Summary
“You want to talk to people about me?” Shane asked quietly.
There was something small and confused in the question. But Ilya was still furious and raw.
“Well I would,” he sneered, “if there was anything about you that was fucking interesting to talk about! It would be nice to not be so fucking bored and miserable!”
The second the words left his mouth, he watched the pain roll across Shane's features like a thousand fractures shattering through glass.
Ilya had seen Shane nearly break ribs. He had seen him miss game-winning shots, take hits that left bruises blooming purple and black across his skin. He had never seen this.
Shane closed his eyes for a long moment. He shook his head slightly, a tiny movement, then nodded once as if agreeing with something only he could hear. His face twisted briefly with a fresh wave of pain before he forced it to still.
---------
What if Shane and Ilya don't make up so easily after the Boxing Day fight? The Centaur's plane never malfunctions, so Shane never proposes. Instead, Ilya gives him an ultimatum on coming out and going public. It backfires spectacularly.

Summary
Ilya Rozanov thinks it's probably best to decline the invitation to the 2017 All-Star Game. It's not swaggering, knothead alpha male bullshit; it's a survival strategy. He doesn't think it'll end well for anyone if he's forced into playing an instinct-driven, blood-pumping sport like ice hockey with Shane Hollander right now, not when Hollander is probably going to bring his new girlfriend to Tampa for the weekend.
But it's Hollander. It's Shane. So of course Ilya doesn't decline the stupid invitation. And of course the game goes sideways.
That doesn't mean it doesn't end well.

Summary
“Here he is,” Harris stops them in front of an office door, which is slightly ajar. Harris swings the door open to reveal Shane Hollander.
“Hollander?” Ilya blurts out, unable to hide his surprise. Shane looks the same in a lot of ways, with the same shiny black hair, large brown eyes, and appealing dappling of freckles across his cheeks. He’s wearing a t-shirt, some piece of Ottawa Centaurs merch. Shane Hollander is just as cute as Ilya remembers him to be when they were sending each other heated looks across the gym in Los Angeles.
“You two know each other?” Harris asks, looking between the two of them.
“We were drafted at the same time,” Shane explains quickly.Ilya is traded to Ottawa in 2018 where he finds Shane Hollander working for the Centaurs as the team's nutritionist.
