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?

In a world where homophobia and queer fear doesn't exist, in a world where love can happen out in the open for anyone and everyone, Shane Hollander is still stubbornly single. As the Captain of the Montreal Voyageurs, he insists he's too focused on hockey and his career for a relationship, when in reality, old fears of being seen as "the hockey weirdo" keep him from unmasking. That is, until Ilya Rozanov enters his life. The newly single Captain of the Ottawa Centaurs, after a decade-long relationship ends amicably, is now interested in the one man who won't give him the time of day. So when Shane, while on National Television, tells Ilya he'll have to "impress him" to earn that first date, Ilya takes it as the greatest challenge of his life. What follows is a whirlwind of grand romantic gestures, public flirting, chirping (flirting) on the ice, social media ploys and and ever escalating spectacle. All while the NHL, their friends, their family, their teams, and fans across the continent watch, cheer, and place bets on when Shane will finally say yes.

“What is the League saying?” Shane asks. He’s almost scared to find out, but they need to know what they’re dealing with here.
“They want you back, obviously. They don’t know why Rozanov hasn’t made any demands yet-”
And it’s ridiculous and so, so like his Mom to be disappointed in someone for being inefficient at kidnapping her son.
“I am thinking about it!” Ilya protests. “Has been only two hours!”

Marlow’s eyebrows rose briefly. He’d known that Roz and Montreal Girl had that thing for A While now, but this didn’t seem to be a very casual ‘hooking up whenever we’re in the same city’.
A tinge of guilt sparked in him about invading his Captain’s privacy but then, Jane seemed really worried. And she’s important to Roz, evidently, so he would probably want her to know he’s okay, right?
OR
Ilya gets injured during a game and Marlow follows him to the hospital. He texts a very worried Jane who promises she'll be there soon. The last person Marlow expected to show up in the waiting room is Shane Hollander.

Shane glanced at his fox, Akane. Still between Rozanov’s legs.
Dark eyes staring back at him. Akane didn’t have dark eyes. She had hazel eyes, brilliant, multifaceted gems that glimmered playfully in even the dimmest light.
That was Rozanov’s daemon. Of course it was.
Rozanov’s daemon was identical to Shane’s. The same body shape. The same small white diamond above the nose. The same deeper red blaze along the spine. But he still should’ve been able to tell it wasn’t Akane.
Who can’t recognize their own daemon?

Shane watches Ilya shove a hand through his hair, waits for him to meet his eyes. “You pretend to want things, pretend I can have things that we both know you won’t let me have,” he says, his newfound self-esteem carrying him past the point of no return. He wishes he’d never discovered it, because it’s making Ilya’s face do something awful.
“Oh, you mean I hurt your feelings?”
Close enough, Shane supposes, his chest aching again. He goes to lift his hand again, sees Ilya zero in on the movement, doesn’t. “I guess so.”
Ilya scoffs, mean and sharp. “So sorry, Hollander, I didn’t mean to make you get so emotional about a casual fuck.”
Asshole. So many times he has lobbed the word at Ilya in exasperation, reluctant affection and disbelief, but now he thinks it with vitriolic anger. “I think you should go.”Shane finally decides that Ilya's ability to weaponise sex isn't enough for him anymore. Ilya doesn't take it well, but Shane holds firm. Then they start to text about it. Sort of.

“What? Hollander too scared to face me?” Ilya chirps, because if he goes another minute without at least mentioning the man that has been consuming his every thought for two weeks he might go insane. He needs someone else to acknowledge his existence, his absence, to fucking tell him what’s going on so he can finally get it off his mind. It’s just a stupid mystery. That’s why it bugs him.
And then Hayden Pike looks up. Dark bruised circles under his eyes, face pale like a sheet, eyes red rimmed and puffy like he has been crying all day. The face of a man mourning.
Ilya feels like the ice might crack under him. Something’s wrong with Shane.
