Summary
“Why did you want me to meet you here today?” Shane asked. When he’d heard the request, he’d had the same thought as Jared. Was he trying to rub it in? One last chance to retaliate for a long ago rejection?
Shane had almost made it to Rozanov’s room that night in the hotel in Toronto. But when the elevator doors opened, Shane’s feet had stayed glued to the ground.
He’d been so afraid of ruining everything, only to have it ruined for him barely a year later.
Shane does not hook up with Ilya in Toronto. Six years later, his hockey career is long over and he has found a new calling that puts his media training, and his pretty face, to good use.
Consider this a remix of sorts.

Summary
The team goes out afterward and drags Shane with them. He has to, objectively. It's a running tally in his head all the time: if I leave dinner thirty minutes early, I owe a night out. If I skip a night out, I owe brunch the next away game. The season is still young, and Shane wants to rack up his social savings before he gets truly tired and has to beg out of more than two things in a row. His phone buzzes in his pocket as he shrugs on his coat. They're going out in their pregame clothes, men with harsh faces and sharp bodies that know they look good because they are wearing money. Money makes the most broken nose look sexy in a violent sort of way, and the evening has an undercurrent of violence running through it from the start.
The game was choppy, fast, mostly due to Shane and Ilya pushing the pace past what anyone was conditioned for this early in the season, and his teammates make him pay for it in chirps that cut a little. Shane doesn't mind it too much. He can handle the chirps about the hockey. That's a reflection of himself that is good and clean and known. He can't handle the ones directed at the unknown part of himself that swirls in his chest and bites back.

Summary
~And from your lips, he drew the Hallelujah
Ilya Rozanov leaves Boston and signs with Ottawa, trying to fight a slow slide into emptiness and find meaning in his life again. Shane Hollander is a lonely, struggling artist who lost his spark. When they meet by chance, they both have to decide what's worth living for.
Or…Shane never gets the chance to become a pro hockey player, so they meet a little later in life. Basically, they’re both sad boys, but the healing will be worth it. More baggage, fewer hangups.
~You see I used to live alone before I knew ya.
——————————————————
“So maybe we would have played together,” Ilya said.
“Yeah. Maybe we would have been rivals,” Shane said, and that got a grin out of him. He couldn’t quite imagine it, but he thought that would have been fun, facing off against Ilya Rozanov. In another life.
Ilya nodded slowly. “And yet here we are, meeting anyway. Maybe we were meant to.”

Summary
Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov fell in love in 2008. Just because their love story has to remain behind closed doors, doesn't mean they have to pretend it's not happening.
a fix-it from the beginning, where they actually get their cute romance.
