    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander think they’re being subtle.

    They are not.

    A series of outsider POVs (from taxi drivers to hot dog vendors) who all, independently, come to the same conclusion.

    Update: All the chapters are independant so I will add some chapters when I have new ideas!
    This work is now part of a series, check out “All the Proud Witnesses” to discover the sequels to the previous POV stories!

    Summary

    After the events of It Takes a Village, Shane must navigate how to move forward in his career when the team he has grown to love ultimately sets a ceiling on his growth. In another life, he would have won his Stanley Cups with the Metros, been their star center and Captain, and the face of a franchise. Here, he is second line to New York's beloved captain and one of his best friends, Scott Hunter. He knows that to grow, he has to move on, but leaving the family he found in New York might be the hardest challenge he's faced yet.

    This is a sequel to It Takes a Village and will not make sense without having read that work first. If you haven't read it yet, please do! For those who have read and enjoyed ITAV, I hope this sequel does it justice <3

    Summary

    "After an hour of breathing exercises, retracing what he had learned about himself and others, he opened his Notes app:

    want:
    Ilya
    Stanley Cups
    Awards

    not doing:
    Dissociating
    Making myself small to make others comfortable
    Waiting ten fucking years

    Watching the clock, the time he had been waiting for was finally there.

    Time to remind Ilya where the smoking area was."

    Or

    In 2021, Shane and Ilya are sent back to 2008. And they are determined to do it better this time.

    Summary

    “I feel really good about this kid, I think he could be great on your wing, he just needs some help settling in. Someone to show him the ropes.”

    “Yes.”

    The line went silent for a moment. Ilya wasn’t really sure why his coach felt the need to run this by him.

    “Rozanov,” his coach said at last. “I want him to live with you.”

    Ilya blinked, then nearly shouted into the phone. “What?”

    or, Ilya stays in Boston, gets a rookie, and tries to figure out how to make a secret long distance relationship work while there's a Russian teenager in his house
