    Summary

    A world without marriage or sexuality labels, everyone is just waiting to shake hands with their soulmate. I put the canon in a blender and added a little recognition from elfquest. (Soul meets soul, when skin meets skin)
    ---------------
    Then Rozanov leaned in and Shane felt his breath catch in his throat. They weren't touching but the proximity alone was enough to make Shane's whole nervous system sizzle.

    “Can’t you feel it?” Rozanov whispered, his voice rough with desire.

    “No,” Shane lied.

    “I ache to touch you,” Rozanov almost moaned. His voice was so soft and full of need. Shane could feel his own body respond to it. He knew exactly how Rozanov felt.

    But he didn’t want to feel this way about this man. It should have been someone else. Anyone else.

    “We are nothing,” Shane said. “Go away, Rozanov.” And then he got into his car and drove away. He didn’t look in the rear view mirror as he left because he did not want to see the look on Rozanov’s face.

    Summary

    Everyone knew that love could heal. With just a kiss to the cheek or forehead, it could heal papercuts and little scrapes. And there were rules, of course. It could only be healed by a kiss, the press of lips to skin of the injured person. The more kisses shared between two people, the more potent the magic became. The love had to be mutual and genuine. The intensity of love altered what one was capable of healing. Stronger love could heal wounds that were deeper, concussions and diseases and gashes large enough to need stitches. Nothing much bigger, though.

    Unless you were soulmates.

    Soulmates were supposed to create such a bond that they could heal anything that afflicted their soulmate. The love between soulmates still had to be there, but the magic was more potent. The stronger the bond between soulmates, the more they could heal. There were even a handful of cases where a person had brought their soulmate back from the dead. A love so pure, so strong, so genuine, that it reached beyond death, that it pushed air into lungs and restarted a heart. All healed with a true love’s kiss.

    These were just stories, though. And, besides, soulmates didn’t exist anymore.

    Summary

    Ilya Rosanov cares too much. He forms a soul bond with Shane Hollander: a bond he knows must be one-sided, since Hollander would never love him back. So, he does what he knows is best, and tries to stay away from the man. No matter how much it hurts.

    Staying away is easier said than done, though. Especiallly when Hollander is on the news for his terrible hockey playing. Especially when Boston have a game against Montreal, and Ilya sees Shane struggling himself.

    Ilya is selfish. Even so, he can't stay away from Hollander, not when he's hurting. He'll fix things, no matter how painful it is to get close to Shane, knowing that Shane could never love him back.
