  1. Things like this didn't happen to other people; Shane knew that. He’d been alive long enough to experience the confused glances and exasperated scoffs that always accompanied his discomfort with things other people didn't even notice. He would not fuck this up – not because he couldn't handle the way the sheets touched his skin. The burning of his skin spread to his eyes as his vision blurred. He squeezed his eyes shut and scrubbed his hands over his face. He would not cry. The tears fell hot and silent. They pooled at the curve of his jaw and around his chin, puddles of shame and self-contempt. Fucking breathe, he told himself, as he turned the faucet of the shower as far as it could go. He stood watching the water pool around his feet and slip down the drain until he heard Ilya stir. At first, he wasn't sure if he had really heard his name. “Shane?… Shane?” He wanted to yell back, assure Ilya everything was fine, but when he opened his mouth, only a squeak escaped. “Moya lyubov?” He cleared his throat and tried again: “In here.”

    Shane and Ilya's first photoshoot post-coming out. It goes as well as you'd expect it to. ___ Then Ilya whispers, right into the shell of his ear, “Now we look like penguins.” And it’s not at all what he expected to hear. He makes a strangled sound, his hands flying down to cover Ilya’s own on his waist. “What?” Ilya rocks them side to side, small and deliberate, like they’re waddling. “Penguins are romantic. They mate for life. You are my penguin.”

  5. “I could marry Svetlana.” Ilya says it the way he does in real life. Loose. Half-amused. Like he’s commenting on the weather or the merits of a toaster. "And I could have a gun. What's new?" Shane thinks. Shane can't hide the hurt in his eyes as he meets Ilya's gaze, calm and collected. "She's American, it would be easy citizenship," he pauses, typing on his phone absentmindedly. "She would do it. Her father is goalie Sergei Vitrov." Shane scoffs, "Yeah, you've told me." "She would help me..." Ilya says in a singsong tone. or; what if Shane never says "Don't Marry Svetlana" and dreams about it? Inspired by the song "Dream Cheater" by Precious Pepala

  7. He only realizes he’s doing it when it’s too late to stop. He’s standing in the drink aisle of the grocery store, checking the expiration dates on the cans of Coke, mentally cross-checking them with Boston’s away game schedule, and the reality hits him like someone shook one of those cans and popped it open. A snap. A fizz. A mess. Shane is making space for Ilya. (or, lessons in budget-friendly shopping, home decor, and resisting the urge to neatly combine all your situationship’s shit into a drawer in your bedroom because you might be falling in love with him: a seven-ish step guide by shane hollander, who is so, so fucked)

  8. “Maybe he has a crush on you or something,” Hayden said when he first noticed Ilya’s interest in his best friend. “Jesus,” Shane responded. “What? Isn’t he bi?” “I have no idea,” Shane said, even though he knows. Ilya is charming; his sex appeal is off the roof (even he, Shane Hollander, can admit that), and Ilya constantly flirts with people- both guys and girls. That’s why the concept of Ilya Rozanov taking an interest in him is out of question; the guy is a legend on and off the ice -- Or, the College/University AU where Ilya is the captain of the hockey team, who may or may not have a crush on Shane Hollander.

  10. “You kept them?" An innocent, curious question sparks a fun, carefree conversation between Shane and Ilya, and maybe Ilya's a little sappier than he'd thought. No matter.
