    Summary

    "Don't get why we have to do that stupid thing at the beginning." Comeau sighed as he threw his jersey to the ground. "Waste of time. Just let us play hockey."

    Shane felt sick in his stomach as he heard noises of agreement and small subconsciously nods. He looked at J.J. - the only other person of colour in the room - and saw the distant horror reflected in his eyes. It's a different sort of privileged trauma to be third-generation Canadian, to have established roots in the country but people still assume you weren't born here. The generational trauma is softer, ingrained in their family in ways that others wouldn't even realize.

    Or

    The beginning of the end doesn't start with a bang, but with a small sigh. Shane and J.J. are two of the few men of colour in the MLH; that's not something they ever forget.

    Or or

    Rachel Reid said that Shane Hollander doesn't carry grief or trauma and I'm going to die mad about it

    Summary

    When Shane refuses to let his parents go to Montreal to watch Game 7 between the Ottawa Centaurs and the Montreal Metros for fear of retaliation, Yuna and David watch from home as the team their son sacrificed so much of himself abandons him on the ice.

    Meanwhile, social media finally reacts to the game in real time and the two shocking press conferences that follow, and a detailed article raises important reflections.

    Or,
    Will the author ever get tired of ranting about the Montreal Metros/Voyageurs being assholes? No, probably not.
    Now, with the social media reaction! (And Momanager Yuna preparing to take down the Metros)

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is benched following the fanmail video that outed his relationship with his rival Ilya Rozanov. While walking alone in Montreal he passes by a sports bar showing the Metros losing without him and he meets two unlikely companions.

     

    “Didn’t mean to interrupt,” says Shane in soft English, looking at the bartender only, “Uh, just saw the game was on when I walked by, wanted to know the score.” He swallows thickly, “Guess we’re losing?”

    The man who’d called him a homo ducks and with considerable effort, puts the table back where it had been before. He mutters something that Shane thinks is an apology to the bartender. The other man shakes his hand and reaches for a nearby chair. 

    In English, the man who’d called him the pride of Montréal says loudly, “A ginger ale for Monsieur Hollander, yes?”

    Shane hesitates, then nods at the bartender, who wordlessly starts to pour. The two men finish righting the place and gesture for Shane to sit with them. Shane shouldn’t. But he does as the bartender comes over and sets a glass of ginger ale in front of him. 

    “So,” says Shane as casually as he can, “Uh, I guess you’re both Metros fans?”

    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.
