It's 1985, and a mysterious disease is taking the lives of thousands of young queer men across North America. It seems like nobody has an explanation - or, at least, nobody wants to mention the explanation they're finding.
It's 1985, and Ilya Rozanov has suddenly dropped out of the playoffs due to an "undisclosed injury". Shane Hollander goes to find the real reason and becomes intimately familiar with the unexplainable.

Summary
It's Ilya who finds her.
That's the truth. That's also an oversimplification built on a technicality.
Ilya's twelve and everything's normal until it isn't.Or: a time travel AU loosely inspired by The Time Traveler's Wife, in which Irina's suicide more than haunts the narrative, and Ilya meets himself several times.
Also a 5+1 fic of sorts, if you squint at it the right way. -

Summary
And now, as Shane flew down the ice, carrying the puck back and forth with his stick, he found himself enjoying his own breathlessness. He felt his stomach jolt and his hands grow clammy with the excitement of the breakaway. The rink seemed to fade away as he got closer and closer to Toronto’s goalie. He did not see the crowd start to stand, sensing the impending goal. He did not see Montreal’s bench lean further over the boards, praying for the win that would clinch their spot in the cup finals and already imagining the glory of securing another title.
He did not see Todd Masterson.

Summary
He is sixteen and hearing about the new young Russian upstart.
They are eighteen and meeting in the summer, the year before the draft, the one that changes their trajectory.
He likes to think of those events as hinge points, moments where he turns a corner. In that way, his whole life becomes a box of many sides, and with it he can almost keep track of where he’s heading.
For his whole life, Shane has struggled to stay in one time and place. His moments fall like rain around him as he lives in the past, the present, and the future, all at once and then back again.
