The New Plan
Itsallfine
Summary:
“Boys, I appreciate the thought you’ve put into this so far,” Yuna said. “But there’s no way you're hiding this for ten years. It is going to leak. We need an actual reasonable plan for you to come out safely and be happy so you can do this on your own terms and not be miserable.”
--
The ten-year plan was never going to work. Fortunately, thanks to Yuna, Shane and Ilya now have a new and improved plan that could have them safe and happy in just a year or two's time. They just have to want it bad enough.
Ottawa a year early. Support from friends and family. Therapy. Rebranded images. A more confident and secure Shane. A public friendship hard launch. A relationship soft launch.
There's a lot to do. It's time to put in the work.
Notes:
Look, maybe I’ve hockeyed too close to the sun, but at this point I’ve learned so much about trades and free agency and shit that I thought of the option described in this fic and went “huh… wonder why they didn’t do that.” So I did it. Shoutout to Threads user alicenfetland for the very informative hockey deep dives.
I am not an immigration lawyer. The path described here seems right according to my research, but please don’t take it as advice.
The PWHL didn’t exist until 2023 (it would have been the NWHL at this time) but I’ve basically picked up the current league including players and plopped it several years early so I can use their excellent examples of currently active queer couples and slyly promote them to y’all. Support women’s hockey!
Only this first chapter is all Yuna's POV. We'll be back with Shane and Ilya for most of the rest!
