    Summary

    "Hi, solnyshko.”
    The Russian pet name set a firework off inside Shane's mind as he heard it cooed from behind him. The intonation was just as he remembered, but the voice was much deeper.

    He turned and felt himself short circuit. It took every ounce of willpower to not let his jaw drop cartoonishly to the floor. Shane would recognize his individual features anywhere, even after 5 years. But it was as if someone had snapped their fingers and the smug, silly Russian boy who had been attached to Shane's hip for 3 summers was transformed into some sort of fucking Adonis right before his eyes.

    “Ilya-” was all Shane managed before strong arms were wrapped around his waist and lifting him off the ground in a greeting all too familiar from years ago.

     

    OR
    When Shane Hollander & Ilya Rozanov spent their summers as teens in an elite hockey camp, they quickly became inseparable friends. But they lose touch when Shane moves on as a prospect for the NHL and Ilya for the KHL.

    Years later, Montreal makes a bold move to take the hottest player in the KHL. After hearing of the Russian's reputation, the Montreal Captain is tasked with keeping his old best friend and new teammate out of trouble.

    Summary

    Gilbert Comeau was there skating across the ice, taking in the boos like they were singing his praises. And he was wearing the C. Gilbert Comeau was the captain of the Montreal Metros. Shane’s Montreal Metros. 
Shane’s mouth went dry. He took off his glasses, as though the slight tint would change anything, would rewrite what was stitched across Gilbert Comeau’s chest.

    “What the fuck?” Rozanov balked.

    “Maybe this is isn’t our timeline.” Shane uttered.

    “What?” Rozanov laughed.

    “Like maybe it’s an alternate reality.” Shane explained. Already, his chest felt tight. He could hear his heart in his ears, pounding with the thrum of the crowd. “Like from movies, or whatever.”

    Ilya only stared at him, that look spreading across his face that Shane could never quite place. Now, though, he didn’t have time for any of this. Gilbert fucking Comeau was wearing his C, and Shane Hollander was nowhere to be found.

    Summary

    Where his friend’s curls should have been on the pillow there was a shock of black hair. Instead of Roz’s familiar features he was looking at a face full of freckles, a face that he recognized easily as they had been playing against each other only hours earlier.

    Shane Hollander.

    Shane Hollander was in Ilya Rozanov’s bed.

    Summary

    Ilya's teammates walk in on him and Shane, cuddling on the couch.
    Ilya is already busted. Now, he just wants to make sure Shane stays a mystery too.
    ---

    As he speaks, his chest rumbles, and Ilya feels it. Shane is on top of him, his head on Ilya’s chest and their legs tangled together. It has become Ilya’s favourite cuddling position — smothered by his lovely boyfriend, his hair in Ilya’s mouth, surrounded by him.

    “Yes, moy lyubimyy, you are right,” he says, but he’s not looking at the screen. His phone in his hand buzzes.

    Summary

    Ilya was used to hazing. He had been subjected to it, he had participated in it, and, as a captain, he had stood guard over the rookies and protected them from anything truly harmful. But if he had been asked, Ilya would have approved of this prank. He would have authorized it, given Cliff and Vicky his seal of approval, perhaps even helped orchestrate it.

    Any other day, Ilya might have been happy to play along.

    But, in perfect dramatic irony, it had not happened any other day. It had happened today. And, cherry on top, of course the rookie had to walk in when Shane was already freaking out about Ilya saying his name.

    +++

    A prank-gone-wrong leads to the Boston Bears finding out about Shane and Ilya’s relationship in 2016. The day Ilya first invited Shane into his house. Right after they say each other’s names for the first time. Fuck his life, honestly.
