    Summary

    There were, maybe, worse places than Ottawa. Troy wouldn't know. Ottawa seemed pretty high on the list of shit places to be. It was clearly intended as retaliation for his outburst.

    The list of good things about Ottawa could be counted on one hand. The Mediterranean place near the hotel the Guardians tended to stay at was spectacular. Troy always hoped there was enough time he could stow away and scarf down some hummus. The locker rooms had stalls that were just an inch or two wider than the ones at other stadiums, and that meant both his shoulder pads and knee pads could be hung up in a row instead of staggered. They were an easy win.

    And Harris lived there.

    AU where Troy meets Harris a few years earlier.

    Summary

    Weeks later, when the news finally breaks, the headlines will call it a “catastrophic brain injury”.

    They’ll analyze the hit from every angle, trying to find just what went so wrong. It was clean, it was legal… and yet it somehow slammed Shane Hollander into the ice hard enough to end his career.

    -

    or, another take on shane’s injury in episode 5 being much, much worse.

    Summary

    He was walking to his Jeep when the stench of cigarette smoke hit his nose. A few feet away, a tall, broad shouldered figure was standing, back to Shane, watching the sunset. Propped against the wall next to him was the bi-pride flag emblazoned sled.

    “That was a great game.” Shane said, taking a couple steps in the direction of the sledge hockey center. “You’re an amazing player to watch, but you’re really not supposed to smoke here.” The man stiffened and then pivoted slowly towards Shane. Backlit by the setting sun, his facial expression was indiscernible.

    “Oh my God Hollander, you are so boring.”

    Ilya was dead.

    Or at least, Alexei Rozanov said he was. Even after two years, Shane still hoped to see him again. He never imagined reuniting in the parking lot of a community center in suburban Ottawa.
    *
    A family emergency means Ilya and Shane never meet in Las Vegas. In Russia, Alexei uncovers Ilya's sexuality and attacks him, inflicting grievous injuries. Ilya escapes with his life, but is forced into hiding, seeking refugee status in Canada where he builds a quiet, but meaningful, existence.

    The only problem: even two years later, he misses Shane Hollander.

    Summary

    Harris clears his throat. “There is one more part to this. They also were hoping that after you do your intro you’ll goof around with their mascot, Gritty, on the ice for a bit.”

    Shane rolls his eyes, not that Harris can see him over the phone, but still.

    Clocking the silence, Harris continues, “He’s the most popular character in the league, you know. He has more followers on socials than some NHL teams. Within 24 hrs of his reveal he was tweeting death threats at Pittsburgh’s mascot. Having a Gritty moment could be really good exposure for the foundation.”

    “Can’t Ilya do it? He’s good at threats," Shane says morosely.

    **Shane and Ilya are ready to share their relationship with the world, and everyone has a different idea of how to make it happen. It’s a high pressure situation, and they are both so over it. Still, despite the craziness of their lives, Shane never thought that the big reveal would come because of Ilya’s jealousy towards a 300 pound, 7 foot tall, googly-eyed orange muppet, but here they are…

    A love letter to always being there for your partner, even if that includes starting a fight with the opposing team’s mascot.
