    Summary

    Shane is disciplined.

    He was raised that way; by his parents, by father Matthew, by his belief.

    There were hiccups, of course. Small disturbances in Shane's life that he has methodically worked to suppress, to make up for with more discipline.

    He is diligent in his studies at the local university, keeping his distance from people that aren't part of his church. Three times a week, he helps out with service, assisting father Matthew, and cleaning up after.

    -

    "Did you hear about the poor Rozanov boy?"

    Or; Shane is a devoted member of his church that definitely isn't a cult, and Ilya is the one thing he never expected.

    This is a story about religious guilt, loneliness, and, most of all, the all-consuming rollercoaster of first love.

    Summary

    "Hi, solnyshko.”
    The Russian pet name set a firework off inside Shane's mind as he heard it cooed from behind him. The intonation was just as he remembered, but the voice was much deeper.

    He turned and felt himself short circuit. It took every ounce of willpower to not let his jaw drop cartoonishly to the floor. Shane would recognize his individual features anywhere, even after 5 years. But it was as if someone had snapped their fingers and the smug, silly Russian boy who had been attached to Shane's hip for 3 summers was transformed into some sort of fucking Adonis right before his eyes.

    “Ilya-” was all Shane managed before strong arms were wrapped around his waist and lifting him off the ground in a greeting all too familiar from years ago.

     

    OR
    When Shane Hollander & Ilya Rozanov spent their summers as teens in an elite hockey camp, they quickly became inseparable friends. But they lose touch when Shane moves on as a prospect for the NHL and Ilya for the KHL.

    Years later, Montreal makes a bold move to take the hottest player in the KHL. After hearing of the Russian's reputation, the Montreal Captain is tasked with keeping his old best friend and new teammate out of trouble.
