Summary
The Boxing Day argument changes everything.
This time: there is no emergency Centaur plane landing. No moment of clarity. No grand realization waiting around the corner.
Instead, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov come to terms with the fact that they are not on the same page about their relationship. Ilya, the physical touch king, is ready to stop hiding. Shane, the reserved, this-needs-a-15-step-plan king, still needs more time.
So they break up.
Ilya throws himself into therapy, starts taking antidepressants, adopts a dog, befriends a very attractive new reporter, and develops a newfound commitment to living authentically. Shane is left wondering: what happens when hockey, the thing that’s always defined him, no longer feels like enough?
A canon-divergent story beginning after the Boxing Day argument in The Long Game.
OR: because my daddy Ilya deserved more than a plane-crash induced panicked proposal & my baby Shane deserved more than a social media outing.

Ilya has two problems.
The first is that his best friend is freshly single and needs to get laid. The second is that Ilya is having some...weird feelings about it.
These are completely platonic and heterosexual concerns for his friend, of course.

Summary
Heat spread across Ilya's face. His mouth fell open slightly. He let out a short, stuttered laugh of disbelief. This couldn't- he was straight, he wasn't-
“Finally got you at your own game.” Shane's smirk widened to a smile, his hand clapping down on Ilya's shoulder to squeeze it slightly. For once in his life, Ilya was unable to find his voice.
“Damn.” Shane laughed, jostling him a bit. “If I had known this was all it took to get you to shut the fuck up, I would have started flirting back years ago.”
----
When old college friends Ilya and Shane show up to their mutual best friend's wedding, they are ready to fulfill their duties as bridesmen. Even after years of not seeing each other, they fall right back into their usual banter.
Ilya loves to flirt with Shane. Shane loves to tell him to fuck off. It's a running a bit. Nothing more than a joke between two friends; because Shane is gay and Ilya is straight and it doesn't actually mean anything…until Shane finally decides to flirt back, and Ilya's world suddenly tilts on its axis.

Summary
When Shane Hollander looks into the future he sees— not a flat sheet of ice, not that, not anymore, but something equally as empty.
His backup plan was always to go to university. He hadn't thought he'd ever need it, not really. Especially not near the end, when everything felt so certain. But his grades were good, his mom made sure of that, so when he woke up in the hospital he already knew what he was going to do next. But after?
There's a standard path people take, he knows, that comes after school. But when he tries to picture it, slot himself into the picket fence and the corporate overhead fluorescents, it disappears. Like it was never going to be real at all.
(Or: after ending up at a jazz bar to celebrate the end of finals season, Shane Hollander finds himself where he never thought he'd be— in the orbit of NHL superstar Ilya Rozanov.)

Summary
It has been half a year since the King of Adarlan and the Queen of Witches parted ways in Terrasen. They both struggle to rule and rebuild entire kingdoms, while also trying to outrun the dark shadows of grief and trauma. Dorian and Manon find blessed release in the physical comforts of each others' bodies, but it remains to be seen whether they can be more than that. Will Manon find it in herself to walk through, rather than away, from her loss? Can she learn to let go of the iron-fisted grip on her heart when everything she once loved was ripped away from her? What would it look like if Dorian and Manon were both to truly believe that they deserved love and compassion?
A direct continuation of the Throne of Glass world post-Kingdom of Ash, this story explores how Dorian and Manon find their way to one another. As they both navigate the complexities and heavy burden of duty, they attempt to find healing--individually, together, and for their broken nations.
