Summary
Passing by windows in high apartments, in mirror reflections, behind veils — Ilya sees his mother a hundred times over, for the first time since the last time.
(or: a year spent apart that should've been spent together)

Summary
The research showed him that the foundations of a strong spine were in the controllable factors: appropriate core strength, flexibility, hip mobility. A strong diet, no smoking. Yoga in the morning, thirty minutes designed to mobilize and stabilize. These are the things that would keep him safe.
A fact is a fact is a fact, and Shane has lived his life largely following the idea that a fact, once proven, is immutable to change.
His facts do not account for the fact that, during a Centaurs game in February, he’s skating like a man possessed trying to score a last minute clincher against Tampa. They do not account for a D-man who delivers a fucking shit hit just a few inches too low, unable to check him cleanly and sending him into the boards. By the time his pelvis hits the board, there’s still time for his head to watch the puck fly to Luca before his shoulders make contact too, still facing forwards.
An injury puts Shane out of action - forcing him to reckon with the idea that, just maybe, his years of careful control have all come to naught.

Summary
No headline. No declaration that Ilya Rozanov's life had almost ended. The world did not know how close it had come to losing one of the most beautiful souls in existence. Shane Hollander learned on that day- a little over a year ago- that Ilya would always run to him. Ilya would not let the world pass idly by when he didn't know that Shane was okay. Now, Shane Hollander knew that he was very much the same. But this terror was different- because Ilya could decide at any time that he was done with life and Shane wanted him so desperately to find some reason- any reason- to live.

Summary
Shane was tired, exhausted really. He knew he had to eat before going to bed, could feel the hunger gnawing at his insides. He could feel it sitting in his throat. He ignored it in favor of just sitting on his couch staring at the wall across from him. His mind running a million miles an hour while simultaneously running circles around itself. He knew he should shower, he should move to his bed. None of it felt possible. He had a headache, he hated it. He hated everything about it because he wanted to do all of it; he just couldn’t make himself move.
He should call Ilya or at least text him. He just couldn’t.
Shane is fine, truley he is. Everything is just fine.

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?"
