    Summary

    His stomach takes a sharp, screeching left. His heart stalls and then shifts into gear, zero to 180, every tired tract of him seizing and squealing to go, run, leave.

    “Hey, I found him,” Tony says, finishing a conversation Ilya wasn’t in, easy like all conversations without Ilya are. Easy like the world isn’t ending. Like Ilya isn’t standing there, wishing every time he tried to self-destruct or kill himself had worked.

    Greasy black hair. Sallow freckled skin. A turned head and horror-widened eyes taking in the big bad monster who finally arrived onscreen.

    “Shane, Ilya; Ilya, Shane,” Tony says, totally oblivious. “You both like hockey, right? So that’s something in common. I’ve got to take lunch, but I’ll check in on you both before my shift is over.”

    Nobody knows if Ilya Rozanov tried to kill himself before the draft. Nobody sane goes first overall. And nobody knows if Shane Hollander is going to survive another mediocre season with the Boston Raiders.

    Isn’t it funny how a single nick in the ice can change the entire game?

    Summary

    "Almost a year of stolen moments, of hooking up every time they get the chance, of Shane yielding more and more of himself, of Ilya being more and more free and greedy with his touches. Always pushing a little further, always desperate for each other, always indescribably better than anything else ever has been, ever could be. And then the aftermath, holding Shane while the clock ticks down in his head, how many more seconds can Ilya allow himself to stay before he has to creep out into the night like the thief that he is.

    For tonight, the clock has run out. He’s stolen enough seconds of Shane’s warmth and sweetness. If Ilya stays any longer his secret will bleed out of him, Shane will realize that Ilya shouldn’t still be here or the words Ilya is always thinking in these stolen moments will pour out of him and then Shane will know and things will probably be over between them. And Ilya can’t give up what he has of Shane, even though he wants so much more. "

    ______________

    In the first year that they're hooking up, Shane goes into subdrop as Ilya is leaving. Somehow, this is the best thing that ever happened for their relationship.

    Summary

    Ilya knows there's basically no overlap between the kink community and the hockey community, so he's never been worried about fans recognizing them while doing scenes with Shane at a BDSM club. What he hadn't considered, though, is what would happen if their teammates walked in on them.

    Spoilers for The Long Game.
