Summary
"I'm calling it 'Adopt a Stray,'" Cliff announced, pacing the rug. "Tomorrow night. Boston vs. Montreal. We announce a new 'tradition.' We say that Boston has noticed that not every team is as close as ours. We say we’re looking for 'strays'—players who aren’t really accepted by their team, always seem an outcast, that need a little extra team bonding or whatever. And the first 'stray' we’re adopting? Is Shane Hollander."

The Quiet Assist by Kiyominox

Summary
Shane has always believed survival meant discipline. Precision. Powering through the noise, the pressure, the parts of himself that never quite fit. Hockey gave him rules when the world didn’t, and he learned to excel inside that structure even as everything else scraped him raw.
Ilya notices what no one else does.
Quiet adjustments, steady presence, and the refusal to treat Shane’s needs like flaws. When the idea Shane has been running from finally takes shape, it doesn’t break him. It reframes everything. The anger. The exhaustion. The brilliance.
This is not a story about fixing what’s broken.
It’s about learning a language for the way Shane’s mind has always worked, and what becomes possible when he stops fighting it. It’s about love that makes room instead of taking space. About a rivalry that becomes partnership. And about what happens when understanding doesn’t just change a player, but reshapes the game itself.
Because some legacies aren’t written in records.
They’re written in who gets to stay.

Summary
“So… you’ve tried stuff. Stuff we haven’t tried yet…”
There isn’t a clear question in any of this, yet. Ilya has never thought Shane was the type to care about body count, so he assumes this is about something other than his past proclivities.
“Shane. Is there question in there, somewhere?”
“I’m just curious! Like, were you, y’know, bossy with other people?”
“Usually. If that’s what they wanted. I have always liked it,” Ilya shrugged.
Shane took a moment, visibly digesting that in his head. Eyebrows scrunched, eyes locked onto the crease between the couch cushions. Ilya pats his knee, giving him a moment.
“Have you tied someone up?” He finally asks, quietly.
Shane is just trying to get used to asking for what he wants, alright?
