    Summary

    After suffering a career-ending injury four years ago, Shane Hollander feels isolated in Ottawa and misses hockey. Perhaps a chance to become part of Centaurs coaching team is a way to get back into the world he once loved.

    One problem though, Shane doesn’t remember anything from his decorated hockey career. Not even his stupidly handsome former rival who is now Captain of the team he will be working for.

    A companion piece for Ilya’s POV of “Come on, come on, I can take it.”

    Summary

    “Your brother, Alexei, he is dead”, a woman’s voice rang through the phone. It sounded stern, not particularly affected by what it was saying. Shane didn’t know if the ‘russians are too strong for emotions’ or the lack of actual emotions was to blame. Either way, he shifted his free hand to hold Ilya’s free one.

    “It’s Paulina, my step mother", Ilya whispered. His voice trembled. “How did he die?”

    “Drug overdose. It’s been bad for a while, I guess it had to take him away eventually.” Some of the Centaurs were trying to ask what was happening, but Shane waved them away with a flick of a hand before he continued to slowly caress Ilya's back again. He hoped it would feel somewhat comforting.

    ‘Thank you for telling me, but it’s not on me to give him a funeral, I don’t have anything to do with him anymore.’ Ilya had spitted out. Anger started to show through his stoic expression.

    “Well, yes we know. But that’s not all. His wife, what was her name again?”

    “Alina”

    “Yes, her! She left. She left the children here at my home and never came back. It's been a week.”

    Summary

    After a viral photo outs Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov while they're still busy pretending their years-long situationship is mostly just sex, the fallout gets complicated fast. The world reacts badly. Their teams react worse. Ilya's future in North America starts to look alarmingly fragile, and Shane, who has never met a disaster he didn't try to control into submission, throws himself into fixing what can still be fixed.

    Ilya has spent his whole life being wanted for the wrong reasons and discarded for the right ones. Shane has spent his whole life believing that if he is careful enough, good enough, controlled enough, he can keep disaster from reaching the people he loves.

    A practical solution emerges, then a house, then rings.

    Somehow, by the time they say their vows, both of them are certain they are the only one who means them.

    Summary

    Shane never thought it would come to this.

    What once was a warm, fuzzy feeling of love in his chest, now was a mellowed, sharp frost encompassing his heart. He didn’t mean for it to go this far, to get this bad, but some things are destined to happen and some things are inescapable.

    His leg was shaking, a rhythmic thump thump thump where his feet met the hard wood floor. His hands lay clammy, buzzing against the sheet of paper on top of the cluttered oak desk.

    He really needs to clean this mess of tissues, pictures and stationary. He needs to bin the tissues and pack away the pictures and stationary into boxes where they will join the lines of cardboard in the moving van outside. But right now, all Shane can do is stare at the words “DIVORCE AGREEMENT” written in a harsh, bold, bland font. He never thought he would have such a document in his hands.

     

    Or,
    after months of quietly falling apart, Shane and Ilya have separated and are heading for divorce, trying to keep it hidden from their teammates at Wyatt’s wedding, the looming legal deadlines force them to confront their mistakes and issues. Is it too late, or can they find their way back to each other?

    Summary

    Shane Hollander never got that concussion, and Ilya Rozanov breaks up with him. Shortly after, Shane suffers a career ending injury. They don’t speak again.

    Of course, stories don’t end like that. At least not theirs. When Shane adopts a little girl with familiar curls and deep blue eyes, Shane writes letters to Ilya, imagining he was with him, raising the girl together.

    Movers get things mixed up. Letters get sent. And after 4 years of no contact, Ilya moves to Ottawa to see Shane again. The only question is—will Shane let him in? Or is he still just as scared as he was in 2017?
