    Summary

    "When you grow up and get married, Shane, make sure whoever you pick is at least quarter as good at helping as you and your dad are okay? So, you get better just like your mom will." His aunt squeezed him and poked at his ribs despite her serious tone.

    Shane giggled against his will and wormed away from her, dodging small pokes. "Okay, okay!"

     

    Even though Shane hadn't really understood what his auntie was saying at the time, Shane kept that conversation in the back of his head for a number of years.

    It resurfaced when girlfriends implied getting more serious, it resurfaced when Hayden talked about proposing to Jackie, it popped up over and over whenever Shane was around Ilya.

    Or: that thing people say about how whoever you marry is who loves you through your parents death (but make it somewhat soft)

    Or, or: what happens when one partner has worn grief like an old coat since he was 12 and you have no idea what that weight feels like

    Summary

    Shane lifts one eyelid again to look at Rozanov. His eyes are red-rimmed. Like he’s been crying. “Why…why aren’t you in Boston?”

    Rozanov’s brow furrows. “Why would I be in Boston?”

    “You, you’re captain. Raiders. Boston.”

    The room is silent except for the beeping of monitors.

    In 2023, Shane takes a bad hit on the ice. When he wakes up, the last thing he remembers is a tuna melt.

    There’s a lot to get used to.

    Summary

    “So,” the reporter says, tilting her microphone just slightly, “can you explain why you were seen picking up Hayden Pike’s children the other day?”
    There it is. Ilya blinks once, slow, thoughtful. Then he shrugs. “Can I explain?” he repeats. “Yes.”
    She perks up.
    “Will I?” he continues. “No.”

    Across the country, Hayden Pike is doing the exact same dance under a very different set of lights.
    “Hayden,” a reporter says, “people are wondering why Ilya Rozanov was the one to pick up your kids.”
    Hayden exhales slowly. “Well,” he says, dry as dust, “there wasn’t a single nanny available. Not one. City-wide shortage.”

    or, Shane and Ilya had to look after Hayden's kids and Ilya picks them up from school, the public reacts, everybody is confused.
