   Summary

   Shane watches helplessly as Ilya is sent headfirst into the boards, spine twisting, skates lifting off the ice as his body folds under the force. The sound of impact is thunderous and wrong - echoing - louder than the crowd, louder than the goal horn, louder than the pounding of his heart against his chest, as Ilya’s body finally crumples into the ice.

   Ilya had no time to brace, Shane knows he had no time to brace because Shane had no time to brace.

   And he’s not moving.

   “Ilya!”
