  2. “Am I too boring for you?” He doesn’t mean to ask. Doesn’t mean for those words to come out. They fall from his lips before he has a chance to stop them, and the second they’re out there he wants to take them back. He wants to swallow them down so they can’t hurt anyone but himself. Because Ilya…Ilya flinches. “What.”

  3. They were waiting for the big goal— learning to walk. That was the one that they were most excited for. The one Shane was eager to see, he was so sure she would do it any day now. Or the one where Sofia walks for the first time

  4. Ilya: You respect my opinion as your captain, yes?

Or: In their many, many group chats, the Centaurs guide (and embarrass) Luca through the crush he's hellbent on denying. (This is a prequel of when Luca and Archie first met/started dating.

  6. Fans and internet passerby alike would agree that this… interaction was not a fight. A fight required the participation of two or more partners. At that moment, Ilya was the only one on the ice. The world fell away at the sight of Shane’s stumble, pulsing gently in and out of frame before cutting out completely and giving way to pure static. His blood turned carbonated, noxious gases inside him that rose and burst him open. At that moment, he and everyone else, including Burt, knew he intended to kill.

    Or, Montreal's newest player makes the mistake of fucking with Ilya Rozanov's Husband.

  7. “Love you,” Shane finally mumbles when he finds his voice. Ilya moves one side of the headphones off of Shane’s ear to reply. “I love you more malysh.” “I’m sorry for this. I know this isn’t how you wanted to spend the evening.” “No moya lyubov, we talked about this. Do not apologize for brain.” “I don’t deserve you.” Or: Shane drives home in a snowstorm, which leaves him shutdown and overstimulated.

  8. Shane has been acting different lately. He can't sleep, no matter how tired he gets. He should be fine. He just finished his first ever season on the Ottawa Centaurs and has been openly married to his husband for almost a year now. He should be fine, right?

    He knows Ilya is starting to notice, but he doesn't know what's wrong with him, so he's just going to pretend nothing is wrong.

    Or, Many years ago, Shane Hollander was assaulted.

  9. “Hollander has a fire lit up under them,” Wiebe agrees, but it isn’t quite enough just yet. They weren’t pushing just to score, they were pushing to widen the gap as much as they could. “He’s fast,” Rozanov taps his temple. “And has very sharp eye for openings. Very smart with his movements,” “I’d be weeping if I had someone like that drafted from my team,” “All I am hearing is that you would make sure Hollander retires in this team,” Wiebe smirks, “Maybe after a Stanley Cup or two,” Shane finally goes toe to toe with Montreal under Ottawa's flag. The rookies are scared shitless, and his old team looks worse for wear. It breaks his heart, but there can only be one who holds the Stanley Cup. It wasn't going to be the Metros.

  10. Plus One Time He Might Have Actually Loved Him "Shane was the love of his life, and Ilya would do anything to keep him by his side forever. Even put up with Hayden Fucking Pike joining the goddamn Ottawa Centaurs." A year after the events of the long game, Hayden Pike joins his best friend on the Ottawa Centaurs roster, much to the chagrin of the captain. Pike might have been created in a lab to annoy Ilya. But, at the end of the day, he was Shane's closest friend. That made him family, however unwillingly.

  11. “Jar!” Hayes calls out from across the room.

    “What? We didn’t even do anything!” Shane insists, rather indignantly.

    “Oh, please. You can’t look at each other like that and call it nothing. I know that look - I have a wife.”

    “So I can’t look at my husband now?” Ilya whines. “This is workplace bullying!”

  12. Me: my sister keeps asking about my love life
    Me: she said "aren't all hockey players supposed to be sluts"

    Or, the world keeps turning, and Luca Haas goes through the motions. Until he doesn't (it might be Ilya’s fault).

  13. [Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander sit on stools in the Centaurs’ locker room. They are wearing each other’s jerseys, and Ilya has a large pink heart painted on his left cheek. Shane has a smattering of silver sparkly heart freckles across his nose.]

    Harris: (off camera) Okay, boys. As the Centaurs’ resident power couple, we’re going to ask you twenty couples questions in honor of our Valentine’s Day game coming up!

    Ilya: Oh, good. Shane loves questions. He has a million for every possible situation. Are you sure you don’t want him to lead the interview? 

    Shane: Fuck you, Rozanov.

    Harris: Glad we got that out of the way early.

  14. The entire time Hayden has known him, and known of him, he has been Ilya Rozanov; violent player and serial womanizer. The media was saying those things about a child, and no one had given a shit, because Ilya had never spoken up for himself. He’d never protested their unfounded claims, and he never tried to prove them wrong, either. Which, now that Hayden knows the things he does, makes perfect fucking sense. or Hayden finds himself unlearning everything he thought he knew about Ilya Rozanov

  15. No one wanted the night to end, so the celebration party had moved from the locker room (where Shane had a few sips of warm beer out of the Cup and three-fourths of a bottle of champagne) to Monk's (where Shane had cold beer and too many jello shots that were in syringes of all things — that was 100 percent Dykstra's fault) to Bood's house (where he ate a few slices of pizza to sober up a little and washed it down with a Ginger Ale that Ilya had somehow acquired from seemingly out of thin air before Ilya and Troy challenged him and Luca to a game of beer pong, which Shane and Luca had lost spectacularly because Luca had no idea how beer bong worked). After the game, Ilya had brushed his fingers along Shane's spine as he ribbed Luca on his poor skills, and Shane's skin burned.

    Suddenly, he was done with the parties.

    —
     

    Or, the story of how Shane and Ilya broke a dresser (and a front door) after they won the Cup.

  16. Shane doesn't learn about it – any of it – until the first February he plays for the Centaurs. February 1st, there's an event in the team's calendar, titled “Mandatory Safety Workshop”.

    Shane is confused, until he sees that the event was created by Ilya, and then he is flummoxed.

    Or Ilya, patron saint of women everywhere, makes sure that his teammates don't forget Valentine's Day.

  17. “Happy Valentine’s Day,” Harris says, holding out a card.

    “Feels wrong to be taking a gift from another man,” Ilya quips, but takes it anyway. “What is this? ILY-a lot.” He stares at the card for a long time, jaw set and brows drawing together, before shaking his head. “I don’t get it.”

    “Read it again, but slower.”

    “ILY-a. Lot.” Ilya pauses, tilting his head and rereading it like the answer might appear if he tries hard enough. “I still don’t get it.”

    Harris opens his mouth to explain—a bit annoyed at the idea of having to walk Ilya through the joke—when Shane steps in from the ice, breathless and a bit sweaty, clearly not paying attention as he fiddles with his gear.

    “Hollander,” Ilya says immediately. “What does ILY mean?”

    Shane blinks. “I love you?”

    “Yes, I know you love me. But what does it mean?”

    or; it’s February 14, and the Ottawa Centaurs’ question of the day comes in the form of custom-made Valentine’s cards for the players (some good, some not so much).

  18. “I want to eat you,” Ilya tells him.

    Shane laughs, loud and bright and carefree, and Ilya feels it blooming inside of his chest like a sunflower. It only makes the desire to consume him grow even stronger. Not in a crazy way (probably), but because he feels like he can never get enough of this man. His Shane. His husband. No amount of time, no amount of closeness, ever feels like it could be enough.

    He wants them both to be eternal, wants to live with their ribcages locked together and their hearts thumping against each other.

  19. Everything was quiet now in the house. It was almost a little too quiet compared to the semi- chaos it had been in not even thirty minutes prior to Shane mustering up all the will power in his body to get both a defiant toddler and a newborn to sleep. Or Shane is so exhausted and Ilya saves the day

  20. “Ilya, you’re playing the Voyageurs next, in Montreal. How are you feeling about that?” An ESPN mic is held to his face.

    Rozanov grins. “Really good. About time. I know we have been winning a lot, but is always the most fun to beat Montreal.”

    “The situation’s kind of changed though, hasn’t it?”

    “Is true.” Rozanov looks almost thoughtful. “It used to be the most fun to beat them because they had the best player on their team. Now…” Rozanov trails off. He chances a look to the side, as if to check if someone’s there or not. “Now is going to be fun because they are very stupid.” Rozanov’s face is very hard. Serious. Angry. Scary.

    Or: Signing with the Montreal Voyageurs should have been the best day in Jordan Bicker’s career. If only it weren’t for Ilya Rozanov…
