Summary
“...oh,” his mom says. “Oh, honey, you were seeing someone? You never said anything.”
“It’s-it’s complicated.” He catches the present tense too fucking late to do anything about it, and he barely resists the urge to either groan or slip forward to start beating his head against the coffee table.
Fuck his fucking life.
“You’re still…seeing this person?” His mom asks, and the amount of control he can hear her exerting is almost painful. “Who is-”
“Yuna,” his dad cuts in, voice quiet, “maybe give him a second, yeah?”
Yeah, Shane agrees in his head. Give him a second.
Maybe give him a decade while they’re at it.
(when shane's old fake id falls out of his wallet around his parents, he has to explain that it was to book hotel rooms before he was 21)
(...and then he has to explain why he needed to book those hotel rooms in the first place)

Summary
“You should probably uh…stay safe then.” Shane babbles, exhaustion driving away any common sense or rationality.
Throwing his head back, Rozanov laughs. It grows increasingly hysterical, until Shane can see unshed tears in the corners of Rozanov’s eyes.
“You say, ‘stay safe Rozanov.’” Rozanov pinches his nose as he says this and adopts a high-pitched tone. He crosses his arms over his chest and poses like he’s on a superhero poster, mimicking Shane’s Rolex ad. “But it’s hockey. There’s no way to stay safe.”
“I don’t sound like that,” Shane grumbles.
Rozanov tilts his head to the side. His pupils are dilated in the low light of Shane’s apartment and he shrugs, stuffing his hands in his pockets again. “We will test more next time. In Boston.”
It takes a year for Shane Hollander to realize that he's somehow magically protecting his rival, Ilya Rozanov, from harm. It takes another several years, and a lot of hooking up, for him to figure out why.

Summary
The prologue picks up mid-book 6, but rather than Brad posting the video to Twitter he sends it directly to the Montreal Metros. In this universe, Shane and Ilya are not outed to the world, but Shane is still kicked off the Metros team and transfers to Ottawa.
This fic follows Shane and Ilyas first year as teammates, settling into their lives together after getting secretly married over the summer. In this timeline, Shane learns to heal from the wounds of being outed to his team, Shane and Ilya get to ease into being a full-time couple before being thrust into the spotlight, and they get to navigate coming out on their own terms.
After a decade of the world being too hard on them, I just really wanted my favorite husbands to find a soft place to land. While the road is still long and difficult, this AU is all about putting them back in control of how they want the world to see them. It also gives so many more hilarious opportunities to watch other characters react to them coming out.
