    Summary

    Ilya takes a deep breath, because Shane can’t know about today. Ilya didn’t tell him, so he can’t know. He blinks a tear from his eye, annoyed with himself.

    "You remember that awful Medovik we tried to bake for her 30th birthday? Disgusting! I remember how the filling seeped all over the kitchen table. And she pretended to like it so much, even though it was basically inedible. Salty and soggy – " Ilya hits the red button twice, presses his knuckles into his eye sockets, his blinking now utterly useless.

     

    Or: What if "never contact me again” didn’t mean no contact? Alexei leaves a voicemail every year on Irina's birthday.

    Summary

    For the rest of his life, Ilya wouldn’t remember what had happened after he had found his mother in that bed.
    For the rest of his life, Alexei would remember it all too clearly.

    Summary

    So when the team doctor asks him about his recent sleep habits, Ilya says, “Seven hours.”

    And the doctor hums and nods and says, “Well, that is a bit low, but I wouldn’t be concerned quite yet. Do you feel it is impacting your day to day life?”

    And Ilya says, “Yes.” And then he blinks, and says, “No. Seven hours this week.”

    Summary

    Ilya wanted his happy ever after, his HEA. He had had enough of “happy for now.” He felt so close. He was on a winning streak with his team, which included his husband. He had a dog and parents who came to their games in shirts stitched together, the backs reading Hollanov. He was so close, he could almost taste the Cup, the champagne. So when he wakes up one fateful morning in a bedroom that’s so familiar but also so far from his own, he can’t help but wonder what cruel fate the gods have given him this time.

    or

    Ilya gets swapped with an Ilya from an alternate universe where Scott didn't win the cup in 2017, there are no out gay NHL players and they didn't go to the cottage together. Oh and Shane gets stuck with AU Ilya.

    Summary

    Following the internet success of Shane and Ilya's presentation at the NHL Awards, ESPN decided to contract with them to do a whole series. It goes far better than anyone could have dreamed.

    -or-

    “When you think about it,” Jackie said, when Shane had dinner with her and Hayden a few days later, “hockey’s basically already reality tv.”
