    Summary

    "Nearly a decade into knowing him, Ilya has assembled a fairly detailed catalogue of knowledge about Shane—far more in depth than he will ever admit to anyone, especially to Shane himself. Coming to stay at Shane’s cottage for two weeks, Ilya is prepared to fill his mind with as many more facts about Shane as he is capable of committing to memory."

    or

    Ilya is obsessed with noticing things about Shane.

    Summary

    “I need to sleep,” Ilya murmurs next to him on the bed, his voice distant.

    “Yeah, me too,” Shane rushes to agree. His fingers drum against his glass of vodka and he chugs the rest in one go. “I should, uh…” He moves to stand up off the bed, the soiled towel dropping from his stomach, and his knees buckle.

    Shane stumbles but remains upright, his vision blurry. But the glass in his hands slips from his trembling fingers, and, to his absolute horror, shatters all across the floor of Ilya’s penthouse suite.

    ----

    After the hookup where Shane and Ilya didn’t kiss, Shane nearly passes out in his rival’s hotel room.

    Summary

    It starts, like any good small talk does, about the weather.

    Jane. I am dying.

    Shane is still in bed, spending his last hour before practice clicking endlessly through YouTube when he gets the notification. With no one there to see, he lets the smile settle comfortably as it spreads, and switches apps. He’s about to shoot down Ilya’s latest attempt at desperate seduction when another text arrives.

    I will play next game with no feet because cold took them.

    This... was new.

    Shane expects texts from Ilya to bring him to his knees. They do, but in another way instead.

    Summary

    “Thanks for all your help,” Shane says.
    “Yes,” Ilya says, releasing Marleau so he can sock him in the arm, eyes narrowed, “Whatever you did, even if it was sneaky behind my back—”
    “Hey, you might’ve been being stupid about having no distractions,” Marleau says, making air quotes, “but I’ve always liked Jane for you. If you were gonna get another chance…” He shrugs broadly. “I barely even did anything.”
    “Mm, did so little you did not even tell me he was coming,” Ilya grouches. He turns to Shane and asks, only slightly less petulant, “Why didn’t you tell me you were coming?”
    Shane’s face scrunches. “Because you’ve been so good at answering my texts recently?”
    “I… I’m sorry,” Ilya says feebly.
    Shane shakes his head, wishing he could reach out and comfort Ilya with touch, the only way he really knows how. “You chased me once,” he says, “I figured I could try it.”


    When Rozanov’s playing for the Cup in 2014, Shane decides that everyone, even if they’re kind of an asshole, deserves to have someone there to meet them on the ice after they win—if not a loved one, then at least someone who loves them. Shane figures that what he feels for Rozanov is close enough.

    Summary

    Hollander has a reputation for being a decent guy, if standoffish. He’s probably not going to laugh in Cliff’s face, call him a shitty friend, and hang up on him.

    “Hollander. I got the wedding invite. I hoped we could meet up before then. Do a bachelor party kinda deal.”

    Cliff can practically hear the gears turning in Hollander’s head. “For…Ilya?”

    “More for you, I guess. You and me.”

    The gears keep on grinding. “I don’t think that’s how it works.”
