    Summary

    And so Shane steps into the Voyageurs' locker room, Luca on his heels, leaving the door open just a crack so Ilya and the others can hear what's going on.

    The room goes quiet immediately, all faces turning to Shane in shock.

    Hayden's the first to react, scrambling up from his stall, eyes wide. "Shane? What's going on?"

    "I just wanted to see if any of you were willing to talk? So quiet on the ice today. I thought you'd have things to say to me, all things considered." Shane sweeps his gaze over his former team, uses his disappointed-Captain-voice and feels a smidge of smugness when it clearly hits them as it always has. "So say them to my fucking face, not behind my back."

    Summary

    Maybe there was someone on the other side of that door, in the other room, waiting for Shane and Ilya to start so they could listen. Maybe there wasn’t.

    But Shane didn’t know.

    Ilya was looking at him, steady and dark-eyed, and arousal was running through Shane’s veins like fire and Ilya hadn’t even touched him yet.

    “Ilya,” he said, a note of begging in his voice already, and that was all Ilya needed before he was kissing Shane hard.

    [Ilya sets up a scene. Some familiar faces overhear.]

    Summary

    They’re in Boston on Ilya’s couch when it happens. They’ve lapsed into a comfortable silence, a muted game on in the background, Ilya’s head in Shane’s lap and Shane’s fingers in his hair. Ten minutes ago, they were tugging and twisting and curling; four minutes ago, they grew slow and tepid. When they go entirely still, Ilya turns in his lap to look up at him, ready to chirp him for falling asleep, but his breath catches in his throat at what he finds instead. Shane is not asleep, but he is not awake either.

    While visiting his boyfriend, Shane has a verbal shutdown in front of a woefully-unprepared Ilya for the first time.

    Summary

    When he was seven years old, Shane Hollander was briefly lost at an airport. Luckily, the kindness of a stranger ensured he made it back to his parents safely, putting an end to a terrifying three hours for the Hollanders. It takes twenty years (and one heated rivalry) for Shane to learn the name of his rescuer. It takes twenty years for Ilya to learn his wish had already come true.
