    Summary

    “Honestly, dude, you’re fucking handling this like a champ.”
    He’s not. He’s handling it the way he has to, the only way there is to handle it. “Well, I am champ, so.”
    Marlow chuckles.
    He sounds like he’s about to say something else heartfelt and misinformed, so Ilya flicks on the radio.

    Ilya gets outed fall 2014. Objectively it's good for gay hockey but it sure doesn't feel like it.

    Summary

    The first sound Ilya hears is a thin, discordant symphony of beeps and whirs. Something vibrating. 

    The next thing he hears is…wet. A sort of shaking, gargling sound, that feels like the ugliest crying he’s ever heard. And through it, Shane’s voice. 

    “I’m with him now, mom. He’s— he’s not fine. He’s not. I know—”

    Ilya wants to ask who's not fine, but he can’t feel his own body, his mouth, enough to ask.

    “Yeah,” Shane is saying, only slightly calmer. “I know. He wasn’t breathing—"

    Ilya knows there's a link, between the clinical musicality of medical settings, Shane’s audible, awful distress, and his own physical incapacity. It’s just, it’s so tenuous, and the air around him is so thick, so heavy. It would be easy, to sleep, a little. 

    -
    Footage of the last game between Ottawa and Montreal is everywhere; it’s breached containment from the sports world, and now it seems like everyone is baying for Montreal’s blood. Except, Ilya is oblivious. Not exactly blissfully so, but as the fight for accountability within the league rages on without him, Ilya just wants someone, anyone, to tell him what happened.

    Summary

    Ilya and Shane have always played the long game. Staying quiet, careful, and together, just not publicly. Not yet. Maybe not for a while. Later, they’ll have everything they want. Later, they told themselves. It was always supposed to be later. Then Ilya gets a call from Russia that changes everything.

    Within days, their carefully planned future is replaced with something much more immediate: Ilya's four-year-old niece, who needs them now, not later. Suddenly, later isn’t an option anymore.

    ----

    Or: Alexei and his wife are in an accident, leaving their daughter orphaned. Ilya is the only family she has left, leaving him with a life-changing choice

    Summary

    Would you chose me over hockey, Hollander?

    Now, with children in the middle, Shane has to make the choice between hockey and Ilya for real. And which one will he chose?
