    Summary

    “Have you ever considered that he might be… I don’t know, into you?”

    Shane almost spat out his beer in response, but ended up choking instead. He went into a coughing fit, catching Rozanov’s attention, who threw a glance and a smirk his way. Shane replied to that reaction with a scowl. This is just fucking great, isn't it? “What the fuck, Rose? He-He's not even gay!” he hissed.

    “You don't know that! And, sometimes, you two look at each other in a way that makes me unsure whether you wanna kiss or kill the other. We all know you’ve tried the second option a few times. Have you tried the first?”

    OR

    Rose's favorite hobby is playing matchmaker for Shane. However, Shane didn't expect her to try to set him up with Ilya Rozanov of all people. Things between them are... complicated. Much more complicated than Rose even knows.

    Summary

    "Someone did this to me."

    Ilya can only nod, knowing that there's not much else to say. What comfort can he offer, when he can only imagine the turmoil that Shane must feel?

    "You're safe now," he offers, hoping that it can offer some measure of solace.

    Shane's eyes flit back to him, wide and swallowed up by a tangle of emotions.

    "I always was," he says, his voice hushed. "You were there."

    • • • • •

    Shane is drugged by heat inducers at the club, and Ilya is there to help him through it.

    Summary

    Rose Landry went to theatre school. And had an astounding number of gay boyfriends to show for it.

    Honestly, sometimes it felt like a curse to her. And now, with Shane Hollander, she had the bad feeling that it had struck again.

    Set during Episode 5.

    --

    Rose Landry is reflecting on her 10 boyfriends, 70% - no, make that 80% - of which have left her for other guys.
    Because nobody can tell me that girl hasn't had some kind of crisis with THAT track record.

    Summary

    He needs to move, maybe get Rozanov’s attention before he loses his nerves.

    And then the room tilts. His vision narrows, red light smearing into pink and white streaks. Shane staggers. The beer slips from his fingers. It shatters, foam splashing his shoes, glass skittering away. His knees give out like someone kicked him, and his hands shoot forward to hold himself upright.

    His left palm lands in broken glass, though he doesn't feel it. What he notices is the certainty that everyone sees, that they can smell him—something sour and wrong. His scent, despite patches and care, has turned exposed.

     

    OR: What if we took the club scene from episode 4 and had Shane collapse from experiencing Omega Rejection Syndrome after seeing Ilya dancing with someone else?

    Summary

    A 5+1 of Ilya and Shane finding their space together.

    Can't get the puck to the net if you're always skating backwards, too afraid of taking a hit.

    It took them so long to get here and now that they are, they must take the next step -- learn to face other people, emerge from their safe, secluded bubble and let other people in. Push through the fear.

    Summary

    Hunched over for the face off while avoiding the shameless eye contact, the Canadian Hockey star tries to not let his expression give away the fact his heart is racing at the proximity of the Boston Captain, memories of their last heated encounter plaguing his thoughts. Given the growing smirk on his opponent's face from the corner of his eye, he must be failing miserably for the other to have some suspicions, despite the already forming denials coating his tongue.

    He can try to lie to Rozonov, try to downplay his poor poker face that the Russian may or may not buy. If luck were on his side, he might even have a good shot to make it out of this game with a win and at least some of his dignity intact.

    But such wagers mean little when one person, miles away, knows exactly what his heart is doing right now.

     
    Shane Hollander and Kip Grady have carried a secret that pulls them intensely together while fearfully shying away from anyone who gets too close to learn the truth....or to come between. Though two determined Hockey Captains might just have their defenses weak enough to consider making a bit more room.

    Summary

    Shane can’t fucking believe this.

    He knew it was a mistake the second he told Rose he was coming out tonight. He knew it even more so when the bubbly started coursing through his veins faster than he had planned. But the worst part—the thing that makes his stomach plummet and churn—is seeing Ilya.

    Seeing Ilya like that.

    Ilya, with some girl grinding against him on the dance floor, hips grinding in a way Shane knows too well, hands roaming all over her like he’s making a claim. And she’s not pulling back. She’s laughing into his neck, bucking back like she wants him to eat her alive. The lights glint on Ilya’s skin, on the angle of his throat, on the swell of the muscles Shane’s seen a thousand times on the ice, and next to him on the damn couch, not to mention wrapped around him when they fuck. It’s like he’s watching something private even though it’s right there for all to see.

    OR
    A bit of angsty introspection from Shane for episode 4. Starting in the club and carrying through.

    Summary

    The body he held kept dancing, as if that was the only thing it could do. He rested his chin underneath their head, bringing their bodies closer together. He wanted to chase that fleeting heat, wanted to feel real under the hands of someone other than Hollander. He wanted, with a longing so strong it made him sick.

    Summary

    He couldn’t take it anymore.  He broke eye contact with Ilya, and pushed off from the wall, picking his way through the crowd, half panicking. Everything was overwhelming, too much, so he felt like he could crawl out of his skin and it wouldn’t be enough.

    Finally, after pushing past the packed bar, he found a single stall bathroom at the end of a hallway, also filled with people talking and laughing, drinks in their hand, yelling over the music that Shane could feel in his bones.

    Or, Shane and Ilya don't run away from each other at the club, but towards each other instead.

    Summary

    Shane would always be yearning for something with a man who didn't want him, wouldn't he? A little positive attention and he'd folded like origami. Pathetic.

    "Stay," Rozanov said. It sounded like pleading. That trick had worked on him, once.

    “Why?" Shane's tone was more biting than he intended. "What do you think is going to happen if I stay? Are you gonna make me a goddamned tuna melt?”

    Rozanov, to his credit, took the words like the blow they were. His eyes widened, then he covered his face with his palms and muttered something in Russian.

    Shane had never seen shame written across those features before.

    In April 2017, Shane Hollander suffers the most painful not-breakup he’ll ever experience. Months later, he's outed. Two years after that, a broken knee ends his career.

    When Rozanov unexpectedly crosses Shane's path four years later, Shane resolves to be courteous yet keep his distance. But Ilya is just as beautiful and charming as he ever was, and he’s determined to give what they'd once shared a second chance. A real chance.

    It's a bad idea. Shane knows it's a bad idea.

    The terrifying thing is that it doesn't feel like one.
