    Summary

    “You will not be so friendly when we beat you.” Yes. That’s pretty good. It’s not the exact thing he wants to say, but it sounds cool, though he could have done better in Russian. Before the draft, he has to practise more, so that by the time he’s playing in the NHL, he’ll be better. He wants to be able to chirp properly. English is not a very good language for insults, but Ilya knows he’ll be good at using it for that anyway.

    ---

    Five times Ilya has trouble finding the right words in English and one time he doesn’t have to.

    Summary

    “I think we need a plan.”

    “I thought we have a plan?” Ilya asked, gruffly, his brow furrowing in confusion.

    “I just mean…” Shane’s face was serious; his eyes were doing that puppy-dog thing that Ilya couldn’t resist, where they looked earnest and soft and serious all at once. "What if we didn’t wait to come out? Rather than waiting until we retire. Maybe, I don’t know, stopped hiding quite so much and just… let people figure it out, eventually.”


    Changing the Narrative, or; Hollander and Rozanov's Guide to a Gentle Take-Off

    Shane and Ilya are done hiding. Coming out, however, is another story. Between family, friends, fans, teammates, and a league still grappling with inclusivity, changing the narrative might just prove more complicated than they expected.

    Summary

    The next hour is kind of awful.

    Hayden's brain keeps turning up worst case scenarios (he's sick, he's still too injured to play, he's been traded to LA, he's requested a move to Boston because he got Lily pregnant out of wedlock). Shane is wearing his media-smile. Jackie is doing all the heavy lifting, conversation wise, and clearly peeved at Hayden for not being chill about whatever talk Shane wants to have after this.

    OR: Shane is dating Ilya Rozanov, which is better and worse than what Hayden was expecting.

    Summary

    Ilya and Shane host a party for the start of this year’s Irina Foundation camp.

    --

    “The man doesn’t have any shame, that’s the thing." Marly grins, arm draped over Roz’s shoulders. “Therefore, it can’t be done. Rozy can’t be embarrassed. My money is safe.”

    “Nobody has ever won? Really?” Shane asks, smiling.

    Roz stares across at his husband then shrugs. “You are bluffing. Is fine, go ahead. There is nothing anyway, you can’t win.”

    “Well, I was just thinking,” Hollander says, “that the guys might be interested to hear that you...have a type?” Marly could swear Shane’s eyes glanced in the direction of Scott Hunter. Could swear too that Roz tracked the movement.

    --

    Shane gets competitive. Scott Hunter learns more than he bargained for. Marly is determined to be a really fucking good bro.
