    Summary

    Did you figure anything out? Shane writes, and flips the page around for Ilya to read it.

    Wont like the answer, Ilya’s written, in his quick hand.

    So he doesn’t have to take the pen back, Shane just shrugs. What?

    Ilya sits down at the desk for a steady surface to explain.

    3 things
    1 its curse. if true we can break it
    2 its spell. if true we can break it
    3 we are soulmates. if true we are fucked

    “No,” Shane mutters, before he can stop himself. Immediately, he slams a hand over his mouth.

    or: Ilya and Shane are soulmates, and their bond prevents them from both talking and being apart. Unfortunately, the only thing that’ll make the pain stop is confessing the one thing they can say: that they’re in love.

    “I love you,” Shane says, his voice rough. Then, “Does it feel . . . does it still feel like agony?”

    Slowly, Ilya shakes his head. There’s an unsteady smile still on his face, pressed against Shane’s hand. “Not anymore,” he whispers.

    Summary

    Shane was still angry. Rozanov’s plan had been to, what? Seduce him so they’d bond? He hadn’t even though to ask Shane first! Shane should get up and walk away and let his dad take him back to Russia and lock him away. Then Shane wouldn’t have to bond with him. Shane didn’t want to bond.

    But Shane had told Rozanov they’d be a team, just the two of them, and Rozanov seemed so scared and vulnerable. But Shane had started thinking about what they could do, the two of them on the ice, bonded. He’d had wingers he’d connected to before, who seemed to be able to read his mind. How much more incredible would this be, someone who’d always know where he was, what his intentions were?

    “No one can know,” Shane said.

    But he couldn’t help thinking of it, that someone knew him as completely as it was possible for someone to know him; knew his thoughts and his memories and his fears and loved him. Completely, unconditionally, from the moment he felt Shane’s breath as if it was his own. As Shane loved Ilya, suddenly, instantly, totally.

    Neither of them would ever have to be alone again.

    Summary

    Following the internet success of Shane and Ilya's presentation at the NHL Awards, ESPN decided to contract with them to do a whole series. It goes far better than anyone could have dreamed.

    -or-

    “When you think about it,” Jackie said, when Shane had dinner with her and Hayden a few days later, “hockey’s basically already reality tv.”

    “Hello,” Rozanov said, beaming at the camera. “Welcome to Captain vs. Captain. I am Ilya Rozanov, Captain of the Boston Bears, winner of Stanley Cup, and this is Shane Hollander, who did not win Cup.”

    “I won silver medal in the Olympics, though,” Shane pointed out. “I don’t think your team placed, did it?”

    “Oh, the Olympics,” Rozanov said breezily, as if the Olympics meant nothing.

    “I won the Art Ross last year, too,” Shane reminded him.

    “Yes, yes, very good job,” Rozanov said. “But not the Cup.”
