    Shane comes out and gets a little unhinged by the tepid reaction it gets from the Metros. The more he gets iced out the madder he gets.

    Summary

    “We could’ve had everything,” Shane admitted softly.

    The confession hurt more than he expected.

    “A real relationship. A family. A future.” His eyes drifted toward the planes outside again before he exhaled slowly. “But dreams eventually end.” A small, tired smile pulled at his mouth. “And this is me waking up.”

    Summary

    'Mala fides': bad faith, purpose to deceive or defraud
    - Merriam Webster dictionary

    For Harry Potter, the man-who-lived-twice, savior of the Wizarding World, and the ultimate golden boy, life was good. He had survived the war, had a job he loved, a good home, and wonderful friends; the future seemed bright.
    But when he's asked to assist on a case involving Unspeakables, what he discovers deep in the bowels of the Department of Mysteries turns his world upside down.

    Betrayed and heartbroken, Harry does what he knows best; he jumps into the unknown like the good, little Gryffindor he is.

    Summary

    "Can you speak, Ilya Rozanov?"
    "Yes, ma'am." Ilya responds obediently. "I am happy to meet you."
    "You are scared shitless, Ilya Rozanov." She says.
    "That, too." He nods. "I want you to like me very badly."
    "I don't like anyone." She says, but Shane watches in morbid fascination as a grin reveals her gold teeth. "I am a terrible old bitch."

    Ilya Rozanov meets his husband's great grandmother and certain understandings are reached.

    Summary

    "Shane, do you have any comment on allegations that your on-ice performance declined after you started your affair with Rozanov? Have you seen the blogger who has been re-analyzing your stats and making that case?"

    Shane wrinkled his brow. "Don't call it an affair," he said, reflexively. "That makes it sound like we were cheating. And no, no comment."

    "I will comment," Ilya said. "It is ridiculous."

    "I'm sorry," Shane said, his brain just now catching up to the second half of the question. He really hated the word "affair." It had distracted him. Too much, apparently. "Did you say something about my stats?"

    ----

    Or: Shane had no intention of giving the press any information about when he and Ilya started hooking up. Ever. It was so thoroughly nobody's business.

    But what was he supposed to do, just let people be wrong about his stats?

    (Set post-Long Game, with vague Long Game spoilers.)

    The timeline comes out because 1 hockey blogger tries to guess when they got together with wrong info.
