Summary
There’s an ache in her belly every day, screaming at her to go back. It’s gnaws at her bones until she feels numb, restless, like there’s no purpose to life if she’s not drafting NDA’s and fixing corporate fuck-ups. She tries to ignore it. In the mornings it creeps up her throat like bile, and by the afternoon she’s forced it back down, sorts all of her emotions into neat little filing cabinets, never to be opened again.
… or, after the GoJo deal, Gerri tries retirement. Roman tries therapy. They don't see each other for over a year.

Summary
rio had never made it a habit of staying after a hookup - it was one of her unspoken rules: she didn’t stay the night, and she didn’t get attached. but being around will felt so easy and natural that she couldn’t find herself breaking them, at least just a little.

the one that he’s wearing now, bright and devilish, like he could eat her up.

Summary
"Why are you not scared?"
"I am scared," Ilya admits. "I just am tired. Of hiding me. Of hiding you. Of hiding how much I love you. I want to go to the rink— how do you say it? Authenti."
"Authentically," Shane supplies, automatically.
"Yes. Authentically. I want to go to the rink authentically, as me," Ilya confirms.
Ilya looks at Shane, pauses until Shane meets his eyes. "I want to say: I, Ilya Rozanov love a man, and that man's name is Shane Hollander."

Summary
“Okay. That part I get. But fuck, man, why him?” Hayden barked.
“Dude,” Shane said, running a hand through his hair, “I’ve already told you—”
“No!” Hayden cut him off, voice cracking with a mix of frustration and disbelief. “No, no, no! You told us why you love Lily! You said he challenges you, he makes room for you, all that soft, romantic stuff—but there isn’t a shred of proof that that sweet, slightly awkward, totally manageable guy could possibly be Rozanov. Rozanov! The guy people usually want to beat the shit out of on the ice! And you love him?”
Shane pinched the bridge of his nose, exhaling slowly. “Yes. I love him."
Hayden froze mid-gesture, eyes wide, as if Shane had just announced he was going to join a cult. “Him? Really? Him?”
Amber's fussing turned both men to Jackie who was raising an eyebrow at her husband. "You are going to have to calm down, Hayden. If you hadn't been so busy fighting when Shane got hurt, maybe you would have noticed that Ilya tried to leave with him?"
"Ilya?! Since when the fuck do you call him Ilya?!"

Summary
"Listen, Mr. Rozanov." The general manager is talking out of the side of his mouth, his cigarette dropping ashes all over the hotel table. "We like you. We want you. We understand you are putting yourself under a fair amount of risk here, meeting with us like this. I hope it's obvious that if you play for us, we will set you up for a good life in Canada."
He pauses, looks Ilya in the eye. "But you have to understand, if you agree to this, you have to be prepared to leave with us right now."

Summary
“Rozanov needs a place to stay. His visa won’t allow him to go home to Russia over the break, and we don’t have the cash to put him in a hotel.”
Did the Harvard dorms completely shut down over the winter break? What about the dining hall? Shane supposed he didn’t really know. He’d never stuck around to find out, when he was younger.
“Okay?”
Coach raised his eyebrows. “So, he’s staying with you.”
Shane’s eyes went wide.
“What?”
“Come on, Captain,” Wiebe looked down his nose at Shane. “Try not to look too thrilled.”

or, Shane's a senior captain with an empty house over winter break. and Ilya's the freshman who will be crashing his Christmas.Series
