“I don’t know what happened at your appointment that made you so upset, but I’m not going to stand here and let you keep punching the fucking tree. What kind of husband would leave their partner alone to hurt themselves?”
“One who knows how to listen.”
“Fuck you. What would you do if it was me?”
Ilya shakes his head. As if Shane would ever let himself lose control like this.
“What, would, you, do?”
“It doesn’t matter because it would never be you. You are not pathetic like I am.”

“I don’t need to see a doctor. I am fine. You’re worrying for nothing. Let’s just go to sleep.”
Go to sleep? Shane huffs, Ilya thought it was fine. It didn’t matter if he was in pain or danger? They should just move on? As if.
“It’s not nothing. I’m worried about your health. Which you don’t seem to care about! Tell me one reason that I shouldn’t be worried!”
“Because I didn’t take them.”
“What?”
“I threw the bottles away when you left. Happy?”

“What?” His accent is thicker than usual.

Ilya almost laughs. They know each other’s bodies more than anything else, and yet ... Shane can see that there is something wrong in him tonight. Is it written on his face the same way it’s in his genes?

Summary
Six months ago, Shane’s intimate conversation and break-up with Rose Landry was recorded and leaked. In those six months, his life had completely upended and everything had changed, for better or for worse. Except for Ilya. He still has Ilya, and he’s beginning to understand that he always will.
It’s 2018. Shane Hollander has to figure out his new life, in a new city, on a new team, while being out to the world but not by his own choice. Ilya, along for the ride, also has to learn what it means to be connected to a place, to a person, and to his own inner truth.
(Sequel to “something you can fix,” set post-Heated Rivalry, pre-The Long Game)

Summary
“I fell through the ice, one time,” Ilya murmured, “Skating on a lake. Playing hockey.”
”Oh, shit. Really?”
”Mhm.” Ilya nodded. He had never spoken about this to anyone. Ever. “It was maybe a few months after my mother died. Skating outside was very normal in the winter.”
”Pond hockey,” Shane said, and Ilya could feel him smiling softly against his chest. He imagined a teeny tiny Shane in his teeny tiny hockey gear, skating out onto a big Canadian lake. No wonder he grew up to be such a hockey machine.
“Yes. Exactly. Coach thought the ice was thick enough, but…”
But it wasn’t goes unsaid. He’d never spoken about this to anyone because frankly, he was embarrassed. Not for falling in, but for still being so fucking affected by it. Of course, it was terrifying at the time. What kind of twelve year old is equipped for that?

Summary
“Maybe you don't have to-”
“Uh-uh. No backtracking now.” Hayden pointed a finger at him. “If you tell Shane, fantastic. Would love that, quite frankly, but until you do, I want those goddamn pictures, Rozanov. Am I clear?” Ilya wanted to make some quip about Pike trying to get a different kind of picture out of him, but given the circumstances... He just nodded. “Good. My kids tragically love the fuck out of you, so figure this out.” Ilya nodded again. “Alright then.”
Silence followed. Ilya eventually got up, and Hayden awkwardly walked him to the door.
“Ilya,” he said, surprising him with the first name. “I know what I say doesn’t particularly matter, and I am mainly just a fail-safe for this situation, but…” He opened the front door and clicked his tongue. “For what it’s worth, you’re a good guy and don’t deserve the shit your brain apparently puts you through.”
"I'm a married man, Pike."
Or
Ilya’s depression shifts into some self-harming tendencies, despite how well he can justify most of it. An unexpected cavalry comes together.
(AKA I found a story filled with sex and decided to hone in on my other favorite things: mental health and complex family dynamics)

Summary
“What is this?” Ilya asked.
“Ah.” Shane couldn’t quite meet his eyes as a faint blush crept across his cheeks. “Well, I wasn’t sure what the dress code would be for the party, so I laid out some options for us.”
Ilya’s heart fucking stopped.
“The… what is this, what is happening?” Ilya asked, wanting to be sure that he understood correctly.
Shane’s blush intensified as he gave Ilya a small, unsure smile.
“I don’t know Boodram very well, so I had to guess what the vibe would be. You were… you were in the shower for a long time and I was feeling anxious so I… Sorry, it’s so stupid but I just wanted to… I don’t know, show you I’m in?”
Or, what if Shane didn't leave after their fight on Boxing Day?
