  2. “Do not make me do work. I just retired.” “You did. You’ve had an amazing career and you’re an amazing husband and, as my WAG, it’s my job to keep you happy. So I’ll make it happen. I’ll get you a baby. But, we’ve got to figure out logistics to get one.” “We just do it the easy way.”

  3. Shane Hollander desperately needs to disappear.
    After a spectacularly awful week, a remote Yorkshire cottage seems like the perfect place to hide from the press, rediscover himself, and drink an irresponsible amount of tea.
    Unfortunately, the cottage isn't empty.
    The Russian stranger insists it’s his, but Shane has paperwork that says otherwise.
    It's just after midnight, there's a storm outside, the roads are probably flooded, and the only available weapon is a stuffed fish.
    Clearly, this is all Svetlana's fault.
    They're both convinced the cottage belongs to them and they're both refusing to leave.
    A Yorkshire romcom.
    Inspired by The Holiday (2006), with lashings of Wallace & Gromit.

  5. Ilya and Shane get outed via instagram live… as friends. The world reacts as their friendship becomes the most talked about thing in the hockey world.

    Being openly friends affords them more freedoms to be together, but all the more easy to lose it all.

  6. “Oh,” Hollander says. Landry is still just kind of staring at the photos, face unreadable, but he must see something in her expression, because he reaches across the table to take her left hand into his—squeezes, covers it with his other hand as well. “I don’t think—well, her parents got married in front of this little pond area so—"

    Hollander turns to look at her. Landry is still staring at the flower arches: the baby breath, the forget-me-nots, the heaps and heaps of roses sharing her name. Sveta throws a questioning glance Ilya’s way, her perfectly sculptured eyebrows making a valid effort to fly off her face. Ilya shrugs.

    And then Rose Landry bursts into heaving sobs.

    or: Ilya gets hired to plan Hollandrys wedding. And that would be--great! If only he didn't have to biggest crush on the groom-to-be. Only, maybe he's got some things backwards?

  7. Set several months before the tuna melt:

    The officer points at his entryway. “We noticed a doorbell camera when we entered. Is there a way we can take a look at that footage?”

    Ilya frowns. The footage would easily prove that he spent the night at home, but it would also prove that he wasn’t alone. And if these cops know Ilya Rozanov, then they definitely know Shane Hollander.

    “I’d like to know what this is about.”

    “Shane Hollander was attacked outside of his hotel early this morning. The medical staff report he was saying your name."

  8. Ilya: shane
    Ilya: [image attached - button up silk shirt laid out on a bed]
    Ilya: ???!!!!

    Jane: Why did you send me a picture of your shirt?

    Ilya: [image attached - Ilya’s torso with the shirt on, which is very obviously too small. The buttons will not close and the sleeves are squeezing Ilya’s arms]
    Ilya: why is it fucking ant sized?!?!

    Jane: Oh my god
    Jane: I’m sorry that is hilarious. What happened to your shirt?

    Ilya: you tell me!!!!

    Jane: I mean, it was in your laundry pile, so I probably washed it with the rest of the clothes.

    Ilya: …
    Ilya: shane
    Ilya: please tell me you did not put all my laundry through the machine at home

    OR: Shane and Ilya finally live together after over a decade apart. Turns out living with the love of your life is a lot harder than the movies make it seem.

    (OR: 5 times Shane and Ilya bicker over household things that you never know can piss you off until you are living with someone who does them.)

  9. “So. The plan,” Ilya says eventually. “What should we do? Should you request a trade to Ottawa?”

    Shane pulls himself back, just enough so he can meet Ilya’s eyes. He had considered that, on the car ride over. Considered waiving his No-Movement Clause for the Centaurs.

    But then, he began to consider waiving it for a different team in a different city. A city that already has a house for them to share.

    Ottawa made sense before, when it seemed like the only option for the two of them to be closer together.

    But now?

    “I could,” Shane says. “Or, I could request a trade to Boston.”

    Or: it’s the Spring of 2018. A locker room incident disguised as a prank outs Shane, and his teammates discover his relationship with a rival NHL player— a player that Shane refuses to disclose the identity of.

    In the following months, it becomes obvious that Montreal can no longer be a home for Shane.

    Boston, however, just might be.

  13. "I'm not gay."

    "Okay you're not gay. But something made you call a gay helpline. Do you want to talk about it?"

    "I found this number on a poster in some bar, I don't… I can't tell anyone else about this. I need to tell someone…"

    "You can tell me."

    Or; Shane needs someone to confide in about Ilya so he calls a Montreal based LGBT helpline to talk things through anonymously. And then he keeps calling, through every anxious thought and major milestone, someone else is on the other end of the line listening and advising.

  14. When it happens the puck has just left his stick.

    It's a clean hit, but Shane takes it horribly, crumbling on impact and colliding with the boards. While he tries valiantly to keep his head up, he feels himself slide sideways and his last fully coherent thought occurs as his head cracks against both the ice and the bottom edge of the boards.

    Immediately, the arena starts to wilt.

    “… We just want a future.”

    “I have only been in love with one person…”

    Shane falls backwards and sinks, the ice turning to water beneath him.

    “Holy shit. I love you too…”

    “I love you…”

    The words—memories?— are swimming amongst him, angled and distorted; they consume him, they’re are all he can process, even as someone else—a medic, maybe?— on the periphery now, says, "Just stay still Hollander."

  16. Shane realized they were going to have to bring Sofia to practice when his mom had called them earlier that morning to say she was sick that she couldn't keep Sofia for the day which meant they had to bring her with them. Naturally everyone agreed that they could help watch her for the day, pitching in to keep her entertained. Or the one where Sofia comes to practice and runs a tight ship.

  17. And the thing is, Ilya has never had to get Shane into a vulnerable state like that to exert that control; no, some sort of merciful God that he hadn't been sure existed since he was a child took pity on him and somehow sent him the most perfect man in the world who seemed to want nothing more than to allow himself to be Ilya's plaything, to be molded into the perfect shape to fit all of his terrible desires. But there's so much allure in it, anyway—the idea of taking that power, taking that control, plucking it from Shane's hands in a much less open way—just because he wanted to. Just because he knew it would feel good. Just because he knew, deep down, that Shane wanted it, too. Shane and Ilya's hospital encounter after the hit from Cliff goes a little differently. Ilya walks away with an invitation to the cottage, and a brand new fantasy about fucking Shane when he's high. Ilya gets what he wants. or: a bit of a love letter to power exchange, the romance of kink, and the beauty of someone matching your freak.

  18. A butterfly flapping its wings in one part of the world may cause a hurricane somewhere else.

    A conversation with Rose Landry leads Shane Hollander to make a decision that he may ultimately live to regret. Far from the eye of the storm, he crashes along the waves, beaten down by wind and rain.

    Ilya Rozanov lies in the eye of a hurricane. Sometimes he drifts just close enough to the horizon to get into trouble. Just dangerous enough to keep life interesting - enough to remind himself that he's still alive.

    A safe harbor can be found for both, if they can only get there.

    Or, Post Tuna-Meltdown but before All-Stars in Tampa, Shane comes out to the Metros and it does not go well. He comes up for air in Boston.

  19. "Shane," Ilya interrupts, knowing that if he lets Shane go on much longer, he really will be on the next flight back. And as tempting as it is, he really likes all the free shit Shane gets to bring home and he's in desperate need of a new watch after the last barbecue at Bood's went slightly awry. "I'm fine, I just have lice."

    There's a long pause, and though Ilya can't see Shane's face, he can imagine the exact look that's there. Forehead wrinkled, lips set in a thin line, his eyes moving slowly around the room as he tries to figure something out. "You're going to have to expand on that, I think."

    "Turns out the sleepover I hosted for the Pikes had more than a few uninvited guests," Ilya offers and he hears Shane exhale in relief at the explanation, making a mental note to ask when he gets home exactly what other scenarios were playing out in Shane's overactive brain.

    "I bet Hayden and Jackie feel awful."

    Ilya has about twenty apology texts from Jackie he knows he needs to respond to. "Yes, they do."

    "You're going to make Hayden suffer for this, aren't you?"

    He grins, loving how well Shane knows him without even a hint as to what Ilya has planned. "Yes, I am."
