  3. After Vegas, Shane begins to give up on Ilya and looks for a new way to feel wanted.

    “What is the League saying?” Shane asks. He’s almost scared to find out, but they need to know what they’re dealing with here.

    “They want you back, obviously. They don’t know why Rozanov hasn’t made any demands yet-”

    And it’s ridiculous and so, so like his Mom to be disappointed in someone for being inefficient at kidnapping her son.

    “I am thinking about it!” Ilya protests. “Has been only two hours!”

  5. Invitation to team Canada's hockey camp before the winter Olympic games 2018 cannot come at a better time for Cliff Marleau. A break from the explosive atmosphere in Boston. From a captain with something to hide and even more to prove.
    Playing with the stoic Montreal captain Hollander for a while sounds like a fucking holiday to Marleau. Except something must have shifted in Montreal too, because on second look, Hollander seems anything but stoic.

    OR

    It's Ilya's last year in Boston. With Shane, they have a secret and a plan. The secret cannot handle Cliff Marleau getting to know Shane and recognising too much of Ilya in him.

  6. Shane watches Ilya shove a hand through his hair, waits for him to meet his eyes. “You pretend to want things, pretend I can have things that we both know you won’t let me have,” he says, his newfound self-esteem carrying him past the point of no return. He wishes he’d never discovered it, because it’s making Ilya’s face do something awful.

    “Oh, you mean I hurt your feelings?”

    Close enough, Shane supposes, his chest aching again. He goes to lift his hand again, sees Ilya zero in on the movement, doesn’t. “I guess so.”

    Ilya scoffs, mean and sharp. “So sorry, Hollander, I didn’t mean to make you get so emotional about a casual fuck.”
    Asshole. So many times he has lobbed the word at Ilya in exasperation, reluctant affection and disbelief, but now he thinks it with vitriolic anger. “I think you should go.”

    Shane finally decides that Ilya's ability to weaponise sex isn't enough for him anymore. Ilya doesn't take it well, but Shane holds firm. Then they start to text about it. Sort of.

  7. “Wait, I could totally see that,” Connors says. “She wears reading glasses and he’s, like, obsessed with them. Sometimes on the road, he calls her from the bathroom and I hear him begging her to put them on.” “The glasses! I heard that too.” Shit, it must be a fetish, right? She doesn’t just happen to be old. Rozy likes that she’s old. Or: Cliff figures out why Ilya’s keeping his Montreal girl a secret. She’s not a girl at all...she's an elderly woman. Or maybe an elderly man?

  8. Cliff isn’t proud of it, but his first thought when he sees the video is that he knew Roz was going to be involved in some kind of sex scandal one day. He always kind of assumed there was a sex tape out there somewhere, that would end up spreading like wildfire.

    It’s just that the scandal in Cliff’s mind involved something more like the adulterous wife of a Voyageur, and less like the anonymous dick of some guy in a club bathroom.

    So, point to Roz, he guesses, for still managing to surprise him after all these years.

  9. It's not the worst thing Cliff's ever done, by far, but he wouldn't exactly say he's proud of it either. It's surprisingly easy to get the number from Roz's phone, despite it being practically glued to his hand all the time. But 8 shots and 3 beers will do that to a man, Cliff supposes - even a Russian one. He's doing this for Roz, and for the team. Sure, the boys had probably been joking when they'd mentioned going "straight to source" to solve The Montreal Jane Problem, but the last 6 weeks had been frankly unbearable. He wasn't sure what exactly Roz had done, but it had to be fixable. They'd been texting for years, for christ's sake. Undoubtedly messy and unconventional, but clearly this Jane was way more important than Roz was willing to admit. Maybe even to himself. Maybe that was the problem. _________________ (Or, Cliff starts texting "Jane" before the 2017 All Star Game, and things sort of go from there.)

  10. “Did Boston Lily send you all these flowers? Shane??” Hayden asks.

    “Um,” Shane says helpfully.

    ——

    Or, Shane gets hurt in the Boston vs. Montreal game. Ilya crashes out and buys all the lilies in Boston for him.

    No one knows about them.

    Except for Ilya’s new florist, who never asked to get involved in dumb hockey boys and their messy drama. Also, Cliff is a good friend.

    Alright. Okay. He’s doing this. If he thinks about it, there could be worse places to come out than in a room full of people ready to scold him for a perceived use of a slur.

    It's all Marly's fault.

    He just had to mention 'Jane from Montreal' during an interview. And then JJ went and tweeted about 'Boston Lily'.

    And sure, Shane and Ilya are out and married now, but there are some things they had managed to keep private, their burner twitter accounts for one. But with the names Jane and Lily out there and their apparent 'very recognizable talking patterns' it took the internet 0.5 seconds to find them. And now Shane and Ilya have to deal with their friends publicly reacting to things they thought would forever remain anonymous.

    Surprising everyone, Ilya is the one suffering the most.

    Or.

    The Admirals, Metros and Raiders react to Hollanov burner accounts tweets.

  16. Ilya Rozanov returns from the 2017 All Stars different from how he left for them.

    Then his father dies, and he takes the call in their locker room after a game, and Cliff Marleau sees more than people think.

    And then Shane Hollander goes down, and Ilya Rozanov fucking loses it - not to the untrained eye, no, but Cliff Marleau has lived out of the locker next to this kid for the past seven years.

    He’s also not a fucking idiot.

  17. "I'm calling it 'Adopt a Stray,'" Cliff announced, pacing the rug. "Tomorrow night. Boston vs. Montreal. We announce a new 'tradition.' We say that Boston has noticed that not every team is as close as ours. We say we’re looking for 'strays'—players who aren’t really accepted by their team, always seem an outcast, that need a little extra team bonding or whatever. And the first 'stray' we’re adopting? Is Shane Hollander."

  18. “So,” Cliff starts. “Ottawa.”

    “Ottawa,” Roz repeats, and the way he says it, half-amused, half-quizzical, gives Cliff nothing.

    “It’s not Montreal.”

    Roz looks offended. “Why would I go to fucking Montreal?”

    Cliff shrugs, going for casual. “Montreal Girl? I thought, you know, if you ever go to Canada…”

    Roz scoffs. “You and Montreal girl. You say I am obsessed with her, but is you who always talks about her.”

    “Yeah, because you’re always texting her!”

    “Well, I like to get laid.”

    And there’s Cliff’s opening.

    Or: Cliff has been suspecting that Roz moved to Ottawa for his Montreal girl for a while now. And tonight, they’re going to go out for drinks and he’s finally going to get some answers. Not even two overeager rookies are going to stop him. Except things don’t quite go as Cliff planned and Jane from Montreal is not what he expected.

  20. Cliff hates the waiting game, mostly because it goes on way too long. A year. A year of trying to find a moment to bring up the ring, casually mentioning Jane where it won’t push Roz away, making exasperated eye contact with his teammates with each failed lead. 
    -
    The Boston Bears just want their captain to be happy, they don't mean to uncover the most well kept secret in the NHL.
    Good thing the rookies are cute, Rozanov can't yell at cute.
