    Summary

    "Is it normal for brothers to fight each other physically?" Shane asked tentatively.
    "Yeah. It happens."
    "What about breaking bones?"
    "I mean, accidentally." Wyatt scratched the back of his neck. "When my brother and I were kids, he shoved me off a swing once and I broke my finger."
    Shane stared out the window at Ilya and took a slow breath. His hands tightened against his thighs hard enough that it looked painful.
    "What if like hypothetically one brother burns the other brother with a cigarette?"
    ----
    Alexei is coming to town, and Wyatt Hayes wasn't about to let his teamates deal with it alone.

    Summary

    Ilya refuses to cancel dinner with Shane's parents, terrified that showing weakness will make them think he is lazy, broken, or a disappointment. But when a severe depressive episode causes his hands to shake, he accidentally drops a crystal water glass.

    The sound of the shattering glass triggers a violent childhood trauma, sending Ilya into a full-blown, terrifying panic attack on the dining room floor as he frantically tries to clean up the mess before he gets hit.

    Summary

    When he releases his grip on Shane’s chin, drags his knuckles along Shane’s jaw, Shane follows the touch, chasing Ilya’s fingers with his mouth.

    Fuck. He is so fucking transparent. So clearly fucking vulnerable. A careless move could break him, and Ilya is not the sort of person who can be trusted with fragile things. People don’t trust him with much at all.

    [Or: five times Shane doesn't use a safeword, and one time Ilya does.]

    Summary

    A romantic getaway was not supposed to end with their private charter plane down in the Canadian wilderness.

    It was not supposed to become blood in the snow, smoke in the trees, broken metal and a freezing wind.

    In the frozen silence of the trees, Shane and Ilya must discover exactly how much they can carry for each other.

    OR
    Two men survive the plane crash.

    Then they have to survive the wilderness, the cold, and the fact that loving someone does not make their body any less breakable.
