    Summary

    “I shouldn’t have told you this.”
    Ilya held Shane’s jaw like he did that first night and kissed him softly. “Yes, you should have, because I love learning new things about you, Hollander.”
    “That’s nice. Almost worth the embarrassment of telling you I tied a whole-ass tie for a quick hookup,” Shane said, opening his eyes.
    “Ah,” Ilya said, seeming to remember something, and opened a mischievous smile. “But I bet that was not the most embarrassed one of us felt that night.”
    “I highly doubt that.”
    “I bet I win,” Ilya sang a little.
    “This is not a competition,” Shane said. “Or if it is, it’s the weirdest one we’ve ever had.”

    Or: Five times Shane and Ilya share embarrassing early-relationship lore because the other needs to hear it, plus one time they inadvertently share it with the internet.

    (Fics in the series are standalone stories that share loose connections and references.)

    It’s an accident, of course, but his mind goes to the only place it knows how afterwards: He deserves to hurt too.

    Summary

    “Watch yourself, Rozanov,” he says in Russian, voice low and dark, and oh, holy shit, Ilya should have known teaching Shane his native language would be the death of him.

    “I would rather watch you.”

    Shane moves off the stool he’s been sitting on with one fluid movement. “Not now.”

    “Later then?”

    Shane rolls his eyes. “Pervert.”

    “Not what you said an hour ago.”

    Ilya feels Shane’s foot bump into his, and their thighs brush just barely. But it’s still enough to make Ilya want to abandon all of this and drag Shane back upstairs. “Behave, Ilya,” he says, slipping back into Russian. “You know they can't know.” He turns. The look he throws him is a little too close not to affect him. “We both want it that way.”

    Oh. Right. That.

    Summary

    Shane put God on a back burner sometime between the ages of eleven and twelve. It was around that time that he barely stepped foot off the ice. His dad would joke that he was born with skates on, while his mother cursed out a grown man for a bad play. God, religion, faith came second to the rush of adrenaline as he flew on the ice.

    It takes seventeen years and the love of his life being dead for twenty-eight minutes to relearn how to pray.

    -

    Or, Shane's game is cancelled and he reads Ilya's would have been last messages in a tiny hotel room with JJ and Hayden at his side.
