    Summary

    “You’ll text when you land, right?” Shane asks as he takes an exit ramp labeled Airport Departures.

    “Yes. Promise.”

    “And you’ll call tonight?” Shane’s throat works over the words, like he still doesn’t trust this new thing between them. Ilya thinks he understands. He also doesn’t know how to trust this love. How can he when it has been trapped in his own heart so long. Neither of them know what the next year will bring. There is so much time before Ilya can have his agent, or his future agent, he will need a new one with no connections to Russia, reach out to Ottawa and hope that they’ll be interested in a future Hall of Fame center. The one thing Ilya is certain of is that he will do everything in his power to make their plan work. He spent his entire adult life lusting after, and then pining for Shane with his whole heart.

    “I will call.” Ilya reaches for the hand Shane has left on the gearshift and threads his fingers through his. He wants to say so much, but he has always been better with touch than words, especially when the only shared language was English. “We will talk every day.”

    Or, There is a year before Ilya can sign with Ottawa, Shane counts down the days until their forever.

    Summary

    How did he let this happen?

    Shane's not sure.

    One moment, he was on the gym floor not staring at Rozanov's gorgeous sweaty body. Then Shane was standing up, but his legs were weak for some god forsaken reason and Rozanov was there, just an arm around his waist to keep him upright, and now...

    Well.

    Now Shane's on his knees on the floor of Ilya Rozanov's shower.

     

    Or

    Heated Rivalry, but the boys are forced to have an honest conversation around 8 years earlier than they do in canon.

    Summary

    @ottawacentaurs
    Shane Hollander ranks hockey players; number five will surprise you!

    “Who’s the third?” Shane asked with seemingly genuine confusion.
    “What?”
    “The third player.” Shane clarified, “In the big three of active players? I mean it’s me and Ilya, right?”
    Amelia nodded mutely whilst Luca Haas, who had been asked the question, stared at Shane with wide eyes.
    “So, who’s the third?” Shane’s face took on a contemplative look.
    “Scott Hunter?” Amelia said with confusion.
    “Hunter?” Shane looked surprised. “Why?”
    Across the room Roz let out a bark of laughter.
