Summary
"And is like I said, very easy to do. You just lay back and let someone else do work. Could do it in my sleep, would not be problem at all for me to come hands-free.”
Hollander scowled, full competitive personality shining through. “Prove it.”
“Fine, I will,” Ilya snapped back.
Hollander's eyes went wide, and so did Ilya's when he realized what he had promised. His words hung in the air between them, suddenly heavy with implication.
---
Ilya doesn't think switching with Hollander one time for the sake of settling a bet will change anything about their arrangement, and it certainly wouldn't make him discover anything about himself. Afterall, it would only be one time, right?- Language:

Summary
Shane Hollander is stupid.
Ilya didn’t know what Shane saw in him, but you can't just fall for a man you barely met. You can't just fall so deep and so quickly.
Shane looked at him like devotion came naturally, like getting hurt was a price he was willing to pay. Ilya wanted to protect him from being hurt at all costs. But what if he was the one who did it?
Shane went first in the draft, and then threw it away by choosing Ottawa.
A bad team. A losing future. No Cups. No real rivalry.
Ilya didn’t understand the decision. He refused to.Or.
Shane got his second chance. This time, he refused to wait for years to get his Ilya. He had to take him fast, before depression or any other crap got him. But if he touched the timeline wrong—if anything went off-script—what did it cost?

Summary
Lately, playing hockey wasn't even as much fun as it used to be. Games were always the highlight, but even that, it didn’t feel as good since his team had been falling apart.
And all that because he came out as gay.
He didn’t really fault them for taking some time to accept it, so Shane let them talk. If that helped them digest the news, so be it.
He let them distance themselves from him, let them gossip around to other teams, let them make him the butt of jokes he didn’t understand.Shane didn’t mind, all things considered.
Everything was fine.

Summary
Shane is frozen to the spot. Or, it’s more like he’s being ripped apart from the inside. Half of his body - the parts connected to his panicking brain and nervous system - are pulling him out, towards the road, towards escape, towards safety. The other half of his body, the parts that might be connected to his heart, are trying to drag him back inside.
In this moment, he is completely unable to decide which direction to go, and with each stuttering heartbeat it’s getting harder and harder to breathe. His body decides for him, brain and heart meeting in the middle, and he collapses down onto Ilya’s front step, giving in to the panic attack and letting his brain fill with fog.
OR
Shane runs away during tuna melts, but only makes it to Ilya's front step. Everything that happens after is similar - except that it's so, so different.
