    Summary

    Cliff was excited for Ilya because Ilya sounded excited and happy, and generally just enthusiastic in a way Cliff hadn't seen him be in a really long time. So if Shane Hollander was the reason for that, great. Cliff was on board.

    He was just…confused.

    Or: Shane gets his first shovel talk.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander’s life revolves around hockey to an almost concerning degree. The assumption by pretty much everyone who knows him is that Shane therefore has no time for love. Then they meet Liliya Rozanova, Russia’s darling figure skater and Hollander’s apparently long-time girlfriend. There’s something about this situation that isn’t quite right.

    or - five times Shane introduces people his girlfriend, Liliya Rozanova, and the one time that everybody is introduced to Ilya Rozanov, his long-term boyfriend.

    Summary

    It takes some time for Shane to notice.

    With three kids, they are busy, so it’s not surprising when Shane doesn’t observe at first. Shane and Ilya are both forty-five years old, and they have such full lives that sometimes time feels like a cruel joke. They’re busy, and always on the go, and blindingly happy.

    Shane tells himself this is why it takes him so long to realize. 

    That lately, Ilya’s gone quieter during their evening nighttime routine before bed. When they shower and brush their teeth, Shane meticulously flossing between each molar while Ilya sort of haphazardly takes care of his own business, that Ilya doesn’t joke or laugh as much as usual. When they shower, he lets Shane get out first every time, and spends a little extra moment to himself. That he doesn’t lean in to let Shane card his hands through his hair anymore, and he used to love the feeling of that.

    Summary

    “And why is a Russian prince inviting me to his matchmaking party? Do they need gentry chaperones or something?”

    “No, no, and it’s not a party, it’s a whole series of affairs, it’s…Shane, you’re invited as a candidate. A marriage candidate.”

    Shane pulls the phone away to make sure the line’s still connected and he hasn’t accidentally started watching Downton Abbey or something.

    Prince Ilya Grigoryevich Rozanov meets Shane Hollander, Duke of Montreal.

    Summary

    It was supposed to just be a funny story, about how his brother had jumped him in the shower one day and he'd had to fight him off with a hairdryer— he hadn't been 'sexually assaulted' or anything, come on. Sure, that could happen to men, but Ilya wasn't the kind of man it happened to.
