    Summary

    A rookie's bad hit sends Ilya into the boards during the Boston-Montreal game. Shane's three weeks of broken Russian are barely enough to calm him down, but it's something.

    But when the scans reveal something much worse, Shane and Ilya have to figure out how to be there for each other in ways totally unforeseen.

    Or: nothing like facing mortality for two idiots in love to be honest about how they really feel!

    Summary

    His outstretched glove hangs there, frozen, as the noise of the arena mutates into a ringing buzz. Then he’s moving, pushed away by Marlow, and then Boston’s goalie. There’s a flurry of movement, a trainer with a towel, more blood dripping onto the ice, and he just. Stands there. Staring.

    Ilya is helped off the ice. Shane doesn’t even tap his stick.

    Remember when Sidney Crosby caught a puck with his jaw? That doesn't happen to Shane. That happens to Ilya.
