    Summary

    This time when the phone rings, he’s ready. Ready in the only way he knows how to be, the way he would be on the ice: breath coming sharp, heart beating fast, adrenaline dripping. He’d known Shane would call again, the way he’d known Shane would get back on the ice in Detroit, wearing his shoulder injury like a badge. Shane can be very stubborn, sometimes. Shane should know better, this time. Ilya can’t be held responsible for whatever comes next. He picks up on the fifth ring.

    “This doesn’t have to be so difficult,” Shane says. He doesn’t sound angry. Mostly, he just sounds tired.

    Ilya laughs, manic around the edges.

    “I am not supposed to be easy for you, Hollander,” he says, “Big arch rival. Haven’t you heard?”

    Summary: Set during the timeline of the show, from the situationship era to the cottage. Over the years, Shane and Ilya learn how to talk to one another - bodies first, voices second.

    This story is complete with six chapters, and will be updated regularly.

    Summary

    In 2003, Shane Hollander is assigned a PenPal, and gains a friend. A friend who smokes, calls him boring, and gives him ridiculous nicknames.

    Across the world, Ilya Rozanov practices his English with a curious Canadian boy whose name he can't fucking remember.

    Or, before they were Canada's Shane Hollander and Russia's Ilya Rozanov, they were Cat and Elijah. Shane has no reason to suspect his childhood PenPal is his hockey rival, and Ilya has never even considered that the man he's falling for is also the boy he already fell in love with through letters and postcards.

    Summary

    The fight on Boxing Day 2020 end with Ilya asking Shane for a break and Shane walking out the door. Ilya never thought that will be the last time he saw Shane, for a very long time. During this time, everyone Shane loved struggle to cope with the grief, some better than others. Ilya stays in Ottawa and watches over Yuan and David Hollander, grieving their only son, and each in their own, do not survive it. Hayden searches for answers in the wreckage of his best friend's disappearance, turning over events in memory, unable to shake the feeling Shane told him something before he vanished.
    When Shane finally reappears, enduring the unthinkable, broken and barely recognizable, what comes next is harder than anyone anticipated.

    Or: AU after the Boxing Day fight in The Long Game. It's a story of grief, found family, a love that withstands hardship and passage of time, and the most unlikely friendship. Recovery is slow and costly and nonlinear, but that's what makes the happy ending hard won. Major Character Death warning are not for Shane or Ilya.

    Updates Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday.
