    Summary

    A statement released in July, 2022 on the official Centaurs social media channels:

    "In October of last year, Shane and Ilya became temporary foster parents to one of the students that had participated in the Irina Foundation's hockey camps after he was abandoned by his birth parents for coming out as queer. Since then they have pursued first permanent foster placement and adoption. That adoption was granted and finalized this month. Mac Hollander-Rozanov has been in many pictures that, with his permission, are being re-edited and re-uploaded to remove the emojis that were used to protect his identity in accordance with the government's guidelines." 

    An additional paragraph added to a photo Ilya and Shane shared to their personal Instagrams:

    "Family looks different for everyone, and our family is no different. Mac is our son, and we are so incredibly proud of him and his achievements. We hope that the hockey community will be as respectful of him as they are of other children of players."

    Summary

    "Public displays of affection in the workplace?!" Boodram's thick, booming voice echoed from the entrance. The couple laughed, pulling apart only slightly. "Shameless, Hollander. I expected more discretion from a guy as proper as you."

    "Back off, Bood. It's gay month. We have priority now," Ilya retorted, sticking his tongue out at the second alternate captain with the maturity of a child.

    "You're bi," Shane pointed out with a laugh, rolling his brown eyes and adjusting the backpack strap on his shoulder.

    Behind Boodram, the rest of the team began to appear. Troy was wearing the Centaurs' official Pride Night hoodie, while Harris paraded around in his classic denim jacket covered in queer pins—and, this time, completed the look with a vibrant cap that screamed 'Move, I’m gay' in colorful letters. Soon after, Wyatt emerged in the hallway wearing a t-shirt that read: 'I support gay rights & wrongs'.

    "Where the hell did you find that shirt, Hazy?" Shane asked, curious.

    "He has one of those t-shirt printing machines at home," Troy, Bood, Harris, and Ilya answered in unison. Wyatt flashed a proud smile right after.

    Summary

    Shane is having a bad evening. The whole week had been shit, actually. But being in an extremely public place with hundreds of people chattering and most of them touching or talking to him and the lights and his sock is weird and no, I don't want a tray of fried hors d'ouvres or a third glass of champagne-- well.
    A storm is brewing. And only David and apparently Ilya Rozanov of all people can see what's coming.

    Summary

    “And what do you think is your biggest weakness?”

    What the hell?

    Shane opened and shut his mouth a few times. He’d prepared for a question like this. But coming from Rozanov, it sounded so… blunt. And a little mean. He wracked his brain for a moment, coming up empty until —

    “Answering questions?” Rozanov offered. There was a glint in his eyes now.

    Shane didn’t actively dislike many people. Ilya Rozanov was quickly making his way on to the short list.

    or

    Ilya works as a paragel at a law firm, and Shane is the cute new hire.
