    [Post TLG - Ilya and Shane both play for the Ottawa Centaurs]

    This time it's Ilya down on the ice.
    Shane's world shrinks down to his unconscious husband; nothing else matters.

    Shane must support Ilya through recovery and deal with the consequences of leaving the match without permission. They must both deal with some restrictions on sex as Ilya recovers, but they take every opportunity to find possible outlets as he improves.

    The extended recovery period impacts Ilya's mental health, and he has to face his own worth without hockey.

    Summary

    Ilya’s brows quirked again, and he flicked open the first page of the textbook, ‘and you decided to learn Russian now because...?’

    ‘Because I married a Russian man, and I figured it was about time I learned.’

    ‘You never learned with me.’ Ilya said.

    ‘No.’ Shane replied, tersely, ‘there was a lot I never did with you.’

    Or: After Shane's college relationship ends in heartbreak, he patches up his wounds by marrying a wealthy, older man, and he's so sure his life is perfect. That is, until his ex re-enters the picture, and he wonders if maybe he got it all wrong.

    Summary

    Ilya was standing in the tunnel to his right; he was quiet now, eyes glued to one place. Shane looked over, watching as Marleau wrapped his arms around Rozanov from behind. Watched the way Ilya’s body slowly lowered to the ground as a guttural cry tore out of his mouth.

    OR

    You're really going to have to trust me on this one.

    Summary

    When Ilya asked for something inexpensive for his birthday, he expected flowers and cake. Maybe a self-made card.

    He did not expect 365 emails. Or rather, the promise of them.

    Ilya is promised that for the next 364 days, he will receive an email every morning, each containing a song that reminds Shane of their seventeen years together—from first meetings and first fights to weddings, championships, and everything in between.

    A year of music. A year of memories. A year of Shane loving him as intensely as ever.
