    Summary

    Following an afternoon of sex and tuna melts, Shane goes searching for the explicit rules of what being 'friends with benefits' entails. In his humble opinion, they're nailing it.

    Once friendship is on the table, Shane reconsiders the usefulness and immutability of the public rivalry narrative. Surely the NHL can make just as much money from a bromance as it can from a rivalry?

    A missed call from J.J., a dinner at All-Stars, and an ill-considered mad dash to the airport send Shane's season in a very different direction to the disciplined three-peat he'd been planning back in October.


    "This rivalry thing: it was everyone else who said we hated each other off the ice. There’s no rule that says we have to keep doing that forever.” Shane stared outside, past the blinding billboards and down at the streets below. “It was nice. Hanging out, last time.”

    He knew what it looked like when Rozanov shut down, when he closed himself off and pushed the world away. He’d finish the conversation abruptly, curt, clipped, and retreat. So Shane knew he’d won when Rozanov finally answered with: “Are we six years old, Hollander? Asking if I want to play in sandbox with you?"

    "Is okay, Hollander," said Rozanov. "I will help you. You are," he paused. "Stunted. I looked up this word."
    -
    Or: teenage Ilya billets with the Hollanders. He and Shane stumble into what eventually becomes an intense, obsessive, codependent d/s dynamic that escalates wildly for years after. Special mentions to denial, repression, pining-while-fucking, Minnesota, sexting, eternal soulmate love, and being unbelievably horned up at every single moment of the day.

    Not a teen fic I promise! They are adults after chapter two.

    Summary

    Anyway, Shane didn't remember exactly what was in the folder ... But he knew they were all good shots of him.

    He hastily clicked open the folder, his eyes barely glancing through the dozen or so shots there, vaguely registering a picture with a sunset background from his condo balcony, something of him laughing, a picture of him working at his laptop with his glasses on...

    The director called him again, and he shook his head, the photos blurring. Whatever. It would have to do.

    He clicked "select all," then the messages icon, then Rozanov's name. Hit send.

    Summary

    Ilya and Shane soulbond with a handshake in a freezing parking lot in Saskatchewan. It actually doesn’t change very much, until Shane’s concussion drives everything haywire, forcing them into close proximity and an earlier confrontation with all the feelings they’ve been trying to ignore.

    Or: as it turns out, it’s easier than you’d think to be in someone’s head and still not know how they feel.

    Summary

    Shane’s heart dropped. He nodded once and sat up straighter, shoulders rolled back. “It is. I’m sorry if this is too far or whatever, but it’s what I want and I have to ask for what I want. It’s okay if you don’t want to. I’m not going to break up with you over this.” Or anything, really. Even if Ilya said he couldn’t stay a secret and wanted to fuck other people, Shane would let him.

    Ilya’s own heart split in two at that. He turned, metal scraping wood on the deck, and took both of Shane’s hands in his. Time and trust linked their fingers together automatically.

    “I’m not saying I do not want this,” Ilya began. Shane let out a small breath, shoulders relaxing. “But you must know, the things you are coming up with for sex are not things I have done.”

    Something about the cottage made him be honest. Maybe it was the promise last summer of being honest and saying how they really felt. Maybe it was the distance between that unknown precipice and the leap of faith they took together. Whatever it was, Ilya had to come clean if he was going to keep giving Shane whatever his brain and body wanted.
