    Summary

    The airport looks like it always does. A sea of people oblivious to anything going on around them. Ilya is about to put his headphones over his ears when he sees something so familiar his brain almost doesn't register it. That is until he realizes that he's in fucking Moscow so this doesn't make any sense.

    Because right there at the gate, spread out over several chairs, his duffle bag as a pillow, is the figure of Shane Hollander sleeping. The hood of his sweatshirt is up and he's wearing sunglasses, but Ilya would recognize the shape of Shane Hollander anywhere.

    “Hollander?” he asks in shock, stepping closer.

     

    Or, Shane shows up in Russia after learning Ilya's father died. Ilya did not ask him to do this. He just showed up. And now Ilya doesn't know what to do with himself. He proceeds to just go with it, and maybe listen to Shane for once.

     

    Another song inspired fic, this time Ever the Same by Rob Thomas which I argue is underrated.

    Summary

    “Do you want to try it with me?” Shane’s voice dropped, warm breath skating over Ilya’s cheek. His hands slid down, thumbs brushing his jawline.

    Ilya’s pulse spiked. “What?”

    Shane didn’t back off. He kissed Ilya’s jaw, slow, open-mouthed, nuzzling his neck. “Bottoming,” he murmured against the skin. “Letting me fuck you.”

    Ilya is forty, has a bad back, and is married to a man who was apparently ‘the best fuck in college.’

    Surely, he is not looking to be fucked at the glorious age of forty-one.

    He can be convinced, though. If his pretty husband begs enough.

    (Or: Ilya came to Shane’s college reunion to mock Canadians and eat free food. He did not come here to learn that his husband used to rail college girls into next semester.)

    Summary

    Ilya has a momentary flashback to the burn of vodka going down his throat as he chugged it right from the Stanley Cup, as he wished that Shane could’ve been there, that they could be together—and then the flashback ends, right as Ilya thinks he might actually be remembering something important. Whatever. He’s got Shane Hollander cuddling him, somehow. Maybe when he wakes up he won't be whatever the hell an "omega" is and he’ll be back in his own bed, which would be nice, but he’ll miss having Hollander here.

    Ilya Rozanov makes a stupid wish about having a family with Shane Hollander, and unfortunately, the Stanley Cup grants it.

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov spent his life surviving the wasteland alone. One impulsive button push changes that, and suddenly a 250-year-old, cryogenically frozen Shane Hollander is dropped into his life.

    Shane wakes to discover his world ended centuries ago. The new Commonwealth is cruel, irradiated, and dangerous in ways he can't understand. His only chance at surviving it is Ilya, a man who knows exactly how to survive it... and who has no idea what to do with someone who hasn't been broken by it yet.

    Somewhere between staying alive and finding purpose, survival starts to feel a lot like home.

    Summary

    It was him.
    Wearing his cross, his boxers, with his messy curls.
    “What the fuck.” He shook his shoulder harder, and the other man (the other him) did fall out of bed. He hit the ground with a thud and immediately started shouting.
    Ilya had wanted to ignore him; he’d wanted to pretend that this whole situation wasn’t real, but it was hard with the other Ilya swearing at him in Russian and shoving him until he finally cracked. Since they had woken up, they’d fought about everything, from breakfast and who could use the toothbrush to who was going to get to play against the Metros that night. Both of them stubbornly refused to mention Hollander.

    Or: Ilya wakes up next to himself on a day he’s supposed to play against the Metros.
