    Summary

    Shane clung to him, shaking. Ilya’s lips pressed on his temple, his cheek, anywhere he could reach.
    'Listen to me', he said quietly,'They don’t know you. Not the first thing'. His thumb brushed under Shane’s eye, catching tears before they could fall.
    'You’re strong. You’re-' he huffed a soft breath, almost frustrated by the lack of adequate words, '-you’re everything. The best thing in my life. The best player in the league.'
    A pause. 'They didn’t deserve you in Montreal. Not for a second.'
    Shane mumbled something into his shirt, voice muffled and small.
    'I can’t hear you, baby.'
    Slowly, Shane lifted his head.
    His eyes were glassy, wide, lashes clumped with tears, face flushed and open in a way that made Ilya’s chest ache.
    'What if they’re right?' he whispered.
    The words hit like a punch.
    Ilya’s expression hardened instantly. 'No', he said firmly. 'No. You don’t get to believe that. Not even for a second'.

    Summary

    Team management e-mails him early in the afternoon, but it’s just after helping Jackie feed Ruby and Jade dinner, when Hayden has the chance to go to the bedroom and sit against the bed headboard, that he manages to see and read it. The language is polite but friendly, and the person writing it actually identifies herself as the lady from the team’s media relationship, Nathaly, which immediately makes the exchange feel more real. She calls Hayden by his first name too, which also helps. Hayden has read some official communication before, but they addressed the team as a whole, so he knows this is different. Nathaly is talking to him to know if there’s any way he might billet for next season.

    ***

    Alternate universe where Hayden was drafted two seasons before Shane and is three years older than him. He's not quite a veteran, but, somehow, he still gets picked by the Metros to house hockey's second coming of christ, Shane Hollander, during his rookie season. Shane never really leaves.

    Summary

    “I, uh, came to ask for a ride."

    Luca glanced sideways at Boodram, who was frozen with one arm in his jacket. It truly would have been hilarious, the way they all watched this scene unfold like a car crash, if it didn’t also feel like one.

    They shared a confused glance, turning back when Rozanov’s incredulous “A ride?” rang through the locker room.

    “Yeah, I, uh, figured I could use one since I just…quit the Metros,” Hollander said slowly, heaving an exhausted sigh afterwards.

    In which Shane Hollander overhears his teammates talking about him before a game and ends up in the Centaurs' locker room, asking Ilya Rozanov for a ride.

    Summary

    Week 2 Challenge Prompt: Shane comes out to Montreal Team.
    _________

    Shane comes out to Montreal during training camp after the summer at The Cottage. He does it before practice thinking he can just say it and it will be over. Rip off the band-aid. Private life is private no big deal.

    Unfortunately for Shane, he doesn't know he's autistic and the "panic attacks" he thought he had under control were really autistic meltdowns from an overwhelmed nervous system.

    When the tension in the locker room & practice creates a cascading effect in Shane's mind he experiences one of the worst episodes since childhood.
