    Summary

    Ilya’s heart is breaking. He doesn’t want the first thing he does, the very first thing, after Shane’s choices have been so brutally ripped away from him, to be something Shane is begging him not to do. But Shane is seriously injured, much beyond what they can handle with first aid at home or even if they found a discreet doctor to make a house call. He will need an MRI, a broken bone set, probably surgery. And evidence should be collected too, for the police. That part Ilya will not push him on. But he cannot let Shane risk his life for his pride and the fear of shame that has controlled him for so long. “I am sorry, moy lyubimyy,” Ilya says, “So sorry. But Marleau is calling ambulance, and you are going to the hospital.”

    ***

    Shane and Ilya are spending Christmas together in Boston during Ilya's last season playing for the Bears. They're finally out, and they're in love, and soon they'll only live two hours apart.

    When Shane is assaulted, the plans they had built for their future collapse. Now the road ahead is a long, grueling process of physical and psychological recovery. What they had before-the sex, the playful power exchange, the easy trust-is gone, and they have to build something new, together.

    Summary

    "Rozy," Brian, the team doctor says, "talk to me, buddy. That puck clipped you pretty good, how’s the pain?"

    Ilya blinks. He clenches his jaw against a wave of nausea. He rests his cheek on the ice, and the cold helps a little.

    "Bad. Very bad." He swallows. "Is Shane here?"

    or, in the final MTL/BOS game of the year, ilya takes a puck to the head.

    Summary

    “Nah, Shane would be a terrible Traitor,” Ilya said. Ilya took hold of Shane’s face, squishing his cheeks and making his lips puff out like a fish. “Everyone look at this face. You really think he can lie?” Ilya yanked Shane’s face closer to him, making Shane stumble. Some of his ginger ale sloshed out of the can. “You think he can lie to me? Please.”

    Shane rubbed his cheeks with a frown once his husband released him. “Thanks, I guess.”

     

    OR: Shane and Ilya go on the very first MLH edition of The Traitors and chaos ensues.

    Summary

    “This will not be easy,” Ilya warned, absently touching Shane’s freckles as he always did when he was particularly stressed. “My brother didn’t name me as a guardian, and Russia will not be too happy to give one of their citizens over to someone who famously married another man.” He let his head fall back against the headboard. “And the media will be insufferable.”

    Shane nodded. Yes, this entire situation would be a fight…and, even if they won, this little girl may not be pleased to go with them.

    “And if she stays with Polina?” he asked cautiously. “What would that mean for her?”

    Ilya wrinkled his nose. “Nothing good,” he finally admitted.

    Or

    When Shane and Ilya pictured kids they did not necessarily imagine fighting all of Russia to get custody of Ilya’s recently orphaned niece, who is traumatized, prickly, and raised by the laws of her country. Alas, neither Ilya nor Shane could be accused of doing things the easy way.

    Summary

    “I am out for the season?”

    “Probably."

    “Are you by any chance looking for a trophy husband?”

    “Ilya.”

    “Yes? No?”

    “It’s one season, Ilya, we’re not—it’s bad because you’re hurting, not because—I’m not letting this fuck anything up for us, okay? We’ll figure something out,” Shane says, resolutely.

    or, you know what they say about the best laid plans

    ilya’s first year in ottawa looks a little different than originally planned, maybe sort of because he ends up spending it recovering a broken leg in his boyfriend’s apartment, but probably mostly because he meets jackie pike
