    Summary

    Ilya stared at her for a long moment. Yuna studied his face to try and figure out if he understood her, but this almost six year old already knew how to hide his emotions on his face better than most adults she knew.

    “Okey,” Ilya said and then he turned to face away from her.

    Yuna decided that was enough for today. Shane returned and Yuna watched as Ilya’s mask broke when he saw Shane. Ilya was smiling at Shane like he was the only star in Ilya’s sky.

    OR

    Ilya and Shane meet on the first day of kindergarden. Yuna feels motherly towards her son's new friend.

    Summary

    Ilya’s mouth fell open a little. “It is 2017 Shane and your father has no idea I am here. I should hide.”

    “No!” Shane reached out and took Ilya’s hand. “Wait, if you really think it’s 2017-”

    “It is 2017, Shane,” Ilya interrupted him.

    He’d forgotten what he was going to say because Shane’s left hand was suddenly in his field of vision. He stared at it, stunned. There was no ring on his finger. There wasn’t even that little tan line that was always there when he took it off. How had he not noticed it was gone? Shane always noticed when his ring wasn’t there. Could feel its absence acutely, whenever he had to take it off which was almost never.

    “Ilya when did we first say ‘I love you’ to each other?” Shane asked slowly.

    “Yesterday,” Ilya replied. “What is going on Shane?”

    Shane sank to his knees on the dock, his head in his hands. They weren't married. His parents didn't even know about Ilya yet. They were still rival hockey players who lived in different countries and Shane felt like his heart was breaking.

    Married, happy Shane from 2022 travels back in time to his and Ilya’s first summer at the cottage.

    Summary

    'Give them space, Rozanov!'
    'Is he alright?'
    'Rozanov, get back!'
    'Is he alright?! Fucking tell me!'

    The ref just kept a hand on his shoulder, keeping him a short distance away from Shane and the medics. The medics, who were... doing CPR.

    Secrecy be damned.

    'SHANE! SHANE!'

    OR

    Shane’s injuries were worse. Much worse.

    Summary

    The Boston Bears group chat had sixty-three new messages in the span of three minutes.

    His coffee forgotten, Ilya swiped open the chat, scrolling quickly to find the source of the commotion. A link to The Athletic, posted by Jensen, their captain, followed by a string of exclamation points. Ilya tapped it, the headline materializing on his screen like a blow to the chest:

    BREAKING: MONTREAL VOYAGEURS’ SECOND DRAFT SHANE HOLLANDER ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT

    Ilya's pulse jumped, hard and sudden in his throat. The mug slipped from his hand, not falling but landing too heavily on the counter, coffee slopping over the rim. He set it down properly, his movements mechanical, and forced himself to read the rest of the headline:

    20-YEAR-OLD ROOKIE OF THE YEAR STEPPING AWAY TO PURSUE HARVARD BUSINESS DEGREE

    Or

    Shane Hollander has spent his entire life living and breathing hockey. At twenty, at the height of his career, he makes an unthinkable choice: he walks away to discover who he is beyond the ice.

    But some things don’t stay behind.

    What happens when the rivalry between him and Rozanov ends, but the pull doesn’t?

    Summary

    The sports world is on fire. A leaked, heavily redacted copy of the Raiders' joke "truce" letter to Montreal, paired with photos of their drunken night of bonding out at a club, has the entire public convinced that the Montreal-Boston playoff series is a multi-million-dollar fraud — and that Ilya and Shane are two of the masterminds behind it.

    Ilya doesn’t give a shit about the headlines. He doesn’t care about the media circus swarming his hotel lobby, or the strict coach-mandated lockdown confining him to his room. All he knows is Shane is across town spiraling, and he's not with him.

    Good thing Cliff Marleau is willing to do whatever it takes to help his best friend get to his man.
