    Summary

    Shane Hollander: Hockey’s Golden Boy. His talent drew people in, whether by jealousy, admiration, or wonder— reason didn’t matter.

    Ilya Rozanov is the only player who seems to press at this narrative, pulling at it until it threatens to snap. He’s strong, slightly rude, and the most beautiful man Shane’s ever seen.

    Vying for the spot of number one— visceral on the ice, animal in the sheets— they find themselves orbiting each other; gravitating closer during games, closer beneath dim hotel rooms.

    Over the years a bond forms, inexplicable and dizzying, Ilya can’t find the will to stay away from him. Entranced, maybe even hypnotized.

    Sometime in late 2016, biting wind and whipping snow, a quiet night finds them sharing Rozanov’s rut together; a whirl of passion, confusion, and devastation.

    Two months later, Tampa, Florida brings a life-changing discovery.

    Summary

    «A safe space, somewhere he could breathe. I know things didn’t end well between the two of you - but did they actually end at all? I’m not supposed to tell you this - I know I’m not - but he asked me to, so… I’m just trying so hard to be a good friend: when they asked him what he’d miss the most, he said ginger ale. Hollander - Shane, I have never seen my man Roz drink a ginger ale.»

    The room spins around him at full speed and Shane needs to hold on to the kitchen counter not to fall flat on his face.

    “That better just be ginger ale, rook.”
    “There’s ginger ale in the fridge.”
    “Ginger ale cold enough?”

    Fuck, Rozanov.

    Summary

    If Ilya was hurt, Shane would be the last one to find anything out, because on paper, they were nothing to each other. Less than nothing. Officially, they hated each other.

    The thought of Ilya in that position—trapped on the other side of a locked hospital door, frantic, blind, and treated like an intrusive stranger—made his stomach twist with a violent wave of unease.

    He couldn’t do that to him. He wouldn't.

    OR

    In a moment of impulsivity, Shane makes Ilya his legal healthcare proxy. When he's injured in the infamous Boston game, it takes everyone (including Ilya) by surprise.

    Summary

    Ilya blushed again. For a brief moment, Shane was stunned. Time and time again, Rozanov has very confidently said “I am Russian. Russians do not blush.” Although Shane can personally identify a handful of times that the Russian man was left blushing after one of their late night activities. But Shane supposes that could just as easily be blamed on the aftermath of the intense session they just had.

    “No- uh it is not bad. I am going to get this looked at,” Ilya says while pointing at the mole on the side of his face.

    “Kent said it was ugly. Like a bug. He say he want to squash. Next time he gives high stick he say he will aim here” Ilya gestures with his hand. “Don’t want to make it too easy,” he concludes with a little smirk as if he wants to hide behind the hurt of that statement behind a smile.

    Or Dallas Kent makes a mean comment about Ilya's mole. Shane is not having it.

    Summary

    Shane curses under his breath. I was really fucking obvious, he thinks. I’m so fucked. And Ilya… is he going to be pissed? If he even can be pissed again. If he’ll even be okay? Okay enough to ever be angry at him again? The thought of Ilya Rozanov being furious with him is starting to sound really good, because it means he’s alive and breathing.
