Summary
After Shane shatters his kneecap, he’s forced to retire. And, after growing increasingly angry with her employers, Svetlana approaches Shane with an offer to start a hockey podcast. Each episode has three stages:
- Main Segment: Current hockey news.
- Retrospection: A relevant story from Shane’s life, or Svetlana’s childhood with Ilya.
- Payback: Listeners submit their stories of Ilya Rozanov, and Svetlana and Shane then debate how much money he owes them.
The third part starts mostly as a joke.
What they don’t expect is to watch in real time as Ilya’s bad reputation collapses under the weight of the man’s own legacy.
Inspired by this tumblr post.

Fun premise with podcast and airing out some of Ilya’s ‘Mr cum bucket’s’ shady fun past

Summary
Shane Hollander was perfect; the perfect son, the perfect boyfriend, the perfect friend. He had spent years refining perfection, making sure he was the picture of it. It was second nature after all these years; a suit that didn’t quite fit, but that he’d gotten used to.
Enter Ilya Rozanov. -

Summary
“I am Russian, not Canadian.”
Shane raises up onto his elbow and looks, hard, at this man he loves. “You could be. Canadian, that is. If you wanted to.”
Ilya’s gaze back is searching. Shane doesn’t know what he’s looking for, but then Ilya says, “Loyalty is important in hockey.”
Stuck between a mother country that doesn’t want him and an adopted country in which he feels foreign, international hockey remains complicated for Ilya. An open, festering wound.

Summary
“I’m sorry, but my answer is no. Someone else might be willing to switch if you ask.”
“I can’t believe—this is unacceptable! I’m going to call the flight attendant over and get this sorted out right now!”
Flustered and cornered, Shane injects his Captain Voice into the conversation. “Ma’am, I understand that you’re upset, but I paid for this seat and am going to stay here. You’ll have to find someone else willing to change places or just fly with the seat you booked. I’m sorry I couldn’t help you.”
She hisses like a goddamn tea kettle, and starts to say, “You are the most selfish man I’ve ever—” when another voice behind her says, “You are blocking my seat. Move.”
Shane and the woman turn to assess the new arrival. It turns out that his seat partner is well above six feet tall, ripped as hell, and knows how to deliver an excellent bitch face. He’s also the hottest man that Shane has ever seen in real life, including a chance run-in with Jensen Ackles at a Stars game.
Or, still!famous Shane meets non!famous Ilya on a cursed flight from Ottawa to Boston and kind of (totally) falls in love with him at first sight (and first chirp)
