    Summary

    Ilya can’t be so separate from it all anymore, can’t get by on hotel room visits and brief phone calls when they’re in different time zones. It isn’t enough. Not anymore. Not when every iteration of the future they could have waiting for them one day had collapsed in on itself when Shane hit the ice.

    Ty moya zhizn', his mother used to tell him. But it isn’t quite enough in this sense, Ilya decides. He looks at Shane, at Emi, and he thinks instead: Ty moya prodolzhenie.

    Not just you are my life, but you are my future.

    Summary

    Shane's eyes squeeze closed again. “We had reason to put rules in place. Protocol. If ever—if it got to a place where, if he was ever feeling like he might—"

    Hayden’s body understands before his mind catches up. His blood runs cold for a second, stuck on the scrunch of Shane’s face, the clench of his fist, how desperate he’d been to see Rozanov—Ilya—just now. To make sure that he was okay. Here, in person.

    Not hurt. Alive.

    “Oh,” Hayden hears himself say distantly. “Oh, fuck, Shane.”

    --

    or, Ilya needs a place to go, and Hayden's happens to be the closest. It turns out to be a good thing.

    Summary

    Dialogue prompt: "Look me in the eyes when you lie like that."

    -🏒-

    It’s a nothing interview. Pre-game in Montreal before they warm up for the game against Boston. One camera, one reporter Shane recognises but doesn’t really know. The question’s about a Russian rookie adjusting to the league. Shane answers in English at first. Then the reporter follows up, in Russian.

    The NHL translator shifts instinctively, already stepping closer.

    Shane doesn’t pause. He answers back in Russian before the translator can open his mouth, quick and clean, accent careful but confident. Just a sentence. Then another. The translator hesitates, then stops entirely, hands dropping like he’s been waved off without a word.

    Shane switches back to English like it didn’t happen.

    The reporter freezes. The camera freezes. Fans online detonate.
