    Summary

    “Yes,” Ilya says carefully. “We’re friends.”

    Which is true. Technically. In the same way the sky is technically blue. Troy nods, like he’s confirming something he already knew. He takes a sip of his beer, then exhales, a quick huff of air that might be courage.

    “Do you think-” he says, and then stops, grins awkwardly. “This is stupid.”

    “Just say it,” Ilya replies, a little too quickly.

    Troy laughs. “Okay. Do you think I could get his number?”

    The words land wrong. Hard. For a second, he worries his heart has stopped. Ilya turns slowly, fixing Troy with a look that’s supposed to be neutral. Captain neutral. Inside, something hot and sharp twists in his chest.

    ---

    Troy asks Ilya for Shane's number. Ilya does not cope well.

    Summary

    Troy Barrett comes to Ottawa wanting stability. He tells himself he wants the team, the routine, the structure, the safety of fitting in without needing too much from anyone. This is his clean start, and he needs to do whatever it takes to keep it.

    What he finds instead is Shane Hollander, amazing perfect Shane Hollander, and the uncomfortable realisation that the thing he’s been trying hardest not to want might be the only thing that actually feels like what he needs.

    As lines blur and tempers rise, Troy learns the hard way that wanting to belong can turn into wanting to keep, and that some things aren’t up for negotiation, especially when there’s a Russian captain who’s already decided what’s not on offer.

    or

    “Hey, Ilya?” Troy asks, already regretting it. “I was actually going to ask you about someone.”

    The moment he says Shane Hollander’s name, the locker room goes quiet, and Troy knows he’s crossed a line he didn’t fully understand.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is stupid.

    Ilya didn’t know what Shane saw in him, but you can't just fall for a man you barely met. You can't just fall so deep and so quickly.

    Shane looked at him like devotion came naturally, like getting hurt was a price he was willing to pay. Ilya wanted to protect him from being hurt at all costs. But what if he was the one who did it?

    Shane went first in the draft, and then threw it away by choosing Ottawa.
    A bad team. A losing future. No Cups. No real rivalry.
    Ilya didn’t understand the decision. He refused to.

    Or.

    Shane got his second chance. This time, he refused to wait for years to get his Ilya. He had to take him fast, before depression or any other crap got him. But if he touched the timeline wrong—if anything went off-script—what did it cost?

    Summary

    Mike thinks it all started the day the Byers moved into their house.

    Having sold their house in Hawkins a year prior and moved to California, when they came back, and the town got put in lockdown, they didn’t have a place to go.

    Mike had kindly offered up their place during Nancy’s graduation dinner.
