Summary
Loving Shane Hollander had taught Ilya Rozanov how to slow down.
They had a plan now. A life that made sense. Something quiet, stable, and boring. For once, Ilya believed peace might be something he could actually have, not just something he pretended not to want.
Then Troy Barrett arrives from Toronto and starts looking at what Ilya has built like it’s something he might take. Like peace is something might need too.
Ilya tells himself it’s nothing. A misunderstanding. He plays captain. He plays fair. He plays nice.
But loathing has always come easier than love, and once everything starts to unravel, Ilya learns there are only so many times you can choose peace before you are forced to show how far you’ll go to keep Shane Hollander to yourself.
Or
Troy Barrett wants Shane badly enough to burn with the ship. Ilya is determined to get rid of him before everything between him and his freckled love falls apart.
(Ilya’s POV of the series of unfortunate events best called ‘Troy Barrett’)

Summary
Troy Barrett comes to Ottawa wanting stability. He tells himself he wants the team, the routine, the structure, the safety of fitting in without needing too much from anyone. This is his clean start, and he needs to do whatever it takes to keep it.
What he finds instead is Shane Hollander, amazing perfect Shane Hollander, and the uncomfortable realisation that the thing he’s been trying hardest not to want might be the only thing that actually feels like what he needs.
As lines blur and tempers rise, Troy learns the hard way that wanting to belong can turn into wanting to keep, and that some things aren’t up for negotiation, especially when there’s a Russian captain who’s already decided what’s not on offer.
or
“Hey, Ilya?” Troy asks, already regretting it. “I was actually going to ask you about someone.”
The moment he says Shane Hollander’s name, the locker room goes quiet, and Troy knows he’s crossed a line he didn’t fully understand.
Or

Even in the dim light, it was still easy to pick out the delicately embossed surface of the object as it came into view. Light iridescent opal inlaid with dark ebony tones in the shape of ornate letters.
A Ouija board.
