    Summary

    Shane tries to remember, peering into the darkness surrounding the car with a furrowed brow. It hurts to move, and he feels something warm and slick sliding down his cheek.

    More blood, his mind supplies rather unhelpfully.

    He was driving after dark, but he shouldn’t have been. He wasn’t supposed to be. They had all night together, so why is he here?

    I already chose you, Hollander.

    Shane inhales sharply as his mind slowly fills in the gaps in his memory. They fought. Ilya told him to leave. Shane did.

    And then he crashed.

    Summary

    Ilya has always known Shane could do better than him. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that he’s finally found it.

    Found someone else.

    Because that’s what this is, isn’t it?

    Summary

    Shane can’t look at him. He can’t really look at anyone but he manages to lift his head and stare right back into Troy’s glistening eyes.

    “I never had that advantage, Troy. I never got to take it out on anyone, for any of it. All the times I got on that ice to play some hockey and some… fuckwit idiot like Kent, or whoever was calling me slurs— whether they were gay ones or racist ones… I couldn’t just hurl them back and call it a day like you did.”

    He swallows hard. He thinks he might be sick a little bit in his mouth.

    “You know how fucking lucky you are? To have gotten away with it? They love you, Barrett. This team loves you! You’re fucking celebrated because you overcame this big, terrible thing but for me it’s—”

    He thinks about his mom in that very split second. His beautiful, wonderful mom who’d coached him his entire life on how to be polite, how to be well behaved. How to answer to teachers the right way, to coaches, to cops to the press to the general public to his fucking teammates—

    He looks away. The fight suddenly drains right out of him and he goes back to his bag.

    Summary

    “I’m telling you, Shane,” Ilya says. “I take birthdays very seriously.”

    Shane lets out a dignified snort. “Sure.”

    “And I take your birthday the most seriously. It is my job as your boyfriend, yeah?”

    Shane’s heart squeezes in his chest. “Yeah, okay.”

    Ilya smiles, his eyes softening. “Moy lyubimiyy,” he murmurs. “I am going to celebrate you the way you deserve.”

    * * *

    Shane is used to being told he’s impossible to buy a birthday present for. It’s not exactly fun to be reminded of this fact about himself year after year, but he’s come to accept that it’s probably his own fault. After all, what do you give a man who has zero interests outside hockey and keeps his cards close to his chest?

    Turns out, his boyfriend might have a few ideas.

    (Or, Shane celebrates his birthday with Ilya for the first time since they started dating, and Ilya proves he’s the indisputable king of giving gifts.)

    Summary

    Ilya makes Shane play a new game Harris sent him called “Is It Cheating or Not?” and, against his better judgment, Shane decided to play. It goes exactly as well as you’d expect. Which is to say, somewhere between his messing around, Ilya decides to get in his car and drives across Montréal to deal with it personally...much to Hayden Pike’s absolute horror.

    or

    A question game about cheating and relationship boundaries goes wrong, and Ilya quickly finds himself stressed over what Shane thinks he can do...and where he is right now.

    BRAND NEW HAYDEN’s REVENGE CHAPTER!!

    After the cheating game Shane and Ilya dragged him into, Hayden decides it’s finally time for revenge. During a boys’ night out with Shane, he turns the game back on Ilya with his own “is it cheating if Shane…” questions, using Ilya’s imagination against him for once.

    Unfortunately for Hayden, the night spirals faster than expected, and he quickly learns there are some disasters only a husband can clean up.
