    Summary

    After the tuna melt meltdown, Shane meets Rose Landry, has several deeply inconvenient revelations, and decides to do the only sensible thing: win Ilya back with sincerity, logistics, and a frankly alarming amount of emotional effort.

    Ilya, meanwhile, mistakes every tender gesture for the kind prelude to an inevitable goodbye.

    Or: Shane is living in a romcom. Ilya is living in a Russian tragedy.

    Summary

    Hayden finds Lily’s contact and touches the little call button.

    After a short time, the call connects. “Shane,” a breathless sound reaches his ear, a broken heavy Russian accent cut off by a choked up sob. “You scared me.”

    Hayden hangs up.

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov has a "tiny car accident" (his words). Shane Hollander has a full-scale, system-shutdown panic attack about it. Meanwhile, a horrified Hayden is praying for someone to throw him in a lake and tell him that this is all just a big joke, or maybe for a meteor strike; he is really not picky. J.J., on the other hand, is trying to bleach the image of his sweet captain making out with Ilya fucking Rozanov from his brain.

    It's a very normal day for the Montreal Voyageurs.

    Summary

    "You are very pretty you know. I like your...what are these called?" He reached out to touch Shane's face, and Shane flinched, lurching backwards in surprise. Only Rozanov's hand on his wrist stopped him from crashing into the people behind him. Rozanov's hand was warm on Shane's cheek, fingers softly tracing the lines of his cheekbones. Shane swallowed, the motion difficult - all the saliva had seemingly vacated his mouth. He felt himself blushing furiously.

    Barely able to stammer out an answer, he responded, "Do you mean...you mean my freckles?"

    "Ah yes, freckles. Very pretty. They look like stars."

     
    Shane gets signed to the Boston Bears. Everything's great, except for one of his teammates - an annoying, stuck-up Russian man with a huge ego and habit for irritating the hell out of Shane. Can Shane learn to get along with Rozanov, and navigate the confusing and complicated emotions that swirl up whenever he is in his presence?

     
    (also Hayden's there because it wouldn't feel right without him)

    Summary

    Shane Hollander has spent his entire career in careful control - of his image, his privacy, and the parts of himself he wasn’t ready to share with the world. One leaked conversation strips all of that away overnight, and what’s left in its wake is a locker room that’s turned on him, a coaching staff that wants him gone, and an organization that has decided the easiest solution is to make him disappear quietly.

    Ilya has been in the league now long enough to understand that some things are too dangerous to want. He has his career, his team, and the laws of his home country to think about. He has very good reasons to keep his distance from Shane Hollander and the storm currently surrounding him. But he’s never been good at doing what he should do.

    A story about what it costs to have everything taken from you - your privacy, your safety, your right to tell your own story - and what it looks like to slowly, painstakingly, build something real in the wreckage. About two people who have been circling each other for years finally running out of room to keep pretending. About found family, hostile ice, and the difference between the life you survived and the one you actually get to live.
