    Summary

    When Ilya Rozanov goes down on the ice, the Boston Bears are already moving to defend their captain. No one expects Shane Hollander, captain of the Montreal Voyageurs, to be the one who throws the first punch.

    Or: the Boston Bears figure out Ilya and Shane’s relationship first—and decide that instead of letting their captain move to fucking Ottawa, they’ll just kidnap a his boyfriend instead. Shane Hollander would make a better Bear anyway.

    Summary

    When the unsentimental financial imperative of the NHL sees Shane traded to the Boston Raiders, he and Ilya are thrown into closer extended proximity than ever before. As they adjust to life as teammates, they are forced to contend with the nature of their relationship -and must answer for themselves: is it even a relationship at all?
    ____

    Sliding down the wall, Shane hunched over his untied sneakers, shoved on hastily when Coach had called him in for a meeting after morning skate.

    “Boston wanted you specifically. I’ve already spoken to their GM. You’re flying this evening or tomorrow morning: I’ll confirm once the paperwork clears.”

    “Mom,” Shane managed.

    “Oh sweetie. I know, okay. Those fuckers, how dare they do this! Two fucking cups! Now all of a sudden they decide they want a reset and you’re going to fund it.”

    Shane put his head between his knees and tried to breathe. God, Boston. They hated him there; it was so far away; he was fucking their captain.

    Summary

    The face off, like always, is between he and Shane.

    "You look pissed," Shane chuckles. "Something happen?"

    Yes, Ilya thinks. You will not eat an actual fucking meal with me and all you care about is this stupid sport and I think I might die before we retire.

    Ilya swallows, "Just waiting to beat your ass."

    "Screw you."

    "You wish."

    Ilya wins the face off. He's never been the kind of player that Shane is— analyzing everyone else, memorizing names and faces. Ilya focuses on the puck and his own team more than anything else. That is perhaps the difference between Russian hockey and North American hockey. Ilya doesn't get to blame the other team, he has to always look inwards at his mistakes and because he is captain— his team's mistakes too. If someone is injured, Ilya has to know how to accommodate them. If someone's wife argued with them over the phone before the match, Ilya has to take that into account.

    The success of the Ottawa Centaurs is on his shoulders.

    Ilya takes a bad hit on the ice.
