Summary
Shane Hollander might be a hockey prodigy, but he's also gay—and he's always known what that means for his future in the sport. That’s why, instead of going pro straight out of junior hockey, Shane chooses college. He tells himself it’s for the education. For the experience. For time. Time for the NHL to catch up to the progress it keeps promising.
It’s also because of Ellis. The boy from his hometown in Ottawa, who knows Shane better than anyone else ever has.
But at the beginning of his third year in University, everything changes. All because of Ilya Rozanov. The Russian hockey prodigy Shane has always been aware of. Never threatened by—because Ilya has always been Moscow. Until he arrives at Shane’s university. On his campus. On his team. In his life.
Disrupting everything Shane was once so sure of.
Or: an AU where Shane isn’t in the closet. Where he meets Ilya in college. Where he’s already in love with someone else. And where wanting becomes something he keeps pushing down—and praying no one notices. But some things are inevitable.
