    Summary

    Shane and Ilya's new life in Ottawa and the Centaurs is just beginning. They want to live in the comfort of their love and hard-earned peace, go to Pride, play hockey, and have a family. But some in the outside world disagree.
    Settling into a new routine, a new team and a new phase of their relationship is both thrilling and challenging, but they have learnt one thing after thirteen years:

    They can do anything together, and the Centaurs are not the team the hockey world remembers any more.
    They are Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov and nothing can break them apart.
    Not the comments, not the podcasts, not the league and definitely not Roger Crowell.

     

    Meanwhile a call from Russia changes everything and the peace they carved out for themselves spins their lives in unexpected directions.

    Set post-The Long Game

    Updated weekly.
    The whole story is mapped out and will be quite long.

    Summary

    After the tuna meltdown, they never really get the chance to get back together, only watching each other’s lives from a distance, occasionally reaching out through texts, pretending it’s enough.

    Until one day, Shane receives a package at his doorstep.
    It’s a book. It’s Ilya Rozanov’s memoir.

    Summary

    “You have a ride back home, right? Please tell me you aren’t going to drive. You’ll crash one of your stupid sports cars and get a concussion. Or die.”

    “Awe, so sweet to me, worrying. But no, I am in Moscow. I have no good cars here, only shitty Marussia B2. Stupid purchase. You know, the B2 is just B1 but with fancier clothes? Look better than B1, though. B1 look like low-money 80’s future movie.” He makes an annoyed sound. “No. I do not have word. научная фантастика. What is movie type that has flying cars?”

    “Jesus,” Shane says, running a hand through his hair. “I don’t think I’ve ever heard you talk so much.”

    “You like my voice, da? So is no problem, for you.”

    “Fuck you. Do you mean sci-fi?”

    Rozanov makes a triumphant sound. “Yes, that! Sci-fi. B1 look like that meme of a cat’s face covered in cream. Ugly car. So, at least I have better choice. I can look at it and not wish to drive it off cliff and into garbage land.”

    “...You’re thinking of a landfill.”

    Or, Ilya keeps calling Shane at odd hours to talk about nothing and everything. Shane, for some reason he can’t quite rationalize, keeps answering. And texting. And then things get a bit out of hand.

    Summary

    “You said Rozanov is a great captain,” one of the reporters says, deviating from the usual script. “What makes him one? Do you think he’s better than you?”

    If Ilya was here, Shane would immediately answer with a negative. He would also let Ilya be the one to brag about his many, many accomplishments, and maybe banter with him about who’s got more.

    But Ilya’s not here.

    And Shane is bored.

    Or.
    Shane spends a post game interview explaining that his husband is the best captain in the league and accidentally starts a hashtag.

    Summary

    Ilya was quiet for a long moment. "I'm scared I'm going to end up like my mother."

    Ilya is struggling while Shane is on the road with the Metros, and the distance, combined with a brutal depressive episode, leaves Ilya spiralling. When everything becomes too much and the intrusive thoughts won't stop, Ilya takes Anya for a walk - and somehow ends up at Shane's parents' house.
