Summary
Ilya leans back in his chair, gaze drifting down to Natasha, who is now humming to herself, completely absorbed in her dragon. “I retire.”
Shane blinks. “What?”
“I retire,” Ilya repeats, like it’s obvious. “I stay. She goes to school. Has routine. Friends. Normal life.”
Shane stares at him. “You’re not serious.”
“I am.”
“You still have years left.”
“Yes.”
“You love hockey.”
Ilya’s expression softens, something deeper threading through it. “I love her more.”
or
Shane and Ilya build a life beyond the ice, raising their daughter Natasha while balancing fame, retirement and the quiet work of becoming a family.

Summary
Ilya leaned back against the counter, arms crossed, admiring his work. It was harmless. Shane would open a cupboard, pause, give him that look and then laugh. Maybe call him an idiot. Definitely call him an idiot.
It would be funny.
It would be fine.

Summary
“I’m back,” Ilya calls, nudging the door shut with his foot, grocery bags hanging from both hands.
No answer. He frowns, toeing off his shoes. “Shane?”
Still nothing. Then he hears it. A sharp, uneven sound from down the hall, something between a gasp and a choked cry. The bags slip from his fingers before he even registers the movement, oranges rolling across the floor as he is already running.
“Shane.”
He finds him in the bedroom.
or
When Shane has a severe meltdown at home, Ilya comes back to find him overwhelmed and hurting. He stays with him through it, grounding him, holding him together and caring for him after.

Summary
I saw someone requested a Shane and Ilya accidental jersey swap on twitter and my mind has thought about nothing since.

After some pregame locker room distractions, they accidentally grab the wrong jerseys and don’t realise until they’re already on the ice.
On live television.
Now Shane’s skating around with ROZANOV on his back, Ilya’s proudly wearing HOLLANDER and the entire arena has noticed.
Shane wants the ice to swallow him whole.
Ilya, meanwhile, is absolutely thriving.

His heartbeat was too fast. His chest felt tight. The microphone foam brushed his knuckles and the texture was suddenly unbearable, coarse, wrong.
Too loud.
Too bright.
Too close.
Too much.
He needed space.or
After an intense game and overwhelming post-game media scrum, Shane hits sensory overload and has a meltdown. Ilya finds him hiding away and stays, grounding him through it and reminding him he doesn’t have to handle everything alone.
