In part one of this series, Language Barrier, Shane and Ilya met in Russia the summer before their rookie year, when Shane was tutoring English at a summer hockey camp. They fell hard and came into the draft with full intentions of continuing to hook up at every opportunity.
This story picks up where Language Barrier left off. Ilya's in America now, and the hockey world knows they're friends, not rivals. But there's still a gaping chasm between what they want, and what they're allowed. They're in their rookie years and trying to juggle this secret desperate lust of theirs while doing this incredibly difficult thing, miles apart, and Ilya is no longer in his familiar milieu, and that shit is HARD, y'all.
Luckily for the boys, the author is very much on their side.

“Has your flu gone away?” Troy draws back up, brushing Harris’s bangs gently to the side. His skin is warm, but not hot, and it doesn’t feel like he has a fever from what Troy can tell, but he wants to make sure. “Mmm, well, it turns out it wasn’t the flu.” “No? What was it?” A smile splits across Harris’s face as he reaches into the pocket of his hoodie, drawing out a thin, white object, passing it to Troy. “See for yourself.”

“Don’t laugh,” Scott repeats and then – he’s gone. His clothes collapse in on themselves in a heap on the couch, suddenly no human inside them anymore, and Kip has a little moment of panic. What if Scott turned into something really small? What if he can’t find him and accidentally sits on him and crushes him –
The pile of clothes moves and a little head pops up through the collar of Scott’s t-shirt. Shiny brown fur, big dark eyes, and large floppy ears.

The TV is on, showing the Admirals game, but there’s no answer from Scott, and when Kip rounds the corner by the shelving unit that separates the foyer from the living area, he can see why: Scott, in his bunny form, is sitting on the carpet, eating hay out of a small bowl.
“Oh,” Kip breathes quietly as he realizes what must have happened. “Oh, sweetheart.”

Svetlana was going to love Shane. She could tell immediately. She had never in her life believed in love at first sight, but she considered herself a good judge of character, and she had strong opinions on basically everything. Very rarely was her first impression wrong, and her first impression of Shane Hollander told her that he was going to be very, very important to her in the not-so-distant future.
--
Svetlana learns that Jane is Shane Hollander at the start of the 2017-2018 hockey season. She immediately decides that she and Shane are going to be friends. After all, Ilya is her best friend, and Shane is love of her best friend's life; it just makes sense to be his friend, too. She's pretty sure that's how it works.
Over the following years, she gets a few opportunities to solidify that friendship, and help both Shane and Ilya feel a little less lonely.
Or: The events of the Long Game, with Show!Svetlana meddling just a little.

Scott knew fuck all about figure skating, but he knew this: Kip Grady flew across the ice. No one on the Admirals would beat him in a puck race. He turned sideways, clearly staging for a move, and then he jumped, revolving weightlessly through the air, before landing on a single silver blade. Scott was close enough to hear the scraping sound of it before the breathless gasp of the audience resolved into cheering. Beside Scott, Carter called out, “Woo, yeah!”

Kip lets his arms drop to his sides after a while and Scott pulls back enough to look at him. He's beautifully flushed, eyes still a little unfocused and his smile bright and happy. He puts a hand to Scott's cheek, looking back at him with so much love.
"I'm gonna marry you."
"Yeah," Scott replies, suddenly breathless. "Yes, you are."

Ilya suddenly cleared his throat, squared his shoulders, lifted his chin with a strange expression and began reciting poetry in Russian.
Shane's jaw dropped.
“...anyway, he cut his wrists, wrote this poem with his blood, and hanged himself. What?”
Shane closed his mouth, shook his head, and finally said,
“When I came here, I expected a lot of things. I don't know that you'd make me drink litres of vodka or something like that. But not poetry in a cemetery, I admit, I didn't see it coming.”

Shane inhales, the air stinging as it scores down his throat. He can hear the rattle of his balcony door as his dad reenters the room, his parents' hushed conversation, muffled by the frantic prey-animal thunder of his heart.
He's so fucking stupid.
Even now, as he tries to figure out what to say, words pool on his tongue, ones that he knows he won't actually be able to voice. The familiar, flat-toned voice from the monthly DOMU videos rings through his ear, perfectly neutral as his brain reminds him that the longer time arcana has to work in the body, the less of a chance you have resisting it.
OR: The Might of Montreal lingers in the gaps as Shane struggles to come to terms with everything he's discovered.

“Ilya?” his voice is thick and heavy on his tongue. He's so agonizingly beautiful, his face tender and red from the impact of his helmet hitting the ice moments before. “I’m okay,” he insists, blinking slowly.
And then, starting at his fingertips, Shane starts to fade away, just like St-Simon and Marlow and Pike moments before. Eyes soft, Shane gazes at Ilya, not seeming to realize what’s happening at all. And Ilya, overcome with terror, can only watch as Shane’s whole being simply disintegrates into thin air.
__
Half the universe is snapped out of existence, including Shane.
Ilya struggles to cope.Or, a character study on grief, ending with reunion.
