    Summary

    He goes to the fridge to look for the bell peppers, and while he’s in there, he says, “It was a good first kiss. As far as I could tell. I hadn’t really kissed anyone before.” He takes an orange bell pepper from the bag his mom brought over and brings it over to the counter. “Not anyone I really wanted to kiss anyway.” He cuts the top and bottom off the pepper and then works on cutting out the seeds. “Ilya’s a good kisser,” he adds. And he can’t believe he’s just said that out loud to his mom.

    Shane and Ilya's dinner with Shane's parents at his house following the end of episode six.

    Summary

    We could talk about what the fuck Shane sees in you.

    Ilya is still thinking about it hours later. In Shane’s dark bedroom, with the man in question snoring softly beside him, Ilya can’t let Hayden’s comment at dinner go.

    In the moment, he didn’t process the jab as anything more than an excuse to take a cheap shot right back at Hayden. But now that the dust has settled on his first official conversation with Shane’s best friend, Ilya can’t forget the snide remark.

    It’s not the first time someone questioned why someone like Ilya would be like someone with Shane. The first time anyone ever saw them as a couple, Shane’s dad made a comment about Shane being unable to find any ‘nice boys in Montreal’. Sure, they were still reeling from the shock of Ilya being more than a hockey player that runs his mouth more than not, but Ilya understands the implication. He is not a ‘nice boy’, not the kind of man that Shane deserves.

    Summary

    The Swiss National League doesn’t care about the legendary Hollander-Rozanov rivalry. When the MLH can’t negotiate with the Hockey Players’ Union in time to prevent a hockey lockout at the start of the 2015 season, the Zürich Lions jump at the chance to sign both Shane and Ilya to short-term contracts. For four months in Switzerland, they share a team, a line, a house, and a bed. 

    Then the lockout ends in January, and it’s time to go back. Back to different countries, cities, lives. Beds.

    Reentry is harder than expected.

    Summary

    “Oh God, Sha - shit,” Ilya stammered.

    Shane froze for just a fraction of a second. He had caught that, the beginning of his name. The name that had scared him so badly he had run away. Whatever Shane had told Ilya, about being sorry, about liking him, it hadn’t undone what he had done and said before.

    I can’t do this.

    But he could, damn it. He could, and he wanted to, and he was fucking going to.

    Summary

    “So,” Shane said, after another minute. “Welcome to Montreal.”

    Ilya just started laughing, his body shaking against Shane’s.

    “Do not tell me you prepare for all your home games this way,” he said.

    “I shouldn’t have prepared for any home games this way,” Shane said, glancing at the clock by the bed. He should go, but he couldn’t make himself.

    Summary

    “I felt…bad. It felt bad. I had missed you so much and then I finally saw you again and you -” Shane cut himself off. “I know you didn’t mean to,” he started again. “I know you weren’t trying to be… I don’t know. You didn’t mean to.”

    “I didn’t mean to what?” Ilya’s pulse quickened. Shane wouldn’t meet his eye.

    Shane took a deep breath. “You didn’t mean to hurt me.”

    Ilya felt the words like a sucker punch to the stomach. He swallowed hard, fighting to keep his voice level. “I hurt you?”

    An offhand comment from Yuna triggers a conversation between Shane and Ilya about that night in Ilya's Vegas penthouse after the MLH awards. Ilya knew he had fucked up, but maybe not how much. Maybe now he can make up for it.

    Summary

    “You didn’t like it the last time we tried it,” Shane said.

    Ilya gave a one-shouldered shrug. “Was years ago. Maybe it is an acquired taste, like licorice.”

    “You also don’t like licorice,” Shane pointed out.

    “Yes, but I keep trying it because Luca likes it so much.”

    “And then you make a face and tell him how awful it is.”

    “When have I ever told you your dick is awful?” Ilya said, looking mildly offended. “I am its number one fan.”

    Summary

    "Hi, I'm Matt," the man said. His gaze swept over the table, and when he met Shane's eyes, he winked. "Great to meet all of you. I'm a big hockey fan."

    Shane flushed bright red. Because he recognized that voice, and he remembered that name, but there were billions of people in the world, and Shane had never considered the possibility that his old vacation hook-up would make a reappearance.

    "You're a fan?"

    In which Shane and Ilya (and a few friends) run into Mexico top (iykyk) at the Kingfisher.

    Summary

    The want tears through him like a hurricane, entirely unconcerned with all the destruction it might leave in its wake. Right now, tomorrow doesn’t matter. Right now they don’t have to consider the consequences of this reckless night they’re about to spend together; a night where all their unspoken rules are being tossed out the window in favour of simply letting their bodies be honest.

    They can figure all this out later, but now…now Ilya needs Shane naked and writhing beneath him before he combusts.

    (Or, what happens in the hotel room in Florida.)

    Summary

    When did this happen? It was only supposed to be sex- amazing, mind-blowing, dangerous sex- because Ilya liked the idea of fucking his rival. He liked the risk of them getting caught, he liked riling Shane up, teasing him on the ice rink and then taking it out on him between the sheets.

    And now, Shane is holding him as he cries.

    But the truth is- Ilya is glad for it.

    “I know,” Shane says quietly, as if Ilya had said his thoughts out loud. “I know."

    Summary

    Shane lifts one eyelid again to look at Rozanov. His eyes are red-rimmed. Like he’s been crying. “Why…why aren’t you in Boston?”

    Rozanov’s brow furrows. “Why would I be in Boston?”

    “You, you’re captain. Raiders. Boston.”

    The room is silent except for the beeping of monitors.

    In 2023, Shane takes a bad hit on the ice. When he wakes up, the last thing he remembers is a tuna melt.

    There’s a lot to get used to.

    Summary

    "Do not forget this.
    Love is not who you were expecting.
    Love is not what you can predict.
    Maybe Love is in New York City already asleep.
    You are in California, Australia, wide awake.
    Maybe Love is always in the wrong time zone.
    Maybe Love is not ready for you.
    Maybe you are not ready for Love.

    Maybe Love just isn’t the marrying type.
    Maybe the next time you see Love is 20 years after the divorce.
    Love looks older now but just as beautiful as you remember." - When Love Arrives by Sarah Kay and Phil Kaye
