    Shane had stumbled onto this corner of Archive of Our Own entirely by accident—or at least, that’s the lie he was going to tell his agent, his teammates, and God until his dying day.

    —or—

    When Dallas Kent creates a massive PR disaster, rivals Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov are handed a corporate ultimatum: fake date each other for the cameras, or sit out a season-long suspension. Now trapped in this shitty situation, they have to map out a public "romance strategy," they have a strict no-touching rule behind closed doors. Too bad Shane is currently treating AO3 tags like a hockey drill, and Ilya is losing his mind.

  2. Shane tears his rotator cuff badly enough to need surgery. His parents help at first, but Ilya comes as soon as he can. Shane needs help with everything: dressing, eating, using the bathroom, etc. He's mortified. Ilya is gentle and matter-of-fact and makes sure Shane knows he's still wanted, still desired, even when he can't do anything for himself.

  3. Ilya is certain he's never been so scared in his life. "Relax, babe." Shane's arms wrap around his waist, chin digging into his shoulder blade. Clearly Shane does not share the same concerns as he does. "It's just a fever, she's fine." (Or, alternatively, baby Ilina is sick and Ilya is struggling.)

  4. Ilya snorts from where he's perched at the island, cup of coffee under his nose. "Do you have to yell so loud?" Shane glares at his husband. "Your daughter is not a morning person. So, yes, I do." "She is only my daughter when you do not get along." (or, alternatively, married hollanov with their bundle of sassy joy, Ilina.)
