    Summary

    This thing that they have—whatever the hell it is—it’s good. It’s easy. It feels like the only thing keeping Ilya afloat sometimes.

    He can’t let it get to a place where it’s more than just a good, convenient fuck and some fun teasing in between. Even if sometimes, in brief moments of tenderness, it already feels like it’s more than that. Or at least like it’s something that can be, if they just let it.

    But they don’t. They can’t.

    Although sometimes, Ilya does find himself giving in to the urge to look at Shane just a little bit longer, to let his touch be just a little bit gentler, more reverent, than what it would be for something as casual as they claim this to be—albeit sparingly.

    Sometimes, just for a moment, he lets himself indulge. He lets some of that affection bleed out of him because he feels like he’ll implode if he doesn’t.

    But he always catches himself before it can linger.

    Summary

    “We could’ve had everything,” Shane admitted softly.

    The confession hurt more than he expected.

    “A real relationship. A family. A future.” His eyes drifted toward the planes outside again before he exhaled slowly. “But dreams eventually end.” A small, tired smile pulled at his mouth. “And this is me waking up.”

    Summary

    "I just—I should be thankful we haven’t seen this side of him on home ice, eh?”

    Ilya frowned at the comment. “What do you mean?”

    “Shane’s captain voice is very different from his teammate voice.” Wyatt shrugged simply. “He’s a lot more proactive here. And louder. He sees everything and he doesn’t hesitate to point it out. But at home, he leaves that to you and Wiebe and Bood.”

    OR

    Shane has some scars from his time with Montreal that still linger. It takes Ilya a hot minute to stumble onto the fact, and just a little longer to confront it head on.

    Summary

    Ilya: Are you waiting for my plane to leave, Hollander?
    Jane: No
    Ilya: So we leave the cottage and you don't want to be honest anymore?
    Jane: Ok fine. I am. Is that silly?
    Ilya: No. I am taking photos of birds just to have something to talk to you about.
    Jane: You can always talk to me
    Jane: And you can always be honest with me. We should probably try to keep that cottage honesty thing going as long as we can?
    Ilya: Ok

    Or: It's 2017, and Shane and Ilya need to figure out how to be long-distance boyfriends. Most of the time all they can do is text each other.

    (Fics in the series are standalone stories that share loose connections and references.)
