    Summary

    “-can’t see each other again,” Ilya says, looking only at Shane’s hand, holding it so, so gently and stroking over Shane’s skin so, so softly. The soothing feeling of it makes it very hard to focus, but Shane tries very hard to do it anyway. “I tried-we tried, but this can’t happen again.” It takes a moment, but Shane finally manages to make sense of the words, and he lets out a soft noise of understanding.

    Ah. He’s apologizing that he won’t be able to see Shane in the hospital again before he leaves.

    “I understand,” he says, and he does. It was probably really hard for Ilya to get here even once, and it can’t be very long before his plane leaves. He’s sad, of course–they didn’t even get to spend time together, really–but it’s not like this will be the last chance they ever have to see each other. He gives Ilya his best attempt at a smile, and if it comes out a little sad, too, all Ilya does is reach out to stroke the backs of his fingers gently over his cheek.

    (ilya goes through with his plan to break up with shane in the hospital) (the problem? shane is too high to understand that he's being broken up with)

    Summary

    Anya is lying on the rug instead of her little bed. She’s growling and whimpering and thrashing, though she’s clearly asleep. Something tightens in Ilya’s chest. His poor girl.

    He kneels next to her and carefully strokes her fur. “Hey, Anya. Hello my sweet baby. Is okay. Is only a nightmare. I am here.”

    ---

    Anya has a nightmare. Ilya and Shane sit with her.

    Summary

    Sometimes life came at you with a clenched fist and Ilya had never figured out how to duck.

    So here he was, twenty-eight years old, single, dealing with the fallout from injuries given to him by the game he loved, and the second youngest assistant coach in the league to one of the worst teams. Stability was hard to come by, but he was managing.

    Then along came Shane Hollander to knock him on his ass, one more time.

    Summary

    “We are in hell, surely,” Ilya complains, sweat beading at his temples as he flops down on the couch beside Shane. “Why is it so hot? Is this what we get for having gay sex?”

    Shane fixes him with an unamused stare. “Because it’s barely 10am, and it’s already 34 degrees outside. Oh, and the AC is broken.”

    “I am going to kill myself.”

    Summary

    Shane Hollander thought surviving his injury and leaving the Voyagers would be the hardest part.

    Turns out learning to believe Ilya Rozanov when he says, I choose you, is even harder.

    Or: Shane's comeback isn't going as planned, Ilya is hopelessly in love, and the road to happily ever after is full of hockey, healing, and far too many feelings. Also, perhaps it's time to finally tell his mom that he's in a relationship with his biggest rival.
