    Summary

    “Ilya,” Hollander breathes, which—Ilya isn’t sure Hollander has ever called him by his first name. Surely he has sometime in seven years of acquaintance? But the sound of it is novel, unfamiliar. 

    And far from unpleasant. 

    Then Hollander says, “Baby,” and Ilya knows for certain that he’s never called Ilya that, because it takes the air right out of Ilya’s lungs and makes his guts twist and fuck, he would have remembered if Hollander had ever called him that. Especially in that reverent tone. 

    It’s nice. 

    Ilya doesn't remember being married to Shane Hollander. Probably, he should tell someone.

    He decides not to.

    Summary

    As a straight man, Ilya Rozanov has never had a gay roommate before, but it’s going pretty well. Shane Hollander is kind, silly, and an even bigger hockey nut than Ilya.

    So when Shane starts bringing men over, and Ilya begins to want to bash their fucking heads in, Ilya comes to a startling conclusion: He must be homophobic.

    (He’s jealous.)

    Summary

    “Shane doesn’t want to take something from Ilya that he enjoys. And he doesn’t want to plant the seed of resentment. He’s already asked Ilya to give up so many things for him. He’s asked Ilya to always come back to him in the end, and Ilya always does and always will. That has to be enough for Shane. It doesn’t matter what Ilya does with other people. It’s just sex.”

    ——

    When Ilya offers Shane an open relationship during The Long Game, Shane assumes that’s because Ilya isn’t willing to be monogamous. Ilya has always been with other people. Why would that change now?

    Summary

    Ilya knew that Shane Hollander loved him in the same way he knew that Ottawa was a boring city. It was an obvious and incontrovertible fact. So why did it bother him so much that Shane rarely said the words 'I love you' out loud?
    Or
    Shane's been telling Ilya that he loves him constantly in his own way and Ilya finally figures it out with the help of David and Yuna.

    Summary

    Ilya has always known Shane could do better than him. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that he’s finally found it.

    Found someone else.

    Because that’s what this is, isn’t it?
