Summary
“I am sorry,” he says. “I am not trying to fight. I just don’t like the idea of you not being okay and me not knowing, even when I am in the same place as you.”
That Shane can understand. He wouldn’t like it if their positions were reversed, after all, if he thought Ilya was potentially in danger and he was in the next room over drinking champagne and making smalltalk. He sees Ilya go somewhere in his head sometimes, sees him retreat inwards, sees him check out even if his body is still there, going so deep inside that he doesn’t even catch Shane’s eye for a bit even when something funny happens, too far away for Shane to reach him.
But it’s also not like he can just go up and grab Ilya by the arm and pull him away from the party, not without inviting speculation and a whisper storm. He doesn’t have that right, doesn’t have that privilege, to potentially need Ilya or be needed by Ilya and be able to just pull him away.
It’s moments like these that Shane feels the weight of their secret like a physical thing.

Summary
“Ilya, what are we gonna do?” Shane says.
Ilya finishes whatever he has been doing on his phone, and tosses it gently to the bed beside him. He crosses the room to Shane, stands in front of him, squeezes into his shoulders with his big hands, rubbing them like he means to warm them up.
“Looks like we will have a little vacation,” he says, with a big obnoxious grin.
Boston and Montreal are sent to Paris to play against each other in an exhibition series in January 2017. Ilya and Shane decide to stay in Paris for one more night. Just one more night, so they can talk. Maybe finally understand each other.
They aren't expecting a volcano to erupt in Iceland and close all the airspace in Europe, leaving them stranded there. Together.

Summary
Shane had spent the afternoon cleaning their home into a fragile lie, arranging charcuterie and worrying over cheese wedges. However, when the door finally opens, the evening does not stay pristine; it dissolves into the wreckage of ruined snack boards, alarming trivia failures, and the soft, pink intrusion of a baby's muslin cloth left on the sofa. Sitting thigh-to-thigh with Ilya, Shane watches their loud, hockey-centric world shrink down into the quiet warmth of a living room where they are allowed to just exist.
OR
Shane overthinks hosting duties, and they find out what it feels like to finally be seen as just another married couple.Series

OR
Shane is nineteen, horny, and terrified of making things awkward halfway through, and Ilya Rozanov proves exactly why stopping does not mean ruining everything.Series
