    Summary

    The universe had decided Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov were perfect for each other, so it sent them an unmistakable sign. Unfortunately, the two of them have a lot of practice in mistaking things. So the universe tries again, and again.

    Or: how many soulmate tropes does it take to get two oblivious hockey boys together?

    “Dude, did you get a tattoo?”
    Shane looked over. Shelly, who had the stall next to his at the CN Sports Complex locker room, was staring at Shane’s left arm.
    “Uh, no?”
    “What the fuck is it, then? Looks gnarly as hell.”
    Shane looked down at the dark squiggly shape on his delt, an irregular blob slightly bigger than a loonie. Its edges were a series of indentations and protrusions, kind of like a jigsaw puzzle piece. If he’d seen this on anyone else, he would’ve assumed it was a tattoo, too. A shitty one that should be lasered off ASAP.
    “I don’t know,” he said. “It kinda showed up out of nowhere, like, last night.”

    Summary

    Across the NHL, five players wake up to the news of the FanMail video. There are a lot of group chats, some bad advice, a team who just wants to find their captain, a misunderstanding about how a green screen works and the kind of life-changing news that's too big to be watched on a small screen.

    Summary

    "Apologise to my husband."

    Comeau stared at him.

    "I'm not-"

    "I didn't ask if you wanted to," Shane said, his voice ice cold. "I said apologise to my husband. You're going to do it now, in front of this building full of people, and then we're going to finish this game, and if I hear you say something like that again, to either of us or to anyone else in this league, the next conversation we have will not be as easy as this one."

    Five times the people who loved Shane Hollander finally saw who he actually was and the one time they saw why him and Ilya worked so well.

    Summary

    Based off a Tumblr post by my-2nd-account

    Years into their relationship, Shane ends up wine-warm in Ilya’s lap, kissing every inch of his face he can reach and out of nowhere he brings up Vegas 2014. The penthouse. The elevator. The text Shane almost sent. Seeing his husband quiet, vulnerable, and still aching over it, Ilya stops joking for once and promises that it'll never happen again. They don't have sex, just kiss, Ilya kissing the living fuck out of Shane, making up for lost kisses.
