    Summary

    "Hi, solnyshko.”
    The Russian pet name set a firework off inside Shane's mind as he heard it cooed from behind him. The intonation was just as he remembered, but the voice was much deeper.

    He turned and felt himself short circuit. It took every ounce of willpower to not let his jaw drop cartoonishly to the floor. Shane would recognize his individual features anywhere, even after 5 years. But it was as if someone had snapped their fingers and the smug, silly Russian boy who had been attached to Shane's hip for 3 summers was transformed into some sort of fucking Adonis right before his eyes.

    “Ilya-” was all Shane managed before strong arms were wrapped around his waist and lifting him off the ground in a greeting all too familiar from years ago.

     

    OR
    When Shane Hollander & Ilya Rozanov spent their summers as teens in an elite hockey camp, they quickly became inseparable friends. But they lose touch when Shane moves on as a prospect for the NHL and Ilya for the KHL.

    Years later, Montreal makes a bold move to take the hottest player in the KHL. After hearing of the Russian's reputation, the Montreal Captain is tasked with keeping his old best friend and new teammate out of trouble.

    Summary

    Ilya considers himself a reasonable man. Sure, one might say he’s more obsessed with Shane than is strictly healthy, but it’d be more unreasonable if he had the king of hockey in his bed (and in his heart) and he wasn’t obsessed. Still, he’d like to think that he’s above becoming jealous of fictional characters. And he is above it. Of course he is. It would have been one thing if Shane had told Ilya about his childhood crush on Anakin Skywalker at the beginning of May, when they had a summer-long stretch of lazy weekends at the cottage and busy days at the Irina Foundation and warm bright mornings where Ilya gets to watch Shane wake up in his arms.

     

    But it’s late September, and Ilya’s mad at everything.

     

    Or: Ilya finds out about Shane’s childhood crush on a certain tortured Jedi, and it dredges up old insecurities.

    Summary

    Nothing’s wrong. It’s just that Shane Hollander’s standing here in his kitchen, barefoot and dressed in Ilya’s softest, ugliest clothes, ready to help him cook dinner. It’s just that, after nearly a decade, after so much pain and heartache and distance, Shane Hollander is here in Ilya’s kitchen, looking at him with such obvious love and care and worry. It’s just that, after everything Ilya’s done over the years to deter Shane from loving him, Shane’s stubbornly, doggedly refused to stop.

    It’s just that Ilya kept that stupid, ugly t-shirt—wore it by himself in his big empty house, wore it smoking on his balcony, wore it to sleep, packed it with him when he went back to Russia for his father’s funeral—because he thought that it might be the only bit of Shane he ever got to keep.

    And he was wrong. God, he’s never been more grateful to be wrong in his life.

    OR: Shane wears Ilya’s ugliest, most embarrassing t-shirt, and Ilya reacts like Moses at the burning bush.

    Summary

    “He wants doll brushes because he’s seen the girls at the park brushing their plushies with them. Their dolls too, obviously. But he wants to brush that pelt you brought him-”

    David sets his crossword book down, giving Yuna his full attention.

    “What?”

    “The pelt of fur? Looks like a wolf, or maybe one of those big cats?” Yuna says, waving her hand dismissively. “Either way, I don’t think doll brushes are the right choice. We can look into getting him a set of actual grooming tools, he needs to learn that the right tools for the right job are an important-”

    “Yuna. Sweetheart.” David interrupts. “I did not buy our son a piece of dead animal as a souvenir from Russia.”

    OR

    Ilya loses something important at the airport; years later, Shane gives it back to him.
