    Summary

    Shane is in a post-game interview when his world stops.

    He’s just answered a question about Montreal’s offensive strategy going into the game. Clean passes, avoid penalties, draw defenders wide. It had worked and the Voyagers had beat Colorado soundly, 4-1. Shane had scored two of the goals and assisted on a third.

    Usually, Shane would be eager to boast about the win to Ilya. But ever since their fight- since Ilya told Shane to leave- winning feels hollow. Losing feels better, somehow. As if Shane deserves to lose after being so selfish. Ilya gave up everything for him- his home, his team, and to some extent- his happiness. Hockey. Ilya gave up hockey- good hockey- for Shane.

    A ripple goes through the room of reporters. Shane swears he hears the word ‘Ottawa’ and ‘crash’. But no one is paying attention to him anymore.

    “What’s going on?” he asks into the microphone, feeling strange at the role reversal. Usually, he’s the one being asked questions.

    No one answers. And this time he knows that he hears the word ‘Ottawa’ and ‘Centaurs’.

    ------------------------------------------

    Shane rushes to Ilya after the almost plane crash. Their secret is no longer a secret.

    Summary

    “Dude, I’d really like to know less about your sex life.”

    “Is good for you,” Rozanov said. “You need excitement in your life. What do you give Mrs Pike, fifteen minutes of missionary?”

    “Fuck off.” Hayden scowled at him. “I have four fucking kids, I think that’s evidence enough that my bedroom life is happy.”

    “Fifteen minutes of missionary can make four kids.”

    “It’s not fifteen min- Oh my God just stop it!”

    ~~

    Hayden needs to get from Montreal to Ottawa in time for their game that afternoon. Shane has a great idea about who can give him a ride.

    Summary

    Hayden was starting to suspect this was just how they were going to handle it for the rest of time, pretending he and JJ had never made that fateful visit and were still none the wiser. It wouldn’t have been the worst outcome.

    Then Boston came into town to play Montreal.

    Hayden should’ve fucking known. Of course Rozanov’s mere presence in his country was gonna cause a fucking problem.

    ~

    Shane decides Hayden and JJ should come for dinner to meet Rozanov "for real". Hayden is not looking forward to it.

    p1 is helpful but not necessary
