    Summary

    His mom fills him in, standing with hunched shoulders in a cramped, too-bright hallway at The Ottawa Hospital. An illegal check into the boards; they were worried about a head injury, because Ilya wasn’t moving and he’s usually so, so hard to take down like that. But then his heart stopped, and they had to CPR right there on the ice to bring it back. To bring him back.

    Shane buckles, crouching against the wall with his head in his hands. His mom’s voice is fuzzy above him, her hair tickling his shoulder when she leans down to comfort him. Ilya’s heart fucking stopped. On the ice, in the middle of a game, he died.

    Or: Ilya goes into a coma after an accident on the ice. Shane figures out how to build him a life worth waking up for.

    Summary

    If Ilya Rozanov was set to be branded for life in the space above his butt crack, he was damn well going to pay a premium for it.

    Booking with one of the most exclusive tattoo studios in North America was the easy bit.

    Having his brain melted into oblivion by Shane Hollander’s steady hands and even steadier voice was decidedly not part of the plan.

    Or, the one where tattoo artist Shane is very good at giving instructions.

    Summary

    He closed his eyes briefly and felt Ilya’s hand lightly shake his own. “Shane?”

    He looked up at Ilya. Beautiful Ilya. Who had been so excited that the news was out. Who was ready to go public all these years while Shane had been a coward. Who was looking at him like he was a good person.

    Shane slowly unbuckled his seatbelt. The bubble had popped; a new reality was beginning. He offered Ilya a tight smile, and let himself be pulled from his seat.

    He didn’t want to leave the car.

    Or, Shane flees to the cottage after his and Ilya's relationship goes public.

    Summary

    “Shane, honey, I need you to take a breath, okay?” Yuna sighs through the phone. There’s a steady beep of Ilya’s heart monitor next to her and she watches it like a hawk as she listens to Shane break apart on the phone. She can hear him sobbing and gasping, wiping at his face but she knows there’s no stopping the tears at this point.

    When she looks at Ilya in the hospital bed it causes a pain in her chest. His blond curls were pushed back from his face and the sterile hospital lighting made him look pale and expressionless. Yuna ran her thumb over where she held his hand as she kept listening to Shane.

    “I just can’t believe it.” He cries and groans.

    (ie. ilya is in a bad accident while in ottawa and shane is out of town and not able to be there for him and it really puts things into perspective. set post-engagement during the long game.)

    Summary

    “You are my friend, Hayden, but he is the man I am going to spend the rest of my life with - he is the man that I love. I will choose him over you, every fucking time.”

    Over anything and everything, Shane would choose Ilya. Even over hockey, if it came to that. There’s no doubt in his mind, no question about it.

    Losing hockey would hurt, and Shane would grieve it, but it wouldn’t kill him. It would be an ache he could live with. Losing Ilya is not something that Shane could ever survive. They’re so tangled together - so intertwined - that to lose Ilya would be to lose himself.
