Summary
In Vegas, after they’d said everything right up to the edge of I love you, Shane and Ilya came up with a plan. It was long term, with many, many steps. There might be a spreadsheet somewhere that Shane won’t admit to.
But it’s a plan, nonetheless. Over the summer of 2014, they tweak it and add things important to the both of them. There are even many, extensive, contingency plans.
OR
Thanks to Shane's small lie the first time they hooked up, Shane and Ilya are together years earlier. Now, they have to figure out what to do about it.

Summary
Yuna and Ilya might not be close yet, but she certainly isn’t going to abandon him in some random Ottawa hotel room when he’s sick. And Ilya's powerless against these Hollanders — their earnest kindness, and their insistence on caring about him as though he deserves it.
Or: Yuna + Ilya's mortifying ordeal of being known.

Dude Ranch (I said saddle up, Cowboy) by loveinthemargins

Summary
Shane Hollander is Canada’s golden boy of hockey — disciplined, media-trained, and permanently scheduled down to the minute.
So when his parents surprise him with a “relaxing” vacation at a Texas dude ranch, he’s less than thrilled.
Dust. Cattle. Sweltering heat.
And then there’s Ilya Rozanov — ranch hand and all around horse/cattle/dog whisperer.
Somewhere between mending fences, learning to ride, and getting thoroughly outmatched by a man in cowboy boots, Shane discovers that maybe there’s more to life than hockey.
And maybe falling in love was never part of the plan — but Texas heat does strange things to a man.

Summary
As casually as he could, he shifted his hand where it was still held tightly in Rooster’s grip, inching his fingers forwards until they brushed against the exposed part of his wrist. Jake gently pressed the tips of his fingers down, searching with light movements until he found what he was looking for.
And there it was.
The soft beat of Rooster’s pulse thumped against the pads of his fingers, as slow and steady as the man approached every aspect of life. Jake felt the panic recede at once, the irrefutable proof that he had done it, he had saved Rooster, seeming to be enough for his brain to calm down.
-
Or, the five times Hangman checks Rooster’s pulse to remind himself he made it back from the mission, and the one time Rooster catches on.

Summary
Jacob Seresin was born and raised weak.
Delivered prematurely, he was small and fragile; a pitiable baby who always needed to be watched over. His conception was welcomed, his birth, undesirable.
(or: Jake Seresin throughout his life.)
