    Summary

    Six months ago, Shane’s intimate conversation and break-up with Rose Landry was recorded and leaked. In those six months, his life had completely upended and everything had changed, for better or for worse. Except for Ilya. He still has Ilya, and he’s beginning to understand that he always will.

    It’s 2018. Shane Hollander has to figure out his new life, in a new city, on a new team, while being out to the world but not by his own choice. Ilya, along for the ride, also has to learn what it means to be connected to a place, to a person, and to his own inner truth.

    (Sequel to “something you can fix,” set post-Heated Rivalry, pre-The Long Game)

    Summary

    Five Conversations Yuna has with Ilya, and one conversation she has with Shane. Ch. 5: Quebec City for Christmas.

    It's a bad idea to go public. It's probably a worse idea to not. But it's not Yuna's decision.

    OR

    Ilya needs a mother. Luckily, Yuna is mother.

    Summary

    Struggling to recover from a career-ending injury and desperate for a new meaning, Shane Hollander is ready to give up his life's passion: Ice Hockey.

    Four thousand miles away, the prodigy of another ice sport faces a different kind of ending; one that forces him to exist as a singular person after a lifetime spent as one half of a whole.

    When a coincidence brings the two together in Moscow, they’re faced with the purpose of beginning something, and how it can be just as important as letting something end.
