    Summary

    “They need to return to a conference based system,” Svetlana said, slamming her hand against the table. “It was fucking fine the way it was, why are we handing out participation trophies to shitty divisions?”

    Ilya raised his eyebrows from where he hovered in the kitchen, cracking open another Red Bull.

    “This is fun,” he said, deadpanned. “You guys should start a podcast or something. I would not listen, you are both terribly boring.”

    * * *

    Or, after an injury on the ice forces Shane into an early retirement, he and Svetlana start a podcast.

    Summary

    Shane’s sensible, all-wheel drive, good-in-the-snow car was sitting in the garage when Ilya pulled in.

    Ilya winced.

    There was a reason he’d said no when Shane offered to drive out tonight. It was the same reason Shane had agreed so quickly it was obvious he hadn’t really wanted to come. Since Boxing Day, they’d been stuck in a fight-apologize-make up-go quiet-fight again cycle that was as frustrating as it was heartbreaking. They’d been quiet for a week now, which meant they were just about due for a fight. Ilya wasn’t sure they could survive another fight.

    He winced again when he saw that Shane was still in his car, and had seen the first wince.

    They’d definitely fight now.

    “Sorry,” Shane said as they both exited their cars. “I know we said… I just needed to talk to you tonight and I didn’t want to do this on the phone.”

    Oh.

    Not a fight, then.

    A break up.

    No wonder Shane looked so sad.

    ...

    “Montreal asked me to waive my no trade. They want to send me to LA.”


    Or: There is no dramatic plane landing. There's just Shane and Ilya, choosing each other, even when that means choosing to be apart.

    Summary

    Ilya sits down carefully and takes Shane’s hand. “I am going to ask you something, and I want you to try not to freak out, okay? Take a breath, think about it.”
    That sounds… serious.
    “The Centaurs are having a barbeque,” Ilya says. “I would like to go, and I would like you to come with me.”

    Shane meets the Centaurs. As Ilya's close personal friend slash charity partner from Canada.

    Summary

    “Who are you talking to?” Sveta is looking with a raised eyebrow, at Ilya’s delighted face.

    “Ah, I am talking to my catfish.”

    “What do you mean, your catfish?” Ilya angles the phone so Sveta can see the shirtless picture on the screen.

    “This guy is pretending to be Shane Hollander on Grindr. It’s pretty funny. He’s cropped the face out, but he’s using pictures from the billboard next to my apartment.”

    Or: Ilya Rozanov is sure he's being catfished- why would the real Shane Hollander be on Grindr, talking to random university of Ottawa students? But the more he talks to Wayne, the more he starts to like him, and the more he wishes Wayne would just come clean so they can finally be together.

    Summary

    Hi Ilya,

    My name is Shane! I don’t speak Russian, I hope that’s okay. I’m also 25 years old and I love hockey too! So we have some things in common.

    I’ve never written an inmate before. I don’t really know why I’m doing this. I guess I’m lonely. I’m not very good at making friends or dating. I think maybe I can be a bit awkward in person, but I’m good at writing. So I hope that’s okay.

    or Shane Hollander finds Ilya Rozanov on WriteAPrisoner.com and sends him an email.
