    Summary

    after the plane incident and realizing just how fragile life can be, shane and ilya come out to their teams, with varying levels of success.

    -

    He tries to sit and do a puzzle David had given him for Christmas, but he’s too anxious and agitated to do much more than just the perimeter in the end. Then he tries to eat some lunch, but he doesn’t have much of an appetite, so most of it ends up in the garbage. His stomach is in knots thinking about Shane.

    And then, around two hours after Shane’s last texts, he gets a text from Jackie Pike.

    Jackie: Hey, Ilya! Have you heard from Shane? He’s ignoring Hayden’s calls, and we’re a bit worried.

    Ilya’s brow furrows. Shane’s supposed to be practicing with his shitty team, why is Pike trying to call him? A pit of dread opens up in his stomach at the implications.

    Ilya: I haven’t heard from him since he arrived in Montreal

    Ilya: Did something happen, Jackie?

    Summary

    "I know." Ilya put his hand on the back of Shane's neck, squeezed once, and left it there. "Practice is not until ten. Relax."
    "I'm relaxed."
    "You are never relaxed. But I love you anyway."


    "What's that?" Shane pointed to a small rectangle Nik had drawn off the back of the house.
    "Papa's pool."
    "We don't have a pool."
    "I know. That's why I wrote 'not real.'"


    Shane and Ilya play for the Centaurs and raise twin boys in Ottawa. They built something extraordinary under impossible conditions. Extraordinary is the easy part. Ordinary is where things get missed.

    Summary

    When Troy Barrett first mentioned to Ilya that he and Harris had to disclose their relationship to the team management, Ilya couldn’t understand why it would matter. “The team has policies about this stuff, they don’t want to get sued or anyone to think I’m getting special treatment.” Troy tried to explain. “Everyone is ok with it, but we just needed to tell them.”

    When the team had to complete mandatory anti-harassment and discrimination training a few weeks later, the topic came up again. Any personal relationship that may be perceived as a conflict of interest must be disclosed to management.

    “Do I need to tell them?” He asked Shane that night. “I know we play for different teams, but I don’t know…”

    Or… Ilya and Shane each tell their coaches that they are in a relationship with another player. The two conversations go *very* differently, and Shane is forced to deal with the consequences. But he doesn’t do it alone.

    Summary

    Wiebe looked between them and asked “And you two will be okay together? I’m not gonna come back to a murder scene, am I?” Ilya pretended to be very hurt by the statement “Coach! Me and Hollander are best friends! Almost married! Why would he ever kill me when I am shivering puppy in the cold?” Wiebe laughed at that and Shane blushed but said to Wiebe “We will see.”

    or

    The centaurs get stranded near Shanes cottage and have to go there to not die in the cold. This gives Shane and Ilya a chance to reveal their relationship without saying anything. They are engaged but no one knows they are together yet so they have fun with that concept.
