    Summary

    “Can you believe it? How the hell did he end up bagging her?” 

    Ilya stared, brain not comprehending what his body already seemed to, that Hollander was dating-

    “Rose fuckin’ Landry! How does the lamest guy in the League-”

    He knew that smile. He thought it was for him, just for him. But it wasn't. 

    “No,” he whispered. His stomach spasmed. 

    “You good, Roz?”

    Why would he- How could he- 

    They were holding hands…

    “Rozanov? What the fuck?”

    He jumped up from the table and stumbled for the front door, just barely making it through before the first mass of petals came up. He heaved as he ran, trying desperately to get away from the pavement, somewhere he could hide what was happening. 

    Unfortunately, his teammates had followed, because of course they would. He saw a photo of Shane Hollander holding hands with a movie star and promptly threw up.

    Who wouldn't be curious?

    Summary

    When Shane collides with Cliff Marlow during the Montreal vs Boston game in April of 2017, Ilya has to get through the evening not knowing how he's doing. He eventually confides in his roommate Cliff, who subsequently invites himself onto Ilya's trip to the hospital the next morning.

     

    “Ask,” Ilya said flatly, trying not to admit to himself that he probably knew what he was about to be asked.

    “What is your relationship with Shane Hollander?” Marlow asked. 

    He didn’t ask ‘are you and Shane Hollander in a relationship?’. If he asked that, Ilya might have laughed and told him everything. As it was, he considered lying. He was pretty sure that at this point, Marlow would believe whatever Ilya told him. It was apparently clear to Marlow that something was different about Shane and Ilya, so if Ilya told him they were friends and that Shane had been reaching out to him about his father, Marlow would believe him. It technically wasn’t untrue.

    It also wasn’t covering the part where they’d been fucking since they were nineteen years old.

    Summary

    Maybe if the video ended there, Shane thought, it would be okay. Okayish. Still incriminating. Still a fucking disaster. Still embarrassing, to have his breakup with this beautiful actress filmed and disseminated on Reddit of all fucking places, but not a nail in his coffin, burying him alive. But the video didn’t end there.

    “Can I ask if you’ve ever been with another guy?” she had to ask.

    And he, tears visible in his eyes, had to nod.

    Just once. Just a single nod.

    Why did he have to nod?

    “Have you ever told anyone that before?” He shook his head. “Was it different? With a guy?”

    “Of course.”

    Of course.

    “Was it better?”

    “Yes.”

    +++

    Shane’s conversation with Rose is secretly recorded. Months later, after the All-Star game and Ilya’s confession in Russian, the video gets leaked online. Shane is outed to the world while Ilya is in Russia, and must now finish the 2016-2017 season with the entire world in on his secret.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Okay my previous bookmark was deleted for some reason but I ADORE this series. It far surpasses the canon for TLG. The writing is great, the characterizations are strong, the way the plot unfolds is so so right for really teasing out what the characters struggle with/where they need to go. I can't recommend it enough.
