    Summary

    "Hi, solnyshko.”
    The Russian pet name set a firework off inside Shane's mind as he heard it cooed from behind him. The intonation was just as he remembered, but the voice was much deeper.

    He turned and felt himself short circuit. It took every ounce of willpower to not let his jaw drop cartoonishly to the floor. Shane would recognize his individual features anywhere, even after 5 years. But it was as if someone had snapped their fingers and the smug, silly Russian boy who had been attached to Shane's hip for 3 summers was transformed into some sort of fucking Adonis right before his eyes.

    “Ilya-” was all Shane managed before strong arms were wrapped around his waist and lifting him off the ground in a greeting all too familiar from years ago.

     

    OR
    When Shane Hollander & Ilya Rozanov spent their summers as teens in an elite hockey camp, they quickly became inseparable friends. But they lose touch when Shane moves on as a prospect for the NHL and Ilya for the KHL.

    Years later, Montreal makes a bold move to take the hottest player in the KHL. After hearing of the Russian's reputation, the Montreal Captain is tasked with keeping his old best friend and new teammate out of trouble.

    Summary

    Ilya wants to crawl inside Shane’s chest.

    Not to hurt him—never that—but to exist in the only place that has ever felt like home. He’s tired of the distance that hotel rooms, trade rumors, and skin create between them. He wants to be closer than physics allows.

    Or: Ilya has a crisis about the "cruel design flaw" of being two separate people.

    Summary

    Ilya has always known Shane could do better than him. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that he’s finally found it.

    Found someone else.

    Because that’s what this is, isn’t it?

    Summary

    'You're beautiful.'

    She'd never heard that phrase before. Well, no - she'd heard it countless times, if the truth be known. She'd heard it, and general doting words to the same effect, whispered in hushed, pitying adoration towards Nessa by seemingly everyone who had ever crossed her path even momentarily.

    But no. While those words had flitted around her head like butterflies from the moment of Nessa's birth, they had never landed on her, never even perched. Peculiar, yes. Strange, yes. A spectracle - a term her father in particular favoured - yes. Beautiful? Never.
