    Summary

    "I just—I should be thankful we haven’t seen this side of him on home ice, eh?”

    Ilya frowned at the comment. “What do you mean?”

    “Shane’s captain voice is very different from his teammate voice.” Wyatt shrugged simply. “He’s a lot more proactive here. And louder. He sees everything and he doesn’t hesitate to point it out. But at home, he leaves that to you and Wiebe and Bood.”

    OR

    Shane has some scars from his time with Montreal that still linger. It takes Ilya a hot minute to stumble onto the fact, and just a little longer to confront it head on.

    Summary

    Ilya: Are you waiting for my plane to leave, Hollander?
    Jane: No
    Ilya: So we leave the cottage and you don't want to be honest anymore?
    Jane: Ok fine. I am. Is that silly?
    Ilya: No. I am taking photos of birds just to have something to talk to you about.
    Jane: You can always talk to me
    Jane: And you can always be honest with me. We should probably try to keep that cottage honesty thing going as long as we can?
    Ilya: Ok

    Or: It's 2017, and Shane and Ilya need to figure out how to be long-distance boyfriends. Most of the time all they can do is text each other.

    Summary

    Ilya wakes up confused. He’s pretty sure he fell asleep at home, in bed, with Shane fast asleep in his arms, but he wakes up on a flat surface with a pinch in his lower back. Had he fallen off the bed in the middle of the night? Neither he nor Shane move much in their sleep, but he supposes it isn’t impossible.

    He levers himself up on one hand, stretching out his back slightly as he sits up. He’s definitely not in his bedroom anymore. The room he’s in is large and full of bulky hockey players spread out across the floor. Their soft groans and quiet questions begin to filter in his ears as they wake up as well. He sees some players he knows are on the Voyageurs, some of his own teammates, some coaching staff, and even some WAGs like Jackie Pike and Cassie Boodram. But the most important person in the room is laid out next to him, face slack and peaceful with sleep.

    “Shane,” Ilya urges, shaking him. “Shane, wake up.”

    The obligatory characters watch their own show fic.
