   Summary

   Shane gets hit at the last Raiders VS Metros game for the playoffs. He doesn't die, but, to him, it's suddenly rookie season. He hates Ilya, but can't seem to stop looking at him. 3 videos of Scott Hunter help refresh his memory, but 50 videos of Ilya Rozanov doesn't satiate the hole he feels.

   And Ilya? He already confessed he’s in love with Shane, he can't take those words back. It affects his hockey career, his sex life, and his judgment. He looks for Shane everywhere… and Shane unknowingly may be too.

   *****

   A slow burn angst where Shane unknowingly chases Ilya as Ilya tries to compensate for his uncontrollable sense of loss, indulging in others;. It's not hard for him to find a one night stand, after all.
