    Summary

    “Rozanov, back up.”

    “Backing up,” Ilya said evenly, “But if he touches my husband again I will explore violence.”

    The reporter cleared her throat. "Thoughts on playing against Montreal again?"

    "They did not deserve Shane’s leadership." Ilya paused. "Certainly did not deserve his jawline."

    Shane exhaled, resigned. "You are sitting next to me for a reason.”

    “Yes,” Ilya agreed solemnly. “Leash.”

    @DownBadInOttawa
    There are FOSSILS less down than Rozanov. He is WHIPPED and PROUD of it.

    @MontrealDefenseSquad
    we are getting destroyed by a guy who just publicly admitted his husband controls him. this is the worst timeline.

    When Ottawa faces Montreal again, Shane keeps it professional. Ilya absolutely does not.

    Featuring: one infamous Hollanov Wikipedia page, a professional athlete with a marriage kink, and a fanbase losing its mind.

    Summary

    It happens against Montreal, because of course it does.

    Shane Hollander has accumulated hundreds of penalty minutes across his career, same as every other hockey player, but none have ever been from fighting.

    That is until a bad hit by his former teammates leaves his husband laid out on the ice and a comment that crosses the line has Shane dropping his gloves for the first (and hopefully last) time.

    Summary

    Cliff had to approach this correctly, or Ilya was liable to sock him in the jaw and clam up entirely. Subtlety was his friend here.

    And all of that flew immediately out of his head the moment that Ilya opened his front door, looking sweaty and shirtless and mildly pissed off, which was pretty much his standard look.

    “Are you moving to Canada for some fuckboy?” was how the question came out of his mouth instead.

    Summary

    “What are these?” Yuna hears Ilya ask. He’s standing with his back to her in front of the armoire next to the couch, looking up at the shelves. She’d been on her way back into the living room with after-dinner coffee when she’d paused at the threshold.

    Shane steps toward the armoire, coming up behind Ilya and curling both arms around his waist. “Um, trophies from when I was a kid. Like, minor hockey leagues and tournaments and stuff.”

    Ilya moves his head from left to right slowly, scanning the array of trophies and medals on the shelf. “Is big business? Making meaningless awards for tiny hockey players?”

    “They aren’t meaningless,” Shane protests, but he sounds a little sheepish.

    “Yes, I’m sure the…” Ilya leans in close to read the plaque on one trophy, “‘Sportsmanship Award’ for the U7 Snowflake Classic was very prestigious.”

    Shane rolls his eyes, but he’s laughing. “They don’t have awards like this in Russia?”

    Or: Yuna bonds with Ilya, one plastic trophy at a time.

    Summary

    “We had a wedding this weekend, Miss Emma! With Uncle Shane,” Ruby Pike announces during Monday morning circle time. Miss Emma nods and tries to play it cool. It was exciting when the Pike twins mentioned Uncle Shane. Like he was just their dad’s totally normal BFF instead of the greatest hockey player Canada had seen in two decades. But she wasn’t going to fangirl in front of the kids.

    “Well, it was a pretend wedding—” Ruby starts to clarify, but then Jade Pike interrupts her.

    “Uncle Ilya said if you do the rings it’s a real wedding.”

    Miss Emma’s eyebrows shoot up into her hairline. Uncle…Ilya? As in…

    “Uncle Ilya said the rings and kiss made it real so we should tell Daddy to get him and Uncle Shane a very, VERY expensive gift,” Jade continues.

    There’s that name again. Uncle Ilya. In the same breath as Uncle Shane. With the word kiss. That couldn’t be right…

    Or: Five times someone unexpected keeps Shane and Ilya’s secret, and one time they don’t have to. Featuring the Pike twins, Zane Boodram’s pregnant wife, Ilya’s neighbors, and more.
