    Summary

    «A safe space, somewhere he could breathe. I know things didn’t end well between the two of you - but did they actually end at all? I’m not supposed to tell you this - I know I’m not - but he asked me to, so… I’m just trying so hard to be a good friend: when they asked him what he’d miss the most, he said ginger ale. Hollander - Shane, I have never seen my man Roz drink a ginger ale.»

    The room spins around him at full speed and Shane needs to hold on to the kitchen counter not to fall flat on his face.

    “That better just be ginger ale, rook.”
    “There’s ginger ale in the fridge.”
    “Ginger ale cold enough?”

    Fuck, Rozanov.

    or: Shane comes out to Ilya in Tampa, but terrified of what loving him would mean, Ilya walks away.
    After Grigori Rozanov’s death, the loneliness Ilya has carried his whole life becomes too heavy to survive alone. Months later, he attempts suicide.
    While hiding away at his cottage in Québec, Shane receives a phone call from Hayden Pike.
    This story begins eight minutes later.

    Summary

    He was walking to his Jeep when the stench of cigarette smoke hit his nose. A few feet away, a tall, broad shouldered figure was standing, back to Shane, watching the sunset. Propped against the wall next to him was the bi-pride flag emblazoned sled.

    “That was a great game.” Shane said, taking a couple steps in the direction of the sledge hockey center. “You’re an amazing player to watch, but you’re really not supposed to smoke here.” The man stiffened and then pivoted slowly towards Shane. Backlit by the setting sun, his facial expression was indiscernible.

    “Oh my God Hollander, you are so boring.”

    Ilya was dead.

    Or at least, Alexei Rozanov said he was. Even after two years, Shane still hoped to see him again. He never imagined reuniting in the parking lot of a community center in suburban Ottawa.
    *
    A family emergency means Ilya and Shane never meet in Las Vegas. In Russia, Alexei uncovers Ilya's sexuality and attacks him, inflicting grievous injuries. Ilya escapes with his life, but is forced into hiding, seeking refugee status in Canada where he builds a quiet, but meaningful, existence.

    The only problem: even two years later, he misses Shane Hollander.

    Summary

    “Are you… are you saying that you want to be in a relationship with Shane Hollander?” The room held a sort of tension, like everyone in it was holding their breath, waiting for Ilya to vehemently deny it.

    The reporter had taken his words in the complete opposite way than Ilya had meant them, but he supposed he was too committed to stop now. “Of course not.”

    “Of course.” The reporter parroted, laughing nervously.

    “Obviously, we are already in a relationship.”

    In Ilya’s rookie season, he impulsively jokes about dating Shane to an invasive reporter. Then, he just… keeps doing it, since publicly announcing it enough times that everyone writes it off as a joke is a great way to hide a clandestine relationship.

    Summary

    Troy gets to have a happy ending. A celebration to finally be himself after all of those difficult years being a douche bag to other players. A celebration to freedom of loving his boyfriend openly, even if he mocked and called Shane a fag more time than he could remember.

    And the fact that he now has to deal with a new, 'changed and pure' Troy Barrett feels like another type of insult that he could never address.

    Summary

    Shane’s jaw drops. “Rozanov?”

    Jesus Christ. He hasn’t seen Rozanov since the Olympics, which was five years ago. As far as he knew— because he’d never actually learned where the fuck Rozanov disappeared to— Rozanov had stayed in Russia instead of coming back to the USA to play out the rest of his contract with Boston.

    And yet, here he is. In fucking Florida, in a fucking tattoo shop.

    After securing his third Cup with the Metros, Shane makes an appointment at a reputable studio in Florida to commemorate the win with a tattoo.

    His tattoo artist is Ilya Rozanov.
