    Summary

    Ilya could see the best of David and Yuna in Shane. It was magnificent, to see their love reflected and amplified in his fiance, but it also scared him. Was his own father’s crass disregard, his mother’s sadness, amplified within him the same way?

    Ilya cleared his throat.

    ”I think I was unfair to you yesterday, David. I am sorry.”

    David frowned, still somehow managing to look kind. His oatmeal had long been forgotten, though he’d been scraping his spoon around the bowl in the same way that Shane often did when he was too busy thinking to actually eat.

    “Oh, kiddo. You don’t have anything to say sorry to me for.”

    Or: Ilya tries to navigate love, and love navigates its way back.

    Summary

    “You don’t look at me like I am crazy.” Ilya says, voice barely above a breath.

    Shane’s brow furrows. “Because you’re not.”

    “I feel like I am.”

    Shane’s hand comes up to cradle his jaw. Warm palm with gentle pressure on his skin. “You look like someone doing something hard.” Something in Ilya’s chest cracks open again, but softer this time.

    (ie. ilya has a very rough day at therapy and comes home to shane to process it all and feel comfort)

    Summary

    “What is there to talk about?”

    “What’s there to talk about?!” Hollander scoffed, shaking his head. “You’re playing for my fucking team!”

    “I know.”

    “Why did you have to go and get traded?! You realise we’re going to have to see each other every day from now on, and play together, and-”

    “Yes,” Ilya interrupted. He didn’t want to know how long Hollander’s list was. “I know.”

    Hollander took a deep breath. “Okay, listen,” he said. “Just so we’re clear - we don’t know each other outside of playing against each other, right?”

    “Right.”

    “And we can’t- can’t hook up anymore.”

    ~

    OR: Ilya gets traded to Montreal in October 2014. He's lonely, and angry, and he misses Boston. He doesn't know if it helps that Hollander is there or not.

    Summary

    Given Ilya and Shane's history, they should be able to handle a few weeks apart. So when Ilya was out with an injury and Shane needed to head back on the road, they would cope. Shane would be occupied with adjusting to his new team and Ilya would be occupied with twitter and the trials and tribulations of British Bakers.

    And they would be just so normal about it. Obviously.

    Summary

    While Ilya is in therapy in 'The Long Game' we learn that he tells Shane he can sleep with other people while they are apart during hockey season. It is mentioned briefly that this leads to a fight and three days of Shane ignoring him. Only then does Ilya realize how devastated he would be if Shane took him up on that offer. This is one way it could have played out.
