    Hayden hated what he was about to say, but he drew up his shoulders and stood up a little straighter. “Alright, so… look… Roz is a horny guy, I’ll give you that.” He and J.J. grimaced at each other. “And sure, he has just as much opportunity to sleep around as he did before they got together, but he doesn’t want to.” J.J. took a breath to argue, and Hayden held up a hand. “That man has taken all that… libido… desire… whatever you want to call it, that he had in his manwhore phase and turned it onto Shane. Only Shane.” He shrugged. “It’s kinda sweet once you get used to it… so long as you don’t sneak up on them.”

    When the time came for J.J. to meet Shane's boyfriend, Ilya (rather than the menace on the ice, Rozanov), Hayden agreed to mediate. He just hoped he could keep J.J. from making the same mistakes he did and alienating Shane in the process.

  4. "I'm sort of waiting for the other shoe to drop.”

    Ilya’s brow furrows and his eye squints the way it does when he's parsing his mental English phrasebook to determine what someone is saying.

    “Waiting for… bad thing to happen, yes?”

    Shane smiles sadly but nods, “Yeah, exactly.”

    “Well, first shoe is pretty great. Wonderful shoe, even. I've never seen a more special or important shoe in my life,” Ilya gushes.

    As the Centaurs go on their road trip without Shane, Shane has to face down Roger Crowell alone.

  8. “Scott Hunter is next door, yes?”

    “No way we're asking him for help. What would we even say? Hey Hunter, we were just fucking each other next door, and I broke my leg, and by the way, we think you're gay, so wanna help us?”

    Or

    Ilya and Shane just spent a great night together after the All-Star Game. Life is good.

    Until Shane trips and breaks his leg, and they have to figure out what to do so he isn't found in his biggest rival's hotel room at 2 am.

  10. Yuna's hand meets Ilya’s. The rivalry status that the league had painted over her son's relationship with the Russian now cast aside. They clutch to each other in silent acknowledgement of their shared pain, hope and fear in what had just manifested before their eyes. There's a uniting force in pain and grief—It's one that wipes slates clean, makes you forgive, makes you love harder and appreciate more than you ever thought possible. Everything she ever knew or felt about the Russian whose hand she now clung to was dissolved Shane Hollander briefly dies on the Ice after the hit from Marlow in the Montreal vs Boston Game. Ilya handles his emotions poorly and has a very public meltdown revealing their relationship to the world.

  14. Shane Hollander’s life revolves around hockey to an almost concerning degree. The assumption by pretty much everyone who knows him is that Shane therefore has no time for love. Then they meet Liliya Rozanova, Russia’s darling figure skater and Hollander’s apparently long-time girlfriend. There’s something about this situation that isn’t quite right.

    or - five times Shane introduces people his girlfriend, Liliya Rozanova, and the one time that everybody is introduced to Ilya Rozanov, his long-term boyfriend.

  15. Following the internet success of Shane and Ilya's presentation at the NHL Awards, ESPN decided to contract with them to do a whole series. It goes far better than anyone could have dreamed.

    Hockey Is For Everyone @Hockey4EveryoneOrg
    What a surprise! We've just spotted a very familiar car to dedicated #Metros fans in the parking lot at #PlaceBell where one of our #TRANScendingTheCloset camps is held... 👀

    [picture attached: A black minivan with black-tinted windows is parking in one of the reserved spaces in a parking lot. The background shows "Place Bell" on a hockey rink, and the back of the car features a stylised decal of a hockey stick, two Stanely Cups, several gems, a sword in a stone, and a casino chip.]

  17. The 21-22 regular season commences: Montreal gets checked left and right while the rest of the league faces a shiny new Ottawa Centaurs. Spoiler: Montreal doesn't get what they want out of Ottawa.

    OR

  18. Ilya had always known his relationship with Hollander wouldn’t end well. 

    But even though he had been bracing himself for years, Ilya hadn’t been ready for when it all blew up in his face. 

    And he certainly hadn’t been ready for Shane’s best friend to be the detonator.

    OR: Ilya is shocked and terrified when Hayden Pike walks in on him and Shane and reacts with violence. It’s not as bad as it seems.

  19. Shane has a bad feeling about this year's All Stars weekend.

    All Stars usually doesn't stress him out this much, not anymore. It's being held in St. Louis this year, which isn't ideal, but it's fine. It already got delayed into March, which has never happened before, but surely that's fine too. The timing is pushing uncomfortably close to playoffs, but it'll be fine. It's just a weekend. Everything will be fine.

    That's what he tells himself, anyway, as he stares at the news on the TV playing in his terminal waiting area. The anchors drone on and on in front of hospitals and government buildings. Text crawls menacingly across the bottom of the screen. Numbers keep catching his eye like brambles snagging in fabric. And over and over and over, that terrifying word keeps popping up.

    Pandemic.

    or: what if lockdown happened during the all stars weekend?

  20. The elevator was full. Too many people were packed in like sardines, and their suitcases just made the squeeze even more unbearable. JJ didn’t feel the need to add to it. He was six-foot-five and as wide as a brick wall. He didn’t want to be packed in there any more than they wanted to share the space with him.

    He decided to take the stairs.

    OR

    JJ takes the stairs at the exact wrong time and overhears The Phone Call™️ from Moscow. He, in canon typical fashion, does not take this well.
