    Summary

    They may not have any idea how to do it, but there’s no way in hell the Montreal Metros are going to risk losing their Captain to a more accepting team. Full of determination, grit, open hearts, and absolutely no savvy, this team is going to learn how to be allies, come hell or high water.

    Summary

    It used to be Ilya encouraging Shane to eat but now the Canadian was eating double what the Russian would have daily, if not more.

    Shane was beating himself up, trying to come to any conclusion of why his husband was eating less and less.

    They lay in bed one night, cuddling closely, when Shane got the courage to ask.

    The Hockey Buzz ✅ @HockeyBuzzOfficial
    [BREAKING] Text messages from the Boston Raiders' group chat during the years 2014–2016 have been leaked online earlier this morning. The messages, which appear to be from captain Ilya Rozanov’s phone, contain inappropriate, scandalous, and sexually explicit content. The Raiders' management has yet to issue a statement.

    Screenshots from the group chat can be accessed in the full article below. Reader discretion is advised.

    ———

    Jane
    Okay, I read through that article. Mostly to see how bad it was and how much damage control needs to be done
    And can I just say…
    Baby, I love you and I trust you. And I know you love me too
    But what the everliving fuck goes on in your team group chat

    Summary

    Being a good father and a good husband turned out not to require anything extraordinary. All Ilya had to do was hold his son upright while he cried. Reach for his husband’s hand when everything else felt fragile enough to break. Explaining why. Explaining it again. Apologizing when he was wrong, and let himself be forgiven, too.

    Stay—especially on the days when staying felt like a decision he had already, once, been afraid he might not make.

    Do it again tomorrow.

    And tomorrow, Ilya learned, was no longer frightening when it looked back at him through brown eyes.

    Summary

    Ilya honestly doesn't remember much for the next few weeks. He remembers waking up, occasionally, his body and their bed empty. The sun high and Shane's side of the bed cold. He remembers watching the sheets change color under the moving sun. He remembers not really caring. He remembers apple slices, left on his bedside table with sweet notes he cannot recall. He remembers nibbling on one and feeling the honeyed tang of it spill over his dry mouth. 

    Ilya remembers Shane's arms around his waist and his chest pressed against his back. He remembers Shane whispering “I love you” like it means ‘I miss you.’

    Ilya misses him too.

    (Or, After a depressive episode, Ilya has to change his meds, his new ones give him sexual dysfunction. Everyone (mostly Ilya) has some Feelings about this. Shane comes up with a creative solution to make Ilya feel better.)

    Summary

    (16. Morning, 742 words) TW: depression 
    --

    Mornings are sometimes particularly hard for Ilya. He’s never explained why to Shane, but the longer they’re together, the more Shane sees without asking. 

    He sees the way Ilya sometimes lies there, unmoving, staring at the ceiling long before the alarm goes off. He sees the distance in his gaze. The longing. The slight trembling in his hands. He sees the way Ilya will turn away from him so he doesn’t notice the sheen to his eyes, that he’s starting to cry. That his chest is heavy and that he’s carrying a weight that’s not his to bear. That Ilya doesn’t know how to fix it; that he thinks something is wrong with him. 

    Shane sees every crack in his armor and loves him all the same.

    Ilya is four days into what he will not call anything, and Shane is bad at this, and neither of them is going to say so. It's late November, Ottawa is grey, and Shane drives forty minutes he'll never admit to because something about the last phone call didn't sit right.

    Ilya Grigorievich Rozanov isn't much of a reader. But his first spring in Ottawa, watching playoffs happen to other people, he finds he has time on his hands.

    It's probably his luck, that the first book he picks up might be about him.

    Summary

    He’s standing across from Ilya in his kitchen. Their feet are almost touching, Ilya’s in black socks that Shane also has multiple pairs of, Shane’s in his favourite soft striped ones. The rain is getting louder outside, moving from a drizzle to a downpour. And Ilya is looking at him like he loves him.

    Summary

    The thing about Raiders was that they were all unhelpful assholes, and this quality only got enhanced with alcohol. Indistinct bass made faint words further indiscernible as St. Simon presumably made his way through whatever club him and his teammates had decided to hole up in for the moment.
    “St. Simon?” Scott called, and predictably got no answer. He rolled his eyes, let his head thump back against the brick. The motion jostled Roz out of his half-doze, and he blearily picked his head up.
    “I hate your team,” Scott told him.
    Rozanov blinked at him.

    Or, Ilya gets roofied at a club and accidentally comes out to Scott Hunter in the process.

    Summary

    Being a professional athlete in a contact sport is an exercise in enduring pain. Sometimes you get benched for three weeks because you have a broken cheekbone after you get hit in the face with a slap shot. Sometimes you play through a strained quad, a bruised shoulder, a mild fever. Most times, it’s just the constant, unending soreness that comes with pushing your body to its limit every single day. Every athlete had an injury they hated most, though, one that’s particularly painful or recurrent or just annoying. 

    Ilya fucking hated injuring his ribs. There is almost nothing you can do with your body that doesn't involve moving your torso, and the pain is deep, throbbing, and gets just a tiny bit worse every time you breathe. Sitting up hurts, lying down hurts, walking hurts, and worst of all, coughing fucking hurts.

    or

    Ilya is sick and injured in the off-season. Luckily, Shane loves him so very much and is there to take care of him.

    “I think I bit off more than I could chew,” Ilya says, pushing himself up to take the cigarette from Sasha and finish it.

    Sveta doesn’t know what it means. She’ll only understand it years later—when she’s already certain it’s everything Ilya ever does.

    Summary

    Shane has always believed survival meant discipline. Precision. Powering through the noise, the pressure, the parts of himself that never quite fit. Hockey gave him rules when the world didn’t, and he learned to excel inside that structure even as everything else scraped him raw.

    Ilya notices what no one else does.

    Quiet adjustments, steady presence, and the refusal to treat Shane’s needs like flaws. When the idea Shane has been running from finally takes shape, it doesn’t break him. It reframes everything. The anger. The exhaustion. The brilliance.

    This is not a story about fixing what’s broken.

    It’s about learning a language for the way Shane’s mind has always worked, and what becomes possible when he stops fighting it. It’s about love that makes room instead of taking space. About a rivalry that becomes partnership. And about what happens when understanding doesn’t just change a player, but reshapes the game itself.

    Because some legacies aren’t written in records.

    They’re written in who gets to stay.

    His first thought, when he finds her, is how much trouble he’s going to be in.

    Ilya has seen movies where people press their fingers to dead bodies’ necks and say “no pulse”, but he isn’t really sure what they’re doing, so instead he just watches, waiting for her to breathe. He waits for a long time, her blonde hair splayed out like a halo on the tile.

    Teenage Ilya’s years in Russia.
