    Summary

    It had been almost torturously upsetting how they had agreed to accept different opportunities from one another to establish the two of them as their own, separate artists. It made sense logically, of course it did. But at that moment, logic didn't matter much to his heart that was probably losing out on 5 to 10 years of lifespan with each puff of his cigarette. Though he thought the stress he felt from not being around his emotional support person in life would have cost him at least 20 years instead. So, he was going to take what he got. And right now, what he got could only be the faint scent of him seeping into his non-existent pores in smoke form.

    Torturous.

    Summary

    Ilya ignored the request from the NHL twice. The first time they asked through his agent, the second time the director of marketing called his personal number directly. He never got along with the league as a player, and he certainly didn't need to make them happy now.

    The next attempt to reach him was harder to ignore. A phone call from an unknown number. A voicemail that made his blood run cold.

    "Hi Ilya. This is Rose Landry. We've never met, but Shane speaks so highly of you. I think the NHL has been trying to get in touch. Shane said you probably wouldn't talk to them. But...think about it, ok? I know it would mean a lot to him."

    The final request crumbled his resolve. The caller ID blinked "Jane," and Ilya stared at it.

    ***
    Canon divergence, Shane and Ilya are estranged for a decade. Shane finally reaches out to Ilya when he retires.

    Summary

    Shane lays his hands on the lifeless chest of his fiancé's body, over the suit he was supposed to get married in. He wants to scream, to overturn the whole room and the heavy flowers and the low considerate voices. Everything has been taken away from him in the blink of an eye.

    On the weekend that was supposed to be the happiest of his life, he is watching James get lowered into the ground.

     

    or: Shane loses the man he's supposed to get married to, but ends up moving in with his fiancé's three best friends, including the one who is in love with him.

    Summary

    Ilya clapped his hands decisively, the same way he did when the team was about to hit the ice. "Let me be your wingman. This will be fun."

    He meant it. He wanted to encourage Shane to embrace this, to see if it could help take some of the edge off this tense, tightly wound man sitting across from him.

    Shane bit his lip, and Ilya found his eyes fixating on his plush mouth. Ilya would have to organize a line, complete with a velvet VIP rope the first time he took Shane out on the town to get laid. He was stunning, and he seemed to have yet to realize it.

    ***
    Shane is drafted to the Centaurs two years after Ilya. Ilya takes it upon himself to be rookie Shane's bisexual fairy godmother/wingman, and then immediately regrets it because he catches feelings.

    Summary

    As a straight man, Ilya Rozanov has never had a gay roommate before, but it’s going pretty well. Shane Hollander is kind, silly, and an even bigger hockey nut than Ilya.

    So when Shane starts bringing men over, and Ilya begins to want to bash their fucking heads in, Ilya comes to a startling conclusion: He must be homophobic.

    (He’s jealous.)
