    Summary

    While in the cottage, Shane and Ilya recount when they each knew they were in love.
    ___

    The real moment happened when his iron chest alchemized to mercury under Ilya’s gaze, and Rozanov became his Ilya. Instead of two hot, muscular bodies they were these timeless souls staring deeply into each other. It was the moment Shane looked at Ilya and saw every past and future iteration of him all at once: the little boy with curly blond hair on a slanted and melting rink in Russia, the mischievous rookie who messed with the press, the middle aged hockey coach who accidentally taught their kids Russian curse words. 

    And that moment happened to be completely inconsequential. 

    Shane can’t help but laugh when it hits him.

    “What? Shane, tell meeee,” Ilya pleads, tired of waiting patiently for his answer. His head is on the pillow next to Shane’s and his eyes are scanning Shane’s face, trying to read the answer inside of his skull. Shane thinks maybe he could.

    Summary

    With the Montreal Metros suddenly in need of a new head coach, General Manager Shane Hollander turns to the one person who might know as much about winning as he does: his fellow Hall of Famer and ex decade-long situationship, Ilya Rozanov.

    But what starts as a simple job offer soon becomes a life-altering sea change neither could have ever imagined.

    Summary

    "He saw the corners of Ilya's lips curve up ever so slightly in that infuriating, tiny hint of a smile. “Goodbye, Shane Hollander.”

    Shane could only ogle as Ilya walked away. Fuck. His ass was fat. This was so bad.

    Shane Hollander, star athlete, D1 hockey team captain, campus heartthrob, was being completely undone by a brooding Slavic art major that he would probably crawl on his fucking knees and bark for."

    --

    Shane is ready for another boring semester where he has to pretend like he cares about anything other than hockey. Until he sits down next to a mysterious Russian art student who also happens to be the hottest guy Shane has ever seen.

    Summary

    He remembers their last hook up, a month or so before this. He thinks that’s where his brain had started to go on the fritz. When he’d just finished blowing Ilya in the shower and Ilya had hit him with ‘You need to get laid, Hollander. Waiting for a quick fuck every couple of months is not healthy.’ Shane had acted all indignant and puffy, but only because Ilya had hit a bit too close to home with that, and he’d been so cavalier about it too. Because yeah, maybe Shane had never made a conscious decision to do it, but he felt like he only existed in short hour long snippets when he could slip away and be with Ilya. And that fucking terrified him.

    Then because Ilya was Ilya, he had to one, two punch him by saying, ‘I have ruined you. No one else would do.’ And Shane had to lock that deep in the caverns of his mind because of how true those words rang. He didn’t want it to be true, but it was.

    “I think, maybe, this whole thing is starting to mean something different to me.”

    — Or Episode 4 remix/Chapter 13 rewrite. Shane doesn’t leave after the tuna melts in Boston.

    Part 2 added.
