    Summary

    “Hollander?!” Rozanov exclaims, carefully dropping him back down.

    Shane doubles over, gasping and wheezing, hands clutching his ribs for dear life.

    “You’re fucking hurt,” Rozanov realizes, wide-eyed.

     

    (or, shane hides an injury in an attempt not to ruin his hookup with ilya)

    Summary

    It all began with a strange feeling.

    It wasn’t something intense, but enough for Shane to notice something was off. His eyes were moving faster than his brain, and Pike’s face looked…weird. Like, he could see it, but it was a little too soft around the edges.

    “You good, dude?”

    Shane snapped out of his thoughts. They were in the locker room, and while it had previously been filled with loud chatter and booming pregame music, he suddenly found that it was silent, besides a weird, distant buzzing in his ears. Hayden Pike was locking eyes with him, awaiting a response. Shane swallowed. Guess he had to say something now.

    “You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”

    “Huh? Oh, uh, hm.” Shane just hums. “I’m good. Zoned out for a sec.” He says plainly, because it wasn’t untrue.

    -

    Shane Hollander gets a migraine for the first time on the ice. Ilya Rozanov is worried.

    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

    There’s a brief thought of how easy his smiles are when he’s with Ilya, but it’s quickly replaced by something he’s been trying not to think of for the past few hours.

    There’ll be a knife missing from the kitchen when Ilya gets home.

    Or;

    A regret, and the healing that follows.

    Please be extra mindful of the tags lovelies!!!

    Summary

    Shane Hollander has a 487-game ironman streak. He doesn't miss games. He doesn't miss practices. He doesn't lie to the people he loves.

    Then a hit takes everything, and a small white pill gives it back. Gives back the ability to exist without wanting to crawl out of his own skin. The ability to pick up the phone when Ilya calls and sound like a person.

    The first pill is prescribed. The second is justified. The tenth is necessary. The ones after that are none of your business.

    He's not an addict.

    He's managing.
