    In The Cold Light of Day by

    Summary

    Maybe Ilya was right. He really is too afraid.

    Shane feels a tear streak down his face, and he lifts his numb fingers, pressing his cold fingers to his equally cold cheek, and then smiles to himself. He can’t stop the laugh from leaving his mouth, even though it makes his lungs hurt, even though it makes his chest feel like it’s about to cave in.

    His entire life has been spent on the ice. His entire life has been cold, and so maybe it’s fitting that he dies in the cold, too. To let his body be reclaimed by the elements, and then the world is left wondering just where Shane Hollander disappeared to.

    At least the sun is somewhat warm as it basks on his face, and Shane manages one little smile, thinking about the sunlight that would stream into the cottage, and illuminate his boyfriend’s face.

    It’s the last thing he thinks about before he succumbs to unconsciousness.

    Or: The Boxing Day fight goes horribly wrong, leaving Shane and Ilya to reevaluate their lives, relationship, and careers. A story of loss, bargaining, and reconciliation.

    That Old Black Hole by

    Summary

    Galina makes it a point to remind Ilya that people aren’t mind readers, and unfortunately, if there’s something wrong, he has to actually communicate this. He's aware of this. He is. Even though it's always been so much easier said than done, even on a good day.

    But when the unthinkable happens, Shane ends up seriously injured, and Ilya can't bring himself to reckon with his role in it all, or how they'll move forward.

    Now it's all the more impossible to communicate the weight of his guilt, the feelings of inadequacy, and the all-consuming fear that Shane might not survive.

    Alternatively, life as everyone knows it falls apart when Shane takes a bullet that was meant for Ilya.

    Summary

    The first bruise doesn’t mean anything. Neither does the second, really.

    Shane is a hockey player. He’s tired because the season’s just ended, he’s aching because he’s spent the better half of it getting slammed into boards and putting up with Ilya’s suicide drills, and his fever is probably just a summer cold he’s picked up from one of teammates kids along the way.

    At least, that’s what they tell themselves.

    or: Ilya starts to think that there might actually be something wrong with his husband.

    A New Way to Feel by

    Summary

    Shane is left with a spinal cord injury after a catastrophic team event, and now he is left to rebuild a life that he didn’t sign up for.

    Told through Shane’s therapy sessions and the memories he refused to face, the story follows grief, survivor’s guilt, rehab, and the slow realization that finding a way forward into his new reality may also mean finding a way back to Ilya—even when neither of them knows what that path is supposed to look like anymore.

    This story is heavy, but it is also packed with tenderness, hope, and so much love. Enjoy!

    Summary

    The Boston Raiders are making decent time heading up into Michigan when one of the horses almost breaks an ankle on what’s left of the road.

    A highly lethal—and highly contagious—virus has swept across the planet, taking down the power grid, toppling society, and leaving behind only a tiny fraction of the population. For a while, it seems like everything is over. This is not the case.

    Or: The world ends. Shane Hollander starts playing for Boston. Yes, in that order.
