    Ilya’s 2020 Instagram Posts
    Longtime lurker, first time poster. Throwaway for reasons that will be obvious, but the mods can verify I am who I claim to be. Which is someone who knows Ilya and Shane very personally.
    I wanted to talk about some of Ilya’s instagram posts because I was looking back at them the other day and they’re literally all about Shane.

  2. It wasn’t his first hockey fight, not by far. After decades of playing, it was impossible to avoid the occasional scrum. It just wasn’t something that Shane purposefully tried to get involved in. He wasn’t like Ilya, he didn’t find joy in pushing and prodding at the other team until one of them snapped and threw a punch. When a scrum did break out, he hardly ever joined the fray, preferring instead to focus on managing the refs and trying to get his team out of the fight with as few penalties as possible. When Shane’s fist connected with Comeau’s cheekbone, Shane grinned. -- Or, the moment Shane realized he played his last game as a Montreal Metro and has to come to terms with everything that means after. Featuring Shane realizing he's not as okay as he seems, and Ilya trying to figure out how he can help.

    Rozanov: …
    Rozanov: What did I just say about bi erasure?
    You: I am straight.
    Rozanov: …
    You: Do not say it!
    Rozanov: I wonder if internalized bi erasure is something
    Rozanov: I will ask Harris
    Rozanov: He told me about internalized homophobia

    Carter Vaughn: Hey guys! I just realized we didn’t have a group chat for POC NHL players so I made one!
    J.J. Boiziau: You're so right, man
    613-125-3357: I don’t know why I haven’t thought of this before. Bless my team but it’s like they are trying to camouflage with the ice

  7. [Two basic-looking men in suits sit at a desk inside the Canadian Tire Centre. Hockey players swirl around the ice behind them for warm-ups.]

    Johnny: Hello, everyone, and welcome to the 2021 season opener for the Ottawa Centaurs! I’m Jonny Bernard here with Martin Thomas, and we’re so glad it’s hockey season again.

    Mark: Indeed, we are Johnny. Especially when it comes to this team.

    Johnny: Absolutely. So many have been waiting for the so-called Gayest Team in Hockey to take to the ice for the first time.

    Mark: A mantle they proudly wear, and for good reason. When you have Shane Hollander, Ilya Rozanov, and Troy Barrett on your team, being queer might just be a superpower.

    Johnny: Do you think we’ll see a Hollander/Rozanov appearance on the Kiss Cam tonight?

    Mark: I think it might be one of the greatest disappointments in all of hockey if we don’t.

  9. Ilya Rozanov always knew that Shane Hollander carried the Montreal Metros on his shoulders, but when the whole world gets to see the same thing, the game changes.
    And having to watch his boyfriend exhaust himself playing practically alone while his teammates ignore him makes anger bubble in Ilya's chest.
    But it's at his own press conference that things... heat up.

    OR,
    Ilya's POV interview after the Centaurs' victory and Shane's stumble, in which the author continues to rant about the Montreal Metros/Voyageurs being assholes.

  10. In front of them stands the old-school theater Shane had selected, fully alabaster save for its glittering marquee and large neon letters spelling out AERO. To his relief, the crowd of waiting patrons out front number few on this Monday evening, and everyone present seems too focused on their own plans or cinematic immersion to pay them any mind.

    “Shane.” Beside him, an incredulous voice sounds. “A movie?”

    “Fuck you. We’re barely drafted at this point, remember? So not crazy rich yet.” Rather than allowing Ilya’s reaction to trigger any doubt, Shane laughs as he reminds them both. “And come on, we’re near Hollywood. It makes total sense for a first date as teenagers.”

    Weeks before their wedding, Shane and Ilya return to all the places that mattered - and resurrect all the memories they could’ve shared over the years.

  13. Jackie: Just think of it like this:
    Jackie: Let Hayden and Ilya plan your birthday, and then it’s just a few hours on one day in one year that you might have to spend being a little uncomfortable being the center of attention.
    Jackie: …but it could bring us a lifetime of peace.

    Shane: You really think that’s even remotely possible?

    Jackie: Well. They either work together and find common ground, or they kill each other.
    Jackie: Either way, our problem is solved.

    Shane: That’s actually kind of genius.

    Jackie: I know it is. It’s me 😉

    An exploration of J.J and Hayden as not-so-great friends, from Shane's POV. Ends on a hopeful note for Shane overall but not in regards to his two longtime friends.

    Also featuring a cute text exchange between Shane and Ilya + a sweet conversation in the Hollander family groupchat!

  15. Ilya can hear the squeak of wheels on linoleum floor, feel his body being moved along a hallway. Maybe the light dims in front of his eyelids when he’s pushed into an elevator. Maybe he’s just falling asleep.
    How is he supposed to tell?
    “Wait; is he okay?”
    Ilya knows that voice, hears the panic in it.
    “Please; how is he? Where are you taking him?”
    Shane’s here? Why would Shane be here in the hospital?
    If he’s in the hospital, how badly is he injured?

    Ilya gets injured during the playoffs, upending all of his and Shane's plans.

  16. Shane finds out on Twitter.

    Not from a lawyer or a teammate or even one of the journalists who've been calling nonstop since the FanMail video went viral. He finds out at 6:47 am, still in bed, that Russia is coming for Ilya. Propaganda charges. Passport revocation. Return to the Russian Federation required.

    What follows is weeks of watching everything fall apart. Ilya's career. Their safety. The system that was supposed to protect them. Shane keeps playing while Ilya can't. The lawyers file paperwork and say to wait. Montreal demands silence.

    Shane faces a choice: keep his head down and trust the process, or burn down his career and force the world to pay attention.

    He chooses fire.

  18. “I’m sorry I’m not him,” Shane says, looking away.

    “Who?”

    “Future me. Whoever you fell in love with.” What’s unsaid hangs in the air: whoever fell in love with you. Because this Shane – 2010 Shane – doesn’t love him. Is amused by their daily lessons, comforted by his presence, even grateful. But love?

    “That’s the thing, Shane,” Ilya says. His eyes are shining. “You are, right now, exactly who I fell in love with.”

    In 2031, Shane wakes up in the hospital certain that it's 2010. Ilya is there to remind him of the two decades he's missed and the life they've built along the way.

  19. After stumbling and falling in the game against the Centaurs, Shane is accused by his teammates and the Montreal Metros management team of throwing the game to Ilya as a result of their relationship being exposed after the FanMail incident.
    Shane is forced to give a post-game interview in the midst of a dissociative episode.
    Until an incriminating question from a reporter causes the rubber band inside him to snap, and Shane says all the things he shouldn't say.
    Except that he actually should.

    Or,
    aka the author ranting about the Montreal Metros/Voyageurs being assholes.

  20. "Where are we going?"

    Ilya gave him a sharp smile. "Why don't you tell me?"

    "Huh?" Shane blinked.

    "I know you've been to gay club in L.A. before. Where did you go?"

    Shane flushed as he finally caught on. It hadn't even occurred to Shane that he had, technically, done the gay club thing at least once before, just not with Ilya. Of course Ilya wouldn't forget that fact, and it suddenly made a lot more sense why he'd chosen L.A. for this little expedition.

    "Seriously?"

    —

    Ilya has an idea of how he and Shane can celebrate their recent win in L.A. and it definitely has nothing to do with Hollywood blow job guy.
