    Summary

    Shane starts smoking at twenty-seven and gets addicted. Years later, after retirement and a long fight to quit, he and Ilya finally become parents to a daughter named Katya. Four months later, Shane relapses.

    Shane responds the way he responds to most things: with rules. Smoke outside. Never smoke around Katya. Never lie to her about it. As Katya grows up and her questions get bigger, Shane and Ilya do their best to answer them honestly.

    A series of connected vignettes about addiction, shame, parenthood, and the difference between what Shane believes about himself and what the people who love him see.

    Post-TLG and canon compliant except that Ilya is a non-smoker and Shane is addicted to nicotine. The title is a play on Love in the Time of Cholera.

    Summary

    “Baby, you’ll never find someone if you’re that scared of meeting people.”

    “Leave him alone, Rosy,” Jackie waves a hand in the air: “He’ll find someone when he’s ready.”

    “It’s not that—” Shane’s words wobble out like a whisper, like his tongue turned to rubber because of the alcohol.

    Rose is too invested in her thesis to even pay him attention: “I’m just saying! It’s for his health! I don’t think he should be spending all of his heats alone, that’s it. It can’t be healthy.”

    It’s not that—I have this—this thing—

    “I don’t think I can orgasm,” he blurts out.

    Or the one where Shane Hollander, at twenty seven, is the first male-omega captain of the Montreal Metros. Under his belt, he has two Stanley Cups, forty million dollars of net worth and zero orgasms. This must change. (Rose suggests a check up might help). (Jackie knows a great gynecologist downtown).

    Summary

    “And you’re sure there’s nothing for you?” David says suddenly. “You’re not—you’re feeling okay? You’re not sick? Shane wouldn’t have any reason to think that you’re sick?”

    Ilya blinks and turns to him. “I am fine. Totally fine. Better than fine, even, before today.”

    “It’s just—Shane’s acting like you’re dying, Ilya.”

    “Not as far as I’m aware,” says Ilya. “And I do not think he would learn this before me.”

    The summer before Ilya joins the Centaurs, Shane wakes up nervous. It doesn't stop from there.

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov is in love, closeted, catastrophically lonely, and apparently incapable of referring to Shane Hollander in present tense.

    The Centaurs come to a- given the circumstances- reasonable conclusion.

    Or:
    Five times the Centaurs thought Ilya Rozanov was mourning his dead wife, and the one time they discovered his wife was actually Shane Hollander.
    Shane, for the record, is alive and really confused.

    Summary

    When Shane takes a hard hit on the ice, he wakes up three days later to find his reality has been shattered. But the truth is, it wasn’t reality at all. Just an elaborate set of false memories conjured by a brain injury. 'False memory syndrome' they call it. Shane calls it a nightmare he couldn't have imagined.

    Or

    Shane doesn’t have amnesia. Instead, he wakes up wanting his boyfriend only to realize his brain concocted a bunch of fake memories of a nine year situationship and Shane has no idea how to live in his actual reality that Ilya hasn’t been a part of. Luckily, Ilya is…curious.
