Summary
What if Shane and Ilya are so young and dumb that they accidentally fall for each other like immediately and are too uninhibited to get in their own ways?
or
Shane fell first! No Ilya fell first! WRONG! They tripped at the same time & hit their heads together so hard they forgot they were supposed to be chill. The people yearn for soft! sexy! hockey! boys!
(If you want more soft hockey boys this is a sequel to The Early Days)

Summary
What if Shane and Ilya had much more explicit yearning and wanting at their first International Prospect Cup in Winter 2008 and at the draft in Summer 2009? What if this builds and builds to them hooking up for the first time at their second International Prospect Cup in winter 2009 instead of waiting until 6 months later at the CCM shoot? (They are both still 18+!!!) What if there's a blizzard and Shane and Ilya have to share a hotel room? What if they were super super soft lil love sick guys? What if they hook up again at the CCM shoot?
or
Canon-compliant-ish & slow burn-ish & yearning & WANTING & sorta realizing feelings very early on & being love sick lil sweet guys + Bed sharing trope makes me go feral.

Summary
In another timeline, Shane and Ilya hook up in room 1410, nothing goes wrong, and everything plays out exactly as we know it.
In this one, Yuna Hollander walks in before Ilya can leave—and the seven-year situationship never gets the chance to start. Instead, through the power of miscommunication, Shane and Ilya start dating in 2010. With better support, they make better decisions. Their rivalry fizzles out before it ever has the chance to fully ignite, replaced instead by a beloved “bromance". In 2015, they come out to the NHL and the world.
No one believes them.
Or: Somehow, despite Shane and Ilya being out for two years, Scott Hunter is still considered the first openly gay player in the NHL, much to Ilya’s horror.

Summary
“Shane is playing the best season of his career in Boston. I’ve stepped away from hockey to focus on my therapy. We have a mare, a goat, a home, and on paper- everything should be perfect, yes? So why am I not okay?”
or: A direct continuation of the first part “That’s My Line.”
non-linear healing progress that moves forward, slips backward, and often feels chaotic and examines the tension between the desire to get better and the fear of falling apart.Series
