Summary
Cardiac tamponade: pressure on that heart that prevents it from filling and beating adequately.
Shane thought he knew two things: his move to Ottawa would cause chaos, and that the Ottawa Centaurs were nice.
As it turned out, he only knew one of those things.
(Or: the Cens are still a team of professional hockey players. They're going to fuck up.)

Summary
Shane doesn’t realize he’s braced for silent eyes until he feels the absence of it — the weight of teammates immediately finding him and going quiet, waiting for him to fuck up, to say the wrong thing, to exist wrong. He expects the chatter of a room to drop when he enters and its disconcerting to find it doesn't yet in Ottawa.
He stands at the entrance a beat too long.
--
It’s the start of Shane Hollander’s first season in Ottawa and he should be settled. The Centaurs are friendly, the room is easy, and Ilya is finally close enough to touch. But, as Shane is intimately aware of, old habits learned the hard way will linger.

Summary
The bomb exploded, and Sherlock was kidnapped in the immediate aftermath of the Great Game. Moriarty has come up with a plan to discredit him, and it works perfectly: everyone believes that Sherlock wanted to have sex with Moriarty, and it's turned his life upside down. He doesn't fully understand what happened, and Moriarty is still out there - and he's making promises to come back.
But now that John, Lestrade and Mycroft have found out the truth, they're going to do everything they can to protect Sherlock and give Moriarty what he deserves. The real question is whether or not they can ever make it up to Sherlock.

Summary
Shane’s thumb flicks through the MLH Snark subreddit like he always does after a rough game, looking for anything about him or his teammates. Anything about a bad turnover, a missed shot — he can handle the jokes. He can handle the gifs. He can handle the memes.
But he always had this deep concern that after a bad game, when all eyes were on him, and people were just searching for anything they could to turn people against him, he would find something about him and Ilya—he even had nightmares about it.
So, he would doomscroll. Searching on Twitter or Reddit to see if they found anything. Tonight was no different, well, until he saw a newer post from a few hours ago.

Summary
Shane has everything he could ever ask for. A loving family. A devoted husband. The life he'd always dreamed of.
So why does it feel like his chest is caving in when his mom calls Ilya her favourite?
