    Summary

    Shane Hollander was the golden boy of Lincoln High. Ilya Rozanov was the history nerd who fell in love with him.

    Over the course of 20 years, they went from strangers to friends to lovers... then back to friends... then back to lovers... then into something in between.

    What will they become when Shane takes a job in Paris? And what will they become when Ilya asks him to stay?

    Summary

    He didn’t see the thunder coming.
    He flinched so hard his body almost lifted from the mattress. Shane understood.
    “Oh, Ilya,” he said it so gently, like he was speaking to a child, or a scared puppy. Or maybe both. At the same time, “Come here, sweetheart. It’s ok.”

    “I just can’t sleep. And you always said I could come to you if– If I needed it,” Luca’s voice was low, he was staring at the floor.
    “Yes, Luca, you should come to me when something is wrong. I am captain, so I am like mama duck with her ducklings."

     

    or

    While in Tampa for a game, a tropical storm hits the city and both Ilya and Luca find out how much easier it gets if you let yourself be vulnerable enough to get comforted.

    Summary

    If Shane was honest, he had not seen much of the movie at all. He kept getting distracted, looking at Ilya instead. It was stupid, really, but lately, he had been noticing the little things. 

    The way that the freckles on his back seem to make perfect constellations on his shoulders. Shane noticed the reflection of the colors on the screen in the set of his curls. The grin that slipped onto his lips so easily at any of the witty and dumb lines being said by actors who were seriously underpaid for the things they needed to do.

    Shane and Ilya have spent the last seventeen years of their lives together, from daycare, all the way to senior year.

    With life threatening to pull them in different directions, Shane needs to be brave.

    Summary

    Ilya sits down carefully and takes Shane’s hand. “I am going to ask you something, and I want you to try not to freak out, okay? Take a breath, think about it.”
    That sounds… serious.
    “The Centaurs are having a barbeque,” Ilya says. “I would like to go, and I would like you to come with me.”

    Shane meets the Centaurs. As Ilya's close personal friend slash charity partner from Canada.

    Summary

    PLANE CARRYING OTTAWA CENTAUR’S HOCKEY TEAM, COACH, PERSONNEL, REPORTEDLY LOST CONTACT, PRESUMED MISSING -

    Shane’s eyes scan over the words, once, twice. It’s not true. It’s some mistake. He knows it.

    “Lost contact?” Hayden asks, his tone a mix of concerned and confused. “What’s that mean? Like they lost their ability to communicate? Won’t that make landing hard?”

    J.J. frowns. “I do not think they will be landing,” he says solemnly.

    --

    The Ottawa Centaurs plane crashes in the Canadian wilderness. Shane tries to get answers while Ilya tries to stay alive.
