It's all Canadian Vodka's fault by FriPie
In the early hours of Saturday, the Hockey world was ablaze with the news that Ilya Rozanov was dead. Killed in a tragic car accident leaving behind a slew of devastated fans and a grieving husband still reeling in shock.
The news also came as an incredible shock to Ilya when he awoke that same day, hungover and bleary, but very much alive.
There is this fic where Ilya actually dies and it tells the story how Shanes whole world crumbles and goes to shit basically. I am still trying to prepare myself to that fic becaues I know it will destroy me and it will destroy days of my life.
So I am kind of using this as a warm up, if you could say that. Because no one dies here but everyone goes troough the movements and the feelings and everything else. So all the things are there, just not the final death.
I still cried and I still lost myself. And I am nowhere ready to read that other fic. But this was good and really worth the tears and the pain. So if you are anything like me, just start with this one and build yourself up for something even worse (or better? Idk).
