    Summary

    “Oh my god, Rozanov, it was your last day being 22, that’s what you meant earlier!”

    “Da, you caught me. So… I should make a wish, no?”

    “I’m sorry, I… I kinda wish I had a present for you now.”

    Rozanov shakes his head. “No, Hollander, come on, this is stupid.”

    “It’s not. And yeah, you should make a wish.”

    “I don’t know what to wish for.”

    Shane clicks his tongue. “Is this your way of rubbing your Stanley Cup in my face? And the MVP award? Or just bragging about having everything you want?”

    Rozanov’s eyes drop, more seriously than Shane expected, before looking up again. “Not everything I want.”

    -----

    OR: Shane and Ilya both stay in Las Vegas for another day and a half after the MLH awards in 2014. Coincidentally, it’s Ilya’s birthday, and he secretly wishes for a kiss from Shane. Will the birthday gods grant his wish?

    Summary

    (Chapter 1) What if Cliff Marlow, after Ilya came back from visiting Shane in the hospital, put his detective cap on and sleuthed out more than Ilya was prepared for?

    (Chapter 2) Perhaps Ilya, in bed with Shane at his cottage months later, finally shares this detail with him. Which perhaps encourages other unspoken details to be shared, and some fantasizing about who else they would like to tell. On purpose this time.

    (Chapter 3, 4 and upcoming 5) Perhaps the late night fantasizing snowballs into an actual plan. A labour day weekend party where they surprise everyone that matters to them (Marlow is also invited). For better and for worse.

    Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps…

    Summary

    5 Times Ilya Plans to Propose to Shane + 1 Time Shane does it Instead -

    Ilya knew it was too early to propose to Shane, he knew that. His beautiful, boring boyfriend might’ve planned out the next ten years and beyond retirement, but Ilya also knew that Shane was not great with unexpected changes. If Ilya moved too quickly with this, he would spook Shane and that was the last thing he wanted to do.

    Still – Ilya felt ready for this. He knew Shane was the one for him, his forever.
    ----

    or: It's Ilya's last season with the Raiders before he moves to Ottawa, he knows, Shane knows, the management knows. In just a few short months, his life has changed so drastically - he get's to call Shane his boyfriend now. But he Does Not Want That, No, he would much rather call Shane his Fiancé instead. So he takes it upon himself to make it happen. Only, it doesn't go as planned. So he tries again - and something else comes up.
    This is five times Ilya plans and tries to propose to Shane - and one time Shane does it instead.

    Read: While this is part of the series, it can be easily read as a standalone. Takes place throughout Ilya and Shane Explore Boston and beyond.

    Summary

    This is a transcript of an interview Ilya gave in 2023 to the Russian youtube interviewer and journalist Yuri Dud’.
    [Dud’ is famous for his thorough yet friendly talks with influential people (e.g., Navalny, Zadorov, a Russian hockey player, etc.). His interviews take place in different locations and address all kinds of topics — from politics to personal life. Dud’ has openly criticised the Russian government and has been convicted in Russia for his views. Luckily, he had left Russia. Some of his interviews have English subtitles / are translated to English. I strongly recommend checking out his youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/@vdud/featured]

    Or:

    Deep-dive into music, culture, and nuances of eastern European housekeeping rules. Most of them are annotated and explained. Why am I qualified to write this? I’m an occasionally depressed queer person with a Russian passport, born and raised in St. Petersburg, now living abroad.

    This is a combination of canon, funcanon, and headcanon.
    Ilya and Dud’ speak in Russian, Shane speaks in English, if not stated otherwise.
