Summary
"Ilya had loved him through his worst moments. Ilya had helped him find a therapist when he’d collapsed on the floor of their hotel bathroom after losing a particularly brutal game, scratching at his chest. Ilya had held him, even when Shane yelled at him because there was panic crawling under his skin and he felt as though it might claw its way out. Ilya had told him it was okay; that it didn’t make him a bad player to resent the spotlight sometimes, that it didn’t make him a bad teammate to hate the team when they were too loud and too drunk and too physical, that it didn’t make him a bad person to need space to breathe. Ilya saved him.
And look what you give him in return. You’re a shitty husband, Shane Hollander.
You don’t deserve his last name."

Summary
The kitchen and everything in it, including Smitty, smells like vanilla.
Mack loves the smell. Just last night after Will was done with baking, he buried his face in the crook of Will’s neck and sniffed him like an over-eager dog.
Will had called him a weirdo for it, but Mack is far past caring. He knows deep down that Will likes that about him, loves his weirdest, messiest parts like it’s as easy as breathing. And Mack doesn’t mind showing these parts of him if it’s with Will.
Will, who’s busy in the kitchen again today, just like he was yesterday. Watching the Great British Bake off with his mom and Grace for years turned out a valuable asset to further endear himself to his teammates and after the success of his banana bread at Thanksgiving, Will has turned their kitchen into Santa’s Cookie Workshop.
If only there wasn’t one problem. All the cookies he bakes, Will lamented to the team yesterday, mysteriously vanish overnight.

Kissed someone. Told her to leave.
Still thinking of you.
Oh, you looked at me.
Fuck, look at you, sweetheart.
My pretty boy.
Get your hands off of her waist.
I know you can feel your phone vibrating.
I know you feel me looking at you.
Tell her you have to go. NOW.
Hollander, I will not ask again.

Summary
Rozanov cocked his head. “You speak Russian? Or just the curse words?”
“Yes, I speak Russian,” he snapped, defensive and angry. He knew that it had been a mistake to even try to be friendly with Rozanov. “Why? Do I not look Russian to you?” He scoffed.
“No, not really,” Rozanov said. Some of his teammates laughed, although they mostly looked surprised that Shane was speaking to them at all. Rozanov didn’t laugh, though. “Are you Russian?”
“Go fuck yourself.”
+++
Despite an inauspicious start, when Russia’s Ilya Rozanov learns that Canada’s Shane Hollander is fluent in Russian at their first World Junior Championships tournament, it changes everything and sets them on a different course. Instead of being branded as rivals from the very beginning, Ilya and Shane start off as friends.
And, after all, a little friendly rivalry never hurt anyone, did it?
