    Summary

    "You take her." Shane waits for Rozanov to take Lucie, but when he doesn't do anything, Shane flicks his gaze up to see Rozanov's eyes widen. "What?"

    "You want me to feed her?"

    "Yes. You literally just held her. What's the difference?"

    "I-I don't know what to do."

    Shane passes Lucie over to him, then guides Rozanov's hand to the bottle to keep it up. "You just hold it like that."

    "Then what?"

     

    Or: Shane has a one night stand with a woman during the six months Ilya ghosted him, and he's left with a little girl. Lucie Hollander wraps them both around her little finger and changes the course of their love story.

    Summary

    Loud beeps from his phone startled Ilya, and he slowed down, reaching for the device he’d put on the bar between his legs. Jane. He smiled to himself when he saw the notifications, and, checking Marlowe was absorbed in his own fitness, opened it quickly, smiling in anticipation of Shane's words.

    The smile was wiped off his face almost instantly.

    The blood drained from his face, and Ilya felt like the bottom had just fallen out of his world.

    *****

    Maybe he was naive, but Ilya always thought he had time. Time with Shane. Time to tell him what he truly meant to him.

    That, somehow, one way or another, Shane would always be there.

    But a text message late one night threatens to destroy the future that Ilya has spent the time carefully constructing in his mind.

    Maybe Shane wasn't always going to be there. That Shane would be cruelly snatched away from him before he had a chance to be honest.

    That he would be left behind. Alone.

    But it’s a plan, nonetheless. Over the summer of 2014, they tweak it and add things important to the both of them. There are even many, extensive, contingency plans.

    OR

    Thanks to Shane's small lie the first time they hooked up, Shane and Ilya are together years earlier. Now, they have to figure out what to do about it.

    Summary

    In this universe, when someone meets their soulmate, they both compulsively start calling each other pet names. It's a rare phenomenon. The world is obsessed with it. There's lots of fanfare around it.

    Shane Hollander doesn't want to ever find his soulmate. So much so he gains a reputation for being antisocial. He doesn't care, staying quiet means he'll less likely be outed as gay and his goal of having a professional hockey career can be achieved.

    Ilya Rozanov desperately wants to find his soulmate. So much so, he wants to become a professional hockey player, move to the states, just so he can travel the world and talk to as many people as possible. Because doing so means he could find certain love in his life.
     

    They make this way harder on themselves than it needs to be.
