    Summary

    Shane pulls back, carefully cradling Ilya’s face. “Maybe we shouldn’t.”

    “You don’t want to?” Ilya’s eyes are bottomless; swimming with grief. He says it like he really means, You don’t want me?

    “That isn’t what I mean,” Shane says gently, brushing his thumb over Ilya’s cheekbone. Ilya’s eyes flutter shut, as if being treated so tenderly causes him physical pain. Like he isn’t used to it. “You’re hurting. I don’t want you to regret it in the morning.” 

    Ilya’s eyes open. “I have never regretted a moment with you.”

    Summary

    Newly traded to the Ottawa Centaurs, Ilya Rozanov is so close to having everything he’d never thought he was allowed to want. He can see the man he loves more than four times a year, he’s surrounded by a team who supports him through his injury, and Shane’s parents have unhesitatingly accepted him as part of the family.

    Except his lingering concussion symptoms have kept him sidelined from hockey, his boyfriend is still two hours away, their schedules are a disaster, and Shane’s team is, well…it’s full of assholes. There must be a way to make this all work out.

    or

    A sequel to a whump fanfiction with more whump…that is also, secretly, a fix-it.

    Summary

    This time when the phone rings, he’s ready. Ready in the only way he knows how to be, the way he would be on the ice: breath coming sharp, heart beating fast, adrenaline dripping. He’d known Shane would call again, the way he’d known Shane would get back on the ice in Detroit, wearing his shoulder injury like a badge. Shane can be very stubborn, sometimes. Shane should know better, this time. Ilya can’t be held responsible for whatever comes next. He picks up on the fifth ring.

    “This doesn’t have to be so difficult,” Shane says. He doesn’t sound angry. Mostly, he just sounds tired.

    Ilya laughs, manic around the edges.

    “I am not supposed to be easy for you, Hollander,” he says, “Big arch rival. Haven’t you heard?”

    Summary: Set during the timeline of the show, from the situationship era to the cottage. Over the years, Shane and Ilya learn how to talk to one another - bodies first, voices second.

    This story is complete with six chapters, and will be updated regularly.

    “How can Montreal be snowed in?” Ilya asks. “They are not ready for winter?”

    “It’s Montreal, man,” Marleau snickers, like that's an explanation.

    ________

    After Ilya leaves Shane’s apartment for the first time, he knows he’s on thin ice and at risk of falling into more serious feelings. He’s ready to put distance back between them.

    A Montreal blizzard has other ideas.
