    Summary

    “Hollander?” Ilya’s voice cracked. His heart was hammering away at his ribcage, threatening to break free.
    “I’m— I’m sorry,” Hollander croaked, Ilya could hear the tears in his voice. “I just want to hear your voice.”
    “What’s going on?” Ilya started to register the other noises in the background, the noises he’d brushed off as typical city noise. It sounded like people were screaming.

    Or what if Shane ends up in a plane emergency after tuna melt gate

    Summary

    “Ah.”

    “‘Ah’,” Ilya repeats, giving him a look before he looks back to the tidily stacked frozen mouse packages in the freezer and makes a face as a little badly-hidden shudder moves through him. “Why the fuck do you have mice in your freezer, Shane? You are doing serial killer shit now? This is why you have cottage in the middle of nowhere? For serial killer things?”

    “It’s for Spaghetti,” Shane says.

    Ilya gives him an absolutely horrified look at that and turns a little green, which makes him remember that Spaghetti isn’t just his snake's name.

    “Not food!” He rushes to explain. “Not food spaghetti! Snake Spaghetti!”

    “What the fuck are you even saying right now,” Ilya says, looking honestly a little concerned that Shane might have something going wrong in his head.

    (Distancing himself from almost twenty years of owning a snake, Shane can indeed see why this situation might be a little alarming for someone on the outside looking in.)

    (It also clues him in to the fact that maybe it’s not just Spaghetti who should have gotten a little adjustment period.)

    Summary

    “You are not taking Uber alone to have four teeth pulled while you are terrified.”
    “I’m not terrified.”
    “You called me at six in morning.”
    “Okay, maybe a little.”
    —
    Luca calls his captain at six in the morning intending to cancel his wisdom-teeth appointment. Instead, Ilya and Shane pick him up, take him to the dentist, and somehow spend the rest of the day accidentally becoming his parents.

    Summary

    It’s late in the first period when the news breaks.
    Shane stands. He’s not sure why, not at first, as he sweeps the ice, looking for blood or a mouthful of teeth or anything that would explain this sudden silence.
    Le Centre-Bell is never quiet.

    - -

    Hayden's video leaks partway through the 2022 season, while Montréal is playing Ottawa. Shane trades himself to the opposing team.

    - -

    Or: remember when Patrick Roy traded himself in the middle of a game? Shane can do that, too.

    Summary

    Shane is the steady ground he stands upon, the hand that guides him, the very air that he breathes. They’re so entwined now, that Ilya is certain he would cease to exist if ever they were separated.

    It’s maybe becoming a problem.

    Or, 5 times Ilya and Shane try (and fail) not to be codependent, and 1 time they just give into it.
