    Summary

    “Do you have a budget?” Shane asked once, early on. 

    Ilya looked at him with such patent confusion that for a moment Shane thought that he didn't know the word in English. Then Ilya said, “No, Hollander. I do not have a budget,” voice dripping with disdain.

    “You really should,” Shane said, parroting the line he’s heard from his parents so many times before. “It’s important to manage your finances.”

    Ilya just rolled his eyes.

    -

    Or: how Shane and Ilya rectify their very different attitudes towards money.

    Summary

    “Okay?” Ilya’s voice is softer now.

    A thousand questions underlie that single word. Are we really going to do this? Are we willing to admit that this is worth finding out about? Is this worth fighting for?

    They can’t. Maybe they could have before, but if this is true, if Shane is— Shane can’t.

    “Okay,” he breathes out, instead, foolish and doomed.

    Or: Ilya comes from a line of vampire hunters. Shane gets turned into a vampire right after finding out.

    'The league loves nothing more than putting these two kids in each other's faces.'

    Or, the one time Shane tries to be funny and spends the next half-decade suffering (enjoying) the consequences.

    Summary

    “Why did you want me to meet you here today?” Shane asked. When he’d heard the request, he’d had the same thought as Jared. Was he trying to rub it in? One last chance to retaliate for a long ago rejection?

    Shane had almost made it to Rozanov’s room that night in the hotel in Toronto. But when the elevator doors opened, Shane’s feet had stayed glued to the ground.

    He’d been so afraid of ruining everything, only to have it ruined for him barely a year later.

     

    Shane does not hook up with Ilya in Toronto. Six years later, his hockey career is long over and he has found a new calling that puts his media training, and his pretty face, to good use.

    Consider this a remix of sorts.
