    Summary

    Ilya feels like he knows everything and nothing about Shane at once. He's a child of Nike, his team always wins Capture-the-flag, he's still in touch with his biological father, and he's obscenely lucky.

    What he doesn't know, is if Shane is the best or the worst person to quest with.

    Aristotle's qualifications for a Greek tragedy include dianoia (thought and introspection) and opsis (spectacle and performance). Shane and Ilya bring both to the table.

    Summary

    Maybe it was because two years on he really had come to terms with the death of his MLH career. Maybe it was because he wanted the last gasp of what his life should have been. Maybe it was because at McGill too many people knew his family, knew his sob story, knew that two years of juniors only meant two years of a scholarship, but in America hockey didn’t matter like it did here and the NHL moved on fast even when you go from top draft pick to nothing in the blink of an eye. And maybe it was because he and Ilya Rozanov were supposed to climb the mountain together but instead he had two gold medals, he was first overall, he was going to be rookie of the year…and he had kissed Shane in that gym like he was starving for it, like he knew Shane was too.
    It didn’t matter why he did it really, only that he said yes.
    -----
    A heart condition forces Shane into retirement before the 2009 draft. Eventually he finds himself in Ilya Rozanov's orbit anyway.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander met Ilya Rozanov at the Ottawa ice rink when he was seven years old. It took exactly three lessons for little Ilya to annoy his way into being Shane's one and only friend. Together, they navigate hockey, school, teachers, girls, and their ever growing, all consuming crushes on each other.

    Or; What if Ilya moved to Canada when he was a child and grew up with Shane?

    Or or; What if Shane had the support that he lacked growing up?
