    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander think they’re being subtle.

    They are not.

    A series of outsider POVs (from taxi drivers to hot dog vendors) who all, independently, come to the same conclusion.

    Update: All the chapters are independant so I will add some chapters when I have new ideas!

    Summary

    Shane does not know what he is staring at when he reads the name of the chat and the influx of texts.

    This looks like actual hell, and more importantly why on earth would Ilya ad him to the Boston WAGS chat?

    TLDR: In an attempt to socialise in this new country Ilya puts 'jane' down as his WAG to connect to the team, this has unforeseen consequences for himself.

    Summary

    “I’m…. I don’t think I am a man,” Shane breathed before clarifying, “no, that’s- I’m not a man. Nor have I ever really…felt like one.”

    Shane sighed a breath he wasn’t aware he had been holding. That was the first time he had ever admitted that to himself, not even daring to think of it. He could hear his heartbeat pumping fast; if he hadn’t been so occupied watching Ilya's reaction, he would have been worried about passing out.

    He watched as Ilya’s baby-blue eyes widened and jaw dropped slightly. He blinked a few times before breathing in and nodding.

    “Okay,” Ilya said after a moment, in a voice so gentle even he didn’t know his vocal cords could make, he walked slowly over to Shane until he was close enough to touch his nose with his own, “that’s okay, that is completely okay.”

     

    Shane realizes after coming out to his parents that something isn't right, and that nothing has ever felt right.

    Summary

    “You are still you, yes?” Ilya repeated. “You are still slow hockey player with pretty freckles, yes?” It was a weak attempt at a joke, so Ilya shook it away and tried again. “You are still Shane, same person, same brain, yes?”

    Shane blinked up at him, thinking. Then, nodding slowly. “Mostly. Yeah. I don’t know about a name or anything yet, but—. Yeah. I’m still me.”

    “Then it does not matter.”

    CHAPTER 6

    HALL OF FAME FICS

    Summary

    When the unsentimental financial imperative of the NHL sees Shane traded to the Boston Raiders, he and Ilya are thrown into closer extended proximity than ever before. As they adjust to life as teammates, they are forced to contend with the nature of their relationship -and must answer for themselves: is it even a relationship at all?
    ____

    Sliding down the wall, Shane hunched over his untied sneakers, shoved on hastily when Coach had called him in for a meeting after morning skate.

    “Boston wanted you specifically. I’ve already spoken to their GM. You’re flying this evening or tomorrow morning: I’ll confirm once the paperwork clears.”

    “Mom,” Shane managed.

    “Oh sweetie. I know, okay. Those fuckers, how dare they do this! Two fucking cups! Now all of a sudden they decide they want a reset and you’re going to fund it.”

    Shane put his head between his knees and tried to breathe. God, Boston. They hated him there; it was so far away; he was fucking their captain.
