    Summary

    When he was seven years old, Shane Hollander was briefly lost at an airport. Luckily, the kindness of a stranger ensured he made it back to his parents safely, putting an end to a terrifying three hours for the Hollanders. It takes twenty years (and one heated rivalry) for Shane to learn the name of his rescuer. It takes twenty years for Ilya to learn his wish had already come true.

    Summary

    "You're supposed to smoke over there." Someone said from behind Ilya.

    Ilya almost dropped his cigarette. His English was shitty, but he had studied that sentence enough times over the years to understand it immediately. He didn't even think about his words much anymore, but it was impossible to avoid them.

    He turned instinctively, and was face to face with Shane fucking Hollander.

    Out of almost seven billion people, of course Ilya's soulmate had to be his fated rival. It was almost poetic. Still, Ilya had enough sense to realize just how bad this was.

    or, Shane says Ilya's soulmate words. Ilya vows to never speak a word to him to keep him from finding out. They fall in love anyway.

    [Tweet from @EliotFreeman]
    Ilya Rozanov at his first #Cens practice, being asked why he chose to move from Boston to Ottawa: “To be closer to my gay lover, Shane Hollander.”

    [Tweet from @letsgetdrilled]
    oh great another player who thinks being gay is a joke #ilyarozanovisoverparty

    No one thinks Ilya's answer is serious. Twitter reacts accordingly.

    Summary

    “I am out for the season?”

    “Probably."

    “Are you by any chance looking for a trophy husband?”

    “Ilya.”

    “Yes? No?”

    “It’s one season, Ilya, we’re not—it’s bad because you’re hurting, not because—I’m not letting this fuck anything up for us, okay? We’ll figure something out,” Shane says, resolutely.

    or, you know what they say about the best laid plans

    ilya’s first year in ottawa looks a little different than originally planned, maybe sort of because he ends up spending it recovering a broken leg in his boyfriend’s apartment, but probably mostly because he meets jackie pike

    Hayden: Babe.
    Hayden:...do you think Shane could be gay?

    Jackie: Definitely.

    Hayden: Wait, seriously?

    Jackie: Yeah, I’ve suspected for years.
    Jackie: But why do you think so all of a sudden?

    Hayden: Okay, we have to come back to that but.
    Hayden: I got a message from him that I don’t think was meant for me…

    Jackie: What did it say?

    Hayden: You’re going to make me type it out?

    Jackie: Hayden, you’re thirty years old. Type out the message. It can’t be that bad.

    Hayden: Something about missing a cock desperately.
