    Summary

    If Ilya Rozanov was set to be branded for life in the space above his butt crack, he was damn well going to pay a premium for it.

    Booking with one of the most exclusive tattoo studios in North America was the easy bit.

    Having his brain melted into oblivion by Shane Hollander’s steady hands and even steadier voice was decidedly not part of the plan.

    Or, the one where tattoo artist Shane is very good at giving instructions.

    Summary

    “Ilya, what are we gonna do?” Shane says.

    Ilya finishes whatever he has been doing on his phone, and tosses it gently to the bed beside him. He crosses the room to Shane, stands in front of him, squeezes into his shoulders with his big hands, rubbing them like he means to warm them up.

    “Looks like we will have a little vacation,” he says, with a big obnoxious grin.

     


     

    Boston and Montreal are sent to Paris to play against each other in an exhibition series in January 2017. Ilya and Shane decide to stay in Paris for one more night. Just one more night, so they can talk. Maybe finally understand each other.

    They aren't expecting a volcano to erupt in Iceland and close all the airspace in Europe, leaving them stranded there. Together.

    Summary

    Ilya could feel Shane’s heartbeat. Cradled there on Ilya’s lap, in his arms, offering Ilya all the peace and steadiness he’d almost felt slip through his fingers, his pulse was a grounding rhythm. Proof of life, of reality.

    Shane was there, with him, still. He hadn’t left when Ilya told him about his family and about Russia. About his father. He’d climbed into his lap and held him, like it was easy.

    So there it was: Shane wasn’t just anyone’s, anymore. No longer belonged to a world and a woman that Ilya couldn’t be.

    Ilya kissed him and kissed him; how could he not? The taste of him was home.

    Or: what happened between Shane sitting in Ilya’s lap and the ‘goodnight Shane/goodnight Ilya’ moment.

    Summary

    Ilya swallowed audibly. “Maybe it will do nothing.”

    “Yes,” Shane said suddenly, like he hadn’t thought of the possibility. “You’re right, it’s…they’re probably just sugar pills. A placebo. They can’t legally sell anything more than that…right?”

    Or, Ilya receives a bottle of gas station erectile dysfunction pills as a birthday gag gift.

    Shane accidentally takes one. By accident. As a mistake.

    There are consequences.

    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.
