Summary
“What is there to talk about?”
“What’s there to talk about?!” Hollander scoffed, shaking his head. “You’re playing for my fucking team!”
“I know.”
“Why did you have to go and get traded?! You realise we’re going to have to see each other every day from now on, and play together, and-”
“Yes,” Ilya interrupted. He didn’t want to know how long Hollander’s list was. “I know.”
Hollander took a deep breath. “Okay, listen,” he said. “Just so we’re clear - we don’t know each other outside of playing against each other, right?”
“Right.”
“And we can’t- can’t hook up anymore.”
~
OR: Ilya gets traded to Montreal in October 2014. He's lonely, and angry, and he misses Boston. He doesn't know if it helps that Hollander is there or not.

God, Shane remembers thinking. I fucking hope not.

Summary
Shane has always trusted the Montreal Voyageurs, but it seems that trust was misplaced. In a post-game interview, a reporter informs him that his parents were in a car accident before his team ever did, and everything fractures in that moment.
Months of patterns that have excluded him finally come to a head. Shane makes a decision that detonates across the league — and his life.
A two-shot of Shane being ready to burn it all to the ground and finally choosing himself!

Summary
Shane Hollander has spent his whole life translating himself for a world that moves too fast and cares too little about the right things. Ilya Rozanov has never needed anyone to wait for him. Spring training gave them five weeks, a back field no one was watching, and a private language neither of them named.
It wasn’t supposed to mean anything. A pitcher and a catcher from rival organizations, learning each other’s signals. Convenient. Temporary. Easy to leave behind.
It wasn’t easy to leave behind.
Now they’re both in the Majors – Boston and New York, red and pinstripes, opposite sides of the oldest war in baseball – facing each other nineteen times a season in front of a country that has opinions about this rivalry. Every at-bat is a negotiation between what they know about each other and what they’re not allowed to want. The chemistry that made them brilliant in secret could unravel everything in public.
A slow burn about longing, bad timing, and the unbearable intimacy of knowing exactly how someone throws.

Summary
Ilya doesn’t even realize when Arthur slips from his thoughts. There’s no sharp turn, no clear moment where the article stops being about a little boy who loves reptiles and starts being about the man lying beside him in bed. It just… happens. The way his mind always seems to find Shane eventually, like water finding its lowest point.
