    Summary

    Shane Hollander is going to murder his agent.

    And he means that literally. Because his agent is the reason he’s currently wearing a hot mic during Hockey Night in Canada. Against the Ottawa Centaurs. Against Ilya.

    Ilya, who has no filter. Ilya, who thinks workplace professionalism is a hilarious suggestion for other people. Ilya, who has spent a decade perfecting the art of saying absolutely unhinged things to Shane on the ice, safe in the knowledge that nobody can hear him.

    Ilya, who definitely doesn’t know about the microphone.

    What follows is sixty minutes of Shane’s life flashing before his eyes while his secret boyfriend enthusiastically discusses their sex life, their broken furniture, and exactly what he wants to do to Shane after the game — all broadcast to millions of viewers.

    The problem? Shane can’t get a word in edgewise to warn him.

    Summary

    It's Ilya and Shane's first Christmas together as an actual couple, and Ilya is a bit nervous to spend it with Shane's family. Of course, when he wakes up sick a few days before the holiday, that won't do. He can't ruin Christmas.

    Or, Ilya learns what it means to be cared for.

    Summary

    “Do you think if you were out, years ago, when we met, this,” he points back and forth between them. “You and I would have– I don’t know. Ended before, I guess. And then you would have tried to find a nice man in Montreal?”

    *

    David's question has been lingering in the back of Ilya's mind. He asks, Shane answers.

    Summary

    “Once upon a time,” Ilya couldn’t believe he was actually doing this, “an old man and his wife had no bread. They scraped the last flour from the corners of their house and made a round bun. And they called him Kolobok.”

    “Kolo—”

    “Ko-lo-bok,” Ilya repeated.

    “It sounds cute,” Shane said. “Can I call you that?”

    “Only after I retire and gain weight,” Ilya said.

    Summary

    Shane has never been religious. But he found himself praying, to something, to anything, to the wind that can anchor every wish he had for Ilya—to keep him safe, to keep him healthy, to make him happy again. 

    He thinks of Ilya’s cross on his necklace, and thinks of his Mom. 

    Is he going to meet her now? Will he get the chance to tell her how wonderful her son grew up to be? Will he be able to tell her that he tried to love him for the both of them the best way he knew how? 

    Or: what if it's Shane's plane that almost crashed?
