    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov is not okay, and his walls are finally caving in.

    When a concerned teammate breaks the locker room code to text Shane about his captain's sudden collapse, Shane has to face the fact that he's two hours away in Montreal and helpless.

    In a panic, he asks his parents to check on Ilya's Ottawa apartment. But David and Yuna don't just find a messy room, they end up snooping through a drawer and discovering a hidden stack of handwritten letters.

    Reading the words Ilya could never say out loud, the Hollanders are forced to confront the horrific reality of his childhood and the crushing weight of the trauma he’s been carrying completely alone.

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov loves his husband normally.

    Or, at least, that is what he tells everyone.

    Unfortunately for Shane Hollander, Ilya’s definition of normal includes saying “my husband Shane” at every possible opportunity, reposting thirst edits from his verified account, attaching himself to Shane in public like an emotionally unstable wolf, and treating every casual compliment as a personal threat to the sanctity of their marriage.

    Shane complains. Loudly. Often.

    He also never really tells him to stop.

    A story about being loved too much, too publicly, too ridiculously — and learning, slowly, to love loudly back.

    Summary

    Throughout the final year of his contract with the Voyageurs, Shane, his family and friends, and hockey fans all wonder what he’s going to do about his expiring contract.

    Change is scary. Voicing that you're scared – to others but mainly to yourself – is scarier.

    Summary

    "We are actually so fucking washed," Shane bitches. "I'm never getting better and you are stuck on a losing team that sucks. Everyone is going to forget about us."

    "Don't make me trip you," Ilya says, calmly. "Let's do another lap."

    "No," Shane barks. Ilya raises his eyebrows.

    Shane refuses to accept this. This perpetual cycle of suck. When he invited Ilya to his cottage almost four years ago now, he didn't expect their relationship to turn into their fucking burial ground.

    Shane finds himself grounded in Ottawa for the foreseeable future. With his newfound free time, he hangs out with his family, eats Costco Rotisserie chicken, and whips Ilya Rozanov back into a champion.
