Summary
Shane Hollander is done hiding. After a decade of suffocating under the colors of the Montreal Metros, a locker room defined by toxic silence and the bigotry of teammates like JJ, Shane finally makes the jump everyone said would break the league. He’s signs with the Ottawa Centaurs, joining the one man who has always been his secret sanctuary: Ilya Rozanov.
But the transition isn't just about changing jerseys. It’s about Shane reclaiming the center ice position he was born to play and learning what it feels like to be part of a room that actually has his back. From a high-stakes practice where Ilya proves Shane is "made of stone," to an ambitious, room-by-room tour of their now shared Ottawa home, the two of them are finally building a life out in the open.
The ultimate test arrives when the Centaurs head back to Montreal for a grudge match that the Commissioner claims will ruin the sport. Between homophobic chirps at the face-off dot and a front office hoping for a scandal, Shane and Ilya have a different plan. They aren't just looking for a win; they’re looking for a statement.
In a building that once tried to break him, Shane is about to show the world that the truth is the most dangerous weapon on the ice.Bookmarked by willowthewisp

Summary
But before Ilya can begin to parse his reply into English, Shane bites his lip and adds, “Unless,” and Ilya’s stomach drops out from him. “I know you said you hadn’t been with anyone else since Tampa but…” he bites his lip. There’s something so tense and sad lingering around Shane’s eyes as he keeps his face turned away from Ilya. “If – if you did, miss sleeping with women, and you –” he swallows thickly, looking like the words are causing him physical pain. “If you – if you wanted to, in Boston when we’re apart…” Ilya doesn’t miss the way Shane’s hands shake slightly as he rubs across the back of his neck. “We don’t have to be exclusive.”
or: Shane opens up about his insecurities and Ilya does what Ilya does best to help ease them.

“Did Boston Lily send you all these flowers? Shane??” Hayden asks.
“Um,” Shane says helpfully.
——

Summary
Ilya couldn’t sleep thinking about the familiar burn of the warm closeness, and how he craved it again. The burn was comfort, security. It’d made him pick up his phone and text without concern for embarrassment anymore, even if Shane was right—he’d just had it a few hours ago. But he wanted more, craved it now.
I’m outside, Shane’s text reads. Ilya smiles to himself.

Summary
"I made a decision," he said quietly. "A really important one."
Yuna raised an eyebrow but didn't interrupt.
Shane swallowed hard. "I erm- I think I'm going to carry a baby."For a moment, the words seemed to hang in the air between them.
Yuna blinked once in surprise.
Not because the idea of a baby shocked her. She knew how badly Shane and Ilya wanted a family of their own.
No.
The surprise came from the fact that the words had come from Shane himself. For years, the thought of pregnancy alone had terrified him.
"You're serious?" she asked softly.
Shane nodded slowly. "Y- Yeah I am."
He looked down at his hands again, fingers twisting together. "I know it's... a lot. And I know how I used to react whenever it came up." He let out a humorless laugh. "I practically had a panic attack the first time Ilya mentioned it, but-"Yuna reached across the table and placed her hand over his. "That was before," she said.
Shane's jaw tightened.
Before.
Or Shane Carries his and Ilya’s rainbow baby a year after Ilya has a stillbirth with their son.
