    Summary

    Shane and Ilya are coming out this summer. First they need to convince the fans that being competitive doesn’t depend on hating each other at all, actually. With a little [a lot] of help from Harris Drover, it’s all going according to plan. [Well, except Ilya keeps saying that being public friends means they're now officially friends with benefits. Shane did not buy Ilya a ring to be demoted to friends with benefits.]
    -----
    The camera tracks Shane and Ilya as they race back up the ice. They cross the finish line in a blur of speed and round on Harris.

    “I don’t-,” Harris says, “It was so tight. Maybe we call it a draw?”

    Ilya throws his arms up. “[Beep], is not a f-[beep]-ing draw, is-”

    “Harris, what the [beep]?” Shane shouts, eyes wide. “What do-”

    The two of them abruptly fall silent.

    “Um, sorry, sorry.” Ilya shrugs.

    Shane flushes. “Sorry, yeah, sorry Harris.”

    “So I’m guessing,” says Harris, “you want a re-do?”

    “Cannot be a tie,” Ilya says at the same time Shane says, “draws aren’t a real thing.”

    Harris can’t help it. He bursts out laughing.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Shane and Ilya are going to come out this summer and they have a plan. A plan to really change the narrative first, with a little [a lot] of help from one Harris Drover.

    The plan is working. It’s all actually working. Well, except for the way Ilya insists on repeating that being publicly friends makes them officially friends with benefits now. Shane could do without that part. He did not give Ilya a ring to be demoted to friends with benefits.

    --

    Roger Crowell: ‘I am the Commissioner. This is the NHL. It’s hockey. I know what the fans want. What they will accept. I call the fucking shots here.’

    Ilya and Shane standing together with Harris beside them, his camera tripod slung over his shoulder: ‘Oh yeah, wanna bet?’

    And, well. Ilya Rozanov always gets what he wants.

    Summary

    “No, he's not,” Marley said, elbowing Ilya good-naturedly. Ilya narrowed his eyes at him, utterly baffled at the confused looks thrown his way.

    “He is,” Ilya insisted. “The first time I met him, he would not shut the fuck up about his parents’ koi fishies!”

    He was met with several stares of disbelief.

    Or:

    Five times Ilya Rozanov finds himself a captive audience to a chatty Shane Hollander, and one time Shane tries (and fails) to stay quiet around Ilya.

    Summary

    He was playing the game of trying to imagine what the headlines would say.

    Shane Hollander V. Tyler Bratchen In Shocking Fist Fight!

    Has Hollander finally lost his cool? Read more.

    Tempers fly in downtown Montreal between these two NHL players 👀

    He’d managed to dodge scandals for years because he just…didn’t do anything scandalous. Aside from being in love with Ilya Rozanov, which he supposed was ironic. His first negative public debacle, all because one idiot couldn’t keep Ilya’s name out of his mouth. Funny how things worked now.

    Or: a measure of Shane’s devotion, seen through a very public, very messy bar brawl.

    Summary

    “This hot tub has not been well maintained,” Rozanov complained as they stood on the deck, staring at the built-in hot tub, big enough to fit 8 people. 

    “So, you can replace it,” Shane replied patiently.

    “I will be too busy to replace the hot tub. Then I will have a long day, and I will decide to have a soak in my rancid hot tub, and then I will catch diphtheria and die.” Rozanov looked at Shane, accusatory. “You want me to die?”

    Shane looked down. The hot tub looked no more or less rancid than any other hot tub. “I don’t think you can get diphtheria from a dirty hot tub.”

    “You are doctor now?” Rozanov asked, and Shane stayed silent. 

    Shane Hollander is a realtor who works with the Ottawa Centaurs to find properties for new players.

    Ilya Rozanov needs a home.
