Summary
“Trust me, the urge to punch my sister has not changed since we were toddlers. I’m just a little more mature at dealing with it now. You literally listen to me complain about her all the time. You watched us give each other the silent treatment for several hours at Christmas last year.”
Hayden, considering this, hesitantly joined her at the counter to continue drying dishes. “Yeah, I guess when you put it like that. Its just that…you guys seem so close. You know... when you're not fighting.”
“Well I mean yeah. I would die for her, but I’d also like to kill her half the time.” Jackie said it so casually, like it made any fucking sense. Hayden didn’t respond—he didn’t know what to say. He just accepted that he’d never fully understand what it was like to have a sibling.
And then along came Ilya Rozanov.

Summary
Shane Hollander was a man on a mission: Prove that he was as much of a simp for his husband as, if not more than, Ilya Rozanov.
(Or four times someone notes how whipped Ilya Rozanov was + one time Shane Hollander showed the world that he was equally whipped)

Summary
The past few months had been a whirlwind for Shane and Ilya but they finally had everything they had only dared to dream of: living together, married, playing for the same team, and being able to love each other out loud. Shane couldn’t be happier.
Except, with all the time and freedom they had never been afforded before, Shane finds himself noticing things about his husband and reflecting on their past in a new light. Ilya has been through a lot but with each realization, Shane vows to make sure his husband knows how loved and supported he is now and forever.
(Loosely inspired by Noah Kahan’s song The Great Divide. Each chapter can be read on its own but they’ll ~hopefully~ flow together).

i think we’re alone now by myshangel

Summary
Shane flushed. They were out, now, and that meant they could engage in some light PDA when they were in public. But they both knew that that came with substantial risks, and that it couldn’t ever be like when they were alone. And in their house, their home, they were completely alone.
Ilya and Shane have spent their entire adult lives waiting to be alone together.
Or; five times throughout their relationship that Ilya and Shane were alone together, and one time they weren’t.

Summary
“I fell through the ice, one time,” Ilya murmured, “Skating on a lake. Playing hockey.”
”Oh, shit. Really?”
”Mhm.” Ilya nodded. He had never spoken about this to anyone. Ever. “It was maybe a few months after my mother died. Skating outside was very normal in the winter.”
”Pond hockey,” Shane said, and Ilya could feel him smiling softly against his chest. He imagined a teeny tiny Shane in his teeny tiny hockey gear, skating out onto a big Canadian lake. No wonder he grew up to be such a hockey machine.
“Yes. Exactly. Coach thought the ice was thick enough, but…”
But it wasn’t goes unsaid. He’d never spoken about this to anyone because frankly, he was embarrassed. Not for falling in, but for still being so fucking affected by it. Of course, it was terrifying at the time. What kind of twelve year old is equipped for that?

Summary
His mom fills him in, standing with hunched shoulders in a cramped, too-bright hallway at The Ottawa Hospital. An illegal check into the boards; they were worried about a head injury, because Ilya wasn’t moving and he’s usually so, so hard to take down like that. But then his heart stopped, and they had to CPR right there on the ice to bring it back. To bring him back.
Shane buckles, crouching against the wall with his head in his hands. His mom’s voice is fuzzy above him, her hair tickling his shoulder when she leans down to comfort him. Ilya’s heart fucking stopped. On the ice, in the middle of a game, he died.
Or: Ilya goes into a coma after an accident on the ice. Shane figures out how to build him a life worth waking up for.

Summary
The look on Shane’s face, even blurry and partially obscured by smoke, confirms everything Ilya had been thinking. He can hear an awful, keening sound, and realises with a shock that it’s coming from him. And fuck, it only serves to make Shane’s face crumple even more.
I have never been in a plane crash. A singular plane malfunction, in anyone’s lifetime, even someone who flies as much as him, is an anomaly. Two? Two fucking crashes? Those odds aren’t even worth calculating. Almost impossible.
He can hear Sveta’s voice in his head, Russian, sweet and warm like the honey tea her mother used to make for him: You don’t need to tempt fate, Ilyusha, she already has such horrid plans for you.
Or: The Centaurs’ plane crashes. Again. Shane has to decide what’s worse— Almost dying, or actually surviving.

Summary
Ilya could see the best of David and Yuna in Shane. It was magnificent, to see their love reflected and amplified in his fiance, but it also scared him. Was his own father’s crass disregard, his mother’s sadness, amplified within him the same way?
Ilya cleared his throat.
”I think I was unfair to you yesterday, David. I am sorry.”
David frowned, still somehow managing to look kind. His oatmeal had long been forgotten, though he’d been scraping his spoon around the bowl in the same way that Shane often did when he was too busy thinking to actually eat.
“Oh, kiddo. You don’t have anything to say sorry to me for.”
Or: Ilya tries to navigate love, and love navigates its way back.
