    Summary

    Scott texts Kip that he’s bringing Shane back to the apartment. “Hey, I kind of have a big favor to ask you and I need you to be supportive about it.”
    Kip replies almost immediately, “That sounds ominous, is everything okay?”
    “I don’t know,” Scott decides to be honest, “You know how I’m shooting that commercial with Shane Hollander today?”
    “Yes…” He can practically feel Kip’s anxiety leaking into that one text.
    “Well, I think something happened to him. Something bad. I’m bringing him back to the apartment.”

    -

    Shane and Scott are supposed to be doing a commercial together but Scott notices that Shane’s acting… off. He finds out what happened in Vegas and forces Ilya to fix it.

    Summary

    Several years into Rozanov’s career, ESPN hires a reporter fluent in Russian.

    Suddenly able to answer questions fluently and with a wide vocabulary, Rozanov’s interviews go viral. Hockey fans around the world get a new look at what they thought about Boston’s #81. This changes not only his public persona, but his whole life.

    Inspired by the look on NBA star Nikola Jokić’s face when he was asked a question in his native Serbian and my own struggles learning a new language.

    Summary

    "And… and this is a particularly strange coincidence, but we're getting reports in that Ilya Rozanov, Captain of the Boston Raiders, is also being removed from his game against the Admirals in Boston tonight after he collapsed, similar to Hollander here. Rozanov is not currently responsive, according to the commentators of that game."

    Or: Ilya and Shane form a soul bond and become a package deal, much to the dismay of everyone involved.

    Summary

    “Ilya, you’re playing the Voyageurs next, in Montreal. How are you feeling about that?” An ESPN mic is held to his face.

    Rozanov grins. “Really good. About time. I know we have been winning a lot, but is always the most fun to beat Montreal.”

    “The situation’s kind of changed though, hasn’t it?”

    “Is true.” Rozanov looks almost thoughtful. “It used to be the most fun to beat them because they had the best player on their team. Now…” Rozanov trails off. He chances a look to the side, as if to check if someone’s there or not. “Now is going to be fun because they are very stupid.” Rozanov’s face is very hard. Serious. Angry. Scary.

    Or: Signing with the Montreal Voyageurs should have been the best day in Jordan Bicker’s career. If only it weren’t for Ilya Rozanov…

    Summary

    It’s not that Shane was expecting a text. He and Ilya have never gotten together before a game. But, they’ve also never had the time to before, and never had so many feelings out in the open. They have been talking nonstop over the phone for weeks, and both of them had been clear about how much they missed the other. So why hadn’t Ilya texted yet?

    Tabbing over to Google on his phone, Shane clicked on his recent search of “Ilya Rozanov,” hoping to find anything that could answer why he hadn’t heard back from the man he loved yet. There was nothing about their plane, but there was a weird recent Reddit post that caught Shane’s eye.

    ILYA ROZANOV IS GAY??

    Okay y’all, Twitter in Russia is going fucking insane right now, and I don’t think it’s breached the US yet, so here we go. A video was posted like an hour ago (attatched below) of Ilya Rozanov, captain of the Boston Bears and star center, in an intimate position with another man….

    AKA: an alternate telling of episode 5 with a much more sad Ilya
