    Summary

    Someone somewhere said any two people on earth can be linked with only 6 degrees of separation. Shane played this game in his head sometimes. He would make up maps of these links, just for the exercise of it. What he didn't do was map his connection to Ilya Rozanov, who had yet to walk into his life and crash down all 6 degrees of separation in one reckless fell swoop. Shane didn't know it, but he was already 6 degrees away from Ilya Rozanov. Because Shane was driving to Montreal, and Montreal was where a modeling agency he didn't know the name of was based. And that modeling agency recently put an ad out for a new campaign. That ad was seen by a girl named Svetlana who had curly hair and a quick, smart tongue. And that girl had called her best friend, Ilya Rozanov, and said, “There's work for you in Montreal, if you're good enough.” And Ilya Rozanov had been good enough, and was finally, finally getting out of Moscow after 19 miserable years. And those 6 degrees of separation would soon be just 1, because Ilya Rozanov & Shane Hollander would be existing in the same city without either knowing the other one existed.

    Summary

    “You are braver than me, dude. You could not pay me to call some of my exes.”

    Ilya shrugged. Truthfully, it was a stretch to call anybody on the list an ex. The only person he had been an official, labelled boyfriend to was Rob, and he wasn’t about to call Rob to ask where things went wrong.

    “Wait, how are you going to talk to that one guy if you don't even know his name?” Cliff asked.

    Fuck. Ilya should have taken his time to think of someone easier to put on the heartbreak list.

    “Not sure. I will work on it,” Ilya scowled.  

    ━━━━━━━━

    When Ilya’s boyfriend Rob dumps him, he decides to reach out to his top five heartbreaks to figure out why he is so easy to leave.

    Some people on the top five list are friends, some he hasn't spoken to in years. One man on the list proves hard to find, a one-night stand with beautiful freckles whose name Ilya never learned.

    High Fidelity-ish AU. Ilya owns a record shop and figures his shit out post-breakup as he finds the person he's meant to fall in love with.

    Summary

    Being the best hockey player in the world (fuck you, Rozanov) and living in a city as hockey-obsessed as Montreal makes being gay a little bit complicated for Shane - he can’t exactly go out to meet a man, not even if it’s just for sex. So when Hayden brings up this super discreet, super high profile, super anonymous sex party in New York, Shane lets himself be convinced to go. In an unexpected turn of events, he actually feels attracted to one of the partygoers and hooks up with the guy. After, he can’t get the beautiful stranger with the golden mask and the lily tattoo out of his head. Even more unexpectedly, their paths keep crossing until Shane finds himself falling in love.

    The game against Boston comes at a pretty bad time, Shane being consumed by thoughts of his “Lily.” During a face-off against Rozanov, the ice is pulled from underneath his skates…

    Or: What if Shane fell in love first and realized Lily was his biggest rival later?

    Summary

    In 2003, Shane Hollander is assigned a PenPal, and gains a friend. A friend who smokes, calls him boring, and gives him ridiculous nicknames.

    Across the world, Ilya Rozanov practices his English with a curious Canadian boy whose name he can't fucking remember.

    Or, before they were Canada's Shane Hollander and Russia's Ilya Rozanov, they were Cat and Elijah. Shane has no reason to suspect his childhood PenPal is his hockey rival, and Ilya has never even considered that the man he's falling for is also the boy he already fell in love with through letters and postcards.
