    Summary

    "Why are you not scared?"

    "I am scared," Ilya admits. "I just am tired. Of hiding me. Of hiding you. Of hiding how much I love you. I want to go to the rink— how do you say it? Authenti."

    "Authentically," Shane supplies, automatically.

    "Yes. Authentically. I want to go to the rink authentically, as me," Ilya confirms.

    Ilya looks at Shane, pauses until Shane meets his eyes. "I want to say: I, Ilya Rozanov, love a man, and that man's name is Shane Hollander."

    Or, sometimes it takes a little more time, and some courage, to be with the one you love.

    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

    For some reason, everyone has a terrible first impression of Ilya Rozanov. Many have an outlandish hatred of him, distrust him, or think he's a terrible fit for Shane Hollander in one way or another. They see him as the villain in Shane's love story, regardless of Shane's many objections to the contrary.

    Unfortunately for them, they couldn't be more wrong about Ilya, and each and every one of them is going to slowly come to realize what a good man he is, firsthand, as Ilya worms his way into their hearts and minds.

    Or, the 5 times where the cast of Game Changers finally realized Ilya Rozanov was a great man, and the 1 time Ilya Rozanov finally got the first impression he deserved.
