    Summary

    Four years ago, Shane Hollander suffered a career-ending injury after getting hit by Marlow on the ice. Despite Ilya’s best efforts to reach out, he never hears from Shane again. Nor does anyone as Shane Hollander disappears from the public eye. Complete radio silence.

    That is, until Ilya receives a call from his agent, asking if he is willing to ‘say a couple of nice words on camera about Shane Hollander’. Why? Oh. Because he will be induced in the MHL Hall of Fame in three weeks. And said Canadian golden boy will likely be there.

    Ilya is totally okay about this, of course.

    Summary

    Shane knows it’s not a good time to have this conversation. He should wait until they’re not both tired from a stretch of tough games, until he’s not exhausted from having all the Centaurs over for the day. He should wait until he can’t feel anger simmering inside him and his shoulders aren’t tense. That’s probably why he doesn’t wait.

    “Stop trying to make me be friends with Troy Barrett.”

    Summary

    The Ottawa Centaurs are a new established team re-joining in the league.

    Two of the leagues biggest players just signed with Ottawa.

    OR

    What if Shane never introduced himself to Ilya in 2008, they play respectfully against each other, not indulging the rivalry along the way before they both get traded to Ottawa, where connections start.

    Summary

    Shane has loved Ilya for most of his life.

    He never planned to tell him.

    Then Ilya announces he’s getting married to Svetlana.

    Shane congratulates him, helps plan the wedding, stands beside him through engagement dinners and venue tours and bachelor parties, and tries very hard not to let years of being in love with his best friend ruin everyone’s lives.

    It works.

    Until it doesn’t.

    Summary

    Summary:
    “I’ll wait for you.”

    “Wait? Wait for what? What was Shane saying? This week-long funeral of a stillborn relationship, their love, was the most Ilya could wish for in this life. This wait.

    “I’ll wait for you. I looked it up. I’m sorry, I know it’s a bit morbid,” Shane said.

    “What?”

    “Your father’s health, what you said about the symptoms and the medication. I don’t think he has many years left, Ilya. I’m sorry.”

    “You’ll wait?”

    “Yes, until you come back, in two or three years. I’ll wait for you.”

    or

    In 2014, just one week after winning his first Stanley Cup, Ilya is forced to leave everything behind when his brother abandons Moscow, leaving him to return to Russia and care for their dying father. Before he goes, he and Shane make a desperate promise: to wait for each other. Across continents, their relationship survives in fragments, phone calls, and summer reunions. If their secret is ever exposed, the consequences could destroy everything around them. And as the years pass, the distance isn’t the only thing growing.
