    Tampa Bay, Room 1217 missing scene
    Between tears, laughter, and sex, Shane and Ilya find their footing again, and start to make room for something more.
    Slots right into the missing space in Episode 5 and is canon compliant.

     

    Please note: this is a version of Chapter 3 of Hard Bruises for everyone who was not interested in canon divergence but still wanted the scene in Tampa Bay. Hard Bruises includes the Montreal Club AU scenes and much longer Tampa Bay chapter. If you have already read chapter 3 of Hard Bruises, you're set :) Nothing here will surprise you too much.

    Summary

    An open door was hardly an invitation for a man like Shane—someone who navigated life by second-guessing, who agonized over every choice laid in front of him.

    But maybe that was the point

    Maybe that was Ilya’s part in his life—Shane’s reckoning with letting go.

    Or an AU in which Shane and Ilya are roommates, Ilya has an OnlyFans, Shane works at the boxing gym, and everyone around them thinks they’re already married.

    Summary

    "Would you still want to do this?" Ilya asked, pulling Shane from his spiral. "With me?"

    The unspoken, "If we're discovered, if they kick us out of the league, if it means we can never play hockey again, if it means you could never play hockey again," hung between them.

    In Ilya's eyes, something new sifted to the surface, something Shane had never seen in him before. Unguarded, vulnerable, a young boy asking, "Are you as scared as I am? Will you jump if I jump? Can you hold my hand as I do it?"

    Summary

    Ilya has had plenty of sex. That's no secret to anyone. He had long since confessed to Shane that sex with him was always special and different, and that he's never felt like that with anyone else, but the self doubt that lives in Shane's mind had told him that you can never be too sure.

    But he can be sure of this: Shane Hollander is the only person on earth who has ever fingered Ilya Rozanov. They had had the conversation when Ilya first asked to try bottoming. He had never trusted anyone to see him like this. He didn't want to feel vulnerable. But Shane is different, he had said. He knows Shane will take care of him.

    (aka: hollanov switch for the first time and its very sweet and sappy)
