    “Boys, I appreciate the thought you’ve put into this so far,” Yuna said. “But there’s no way you're hiding this for ten years. It is going to leak. We need an actual reasonable plan for you to come out safely and be happy so you can do this on your own terms and not be miserable.”

    --

    The ten-year plan was never going to work. Fortunately, thanks to Yuna, Shane and Ilya now have a new and improved plan that could have them safe and happy in just a year or two's time. They just have to want it bad enough.

    Ottawa a year early. Support from friends and family. Therapy. Rebranded images. A more confident and secure Shane. A public friendship hard launch. A relationship soft launch.

    There's a lot to do. It's time to put in the work.

    It was new, knowing he was cohabitating with his mother. They couldn't speak, not truly, and he couldn't feel her touch barring occasional cold spots, but there was a weight in the air just knowing she was there. Growing pains, Ilya thought softly.

    or

    Shane and Ilya struggle to be together while juggling his dead ghost mother's unfinished business, the mental illness Ilya swears he doesn't have, homophobia Shane promises he's not a victim of, and Russia which seems unwilling to let them go.

    The fight on Boxing Day had been explosive and painful. But they'd decided they would make a new plan. One they could both live with.

    But the more Shane tried to compromise, all the years of resentment and hiding crowded in at once. He spat an ultimatum across the table. Six months. A year at the absolute most. Or they were done.

    “That’s not enough time. A year is… tough, but maybe,” Shane offered carefully. “Eighteen months?”

    Ilya’s temper flared.

    “I do not want to wait another eighteen fucking months!” The words echoed through the room. “I want to be like Hunter! Go on dates with my boyfriend. Talk about him to people. Not always feel like some awful, shameful secret.”

    “You want to talk to people about me?” he asked quietly. His voice sounded so small and fragile and confused. But Ilya was still furious and raw.

    “Well I would,” he sneered, “if there was anything about you that was fucking interesting to talk about! It would be nice to not be so fucking bored and miserable!”

    As the words left his mouth, he knew he'd gone too far.

    ---
    What if the Centaur's plane never malfunctions, so Shane never proposes. Instead, Ilya gives him an ultimatum.

    “I need another favor,” Ilya informs him.

    Pushing off the wall, Cliff comes a little closer, stands at attention near the edge of the sofa. “Anything, man. Told you.”

    Ilya’s eyes drop to the phone sitting on the cushion between them, the sling on his arm, then back up to Cliff’s face.

    “I need you to sext my Jane for me.”

    A medical retirement took Shane Hollander off the ice, but photography gave him a way to stay close to the game. Now a prestigious editorial photographer, he’s the obvious choice when ESPN revives the Body Issue.

    And Ilya Rozanov, fresh off the best season of his career, is the obvious choice for the cover.

    They haven’t spoken in nearly seven years. And all the reasons why are suddenly coming back into focus.

    [The Ottawa Centaurs are scattered around their locker room after practice in various states of undress. The camera walks up to Coach Brandon Wiebe, a hand extending with a cup that holds multiple pieces of paper. Wiebe smiles at the camera and reaches in to pull out a slip, he looks at it, and then reads.]

    Wiebe: Shake the hand of the player that is the baby of the team.

    [Wiebe's smiles grows, his eyes traveling across the room as he begins to walk toward Luca Haas. He holds out his hand and Luca's already flushed face grows even more read as he reluctantly shakes his coach's hand back.]

    Luca: Seriously, Coach? Not you, too. I'm almost twenty two for fuck's sake.

    [Next to Luca, Zane Boodram grins and pats Luca on the back and Ilya Rozanov calls from nearby.]

    Ilya: You are not old enough to say fuck until you can explain what it means!

    Wiebe: You might be the baby of the family, but that doesn't mean you're not great at what you do. You score lots of goals and you remind Ilya that he's supposed to act like an adult at least occasionally.

    Shane: Trust me, that's a very important job.

    “You dropped out of college!” Svetlana repeated as she threw her hands up. “You had two semesters left in Boston! You were top of your program! You talked about moving to New York, opening your own firm, taking over the world—and now your big life ambition is sitting on a plush couch in the Canadian tundra waiting for Mr. Real Estate to finish his stock trades?”

    Ilya laid his fork down with a deliberate clink against the ceramic plate. He rested his elbows on the table, leaning forward, his blue eyes sharp and terrifyingly clear.

    “Sveta,” he began, his tone dropping into that familiar, authority. “In Boston, I woke up at six every morning to run in the freezing rain. I spent eight hours in lectures surrounded by rich idiots who thought they were geniuses because their dads bought a building. I spent four hours every night memorizing financial models I already knew how to build in my sleep, just so some eighty-year-old professor could give me a checkmark on a piece of paper. The point is, why would I fight the world when I can just enjoy the simple pleasures of life? I spent my whole life surviving. Shanya gave me a place where I don’t have to.”

    After dying in a plane crash in 2021, Ilya wakes up in a nondescript hotel room, identical to hundreds he has stayed in during his decade-long NHL career. Is he in Hell? Mama is not here. Neither is Shane.

    But then the phone rings; a representative from CCM wants to confirm Ilya will be on time to his photo shoot with Shane Hollander.

    On the way to the rink, Ilya, who learned from the very best, makes a multi-step plan:

    1. Texting
    2. No sleeping around
    3. Friends
    4. First names
    5. Boyfriends

    Ilya made Shane fall in love with him once. He can do it again.

    He has to.

    Ilya Rozanov is so excited about his new beautiful pup Anya! Except Ilya is blinded by his excitement. Anya is a bit weird looking, okay maybe she's kinda scary looking. Shane adjusts to life with a new dog and makes it his mission to protect Ilya from the truth about Anya.

    Excerpt:

    Unknown Number:

    Please you have to take her back, I can't sleep with her creepy humanlike eyes staring at me.

    [Close up image of a dog's face]

    She looks like one of the puppets from The Labyrinth. I had night terrors about that movie as a kid.

    Harris:

    Who is this? Why do you have Anya?

    Unknown Number:

    Seriously name your price, lie to Ilya and tell him you found her old family and take her away please🙏

    Harris:

    I don't know who you are but I'm calling Rozanov and maybe the police. This is creepy. Who are you???

    Unknown Number:

    This is Jane. Ilya's partner. Please. I'm desperate. I wouldn’t have reached out otherwise.

    Shane and Ilya have done everything right, with years of waiting, planning, and hoping. After too many almosts and not-quites, they go to one more adoption event with no expectations. But one quiet conversation—and one perfect baby—turn “maybe” into something a lot more dangerous: hope. And hope, it turns out, has a way of asking for more than they expected. (AKA: hurt/comfort, so much yearning, accidental family, angst with a payoff, and yes—a hard-won happy ending)

    "Did Scott tell you about the deal?" Rozanov asks.
    "Deal?" says Eric.
    "Does he not know?" Roznov asks, with some surprise.
    "Know what?" Eric asks, genuinely puzzled. For reasons he can't identify, his heart rate speeds up.
    "About you."
    Eric doesn't respond.
    Rozanov gives him another look. "Gospodi. Please tell me you know, at least."

    A shoulder injury sees Ilya retire two years before his husband. Too much time on his hands means Ilya falls down the well-trodden path of too much childhood trauma leading to a lot of therapy leading to becoming a stand-up comedian.
    -----

    LAZY • 1 hour of comedy by Ilya ROZANOV

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - ‘Highly entertaining.’

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - ‘Very funny, surprisingly insightful.’

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - ‘Queer, loud and very, very funny.’

    ⭐️ - ‘Technically competent show but extremely arrogant and somewhat debauched.’

    -----
    That leads to both another round of laughter and a cheer. On stage, Ilya grins.

    “Yes, but I knew even then that staying in Russia was maybe a very bad idea. Because queer and Russian is recipe for very traditional Russian tragedy, yes? Which, generally speaking, are not good.” Ilya holds up a hand, counting on his fingers. “Napoleonic Wars, Stalingrad, Chernobyl, getting caught sucking cock with your Coach’s son. All of these would be bad, no? Very high body counts, probably.”

    There’s a lot of laughter now. In the front row, Svetlana wipes at her eyes, shoulders shaking.

    “That was a good one,” Ilya said, stretching his arms above his head. “Fuck, you fucked a cramp into my back.”

    “I fucked a cramp into your back?”

    “Yes,” Ilya said, raising an eyebrow. “What, you are trying to say you are a pillow princess?”

    Shane scoffed. “You’ll never hear me take any of those words in my mouth.”

    Shane didn’t know but Ilya liked to observe the iridescent stains it left on his skin in the mirror of the bathroom, his fingertips caressing his skin gently, slowly.

    He liked the view of his body splattered in glitters, knowing it was Shane’s come—his claim.

    Shane tries to get his boyfriend drunk to know his species and gets more than what he bargained for.

    And Ilya realises that his boyfriend’s come is 1) glittery 2) an aphrodisiac 3) smells and tastes like fruity juice.

    Or, alternatively : none of them is human, but they sure can get drunk.

    Shane watches as Ilya laughs brightly, shaking his head despite the person on the other end of the phone being unable to hear him. He responds with the same jovial tone that is being sent in his direction, the words still a chirp as is usual between hockey players, but spoken with a lighthearted teasing laced throughout it. There’s no hunched shoulders, tense jaw, dropped gaze. Ilya is the opposite, sprawled across the couch, phone held in a loose grip, the speaker phone creating a bit of echo but not interacting with the quality of the call. One would think that Ilya is talking to someone he adores, like Svetlana, or maybe even Shane when they’re playing the latest NHL video game, battling against each other. It definitely doesn’t sound like any conversation Shane has ever had with one of his own teammates.

    Shane Hollander begins his NHL career unchallenged when Ilya Rozanov enters the KHL after World Juniors. One season of being allowed to terrorize the ice and the Winner’s Room is enough for Boston to drag Ilya out of Russia.

    What they had not accounted for in releasing a second generational talent into the league was that not all predators are solitary. Ilya may want to bring Hollander to his knees, but he wants to present the defeat of an inferior player to his feet first.

    He just has to convince Hollander to let him.
