    Summary

    “Don’t worry?”

    Shane’s hackles raise, because not long ago he’d read Ilya’s last words and felt his heart stop. And not long after that, Shane watched Ilya collapse, fade, and everything in his own body leaped to follow.

    Worry seems pretty appropriate, actually.

    “Shane,” and the way Ilya says his name, like it’s something precious, will never stop shaking Shane with the double-tap of his blood, rising to the wonder of it; it’ll never stop making Shane feel seen for every raving thought and fear and dread he’d spent his whole life hiding, like Ilya’s first language was Russian, but his mother tongue was Shane.

    “I mean only you don’t need to worry, it will all be fine,” Ilya says so gently, steeped in more love than Shane quite knows how to hold. “Is natural for me.”

    “Scaring the fuck out of me? Yeah,” the words pop out, like Shane's jittery heart knocks them past his lips without meaning to: “kinda starting to seem that way.”

    -

    A record-breaking blizzard meets the desperate need to see the love your life despite it—should be okay, right? Snow's natural for your husband, he'll be fine.

    (Or not.)

    Summary

    Shane is sitting above the covers on the bed, which they clearly made by pushing the two twin beds together. “This is my roommate, Shane,” says Ilya. Shane looks up from his phone and shakes his head as he blushes, “you’re such an asshole.”

    Ilya says, “Harris asked if beds were made of cardboard.” Ilya gets close to the bed frame and knocks, showing how sturdy it is. “Is not cardboard, very strong. Hard to break.”

    “Ilya,” Shane says in a tone both reprimanding and chirpy.

     

    Or, Ilya takes Harris’s advice and films videos for TikTok while at the Olympic village.

    Summary

    “They wanna ask you to step in!”
    “Step in where?”
    “As a guest co-commentator for the game against the Admirals!”
    “What?” Ilya looked over at Shane again as he parked the car in front of their apartment. Shane was basically jumping up and down in his seat. “They do know I'd shit talk like … all of them? For, like, the entire game?”
    “I think that's kinda the point, babe,” Shane grinned and leaned over to kiss Ilya on the cheek. “You'd be a spectacular hockey commentator!”

    or

    After his retirement Ilya gets the chance to become a co-commentator for a Centaurs vs Admirals game. He shit talks the entire time.
