    Summary

    Set in the world of Back and Forth from New York, post-Vegas awards on Scott Hunter Night —

    After the night has started to die down and most of the players had returned to their kitschy hotel, Scott, Shane, Carter, Luke, and Ilya decide on one last drunken/tipsy toast to bookend the season. As they go to leave, a fan around Luke’s age approaches them and nervously gushes that his best friend (and roommate) is the world’s biggest Admirals fan and wants to know if he can get their autographs for him.

    The Admirals do him one better, they all cram into some poor guy’s Uber XL and wake up his roommate at 3AM.

    -------------------------------------------------------------

    Based VERY loosely on that one time in 2022 that the Minnesota Wild fan got woken up by 3 players over Christmas Break

    I came across the video again recently and it was such a funny example of boys being boys. I'd like to think that our silly little family of Admirals would think it was a similarly great idea

    Summary

    After coming out to Rose, Shane decides he doesn't want to lie anymore, even if he isn't sure coming out will mean he gets happily ever after with Ilya. When coming out to the Voyageurs leaves him wondering what his future in Montreal might look like, he lets himself be a little selfish, he lets himself wonder if there might be somewhere else he might be happy. If Montreal wants to get rid of a generational player, he's not about to stop them, especially if it means he can get a little closer to joy.

    --

    Or: Shane Hollander leaves Montreal in search of something better.

    Summary

    “Okay, if you’re going to be cagey, I’ll just lay out some facts.” Jessie clears her throat and Shane is absolutely fucked. He should know better than to try to hide something from a future lawyer. “Fact number one—”

    “Oh for fuck’s sake.”

    “Quiet, you,” she says, sounding exactly like Mom. “Fact number one: You’re acting really weird right now. Fact number two: You got super cagey and strange after your photo shoot this summer. What do both of those events have in common? One Ilya Rozanov. Fact number three: You have been low-to-high-key obsessed with Ilya Rozanov for two years now, and even though we’ve never talked about it again, you said you thought about a man during sex last year. When I put all these facts together, I think the answer is pretty obvious.”

    Shane doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry. But he needs her to say it. He cannot bring himself to admit what is happening out loud. He just presses his fingers harder against his eyes.

    “You’re still not going to tell me? Ugh, Shane! Did you fuck Ilya Rozanov?”

    Or: The events of Heated Rivalry if Shane had a nosy, supportive, bisexual twin sister.

    Summary

    Before Felix could remove his headphones, he heard it. Heavy, borderline panicked breaths. Felix realized that it must be Hollander. His mic was not turned off when he left the interview. Footsteps. And then a door opening and closing. They had filmed the interview that morning at the offices of the Irina Foundation. It sounded like maybe he had gone into his office.

    “Hey, what is it? What is wrong?” Another voice. Unmistakable anywhere. Even if Felix hadn’t spent weeks now listening to it, he would still have recognized Ilya Rozanov’s voice.

    What if the filmmaker making the documentary about Hollander and Rozanov discovered the truth about their relationship. So he approaches Shane and Ilya about filming them over the course of the 2020/2021 season to create an honest documentary that tells the true story of their lives. Canon-divergent AU set during The Long Game.
