    Summary

    In which the 2019-20 season gets cancelled because of a labour dispute between the MLH and the Player’s association. Shane can’t live without hockey, and Ilya can’t live without Shane - so they sign for a team in Switzerland’s National League, hoping for some more privacy and more time together.

    Instead, they find a team, a city and a kind of freedom they have never had before. Which makes it just that much harder to leave it all behind again.

    *Now complete with a Bonus POV-chapter at the end!*

    Summary

    “You sure you want to do this, Cap?” Wyatt asks, as if he doesn't have two shimmering streaks of still-wet eye black smeared across his cheekbones. His teeth are bared, and Ilya is consumed—not for the first time—by how much he loves Wyatt Hayes and his willingness to commit. From being a brick wall in goal to aiding him with the rescue of his beloved husband, Wyatt has always been there for him. “Looks like it'll be dangerous.”

    “Shane has been kidnapped,” he says, as the minivan that Bood drives screeches into the parking lot and another car full of teammates spills out onto the cracked pavement. “Danger is nothing when it comes to saving him.”

    OR: Hayden Pike has stolen Shane away. Ilya, and a good amount of the Centaurs, take issue with this.

    Summary

    The NHL changes the playoff format, hoping for more rivalries, more chaos, and better ratings. Instead, they accidentally create the worst possible scenario for Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov: a legitimate chance they could face each other in the Stanley Cup Final.

    Naturally, Ilya responds by making a bet.

    “If I win the cup this year,” he says, “then I get to kiss you in front of the entire arena.”

    Shane fully expects the universe to stop them before it ever becomes a problem. The universe, unfortunately, thinks this is hilarious.

    ----

    Or: the year after Scott and Kip's infamous Stanley Cup kiss, the NHL just so happens to make it possible for Boston and Montreal to meet in the finals, giving Ilya the perfect idea...

    Summary

    Shane stared down at his hands. He was almost certain that J.J. was there to ask him about Ilya, which would be the perfect opportunity to tell the truth. The thought of that felt like a large weight had settled on his chest, but Shane tried to ignore it. This was the first test of whether he was brave enough to do what Ilya deserved. Coming out to the Centaurs had been terrifying, but even after knowing them for only a couple of hours he’d been confident that they would accept his and Ilya’s relationship.

    Shane had known J.J. for a decade, and he still wasn’t sure what to expect.

    Or, a continuation of my "what if Shane hadn't left after the argument on boxing day" ft the almost plane crash, Hayden and J.J.
