Summary
Spanning from the plot of 'Heated Rivalry' season one to beyond the ending of 'The Long Game', beware of potential spoilers for canon developments.
There are no AUs in here, just the sand filling in existing or potential gaps between story beats.

Summary
Ilya was used to hazing. He had been subjected to it, he had participated in it, and, as a captain, he had stood guard over the rookies and protected them from anything truly harmful. But if he had been asked, Ilya would have approved of this prank. He would have authorized it, given Cliff and Vicky his seal of approval, perhaps even helped orchestrate it.
Any other day, Ilya might have been happy to play along.
But, in perfect dramatic irony, it had not happened any other day. It had happened today. And, cherry on top, of course the rookie had to walk in when Shane was already freaking out about Ilya saying his name.
+++
A prank-gone-wrong leads to the Boston Bears finding out about Shane and Ilya’s relationship in 2016. The day Ilya first invited Shane into his house. Right after they say each other’s names for the first time. Fuck his life, honestly.

Summary
Shane Hollander is hockey’s closeted golden boy with everything to hide. Ilya Rozanov is a professional Dom with everything to lose and an expired visa.
Through their arrangement at a discreet Montreal kink bar, where NDAs protect secrets and sessions are charged per hour, they discover the most dangerous thing isn’t being caught—it’s wanting more than those hours allow.

Summary
Ilya lowered her towards his face, giving her exaggerated kisses on her cheeks. That sent her into another laughing fit. She babbled before eventually saying the word Ilya loved to hear. “Papa!”
“Good job, printsessa,” Ilya encouraged. “Papa is so proud of you.”
Shane watched, a smile forming on his lips. Moments like this he couldn't imagine that this was the same man who had been known on the ice to be an instigating asshole. The man laying beside him had a look of pure adoration on his face as he watched his little girl babble at him.

Summary
In which the 2019-20 season gets cancelled because of a labour dispute between the MLH and the Player’s association. Shane can’t live without hockey, and Ilya can’t live without Shane - so they sign for a team in Switzerland’s National League, hoping for some more privacy and more time together.
Instead, they find a team, a city and a kind of freedom they have never had before. Which makes it just that much harder to leave it all behind again.
*Now complete with a Bonus POV-chapter at the end!*
