    Summary

    Contrasting with the clench of his jaw, the rigid line of shoulders, the dark scrunch of anger on his face, when Ilya brings his hand up to cup Shane’s cheek, thumb very lightly brushing against his injured bottom lip, the touch is as gentle as ever.

    "Who did this to you?”

    Shane swallows, heart soaring painfully at the touch. He was convinced he’d never warm up, the chill of tonight just too strong especially with how poorly he’d dressed himself. But the press of Ilya’s palm against his skin has his insides flaring to life. His own hands tremble uselessly in his lap, lips unconsciously protruding into a small pout as he leans just a fraction into the contact.
    ________________

    Or, no matter how much Shane tries to convince himself they’re no good for each other, he and Ilya are the only ones who truly know how to handle one another.
    They bring out the best and the worst in each other, at the same damned time.

    Summary

    The League thinks it would be good optics for it's two greatest players and rivals to sit down and have an 'Actors on Actors' style chat.

    Summary

    “Hey,” a voice says from in front of him, “are you having a panic attack or something?”

    Shane looks up, startled. Across the table sits a man with warm, blue eyes; curly hair; and a jawline firm enough to push someone into the boards. His face is striking, and also one Shane has seen before, in miniature on his iPad during several of the few hundred cross-country flights he’s taken over the last six years.

    Holy shit, he thinks, Ilya Rozanov.

    Or: In November 2016, Shane Hollander, golden boy of the MLH, meets a movie star who will challenge everything he thinks he knows about himself, his desires, and his plans for his future. That movie star is someone different than you might expect.

    Summary

    “I feel really good about this kid, I think he could be great on your wing, he just needs some help settling in. Someone to show him the ropes.”

    “Yes.”

    The line went silent for a moment. Ilya wasn’t really sure why his coach felt the need to run this by him.

    “Rozanov,” his coach said at last. “I want him to live with you.”

    Ilya blinked, then nearly shouted into the phone. “What?”
