    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

    “You know what, old man? Let’s call it what the fuck it is,” Shane said, growing louder. “Because when I signed with this team, ya know, when you were six years into your sad career already, you guys never had even dreamed of a fucking cup. You’re welcome, by the way, I got you four.”

    “Wow, real humble Hollzy,” Stedlund scoffed.

    “You’re gonna tell me I’m wrong?” Shane asked, indignantly. “That’s fine. You all better really enjoy your days with the cup because you’ll never fucking touch it again. I don’t really think I can say the same.”

    Summary

    Shane is conscious for the entire crash. That doesn’t mean he remembers it.

    The brain has a funny way of blocking out trauma like this, of shielding the body from things that would hurt it to remember. But Shane’s ears are still ringing with the sounds of metal crunching and tires screeching, even if there’s a large blank space in his head where the memory should be. The crash was a blur, a blink. Terribly long and then suddenly over, a heavy silence now descending over the eerie stillness.

    Or:

    A week after returning from their honeymoon, Shane gets in a car accident that threatens the future he and Ilya so painstakingly fought to build.

    Summary

    “Maybe later you will be good girl for me,” he whispers, daring it just as the door handle turns and the beleaguered errand-boy returns to fetch them, too involved in his call sheet to notice the shocked red of Shane’s face. They have makeup for that.

    Summary

    Shane wants to figure out if he's gay before he gets drafted—and no, the way he felt when Ilya Rozanov smirked at him with a cigarette between his lips in Saskatchewan has nothing to do with it. Unfortunately, the random guy he hooks up with to try and make sure one way or another takes a picture, and Shane gets outed before the draft. In the ensuing scandal, he goes seventh overall, to Ottawa.

    It turns out, having the worst thing you can think of happen to you when you're seventeen years old can end up being pretty liberating. And land you an unexpected best friend.
