Summary
“I think you are my best friend,” Ilya says softly.
Shane feels a smile pull his lips. “I know you’re mine.”
Ilya nods. “I think we should keep doing this. If you like.”
or,
across more than a decade, Shane and Ilya move from boys at an academy to men in the league, carrying with them a relationship built in quiet moments, fractured by circumstance, and defined by everything they cannot quite let go of.

Summary
Shane Hollander loves Ilya Rozanov so much it feels fucking ridiculous at times, like there should be a limit to it, like a person should not be allowed to miss someone this badly when they've only been gone for three days, or five hours, or ten minutes.
But summer, the cottage, it's ending once again; and Montreal and Boston loom, and Shane is starting to think he can't do it anymore, like he might not survive it this time, and it's not the loving, no, it's never the loving.
It's the missing.
Maybe, Shane thinks, it's time their lives finally catch up with the love that they have already built.
or: a peek at life two years after the end of ioap and how hollanov would maybe, probably, fly too close to the sun with wax wings, if only it means they get to move through the rest of their lives together.
