    Summary

    Shane will remember this smell, he knows. He catalogues it too carefully to believe any different.

    In his brain, the drawer with special scents is: Yuna’s perfume, the smell of the first spring day, petrichor, the way the pines around their cottage smell at the height of summer, a campfire about to go out as his family sits around it, the first bubble-gum he ever chewed, the strawberry-scented condom he once opened just to see what it looked like, his hair gel, and then, at the very back of it, Ilya Rozanov’s cigarette.

    or: the five times Shane Hollander wants to let Ilya Rozanov go, but can't.

    Summary

    By the time the main course is halfway gone, pretending is no longer an option. Scott leans forward, eyes sharp with curiosity. “Okay. No. I’m sorry. I refuse to believe you two managed to hide this without someone figuring it out.”

    “Troy figured it out,” Ilya says casually, taking a sip of wine.

    Troy lifts his glass. “I had a strong suspicion.”

    “You never said anything,” Harris accuses, half-laughing, half-offended.

    Troy shrugs. “It’s not like I wanted to out them.”

    --------------------------------

    Or, Ilya and Shane host Scott, Kip, Troy, and Harris over dinner at the cottage. Set post *THAT* video, so everyone knows about them already. And they want answers though.

    Summary

    It was all Harris' idea, and he'd expected to be fully shut down, given how private Shane and Ilya had been about their wedding and relationship. But they finally had the chance to be open, and set the record straight in a clear way that didn't name any names, that the Montreal Metros had never played with a Shane Hollander who hadn't been in love with Ilya Rozanov.

    (A vaguely spiritual successor to my fic 20 Questions, though this time canon compliant)

    Summary

    Ilya said the words, and Shane stilled. He had been clueless for the whole monologue, and yet, right at the end, understanding crushed over him… 'I love you'.

    -

    or: Months before the Moscow phone call, Shane learned how to say 'I love you' in russian. And somehow, it changed everything.
