    Summary

    "Ilya grumbles again but sits up enough for Shane to hand him his plate. There’s a blt sandwich (a favorite of his) along with what must be apple slices cut up in a curious shape.

     

    “What are these?” Ilya asks, points at the apple slices. Shane goes even pinker, the blush now spreading up to his ears and down to his neck.

     

    “Rabbit shaped apple slices,” Shane murmurs, looking down at said apple slices with a little smile on his face “mom used to cut them like this for me when i was grumpy as a child, i thought i might cheer you up.”

     

    Ilya immediately feels the burn on his nose again, except this time he doesn’t fight it. He gently puts the plate down on his side table and then he covers his face with his hands and sobs loudly, wetly, shoulders shaking with the strength of his crying."

    ---

    Once again, love is stored in the fruit.

    Summary

    One clip from the sentencing made the rounds—the world and Ilya watching with sick fascination as Hollander, seemingly shocked by the verdict, jerked toward the spectators before the guards came to lead him away, his eyes wide and full of terror. “Mom!” he cried, just like a little boy. Mom herself stood weeping with one hand over her mouth.

    So much for the Rozanov/Hollander rivalry.

    In December, 2008, Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander met during the International Prospect Cup and jointly sized up the competition. Their rising stars were destined to follow a parallel course. But only days before the NHL draft, Hollander inexplicably committed a series of shocking murders and was sentenced to life in prison without parole.
    Now, fifteen years later, Ilya has been arrested in connection with an international drug trafficking conspiracy, and will be granted immunity in exchange for information. There’s only one catch – authorities have discovered new evidence in connection with Hollander’s crimes, and the FBI want Ilya to visit the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane to see if a previously uncooperative Hollander will speak to the man who was once destined to become his rival…

    Summary

    Rozanov posts on Instagram a lot. Not on his feed, but his stories.

    Every time he lands in a city, he posts a story. Usually it's just back of his seat, or sometimes the view out the window—on the tarmac, never anything exciting, one of just many cities their lives are broken up into—and a location tag. Low effort.

    It’s pretty obvious what it is. Guys laugh about it, call it Rozanov’s Fuck Signal. The easiest way to get the hot girls who follow him to slide into his DMs.

    Easy pussy.

    Summary

    They lapse back into a comfortable silence. Shane looks at Ilya as he is and thinks about Ilya as he was at seventeen, smoking in the back of a Saskatchewan parking lot. The image is almost unbearably tender for Shane, where his own seventeen year old thrill at seeing Ilya Rozanov meets all the things Shane knows about that lonely boy now.

    Shane thinks: Do you love number 81 more than you love this man?

    "Hey," Ilya says, brushing his knuckles over Shane's cheek. "Whatever I do, I will be there when you come home."

    Ilya decides to retire. Shane is very normal about it.

    Summary

    “You are early—”

    Ilya stops dead in his tracks. Shane is standing there in the hall, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.

    He’s wearing Ilya’s Centaurs jersey. Not much else.

    “Solnyshko,” Ilya says hoarsely. “What are you doing?”

    Shane pushes off the wall and comes to greet Ilya with a long, filthy kiss, wrapping his arms around Ilya’s neck. Ilya’s hands seek his waist in return.

    Shane’s voice is low against Ilya’s mouth. “Reminding you,” he murmurs, “of who the fuck you are.”

    It was a tough loss in Boston. Shane knows how to make Ilya feel better.
