Summary
"Why are you not scared?"
"I am scared," Ilya admits. "I just am tired. Of hiding me. Of hiding you. Of hiding how much I love you. I want to go to the rink— how do you say it? Authenti."
"Authentically," Shane supplies, automatically.
"Yes. Authentically. I want to go to the rink authentically, as me," Ilya confirms.
Ilya looks at Shane, pauses until Shane meets his eyes. "I want to say: I, Ilya Rozanov love a man, and that man's name is Shane Hollander."

Or, sometimes it takes a little more time, and some courage, to be with the one you love.

Summary
Shane is finally ready to come out on his own terms in an emotional Instagram post about his relationship with Ilya...
The only problem is everyone thinks he was hacked.
To be fair, Ilya writing: No is true, I'm gay for Hollander, did not help.

Summary
Shane and Ilya just want to tell the world about their relationship, on their own terms. If only anyone would actually believe them.
Or: the closet is reinforced steel, apparently.
"I think we tried too hard," Ilya says from the opposite end of the couch, probably scrolling through the same articles as Shane. "Was easier to keep secret than we thought. I could have kissed you on center ice, and everyone would say aww, I love their…what is word again?"
"Bromance?"
"Yes. That."

Explicit between Hollanov, absolutely platonic/parental/mentor-y with their billet child.

Summary
Team management e-mails him early in the afternoon, but it’s just after helping Jackie feed Ruby and Jade dinner, when Hayden has the chance to go to the bedroom and sit against the bed headboard, that he manages to see and read it. The language is polite but friendly, and the person writing it actually identifies herself as the lady from the team’s media relationship, Nathaly, which immediately makes the exchange feel more real. She calls Hayden by his first name too, which also helps. Hayden has read some official communication before, but they addressed the team as a whole, so he knows this is different. Nathaly is talking to him to know if there’s any way he might billet for next season.
***
Alternate universe where Hayden was drafted two seasons before Shane and is three years older than him. He's not quite a veteran, but, somehow, he still gets picked by the Metros to house hockey's second coming of christ, Shane Hollander, during his rookie season. Shane never really leaves.
