Summary
His mother’s eyes darken with weariness Shane recognizes instinctually, a grief separate but not wholly unlike his own. A tear makes its way down her cheek, but Shane’s stay put, stubborn, cradled in his lashline like if he doesn’t cry, maybe none of this is as bad as he thinks it is.
“Just—I just have to ask,” she says. Her voice lowers to a whisper, that ever-steady corner of her mouth wavering as her palm envelopes his cheek. “How long have you been hurting?”
My whole life, probably, Shane thinks. I'm sorry. I just didn’t know.
--
[Or: Shane learns that skill, passion, and meticulous control aren't necessarily immunity, and that rest isn't something he's owed so much as he has to carve out for himself; sometimes with a whisper, sometimes with his pride on the line, sometimes on his hands and knees. And still, regardless, despite—he refuses to give up on this either, even if this time it means believing in himself instead of familiar schedules or rituals. Even if it means his whole life has to change to do it.
Even if it means having to believe that he's worth that much in the first place.]

Summary
“He works nights as an exotic dancer.”
Something in Ilya freezes, his jaw clenches.
“Exotic dancer,” he repeats, keeping his tone as neutral as he can.
He imagines Shane’s body. Precise and graceful, even in some grimy club. The thought of this soft and beautiful boy dancing for strangers, his naked body being touched by their greedy eyes, makes something dark curl in Ilya’s chest.A stripper Shane x Mafia Ilya AU

Summary
Shane Hollander always had a strategy. He had a strategy for winning the Cup, a strategy for managing the press, and a strategy for keeping his relationship with his rival-turned-boyfriend, Ilya Rozanov, strictly in the dark. He really was good at managing it all… Right up until the moment a medical impossibility turned into a positive pregnancy test, and the only man Shane ever loved asked him to do the one thing he couldn’t: tell the truth.
Five years post-breakup, Shane is technically winning. He has the trophies, the privacy, and their brilliant daughter, Airi. And he is perfectly co-parenting with his ex, Ilya Rozanov. The rules are simple: minimal contact, polite text messages about their daughter, and absolutely no acknowledging about their past.
Until Yuna Hollander decides to intervene. Suddenly, the ocean Shane put between them is gone. Shane’s new strategy is simple: survive seven days with Ilya without falling apart.

Summary
He’d seen guys flinch before. Seen rookies go white when they squared up to him on the ice. Watched fear in opponents’ faces when they’d underestimated him and realised their mistake as his shoulder hit their chest.
He had never expected to see it in Shane Hollander’s eyes when he looked at him.
What the fuck did I do? Ilya thought, fingers curling into fists around empty air. What the fuck did hockey do to you?
He didn’t have an answer.
All he had was six years of silence, a thousand nights of imagining what he would say if they ever ended up in the same city again, and the way Hollander had just looked right through him like he was nothing at all.

Summary
“Are you sure it is even mine?”
Hollander seemed genuinely hurt by the suggestion, his big dark eyes fixed on the tiled flooring at Ilya’s feet. For a moment, he looked like he was about to cry again. “It doesn’t matter if it’s yours... Which it is, by the way. You fucking asshole.” He twitched. “But it’s not like we’re together. Whatever choice I make, I wouldn’t ask anything of you.”
“Good.” Ilya said coldly. He kind of felt like he was going to cry too. He wasn’t quite sure why. “I’m glad you know this.”
“Fine.”
“Fine.”- Language:
