Summary
"That smell, I know that smell." Ilya is visibly confused but his pupils have dilated slightly, his body catching on before his brain can catch up. "Is that—? What are you wearing?"
"It's just cologne. I thought that's what people did before this kind of thing." Shane puts his hands in his pockets and tries to look casual. He is absolutely not going to laugh at the bewildered look on Ilya's face.
"What kind of thing? What are you talking about?"
"You know. Before meeting up like this." He swallows. Squares his shoulders. "I mean, I gave you my room number. I told you I wasn't a chicken."
He can pinpoint the exact moment that it clicks into place for Ilya what is happening. His mouth falls open. "You… it's— Hollander," he exhales. His eyes have gone almost entirely black and his breathing is ragged.
Shane leans back against the door and tilts his chin down, looking up at Ilya through his eyelashes. "This is such a bad idea."
________
Scent is a pretty strong memory trigger. Shane finds the cologne he wore the night they first met up in Room 1410, and decides a do-over might be fun.

Summary
“Is that really why you're single? You're afraid you'd let your partner down?”
Ilya took a sip and tried to battle the urge to be honest, but it was useless. He had developed an Achilles heel, and it came with beautiful brown eyes that were currently piercing straight through his soul.
“I think I am single because I have fun being single,” Ilya started with the easier part of his answer, and he saw Shane nod. That part was expected.
Ilya took a shaky breath before he admitted the rest. “And I have not met anyone that I wanted to be with, enough. One time, maybe. But was not possible.”
***
Shane and Ilya stop hooking up during their rookie season after their secret is almost exposed. Six years later, Scott Hunter comes out and changes everything. Ilya and Shane decide to forge an unlikely friendship as they navigate the league, coming out, and Scott Hunter's annoying queer group chat.
And they accidentally fall in love, obviously.

Summary
“If a crystal ball could tell you the truth about yourself, your life, the future or anything else, what would you want to know?” Quickly, Ilya adds, “Don’t say that you want to know if you win the Cup.”“Why not? What if that’s my answer?”
“Is so boring, Hollander. Of course you want to know this. But Ilya Rozanov and Boston Raiders exist in this world, so crystal ball says, so sad, but no.”
“Fuck off. What are these questions even for, anyway? Are you interviewing me for something? Wouldn’t you have to, like, tell me if you were?”
Ilya is quick to assure Hollander before his paranoia takes him right out of this phone call. “It is not for interview, Hollander. I am just wondering. Answer the question.”
“And I can’t say that I would want to know whether I win the Cup.”
“Yes, other than that.”
“I guess… I guess I would want to know, like, am I happy?”
Ilya reads an article about 36 questions that are supposed to make people fall in love. He decides to ask them to Shane.- Language:

so casually cruel (in the name of "being honest") by trustingno1

Summary
"What would you say?" Shane asks, tightly, "If you were playing for Montreal."
"You want to practice chirping?" Ilya asks, a bit dubiously (and probably rightly so; he's heard enough of Shane's prepared statements over the years, has heard him read a teleprompter, has seen his stiff ads-)
"No. No," Shane is emphatic, "I just. Want an idea. Of what to expect."
Ilya takes a pull on his water bottle, eyes trained on Shane. He swallows, before replying, "You have played just as long as me. With dirtier team."
"Hey," Shane protests, laughing a little, but Ilya doesn't smile back.
Shane wants to be prepared for anything Montreal will throw at him on the ice.

Summary
"Rozanov told me to thank every goal tender I scored on," Shane says, wryly, to laughter, "So I will not be doing that.
"I do not take this for granted. Thank you to the rest of my line," there's a smattering of applause, a cheer from the Metros' table; he can't prove it, but he suspects it's Ilya booing. "I very literally could not have done this without you.
"I would like to thank my partner," he adds, shakily, "for their support." He glances up, not towards Ottawa's table. "Thank you for always pushing me to do better." There's some scattered applause, perfunctory.
This is the bail out point. He can lift the trophy with one more "thank you", a "hopefully see you again next year", or he can-
