Summary
“You know what? Nevermind. It’s not worth it.” Occtis starts folding himself into bed, prompting Julien to sit up, aggravated by the principle of the thing.
“Just ask me the fucking question.”
“I don’t just want to ask one, I want to—gh—do you know how a conversation works?”
“You want to get to know me?” Julien says with horror.
— On the road to the Golden Orchard, after the second-worst week of their lives, Occtis and Julien play stupid games.

Summary
The rules of the sex interview were not explained because the rules were the point. The room needed to see the specific heterosexual performance that proved you were the right kind of boy—the kind who had done the expected things and would keep doing them and had nothing to hide.
Shane had the girl ready. He’d built her in the shower a week ago, just in case.
-
Or: Shane learns, in order, how to skate, how to perform, how to survive a room, and how to want something he will not name for years. Featuring minor hockey, the OHL, one fabricated girl named Jess, and eleven pages of notes on one Ilya Rozanov, who he has never met. Yet.

Summary
Dr. Shane Hollander is a pediatric emergency physician, and one the world’s leading researchers on wilderness medicine. On his third trip to Antarctica, he’s not expecting much to faze him. Then Dr. Ilya Rozanov walks into his clinical room with a laceration and an infuriating smirk.
Shane thinks he’s above the hookup culture of Mactown. Ilya thinks he is simply in it for the chase. Neither of them expected to fall in love on the Ice. A saga.

Summary
“Just got the word from the officials, Metros are shutting Miitka down for the night," LeClaire says almost dispassionately. “Third period we’re up against,” LeClaire consults his clipboard, “Shane Hollander. Drafted 2009, current starter for the Laval Maples, posts a .905 save percentage.”
Ilya stays where he is, rolling the name around in his head once, without much interest.
Hollander.
Doesn’t ring a bell.
Inspired by that one twitter post, what if Shane was a goalie?

Summary
“How can Montreal be snowed in?” Ilya asks. “They are not ready for winter?”
“It’s Montreal, man,” Marleau snickers, like that's an explanation.
Jane- 9:44 a.m.- Look on the bright side. If you’re stuck another day, you can come back here.
________
After Ilya leaves Shane’s apartment for the first time, he knows he’s on thin ice and at risk of falling into more serious feelings. He’s ready to put distance back between them.
A Montreal blizzard has other ideas.
