    Summary

    When the unsentimental financial imperative of the NHL sees Shane traded to the Boston Raiders, he and Ilya are thrown into closer extended proximity than ever before. As they adjust to life as teammates, they are forced to contend with the nature of their relationship -and must answer for themselves: is it even a relationship at all?
    ____

    Sliding down the wall, Shane hunched over his untied sneakers, shoved on hastily when Coach had called him in for a meeting after morning skate.

    “Boston wanted you specifically. I’ve already spoken to their GM. You’re flying this evening or tomorrow morning: I’ll confirm once the paperwork clears.”

    “Mom,” Shane managed.

    “Oh sweetie. I know, okay. Those fuckers, how dare they do this! Two fucking cups! Now all of a sudden they decide they want a reset and you’re going to fund it.”

    Shane put his head between his knees and tried to breathe. God, Boston. They hated him there; it was so far away; he was fucking their captain.

    Read to ch. 14 as complete fic. Very very sweet, underlying angst, and lover boy Ilya.

    Shane gets traded to fund Montreals expansion and ends up in Boston where he stays with Ilya… they just fall into a relationship that never really ends. Supportive Boston!

    Summary

    “What happened?” Ilya asked, stepping closer, brows pulling together.

    Shane looked up, still processing, eyes wide in a way Ilya had never seen before.

    “I’ve been traded,” he said, the words landing heavy between them. “It’s done.”

    ___________

    OR: Shane loses his phone at the 2017 All-stars game in Tampa and months later explicit videos are leaked and Shane’s life is flipped upside down. He and Ilya must confront their feelings for each other and Shane decides that maybe he’d be happier on a different team ;)

    Reads as complete to Chapter 19.

    Absolutely brilliant in depth look at the intricacies and depth that are involved in hockey politics and how that would actually affect each player. Really well written.

    Summary

    For years, their rivalry has been the perfect cover for something far more dangerous. Separate teams and conferences allowed them to hide their secret relationship behind hard hits, heated stares, and carefully managed media narratives. Being enemies was safe. Being teammates is not.

    By the time Shane lands in Boston, the media frenzy is already in full swing, eager to see how the former rivals will coexist. Their first meeting in the Raiders’ locker room is charged and restrained — two men pretending they’ve never touched, shaking hands like strangers while the team watches.

    On the ice, though, the problem becomes obvious. They play like they’ve always belonged together — instinctive, seamless, lethal. Teammates start noticing. The chemistry is too natural. Too practiced

    Summary

    Shane was freaking out. Coming out to his team DID NOT go well. Instead of talking to his friends, or Rose, he calls Ilya.
    And then he follows his advice.

    Shane comes out and Montreal lose him. A lovely little peak into how things can change and how you can embrace that.

    Summary

    Boston.

    Shane just got traded to fucking Boston. To where Ilya was. With no apparent fucking reason in the middle of the season. He just won them two cups, why was this happening?

    Shane gets traded in the middle of the 2016/2017 season, just before the All-Stars. The Tuna Meltdown never happens and Shane and Ilya amicably decide to stop seeing each other but remain ‘friends’. Both are very ‘happy’ with this decision until Hollander is traded to Boston. Now they must work with each other on the same team while Shane wonders what the hell happened in Montreal to get him traded in the first place. The Boston Raiders learn that Shane Hollander is not a chicken, or a virgin (lol) like everyone believes. And the Metros learn just how important Shane was in winning those cups.

    And Cliff Marleau is just trying to figure out why Ilya’s messages to Jane stopped.
