    Summary

    ilya feels it when shane slams a gloved palm onto the ice to stabilize himself, echoing an earthquake through ilya’s skates and up to his sternum. his heart clenches with every heaving breath shane takes, bloodstained petals pouring past his lips. he’s hurting, and the need to hold him burns through ilya’s veins.

    ilya was supposed to protect him, but he didn’t even see the hit, only the aftermath, just marly skating slowly away with terror on his face as the ice gets painted red.

    or: it's april 2017, and cliff marleau just checked shane hollander into the boards. he doesn't break his collarbone, but he does start coughing up petals. a post-tuna melt hanahaki au.

    Summary

    Shane swallows. His mouth is dry from the wine. “Yeah.”

    Hunter’s eyes are molten in the low light. “Shane. Do you wanna come upstairs?”

    Shane is momentarily distracted by the way Hunter’s accent curls around his first name, but then the question registers and the realisation hits him like a lightning bolt. The words might be different, but the play is the same. I might open. I might knock.

    It’s a scene straight from his teenage daydreams, and it’s terrifying and electrifying all at once.

    “Yes,” he blurts.

    *

    After the unmitigated disaster that is their conversation in Sochi, Shane decides that he's done with Ilya Rozanov once and for all. Scott Hunter, eager to make amends for their fight on the ice, proves a convenient distraction.

    Reconciliation leads to realisations lead to a hotel room, and Shane ends up sleeping with Hunter on the same day Rozanov tells him we aren't anything.

    What he doesn't know is that Ilya's hotel room is right next to Hunter's. And Ilya is completely, totally, absolutely normal about this.

    Summary

    Ilya's father wakes him at four in the morning to tell him that he never had dementia, and that Ilya must leave Russia, right now, permanently. Forty-something hours later Ilya is standing in a township office in rural Ontario, marrying Shane Hollander for citizenship. Everything after that — the lawyer, the joint account, the wills, the drive up to the cottage — was never part of the plan.

    Alternatively: In the summer of 2016, Ilya must flee Russia, never to return. Shane makes a brilliant plan: marry Ilya to get him Canadian citizenship. It’s only after the wedding that they realize citizenship law doesn’t really work that way.

    Alternatively x 2: My inversion of the “married for citizenship” trope.
