    Summary

    Ilya was a lot like his mama. Blond curls, bumpy noses, sharp cheekbones.

    They both loved to dance around the kitchen and cook for the people they loved. They joked and laughed and when they were happy, their smiles shone.

    They were both very, very sad.

    Ilya saw his mama in everything. Especially himself.

    or,

    Ilya goes through a depressive episode. Shane helps.

    Summary

    Shane decided it was time to call in reinforcements. Ilya’s depression wasn’t a secret anymore. It had taken time but slowly he opened up to the team, and eventually the public, about his mental health struggles. It was important to him to fight the stigma, to show that everyone needed help sometimes, to talk openly about going to therapy and taking medications. Shane was so proud of him. It was a long road to get where they were, both Ilya and Shane struggled, but they were doing their best. They were on a team that supported them unconditionally and loved each other like family.

    That’s why he called Harris.

    Or: Shane is away in the States to do brand shoots and it happens to coincide with the worst depressive episode has had in years. Thousands on miles away and feeling powerless, Shane does the only thing he can think of: call the Centaurs to check on Ilya. What follows is a week of Shane and Ilya's front door revolving as the Cens come through in the only way they know how; with unconditional love and support.

    Summary

    If you were to ask Shane, he would tell you that the most interesting thing about his marriage was that he knew Ilya better than he had ever known anyone else. Shane could read Ilya’s tone and expression and body language in the same way that he could read an opposing team’s strategy after only a few minutes on the ice.

    Which was why, as Shane was standing at a cocktail table watching Ilya chat casually with several strangers at the bar across the room, he felt his chest tighten with anxiety as he realized that Ilya was about to punch the guy in front of him.

    -

    Or, someone from Ilya's past shows up uninvited, there's fallout, and Shane comforts Ilya.

    Summary

    ‘David, is Ilya. Have suddenly got upset stomach. Sorry.’
    Too cliched.
    ‘David, have broken both legs. Do not send ambulance. Will walk it off. Regards, Ilya.’
    Too melodramatic.
    ‘David, do not want to go. This is Ilya.’
    Too cruel.
    ‘David, I cannot embarrass you. You mean too much to me. Love, Ilya.’
    Too true.
    Fifth time’s a charm and Ilya sent ‘On my way!’ instead. David’s reply was immediate, ‘We’re gonna make a night of it, bud!’

    Or: Ilya is David's plus one for a function and is utterly unprepared for how David has been talking about him at work.

    Summary

    A kitchen table. A public pool. A boy's bedroom. A gay club. A hook-up app. Another gay club. A bad news announcement. A good news announcement. A bad news announcement. A night with friends.

    Or, a study of Ilya Rozanov's queer identity.
