  4. Before Felix could remove his headphones, he heard it. Heavy, borderline panicked breaths. Felix realized that it must be Hollander. His mic was not turned off when he left the interview. Footsteps. And then a door opening and closing. They had filmed the interview that morning at the offices of the Irina Foundation. It sounded like maybe he had gone into his office.

    “Hey, what is it? What is wrong?” Another voice. Unmistakable anywhere. Even if Felix hadn’t spent weeks now listening to it, he would still have recognized Ilya Rozanov’s voice.

    –

So he approaches Shane and Ilya about filming them over the course of the 2020/2021 season to create an honest documentary that tells the true story of their lives. Canon-divergent AU set during The Long Game.

  6. June 2016

    Shane hefts the Stanley Cup over his head for a second time, a numb joy settling over him.

    The partners and families of the Voyageurs flood down to the ice in a rush. His parents have come down, visibly proud.

    And yet this year, it somehow feels a little worse, because Ilya wasn't next to them, cheering in a HOLLANDER jersey.

    After coming out as friends and revealing the figure skating rivalry in their families, Shane and Ilya must face the challenges of the coming years, while Yuuri and Yuri face dilemmas of their own...

    In which I ask the question: What if Shane and Ilya went to the Quebec Nordiques?

    A direct sequel to brátishka, featuring social media, texting, emails, and a whole lot of canon divergence.
