    Summary

    Hayden gets up to move and pats Shane's shoulder on his way out. “Remember the party we're having at our place on Friday, okay?”

    Shane calls out an “okay” just as the front door slams shut behind him.

    He sets his bag down in his room before going to grab a can of coke—Hayden buys them and then ends up drinking Shane's stuff anyway—and walks into the room now occupied by a stranger.

    “Hey,” he calls out to the half hidden figure inside the closet as he sets down the coke on the new desk next to the door. “I don't know if you like coke but I brought you one. I'm Shane by the way.”

    The face that peeks out from behind the closet door makes Shane's eyes widen.

    Holy shit.

    Summary

    Anyway, Shane didn't remember exactly what was in the folder ... But he knew they were all good shots of him.

    He hastily clicked open the folder, his eyes barely glancing through the dozen or so shots there, vaguely registering a picture with a sunset background from his condo balcony, something of him laughing, a picture of him working at his laptop with his glasses on...

    The director called him again, and he shook his head, the photos blurring. Whatever. It would have to do.

    He clicked "select all," then the messages icon, then Rozanov's name. Hit send.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Feels like reading a book next to the window while the sun sets, you reclining back to your pillow, bathed by the remnants of sunlight.
    Or late into the night, when all the sounds became quiet and everybody is asleep and it's just you and your book and crickets shouting seldomly.
    or in short phrase, cozy slow burn

    Summary

    A year after the events of The Long Game, Ilya wakes up alone in his apartment in Boston. It turns out he's in an alternate universe where Scott Hunter stopped playing hockey before his and Shane's careers even got started. The Ilya from that universe wakes up next to Shane, a man he hasn't talked to in five years.
    The series includes the story of what happens when the Ilya's switch places, a prequel story about the other Shane and Ilya when they were apart for those years, a story about what happens with the other Shane and Ilya after the Ilyas switch back to their own lives, and a story where the Shanes switch places a year later.
    And now! A story about why you might have been worried about Kip.
