    Summary

    Sex with Ilya is the opposite of hockey, which is what Shane loves about it, somehow. In hockey, everything is bright, cold, sharp, precise: the click-shush of his skates; the ice-tap of hockey sticks; the clean swish of the net. But then with Ilya. He melts into the warm blur of Ilya’s voice, Ilya’s fingers, Ilya’s dick in him. Ilya tells him he’s good. Under Ilya’s hands he’s the closest to nothing, the closest to perfect that he can ever be.

    Ilya has one more year on his Boston contract. Shane has never been in a real relationship. The only way they know how to resolve conflict is sex. It will probably be fine.

    Summary

    Following an afternoon of sex and tuna melts, Shane goes searching for the explicit rules of what being 'friends with benefits' entails. In his humble opinion, they're nailing it.

    Once friendship is on the table, Shane reconsiders the usefulness and immutability of the public rivalry narrative. Surely the NHL can make just as much money from a bromance as it can from a rivalry?

    A missed call from J.J., a dinner at All-Stars, and an ill-considered mad dash to the airport send Shane's season in a very different direction to the disciplined three-peat he'd been planning back in October.


    "This rivalry thing: it was everyone else who said we hated each other off the ice. There’s no rule that says we have to keep doing that forever.” Shane stared outside, past the blinding billboards and down at the streets below. “It was nice. Hanging out, last time.”

    He knew what it looked like when Rozanov shut down, when he closed himself off and pushed the world away. He’d finish the conversation abruptly, curt, clipped, and retreat. So Shane knew he’d won when Rozanov finally answered with: “Are we six years old, Hollander? Asking if I want to play in sandbox with you?"

    Summary

    Rather than give him the joint, Ilya takes it back between his own lips and sucks in a deep breath, the tip glowing as he does so. Then, before Shane can process it, he’s reaching up and sliding one large hand around the back of Shane’s neck, pulling him down so their lips meet.

    Shane gasps softly, and Ilya takes the opportunity to blow smoke into his open and waiting mouth.

    Oh, God. Are you there? It’s me, Shane Hollander. We’ve had our differences, but I think I’d like to convert for real this time. I’m ready. Open the pearly white gates. I’m coming up.

    Shane goes to a house party, gets high, then gets on his knees. bon appetite

    Summary

    After 20 years of hooking up, Rozanov says he’s retiring from hockey. Shane can’t take it seriously.

    "Yeah right," Shane scoffs. “You won’t retire while I’m beating you in the cup count.”

    Ilya smiles with perplexed fondness, as if he cannot fathom the hockey-logic driving Shane’s mind but remains enamoured anyway.
