    Summary

    Once the glow of the cottage fades and the boys have to head back to the real world, they have to start the long difficult year being separated before Ilya signs with Ottawa. Or at least that was the plan, until Ilya opened his mouth and accidentally got himself traded to Montreal. But it’s fine, just one year for Ilya in Montreal and then their 10 year plan is back on track… Right?

    Through their year on the same team, Ilya helps Shane come to terms with the fact that his team kinda sucks, Hayden gets chirped into oblivion but still realizes that maybe Ilya Rozanov isn’t nearly as bad of a guy as he thought, and Hollanov come to terms with a new question they didn’t expect to ask.

    Now that they’ve gotten a taste of living together and being on the same team, how are they ever going to give it up?

    Summary

    The Boxing Day argument changes everything.

    This time: there is no emergency Centaur plane landing. No moment of clarity. No grand realization waiting around the corner.

    Instead, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov come to terms with the fact that they are not on the same page about their relationship. Ilya, the physical touch king, is ready to stop hiding. Shane, the reserved, this-needs-a-15-step-plan king, still needs more time.

    So they break up.

    Ilya throws himself into therapy, starts taking antidepressants, adopts a dog, befriends a very attractive new reporter, and develops a newfound commitment to living authentically. Shane is left wondering: what happens when hockey, the thing that’s always defined him, no longer feels like enough?

    A canon-divergent story beginning after the Boxing Day argument in The Long Game.

     

    OR: because my daddy Ilya deserved more than a plane-crash induced panicked proposal & my baby Shane deserved more than a social media outing.

    Summary

    Following an afternoon of sex and tuna melts, Shane goes searching for the explicit rules of what being 'friends with benefits' entails. In his humble opinion, they're nailing it.

    Once friendship is on the table, Shane reconsiders the usefulness and immutability of the public rivalry narrative. Surely the NHL can make just as much money from a bromance as it can from a rivalry?

    A missed call from J.J., a dinner at All-Stars, and an ill-considered mad dash to the airport send Shane's season in a very different direction to the disciplined three-peat he'd been planning back in October.


    "This rivalry thing: it was everyone else who said we hated each other off the ice. There’s no rule that says we have to keep doing that forever.” Shane stared outside, past the blinding billboards and down at the streets below. “It was nice. Hanging out, last time.”

    He knew what it looked like when Rozanov shut down, when he closed himself off and pushed the world away. He’d finish the conversation abruptly, curt, clipped, and retreat. So Shane knew he’d won when Rozanov finally answered with: “Are we six years old, Hollander? Asking if I want to play in sandbox with you?"
