    Summary

    Shane has been an Ottawa Centaur for a month and is fitting in with the team. But now he has to face the Montreal Voyageurs for the first time since leaving. At least it is a home game. What could go wrong?

    Ilya has made it clear to the Centaurs how this game is going to go. Win the game, watch Shane’s back and send Montreal home crying. But Ilya is faced with watching his worst nightmare from 2017 happen again in front of his eyes. Shane gets hit. Bad.

    Summary

    Shane groaned, eyes cracking open with great effort, the distant sound of barking getting closer and closer, and he couldn’t help but wince at the volume as it pierced right through him.

    “Anya.” He managed to get out, and the dog in question nudged at his head, another groan eliciting from Shane’s lips at the movement.

    He was struggling to understand what was happening, but everything was fuzzy and scrambled and he couldn't hold onto a single thought for long enough to string anything tangible together.

    “Ilya.” He exhaled as Anya nudged him again. “Get Ilya….Anya, find Ilya.”

     

    or

     

    Shane slips and falls on ice while out walking Anya, and Anya is just your everyday Lassie.

    Summary

    He can’t tell Ilya though. He can’t tell Ilya that his team might not be right for Shane. That this perfect solution is making Shane a worse hockey player, a bad teammate.

    That maybe Shane Hollander of the Voyagers really was his full name. That Shane Hollander of the Centaurs might not exist.

    He can’t say that. He can’t ruin everything. He can’t dim the shine in Ilya’s eyes, the bounce in his step, the color in his cheeks he didn’t have the last few years.

    Ilya sacrificed hockey for their relationship for two years, played on a crappy team and watched Shane win. It’s Shane’s turn to sacrifice, to figure out how to make this work and let Ilya lead this time.

    Or:

    Transitions are hard for Shane. Joining his husband's team turns out not to be an exception to that rule.

    Summary

    ”I need my laptop. For the transfer.” He finally says. ”It’s in the top drawer next to the fridge. I don’t think I can walk right now.” The second the man has his back turned, Shane is turning around and fumbling with the key in the patio door and finally, it turns. He’s able to push the door open and he doesn’t look back as he starts running as fast as he can while being injured.

    or, Shane is attacked while home alone

    Summary

    It's Shane's first season as a Centaur and he can’t help but feel like it’s still Ilya’s team, not his. When he gets sick midway through the season and is instructed to quarantine away from his husband to avoid both of the team's star players being out of commission, he wonders if the Centaurs—and Ilya—would be better off without him.

    Or, a sick and miserable Shane who misses Ilya but doesn’t want to burden his husband or his team
