Summary
Shane Hollander, hockey enthusiast and licensed massage therapist, is an expert in helping athletes keep their bodies in tip-top shape. Working with the Boston Raiders should've been his career milestone.
One Ilya Rozanov makes things much, much more complicated. Relentless on the ice and unreadable everywhere else, Ilya unsettles Shane in ways that have nothing to do with hockey and everything to do with proximity, restraint, and the dangerous pull of something unspoken.
OR
Shane is a sports therapist that starts working with the Boston Raiders.
Strong hands shifted to the back of Shane’s head, to the nape of his neck. That’s when time began to blur, seconds melting together until they barely existed at all. That’s when Rozanov leaned in – and when Shane followed. Like the strike of flint against wood. They existed in that moment, and in the wildfire that followed.

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?

Summary
Shane gets hit at the last Raiders VS Metros game for the playoffs. He doesn't die, but, to him, it's suddenly rookie season. He hates Ilya, but can't seem to stop looking at him. 3 videos of Scott Hunter help refresh his memory, but 50 videos of Ilya Rozanov doesn't satiate the hole he feels.
And Ilya? He already confessed he’s in love with Shane, he can't take those words back. It affects his hockey career, his sex life, and his judgment. He looks for Shane everywhere… and Shane unknowingly may be too.
*****
A slow burn angst where Shane unknowingly chases Ilya as Ilya tries to compensate for his uncontrollable sense of loss, indulging in others;. It's not hard for him to find a one night stand, after all.
