    Summary

    “Hello Centaurs Nation,” the bright and bubbly voice of Ilya Rozanov spills out from the phone speaker, “I am Ilya Rozanov and I am very excited to join team for upcoming season!” He pauses, wielding his trademark wide, slightly lopsided grin like a media trained superweapon. “Today is only my second day on team, but day three of Centaurs Development Camp. As you know, Ottawa got second overall pick. Is very exciting, I have been watching all the Luca Haas clips. He will be something special, I know this.” There's a quiet jingle of car keys. He’d shot the video with his phone propped against the steering wheel of what appeared to be a Land Rover, and the video comes to a close as he turns over the ignition. “Anyway, I have places to be, so I will be seeing you all very soon. Bye-bye!” He offers a jaunty salute before his face smooths out and he focuses on finding the little button to end the recording.

    (Alternatively: Ilya Rozanov signs with the Ottawa Centaurs on July 1, 2018. It is, to some degree, a reckoning.)

    Summary

    Given everything, Shane allows a tiny hum of agreement. And then he waves for his men to not lower their weapons, but at least their temptation to fire. “Under decree of the statute made in the fourteenth year of the reign of King Louis the Fourteenth, all and every persons whatsoever hereby declared to be principal pirates, felons and robbers—”

    Rozanov lets out a loud, bored sounding noise that interrupts him. “Yes, Hollander, shall suffer pains of loss of life and goods and chattels. I have read it.” The hands that had remained at his side move suddenly, the men of the Voyageur flinching and arming their pistols in response, but only to be presented to them palm up. With another of those terribly mocking grins, he crosses them at the wrists as though already shackled. “I am sorry for betaking that wicked course of life,” he cites the statute verbatim, but with very little respect. “And I have decided to change my ways. I wish now to make my mother and whichever number King you are on very proud.”

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is a UFA on July 1, 2019 at 12pm Eastern. An Unrestricted Free Agent, or UFA for short, is a player of a certain tenure whose contract has ended and can sign with any team of their choosing. If it were anyone else, a player walking to his UFA day would strike fear into the fans and managers hearts. They could lose a player for nothing.

    On the morning of July 1, 2019, with Shane Hollander set to test free agency, the Montreal Metros and their fanbase aren't worried. It's well documented that Shane Hollander has always held out for the best deal, and being a free agent is his leverage. Everyone knows that he’ll sign another deal with the Metros.

    But maybe everyone is wrong.

    (Alternatively: the one where Shane Hollander finds out ahead of schedule that Ilya Rozanov is lonely.)

    Summary

    He could still feel it now, the warm-wet slide of Ilya's tongue as he licked a stripe from the sensitive skin on Shane's palm to the tip of his middle finger, shocking a laugh out of him. The head-rush of feeling how quickly his cock hardened against the warmth of Ilya's bare ass, Ilya's full weight bearing down on Shane's hips. The heat of the blush traveling from his cheeks all the way down to his chest in response to the smoulder in Ilya's eyes.

    Мой любимый, this is excuse to put sunscreen on my naked body, yes?

    Shane gnawed at the memories like a dog with a bone, allowed himself to get lost in them until he felt physically sick, at which point he realized that he needed to switch lanes to avoid hitting the fawn, still unmoving, still unblinking.

    After the Raiders v. Metros accident, Shane comes back different.

    Summary

    "What I'm missing in the daytime, I think my dreams are giving back to me. If that makes sense."

    "No," Hayden says finally. "Sorry. I don't get it."

    Shane is dreaming about someone he doesn't recognise. Shane is grieving something he doesn't know. Those two things are connected, somehow.

    Ilya is stuck in an airport. Ilya is stuck. Ilya is-
