   Summary

   After being unceremoniously outed as bisexual and traded to the Ottawa Centaurs, Ilya Rozanov cements his legacy as a hockey legend and queer icon and is invited to be The Bachelor's newest leading man on the show's very first mixed-gender season. Enter Shane Hollander, the Golden Boy Who Never Was after an injury knocked him out of contention for the NHL draft.

   Is this their second chance at a love story for the ages, or the universe reuniting them after destiny was simply put on hold?
