    Summary

    Ilya closes his eyes.
    He blinks back his tears. He wants to nod or shake his head or something, but he can't.
    This can't be happening.
    He blinks and blinks and blinks again but he's still in the hospital and he still feels like shit and his mom is dead and Shane is far away and he thinks he's depressed and there is something inside of him that he doesn't know what to do with.
    Fuck, he thinks, in russian and in english and in french, even. Fuck.

    Or, in 2020, Ilya has a (very) unplanned, (very) complicated pregnancy, Shane has to learn that sometimes things don't work out the way he planned, and some other things. Set in The Long Game, kind of.

    Summary

    Shane snickers, like he’s realized the whole situation is a little ridiculous: his concussion, his hospital bed, his secret fuck buddy calling his parents and making him breathe and talking to him like a fucking T-800. 

    “Okay, maybe you could sit down, at least?” he suggests.

    Summary

    Ilya loves Shane. He will for the rest of his life, but sometimes he feels like he's stolen something that doesn't belong to him. His feelings intensify when he finds out he's pregnant with their first child—navigating his complicated feelings of parenthood, combined with his own experiences with his abysmal and traumatizing childhood, leads to some problems. Ilya thinks he's too similar to his mama, yet is terrified of becoming like his father. He's maybe being a little too drastic to save his own child from experiencing the same trauma.

    Shane is just happy his family is growing, and his happy future is coming to fruition.

    Summary

    In 2015 Ilya Rozanov is injured badly enough that it ends his career. In 2016 his brother and his wife die in a car crash, leaving behind their four year old daughter Maria. Since Ilya is the only remaining relative capable of caring for his niece, he takes her under his wing and tries to raise her to the best of his ability. His situationship with Shane Hollander ended when his career did, but with the little girl now in his care Ilya didn’t have the time to be hung up about it. Mostly.

    In 2016 Shane Hollander makes peace with the fact that he will never hear from Ilya Rozanov again. At least that’s what he tells himself.

    In 2019, Ilya Rozanov enrolls his niece at a hockey summer camp for kids. Unbeknownst to him, it is the same hockey camp Shane Hollander is set to coach at.

    Neither of them expects to ever see the other again. But what happens if they do?

    Summary

    A few years ago, Ilya asked what would happen if he asked for a divorce, as a joke. Shane stared at him, expressionless, and said he’d kill him. Ilya laughed, but he felt it low in his belly - a dark, hot thrill. Shane didn’t crack a smile.
