    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov has a problem. Shane Hollander has a hypothesis. The media has a narrative.

    The summer Shane and Ilya spent together in Moscow when they were sixteen follows them into the spotlight of their professional careers. The world is all too happy to remind them of their shared history; former teammates turned rivals - as if either of them could ever forget.

    The story gives them a perfect cover.

    It doesn't give them any excuses.

    *****

    This story is a sequel to "Plexiglass Box", in which Shane and Ilya meet in 2007, when Shane's mother joins the coaching staff of Ilya's junior hockey team for the summer.
    Or: Shane was Ilya's coach's son, things spiral from there.

    Summary

    Moscow, 2007. Ilya's junior hockey team gets a new assistant coach for the summer - and a new temporary teammate. The tension starts building the second Shane Hollander steps onto the ice, and Ilya is fascinated.

    Sure, two months feel like a long time when you're sixteen, but they shouldn't matter in the grand scheme of things.
    Right?

    *****

    Or: The thing with Ilya's coach's son, but it's Shane.

    Summary

    For a moment, nothing happens. Then, about thirty seconds later, Ilya blinks once, then again, his expression tightening as confusion slowly takes over, trying to make sense of something that’s supposed to be impossible. Shane immediately knows that he’s freaking out.

    You’re freaking out right now, aren’t you? Please don’t freak out. Because if you freak out, then I’m going to freak out.

    “What the fuck?” Ilya yells, as he jerks back like he’s been burned, his hand ripping away from Shane’s ankle. His irises dart left to right crazily, locked in on Shane’s face as he searches for something. Shane stays silent. “What the fuck was that?”

    OR: Shane and Ilya develop telepathy while being in a situationship. It goes as well as you’d expect.

    So the true way to combat the Bisexual Russian Terminator isn’t with homophobia...
    It's actually with even more gay
    ...
    You're a goddamn genius.

    ----

    The NHL rookies have joined forces to strategize now that two of the greatest hockey players of all time are on the same team and Ilya Rozanov must suffer from the unintended consequences of making hockey more woke.

    Mainly, the way everyone keeps implying that they want to fuck his husband.

    or: a group of rookies unionize and employ chirping as a form of psychological torture against a one Ilya Grigoryevich Rozanov.
