Summary
Once the glow of the cottage fades and the boys have to head back to the real world, they have to start the long difficult year being separated before Ilya signs with Ottawa. Or at least that was the plan, until Ilya opened his mouth and accidentally got himself traded to Montreal. But it’s fine, just one year for Ilya in Montreal and then their 10 year plan is back on track… Right?
Through their year on the same team, Ilya helps Shane come to terms with the fact that his team kinda sucks, Hayden gets chirped into oblivion but still realizes that maybe Ilya Rozanov isn’t nearly as bad of a guy as he thought, and Hollanov come to terms with a new question they didn’t expect to ask.
Now that they’ve gotten a taste of living together and being on the same team, how are they ever going to give it up?

Summary
He'd made it halfway through writing the first note before it felt suddenly far too pathetic. Was this seriously the legacy he wanted to leave behind? No one would talk about any of his wins if he killed himself now. He would be the failed Russian team captain of the 2014 Olympics who couldn't handle the job and offed himself about it. His father would probably follow him in death just to yell at him for embarrassing the family, and Russia, and everyone who had ever rooted for him.
And when he had been made captain in Boston, he had promised his Bears he would get them a cup. He couldn't just leave without doing that. Didn't want to leave and let people think he was a liar, or that he just gave up when things got hard, lazy, useless, stupid boy.
He tore up the note he'd begun, and began his second plan instead.

Summary
The Boxing Day argument changes everything.
This time: there is no emergency Centaur plane landing. No moment of clarity. No grand realization waiting around the corner.
Instead, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov come to terms with the fact that they are not on the same page about their relationship. Ilya, the physical touch king, is ready to stop hiding. Shane, the reserved, this-needs-a-15-step-plan king, still needs more time.
So they break up.
Ilya throws himself into therapy, starts taking antidepressants, adopts a dog, befriends a very attractive new reporter, and develops a newfound commitment to living authentically. Shane is left wondering: what happens when hockey, the thing that’s always defined him, no longer feels like enough?
A canon-divergent story beginning after the Boxing Day argument in The Long Game.
OR: because my daddy Ilya deserved more than a plane-crash induced panicked proposal & my baby Shane deserved more than a social media outing.

Summary
Sometimes when she couldn't sleep at night and was listing out worries in her journal by her bed, Ilya came up.
Shane hadn't gone into detail about Ilya's family or his past in Russia but Yuna knew enough to form a very sad, very lonely picture.
Yuna knew Shane had been learning Russian, that David had surprised Ilya with shashlik and had been experimenting with other Russian foods when the boys had come for dinner. Yuna also knew it was quite possible that these things stung as well as warmed his heart.
Sometimes being faced with a portion of the thing you're missing, makes the absence of the whole feel that much bigger.
Yuna wrote down Ilya feeling that absence on his wedding day into her journal and bit on her thumbnail.
If people couldn't be provided, maybe something else from home could be.
