    Summary

    “How can Montreal be snowed in?” Ilya asks. “They are not ready for winter?”

    “It’s Montreal, man,” Marleau snickers, like that's an explanation.

    Jane- 9:44 a.m.- Look on the bright side. If you’re stuck another day, you can come back here.

    ________

    After Ilya leaves Shane’s apartment for the first time, he knows he’s on thin ice and at risk of falling into more serious feelings. He’s ready to put distance back between them.

    A Montreal blizzard has other ideas.

    Summary

    Hayden gets up to move and pats Shane's shoulder on his way out. “Remember the party we're having at our place on Friday, okay?”

    Shane calls out an “okay” just as the front door slams shut behind him.

    He sets his bag down in his room before going to grab a can of coke—Hayden buys them and then ends up drinking Shane's stuff anyway—and walks into the room now occupied by a stranger.

    “Hey,” he calls out to the half hidden figure inside the closet as he sets down the coke on the new desk next to the door. “I don't know if you like coke but I brought you one. I'm Shane by the way.”

    The face that peeks out from behind the closet door makes Shane's eyes widen.

    Holy shit.

    the hollanov love island au

    I appreciate not everyone watches love island, so I’ll try and explain it as best as I can as we go

    featuring my favourite sassy shane and you’re lucky we’re in public right now ilya combo

    in this universe, love island is r rated and contestants can in fact sleep together on camera - if anyone is from the UK and has watched open house on channel 4, that’s where I’m going with this

    open house: a VERY spicy reality tv show in which the participants very much do have sex on camera

    anyway *clears throat*: this programme contains strong language, and scenes of a sexual nature

    thank you for being here !!

    Summary

    Shane could hear the crowd, loud as always in their home barn. It felt electric tonight. He didn't usually let the emotions of the occasion affect him, but after 22 years in the MLH, having accomplished everything he could do as a professional, tonight’s send-off was too much to push all the way down into that small compartment where he could hide all he felt.

    But Ilya–Shane felt physical pain in his chest every time he allowed himself to think his name. Their careers still forever tied together until Ilya’s retirement a few years ago. In the quietest of times, Shane could admit he shouldn’t have felt lonely at the top because Ilya was always right there with him. Sometimes he took solace in that, sometimes it brought pain so blinding he couldn’t breathe.

    or

    Shane Hollander retires from the MLH a few seasons after Ilya. They haven't actually spoken since the day Shane left in Boston. When Ilya is invited to participate in Shane's retirement ceremony, will they take the opportunity to confront the feelings they have long buried but kept sacred or are they still just two stars passing in the night?
