    Summary

    Shane is conscious for the entire crash. That doesn’t mean he remembers it.

    The brain has a funny way of blocking out trauma like this, of shielding the body from things that would hurt it to remember. But Shane’s ears are still ringing with the sounds of metal crunching and tires screeching, even if there’s a large blank space in his head where the memory should be. The crash was a blur, a blink. Terribly long and then suddenly over, a heavy silence now descending over the eerie stillness.

    Or:

    A week after returning from their honeymoon, Shane gets in a car accident that threatens the future he and Ilya so painstakingly fought to build.

    Summary

    “Three weeks in a row, Ilya.” Shane comments, his own eyebrows raised, “The pans are put back, but always in the wrong place.”

    “Okay, I’m sorry,” Ilya says, fast. Shane turns back around.

    “This isn’t just about the pans,” Shane mutters, low and under his breath, but Ilya catches it.

    “Then what is this about?” Ilya asks, his voice competitive and harsh as he drops his phone to give Shane his attention, “Because you’ve been sighing, huffing, and turning your nose up for the past week, Shane. Is like you are tired of me.”

    Shane’s shoulders stiffen slightly.

    OR

    What starts out as a small, insignificant argument leads to a revelation of emotions that have been building for months, and one comment goes too far.

    Summary

    “Ilya,” he whispers, voice hoarse. “I don’t feel right.”

    The hand doesn’t pull away. Instead, it slides lower.

    Shane stiffens as fingers trace down his spine, lingering too long, dipping beneath the hem of his shirt. Skin-on-skin contact sends a jolt through him, not pleasure, not comfort, but something sharp and wrong. His breath catches.

    Then the hand grips him. Firmly. Possessive. Fingers digging into his ass through his jeans.

    Shane jerks slightly, confusion slicing through the fog. His heart stutters, a hard, uneven beat that makes his chest ache.

    That’s… not-

    ***

    Someone puts something in Shane’s drink. Ilya is not happy.

    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.)
