Summary
“Uh,” he says, looking up from his screen and feeling his ears go hot, realizing for the first time that this habit of his hasn’t actually come up before until this exact moment.
“What?” Rozanov asks, sounding more amused than anything else. “You are one of the people who does Instagram for food now?”
“No,” Shane says, stalling between answering and finishing his Snap so he can send it to Melissa, “one sec.” He finishes typing out 'Tuna melt. Chips. Pickles. It smells really good. Swiss cheese, I think.' before he looks back to Rozanov, putting his phone facedown on the coffee table. “Just sending it to someone on the staff. She likes knowing what I’m eating.”
He doesn’t know if Melissa likes knowing what he’s eating, per se, but she also seems pleased when he talks about enjoying food for things beyond how many grams of protein it has in it.
“Ah,” Rozanov says, in a tone Shane can’t quite read. “You always send her your food then, this girl?”
(shane has a habit of sending his team's dietician his meals for approval) (the problem with this habit? he forgets to tell ilya exactly what it is that melissa does) (how the tuna meltdown is AVERTED through the power of miscommunication)

Summary
“I am out for the season?”
“Probably."
“Are you by any chance looking for a trophy husband?”
“Ilya.”
“Yes? No?”
“It’s one season, Ilya, we’re not—it’s bad because you’re hurting, not because—I’m not letting this fuck anything up for us, okay? We’ll figure something out,” Shane says, resolutely.
or, you know what they say about the best laid plans
ilya’s first year in ottawa looks a little different than originally planned, maybe sort of because he ends up spending it recovering a broken leg in his boyfriend’s apartment, but probably mostly because he meets jackie pike

Summary
There’s a sign in front of Shane. It says Welcome to Scott Hunter and Kip Grady’s Happily Ever After in a cursive font that makes Shane think of Etsy. Shane’s stomach churns. He briefly squeezes his empty ring finger. He feels, all at once, like he might cry. Instead, he swallows, and breathes, and pastes a smile on his face, and marches his ass down to Scott and Kip’s fucking wedding of the century.

Summary
Over the course of the three days, there are plenty of opportunities to tell Shane about Moscow.
There’s dinner the first night. They’re having pasta and salmon and Ilya’s whining about the amount of chicken and beef they’ll have to eat now that bulking season is approaching. Shane says well, they’re high protein foods. Like Ilya isn’t also a professional athlete who’s been doing this for just as long as he has. That’s not what he shoots back, though. He says, lamb is a great source of protein but we never have lamb. Okay, good lamb’s hard to find. You know what has lamb? Pelmeni! We should get Russian take out sometime soon, Shane says. I’ve always wanted to try. And always means nothing in this sentence, because always is only as long as they’ve known each other for.
Forget about take out, Ilya could say then. The best pelmeni can only be found in the motherland. Russia, Moscow! I am going there in ten days for a box of my dead-dad’s things and maybe, my dead-mother’s suicide note. But of course, he doesn’t.

Summary
“Sometimes, I wish he was a worse person,” Ilya admits one night, while he and Yuna are doing the dishes. Shane and Ilya had come over for chicken parmesan, and it had been a lovely dinner, right up until David, clearing the plates, mentioned that he had met a guy at the store the other day who was a big fan of Shane’s, had a kid who idolized him.
David asked if Shane could sign a piece of merchandise for him, maybe record a video. Shane said yes, because he had a rule, about doing things for child fans. Now, Shane was off shooting a video while Ilya did the dishes, and Ilya already knew the way it would require Shane to drag his public face up from the depths of his stomach, the work it would take him to shed it afterwards, the way it would taint this evening.

Summary
Ilya Rozanov likes blondes. This is a known fact. It makes things easier somehow—safer. Like math. Girls Ilya likes = blonde. Shane = not blonde. So Shane goes a little bit insane after seeing photos of Ilya on a date with a mystery brunette, and Ilya shows him why it's not an issue.
Featuring: yearning, sex as character study, Shane Hollander's under-examined biracial Asian feelings, a little light dominance, and a conveniently placed bedroom mirror.

It's actually with even more gay

In which Shane Hollander has the favour of the Honorable Siblinghood of Equipment Managers (or at least, the South-Eastern Canada regional meeting thereof) by ineptshieldmaid

Summary
The best players, Stefan's mentor had told him, are like racehorses: highly strung, and easily spooked. Hollander was the best of the best. And his career - the challenge of working with him and his particular routines - had elevated Stefan's standing in the Honorable Siblinghood, so it was as much professional debt as favouritism that had Stefan taking a particular interest in Hollander, by the time he came out to the locker room. Stefan expected to be working with him until one or other of them retired. [...]
If, after that, Hollander's skate laces were replaced before they started to wear thin, and if the new laces passed through the hands of at least two fully-sworn Senior or Very Senior Equipment Managers before they met his skates, that was within Stefan's discretion. He never even spoke of it, directly, to his team.Bookmarked by casualwordsmith (perksofbeingabandmember)

Summary
“Ah. Moy kotyonok,” Ilya smirked, “Is that why? You like when I call you my kitten?”
Shane buried his face in his hands. Maybe he did like it, okay? He would never admit that to Ilya out loud though. “It’s embarrassing when you say it like that.”
“No, no.” Ilya tutted, gently grabbing Shane’s chin and lifting his face up to meet his gaze. “Do not be embarrassed. I think you will be very cute cat.”
Shane’s eyes widened, “Really? You think so?”
Ilya nodded, “I can imagine it already. You, wearing your cat ears, drooling on my cock like it is catnip.”
Or, Shane is curious about a new form of giving up control in his life. Ilya is more than willing to give his husband whatever he needs.

"Sveta," he says, before she can greet him. "I think I'm about to do something very stupid."
"You're always doing something stupid," she laughs, her voice tinny over the speakerphone. "What is it this time?"
"I am in a staring contest with a bottle of pills," Ilya says. "And I think the pills might win."

Bookmarker's Notes
"And it’s fine. It’s not a problem. It’s normal, even, that Shane’s top priority in life isn’t Ilya. But it also means that Ilya can’t let himself rely on Shane, not really. It would be too hard, to expect help and not get it. Too dangerous. Like diving into a lake when you can’t see the bottom: Ilya isn’t certain that the ground won’t rise up and hit him, so he doesn’t dive at all."

Summary
“I always feel so safe with you,” Shane pants into the pillow as Ilya fucks into him. Shane flat on his belly on the bed, Ilya plastered on top of him like the world’s heaviest weighted blanket, their skin pressed together all the way from their knees to the nape of Shane’s neck. “So safe, so safe, I’m—oh, fuck, Ilya—“
By all measures, Ilya should be touched by this comment, if not wildly turned on. Instead, he finds he has to squeeze his eyes shut for a brief moment, hips stilling, to focus on thinking sexy thoughts so his cock doesn’t go soft.
—
Ilya has some issues with the notion of safety, especially as it applies to him.

Summary
“Do you – is there anything we can do?” Bood asks. “To help?”
Ilya shakes his head.
“Okay,” Bood says. “No problem. Do you want me or one of the others to stay here with you? Or would you rather be alone?”
“Alone,” Ilya says. His voice comes out rough. He clears his throat, but it doesn’t really help. “But maybe -” His face burns hot with humiliation at asking, but the thought of the house empty makes him shiver with cold even under the covers. “Maybe you stay downstairs?”
---
Ilya is having a bad day. Shane is out of town. That doesn’t mean Ilya is alone.

Summary
“H’rder,” Shane whines into his mouth, not even trying to interrupt the kiss but speaking pathetically muffled and slurred around Ilya’s tongue.
Ilya knocks their foreheads together, smiles.
“Nooooo Ilya, not before the game, Ilya,” he whines, a sweetly mocking imitation of Shane, “and now look at you, mhm? Why should I ever listen to your complaining, baby, when you’re gonna be such an easy, perfect slut for it anyways?”
Or: Shane plays four-dimensional chess to get Ilya to fuck him even when he tells him no, for Shane-typical control freak reasons, in Shane-typical convoluted ways, with Shane-typical unawareness of this being a sex freak thing. Ilya provides, of course.

“…I have so much leather to deodorize, Kip Grady. So many sports cars, you know.”

Summary
Shane exhaled sharply. "You know," he murmured, voice thick, "my favorite ways are this..." he arched again beneath him, emphasizing the point. Ilya’s breath stutters faintly at the flush contact before steadying, adjusting his position so the pressure stays even, intentional, controlled. He lets the reaction exist without letting it take over. "And having something in my mouth." The admission bloomed between them, lazy and warm, the kind of truth that only surfaced when he was this pliant, this boneless beneath Ilya’s touch.
Ilya’s fingers paused. "Something?" he echoed roughly. His thumb brushed the corner of Shane’s mouth, lingering. "Or someone?"
Shane’s lips parted around a breathless laugh, catching Ilya’s thumb between his teeth for a brief, teasing nip. "Both I guess. Like my mouth guard, pen caps, hoodie strings…" His tongue darted out to soothe the spot he’d bitten. His hips shifted restlessly beneath Ilya’s weight, the movement deliberate. "Your fingers. Your cock. Just..." he swallowed thickly. "Just want to feel something there. For a while."
