    Summary

    After the tuna melt meltdown, Shane meets Rose Landry, has several deeply inconvenient revelations, and decides to do the only sensible thing: win Ilya back with sincerity, logistics, and a frankly alarming amount of emotional effort.

    Ilya, meanwhile, mistakes every tender gesture for the kind prelude to an inevitable goodbye.

    Or: Shane is living in a romcom. Ilya is living in a Russian tragedy.

    Summary

    Shane’s brain cycled rapidly through a half-dozen celebrities, porn actors, Grindr profiles, every attractive bartender who’d ever served him a beer, trying to find a comparison for this level of outrageously concentrated beauty in one person, but he was drawing a blank.

    The man—Ilya Rozanov, Facilities Attendant, his badge read—gestured around the supply closet. “I help you find something?”

    --
    Canon-divergent AU set during the 2017-18 MLH season. Shane Hollander doesn’t have a single Cup to his name when he meets a very hot and very annoying janitor who works at the Metros stadium.

    Summary

    June 2018. Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov are about to execute the first step of their ten-year plan, with Ilya signing with the Ottawa Centaurs when free agency begins on July 1.

    Except Shane accidentally, drunkenly, outs himself to the Montreal Metros at the end of the season. Who are not as okay with it as Shane would have hoped.

    AKA the most eventful Canada Day that the MLH has ever seen.

    Summary

    Ten minutes into the drive back to his cottage, Shane carefully signals and pulls over onto the shoulder of the empty road, then slumps over with his forehead on the wheel.

    Summary

    “Shane?” asks a lightly accented voice. “Is that you? What the hell is going on here?”

    Shane snaps his head around to find—

    “Rozanov?”

    No, that can’t be right. The man approaching him looks like Rozanov, sure, but he’s bigger, broader through the shoulders, and his hair is cropped close on the sides. He’s also… kinda old, actually? He’s not like dad old, but he’s definitely not Shane’s age. The cut of his cheekbones is even more severe than usual. There are salt and pepper threads in his tousled curls, and white at his temples.

    The man is looking around the room with a bewildered expression, evidently trying to figure out some kind of puzzle. He has laugh lines, Shane notices. They look inconveniently hot.

    Shane leaves Ilya Rozanov's penthouse in Las Vegas that night in 2014, and finds himself face to face with... Ilya Rozanov? But no, that can't be right. This has to be a dream. Doesn't it?
