    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov is nothing if not determined to walk each of the million steps to the plan Shane has come up with to bring them to their much sought-after Happily Ever After. Unfortunately for him, his reputation precedes him, and it's harder to integrate to his new team than he thought it would be. Maybe it's him, maybe only one Canadian was born with the misfortune of being able to love him, or maybe, he hopes, he just needs to give it more time.

    or

    A series of misunderstandings, a bar fight, a trip to jail, and outing oneself under duress, all in the name of love.

    Featuring Luca Haas' attempts to meddle, a healthy dose of Russian diminutives, and of course, the Scott Hunter of it all.

    Summary

    The morning Shane leaves to get groceries, Ilya tells him to be careful. It's raining.

    Shane doesn't make it back.

    In a place between what was and what comes next, he waits — because that's what you do when you've spent eleven years cataloguing every expression on a man's face and still managed to leave without saying the important things out loud.
    Ilya will find his way here eventually. He always finds his way.

    OR: a love story told in two parts — the morning that ends it, and the lobby where it doesn't.

    Summary

    “No, Ilya, stay.” The last word came out as a whine.

    “Why is he calling you Ilya?” Pike asked.

    "Why is he asking you to stay?” Hollander’s mom followed.

    Ilya shrugged. “How would I know?”

    Hollander lifted his arm out, as if reaching for Ilya. “Because I want him to stay.” It was said in a tone that seemed to say, 'obviously'.

    “Shane,” Hollander’s dad started. “Um- what’s going on? I thought we hated Rozanov.” He seemed to realise what he’d said and glanced at Ilya. “Sorry.”

    “Is fine.”

    "No, I don't hate him. I love him."

    Cliff's jaw was firmly hanging open, and he didn't think it was going to move anytime today. He felt as if he'd been punched in the stomach, all the air ripped away from his lungs.

    "Am I dreaming?" Cliff muttered to himself.

    Pike let out a strained laugh. "I think someone spiked my coffee this morning."

    Summary

    “Friendly chats. For years. On Instagram.” Ilya glanced up at Shane, who looked… confused. Truly, honestly confused. Like they’d been sending cordial emails and not Instagram chats. And why did that make Ilya smile? A low, rich laugh slipped from his lips. “You really have no idea?”

    “What?”

    “Instagram is for… chatting, yes?” Ilya waggled his eyebrows. “But also, for, what do you call it? Sliding into DMs?”
