    Summary

    April 2017, Montreal. Shane is hit cleanly. Ilya drops his gloves, his stick, and his helmet; he is beside Shane before he has decided to be. He gets in the ambulance in his skates. He tells Hayden Pike why.

    The bloodwork comes back three days later. Cancer.

    What follows is the worst weather of their lives. They could crumble. They could run — they have both run before, they are good at it, and the year gives them a hundred reasons. Instead, they stand in it. They put their hands on each other and hold, and when one goes down, the other gets him up, and neither of them stays the strong one for long.

    Around them, holding too: a mother who will not sleep, a best friend who has to learn how to be a good one, a teammate who picks up the phone at three in the morning, a man down the hall in a red silk robe who has been loved, unafraid, and out for longer than Ilya has been alive.

    It takes a year. It costs them everything they thought they were.

    They come out the other side. Still chirping. Still each other's.

    Summary

    It's then that the alert comes though.

    It buzzes his phone lightly as the headline comes across the top of his screen, yet he only catches the words 'Ilya Rozanov' before the alert goes away.

    He clicks over to it, assuming it'll be a highlight from one of last season's games. They may not have won the cup that season, but they made playoffs. Shane was certain they'd get it this year.

    Only, when the article opens it doesn't say something like 'Ilya Rozanov, Best Goals Breakdown' or 'Ilya Rozanov, Craziest Come Back' instead it says:

    'Ilya Rozanov, Beloved Husband, Captain, and Friend. Dead at Thirty-one'

    OR
    Ilya takes a brand deal without Shane out of the country. Somehow, his plane gets diverted to Moscow, Russia. As an out, bisexual, man married to a gay man, it isn't exactly where he wants to be. Yet he has no choice, and when someone tries to kill him, he isn't fast enough to stop the news from breaking and his world from slowly crumbling around him.
    OR or:
    Alexei is a piece of shit, Ilya is presumed dead, Shane loses his fucking mind. It's all downhill for a while but thing's start looking up eventually.

    Summary

    “-moya rybka, I am sorry, sweet girl-” Ilya is saying, on his knees in the middle of their living room and patting the rug near him with what looks like devastation on his face as Anya continues to ignore him, curled up on Shane’s lap instead. Fresh off of several stacked events to fit them into a weekend–because Shane’s mom is nothing if not efficient when it comes to the deals she makes–Ilya got home only a few minutes ago, still in the outfit he’d left his Buzzfeed puppy interview in, which Anya had clearly not appreciated, sniffing him suspiciously after her initial excited greeting and then retreating to Shane immediately when he patted his thigh in welcome.

    Shane is trying not to be obviously enjoying Ilya’s turmoil as much as he is, shifting Anya to lay on her back like a baby in one arm and cooing at her.

    “I know, huh? Papa left and played with who knows how many other dogs, and the whole time you were here missing him. I bet he wasn’t even thinking about you, huh?”

    “Hollander!” Ilya says, sounding scandalized. “Do not tell her that! Is not true!”

    Summary

    Ilya hummed. “Have you told your parents?”

    Shane raised his eyebrows at him. “What, that I’m in the ER because I had my boyfriend’s cock so far up my ass that I started bleeding? No, I haven’t mentioned it.”

    “Shane.”

    “Ilya.”

    As he stares him down, other things start to sort themselves out in Ilya’s mind. It makes him uneasy. “You didn’t play well tonight.”

    Shane rolls his eyes. “Now is not the time–”

    “No, no, sorry. Is just… did you not feel well?”

    Shane shrugs. “The last few weeks I’ve been tired.”

    Tired. Tired, yes. He can see the evidence underneath Shane’s eyes. And as his own eyes travel down Shane’s body, something else catches.

    “You have a hickey.”

    Shane’s eyes widen. “Ilya!”
