    Summary

    “And you’re sure there’s nothing for you?” David says suddenly. “You’re not—you’re feeling okay? You’re not sick? Shane wouldn’t have any reason to think that you’re sick?”

    Ilya blinks and turns to him. “I am fine. Totally fine. Better than fine, even, before today.”

    “It’s just—Shane’s acting like you’re dying, Ilya.”

    “Not as far as I’m aware,” says Ilya. “And I do not think he would learn this before me.”

    The summer before Ilya joins the Centaurs, Shane wakes up nervous. It doesn't stop from there.

    in fucking credible holy fuck

    -

    Shane waits for a long time, actually. Until Ilya’s on the verge of sleep, until it feels like gravity is pulling him into the warm core of Shane’s chest. When he speaks, his voice is shaky and his arms pull heavier around Ilya’s chest.

    “I’m glad you don’t remember the dream,” he says. His lips find Ilya’s temple, the corner of his eye, then his cheekbone. He wraps Ilya’s hand up in his own.“You shouldn’t ever—you should never have to remember a thing like that.”

    Summary

    “Hollander’s Metros have had a challenging few years, with back-to-back knee injuries and a concussion keeping the two-time Stanley Cup winner and Olympic gold medalist off the ice for three consecutive postseason runs. Hollander is apparently back to fighting trim, but everyone’s wondering if that will still be true come April. The Metros have promised that they’re behind their franchise star one hundred percent, but there are signs they might be hedging their bets. The Metros announced last week that they have penned a deal with San Francisco’s dynamic young Russian star, center Ilya Rozanov. The move has sent shockwaves through MLH, as San Francisco was widely expected to sign a contract extension with Rozanov, who became a restricted free agent in June.”

    Ilya swears in Russian for a long time and then hangs up on Shane. As Shane, bewildered, lowers his phone from his ear, it vibrates in his hand. Ilya Rozanov: yes. And then, i’ll come. And then, i hate you.

    Shane stares at that last one for a long few seconds, thinking about the wild way Ilya had told Shane that he hated him, back after Shane had injured his knee. His tight-mouthed expression; his violently gesturing hands; the careful way he’d later run his fingers over Shane’s bruised, swollen knee. Shane translates the words in his mind, like he’s Rachel Weisz at the end of The Mummy transposing a dead language into a magic spell.

    Shane sends back, me too.

    When Shane mentioned that he would like to try weed, he expected Ilya to disregard it. Imagine his surprise when Ilya shows up a few weeks later in a fancy car with some surprises in the glove box.

    Her blood pulsed madly as she ran from floor to floor. Why had he come to Hartfield?
