    Summary

    Nothing feels right or good. Not the weight of his pads or the glide of his skates over fresh ice. Not the crispness of the rink air or the roar of a sold out Montreal crowd. Not his teammates’ triumphant shouts when he sinks a goal or cool water in his throat after a hard workout or well wishing texts from his parents before every game. It’s all just… faded.

    Grey.

    Empty.

    Shane doesn’t know how to bring color back into his life. Not when he leeched it out himself with every step he took away from the only person who has ever truly, honestly seen him.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    This is DELICIOUS angst and excellent h/c. A careful and patient Ilya with a wounded Shane is my ultimate catnip. Wip at 13/20, read to chapter 12.

    Summary

    Shane tries to remember, peering into the darkness surrounding the car with a furrowed brow. It hurts to move, and he feels something warm and slick sliding down his cheek.

    More blood, his mind supplies rather unhelpfully.

    He was driving after dark, but he shouldn’t have been. He wasn’t supposed to be. They had all night together, so why is he here?

    I already chose you, Hollander.

    Shane inhales sharply as his mind slowly fills in the gaps in his memory. They fought. Ilya told him to leave. Shane did.

    And then he crashed.

    Summary

    "Someone did this to me."

    Ilya can only nod, knowing that there's not much else to say. What comfort can he offer, when he can only imagine the turmoil that Shane must feel?

    "You're safe now," he offers, hoping that it can offer some measure of solace.

    Shane's eyes flit back to him, wide and swallowed up by a tangle of emotions.

    "I always was," he says, his voice hushed. "You were there."

    Shane is drugged by heat inducers at the club, and Ilya is there to help him through it.
