    Summary

    All told he got into a couple scraps a year, but nothing to write home about – he didn’t instigate, he didn’t go too far. He kept his head level and focused on what it needed to be focused on: winning the game. Sure, one time he almost punched Scott Hunter’s lights out after a game, but whatever – he was emotionally compromised then, sue him. Mostly everyone assumed that was a weird blip and let it go, and he and Scott maintained enough professional friendliness at league events that everyone figured it wasn’t personal, which it wasn’t.

    All of that to say that the more and more the media went on about Hockey’s Golden Boy, the more people forgot that Shane was, at the end of the day, just like any other professional hockey player. He knew how to throw a fucking punch. He just chose not to, most times, for strategic reasons.

    It became apparent that people had forgotten this very key fact almost immediately after he joined the Centaurs.

    Summary

    “We are just glad he didn't trip, yes?”

    That's the last thing Shane heard before his head went underwater. He didn't realise how he got dressed, when he had snuck out, how he got to the car or when he'd gone home.

    He was distantly aware of Ilya blowing up his phone halfway through the drive. Shane had let it ring.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander loves his future husband. Sure, his future husband is oblivious sometimes, but he means well, and he always listens.

    Ilya Rozanov thinks his future husband doesn’t understand the dark side of hockey. He’s about to learn differently.

    The result: two decisions nobody who even slightly follows the NHL expected their two former rival stars to make.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is a man who thrives on structure, routine, the solid ground of a ten-year plan. Ilya likes that about him, likes the embracing squeeze of having a life organized in tandem with Shane.

    No one would call Ilya a man who thrives on structure. But it’s there, if not in his DNA then in the patterns of his brain. A call-and-response of: they do this, I do that.

    When Ilya’s life is flayed open for the world to dissect, how will they push-and-pull their way back towards what was once a well-organized life?


    “I thought we could go through the schedules and figure out what days we’ll be in the same cities this season, or when either of us have a couple of days off in a row. Maybe make a shared calendar, so we c—”

    “A sex calendar? Your parents are arriving in thirty minutes, and you are proposing making a sex calendar?” Oh, this was delicious. He’d be able to eat out on this for years, if Shane was willing to give him that long.

    “It’s not a sex calendar! It’s just … when we might be able to see each other,” he finished, already sounding defeated.

    “And what are you planning on doing when we are seeing each other? Not fucking?”
