Summary
"What?" Ilya mumbles, trying hard to keep his eyes open. He knows they'll have an entire day tomorrow — they both had an off day following their game, so they took advantage of it — but he still wants to pack in as many conscious seconds as possible before they're separated again.
"Nothing," Shane whispers, eyes like chocolate in the warm light of the lamp. "You're so pretty."
Ilya's eyebrows furrow, only to be quickly smoothed over by Shane's finger.
"No," Ilya hums. "That is you."
- or, Ilya has weird feelings about Shane calling him pretty

Summary
Because, here's the thing. Ilya isn't actually jealous. Jealousy implies that there's a potential for Shane to be swept away by one of these random suitors. It means that there's an underlying fear that Shane will choose someone else over Ilya. And aside from the occasional depressive spiral that can lead Ilya to those thoughts — though that rarely happens after so many years of marriage — he knows that Shane would choose him over everyone. He trusts that Shane loves him just as much as he loves Shane.
Ilya knows there's no chance in hell that a random man flirting with Shane in a pet store would be enough to turn his head.
But what Ilya is, is fucking possessive.
-or, people keep flirting with Ilya's husband. He has feelings about it.

Summary
“Do you think you deserve a kiss, Hollander?” Ilya murmurs. “Have you been good?”
Shane nods emphatically, sucking on Ilya’s thumb like that can be enough proof of how good he is. It’s something to do with his mouth, but it’s not what he really wants. He wants a fucking kiss. He wants his husband’s tongue in his mouth, not his finger.
But Ilya just hums condescendingly. “Mm, maybe you will have to earn it.”
- or, Shane just needs to be taken out of his head for a while. It doesn't go exactly as planned, but they make it work

Summary
Yuna slides a folder on the table closer, pulling out two packets of paper. She’d gone all out with the contracts. Mainly, Shane suspected, to ease his nerves about the lines of the relationship. Plus, she was always nothing if not prepared.
She hands one contract to Shane, then another to Rozanov. “As a reminder, this is not legally binding. If either of you wants out early, can’t meet obligations, or wants to change things down the line, that is perfectly fine, and we can work with that. This just lays out the exact timeline of the relationship,” she begins, “down to the start and end dates."
- or, Shane and Ilya never start hooking up in 2010. So eight years later, after they both come out on their own, Yuna Hollander (momager of the century) decides that a PR relationship would be very beneficial for her son and his infamous rival. And everything definitely goes exactly according to plan... or something like that. -

Summary
Her shoulders shake as she continues to cry, and Ilya sighs softly. “Come here, sweetheart.”
He sits back, directing Mina's legs over his thighs so that he can wrap her up in a little ball, shielding her from the world. “I am so sorry, my sweet girl,” he murmurs. “Is okay. I have you.” He holds her to his chest, one arm curled around her back, the other around the tops of her shins.
His heart aches in his chest at the sound of her sobbing and sniffles. He hates this. His perfect baby should never have to feel heartbreak, even if it’s a thing that every human experiences. He wishes he could shelter her from every kind of pain, as unrealistic as that may be.
“You will be okay, my baby,” he whispers.
- or, 5 times Shane and Ilya navigate their teenage daughter's emotions, plus 1 time she handles theirs

The first is that his best friend is freshly single and needs to get laid. The second is that Ilya is having some...weird feelings about it.
These are completely platonic and heterosexual concerns for his friend, of course.

Summary
Ilya had thought it was dumb, when Galina suggested it. A code word for when his mental health was bad—he and Shane didn’t even have a code word for sex, and Ilya was regularly tying Shane to the bed and slapping his ass until it was as red as a tomato.
“Is there a reason you’re calling me?” Shane asks now, voice echoey over the phone. “Or is this part of your strategy to win our argument?”
Ilya swallows hard. “Constantinople,” he says.
--
Or: Ilya goes through a rough patch.

Summary
"He saw the corners of Ilya's lips curve up ever so slightly in that infuriating, tiny hint of a smile. “Goodbye, Shane Hollander.”
Shane could only ogle as Ilya walked away. Fuck. His ass was fat. This was so bad.
Shane Hollander, star athlete, D1 hockey team captain, campus heartthrob, was being completely undone by a brooding Slavic art major that he would probably crawl on his fucking knees and bark for."
--
Shane is ready for another boring semester where he has to pretend like he cares about anything other than hockey. Until he sits down next to a mysterious Russian art student who also happens to be the hottest guy Shane has ever seen.

Summary
Ilya knows that no one loves the same version of a person; his Shane is different to Yuna’s Shane, who is different to David’s Shane, who is different to J.J., or Rose, or Hayden’s Shane. And while Ilya knows he’d fall in love with every single version, he’s happy he gets this one. Happy he gets the Shane who lets himself be trusting, and vulnerable, and honest.
It makes Ilya wish he could have loved Shane earlier - makes him wish he could have known him longer. But he’s just glad he gets to do it now, here, like this.
(Or, four times people are surprised by Shane’s clinginess, and one time they completely expect it.)
