    Summary

    Shane gasped and stumbled backwards. “Three weeks? You decided-” his hands flew to his mouth. “How could you do this without talking to me? This is what? To punish me because I won’t come out on your timeline?”

    Ilya felt a stab of anger. “You won’t come out on any timeline!”

    Shane blinked at him. “I literally drove here tonight because I wanted to know if you would accept six to twelve months!” 

    “A timeline,” he barked. “This is our lives, Shane. I want to be with you fully now. I know you are scared, but you need to be brave, and I am so deeply fucking unhappy being your dirty little secret.”

    “That’s not fair Ilya, it’s going to be complicated for me. I’m already the only Asian captain in the league! The media, sponsors, the Voyageurs? It’s going to need to be carefully managed-”

    Or: After the Boxing Day fight, Ilya loses faith in the idea that Shane will come out quickly and decides to make a wild move and agrees on a trade to Vancouver. Can these two idiots in love find their way back to each other?

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Ilyas made a big mistake - not telling Shane about a trade. Moving 4000 miles away. Shane was going to propose then he found out Ilya asked for the trade. Shane basically tells him to get stuffed (rightly so)

    This did have a Lucas/Ilya tag ...but it's been removed! Huzzah! One to check tags before reading if it gets re tagged.

    Summary

    The coffee used to get cold. Before, when he would find every reason to linger around the kitchen counter, trading lazy kisses tasting of burnt coffee and mint toothpaste, stealing bites of breakfast sandwiches that didn’t fit with his diet during hockey season. He couldn’t help himself then. He lacked discipline and focus. But that was another lifetime. That was before. Shane was different now. He had to be.

    **********

    Four years after the cottage, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov quietly ended their relationship.

    Two years after their split, the shape of their lives is drastically different. Ilya is in New York married to Svetlana. Shane stayed behind in Montreal and is single. They keep their distance, only spending time in the summer when required as co-founders of The Irina Foundation.

    In 2023, Shane meets someone else. Someone perfect on paper, who offers to give Shane everything he’s ever wanted. Well, almost everything he’s ever wanted.

    Shane will face the ultimate decision. And he’ll have to ask himself one question: Is this enough?

    You
    I really was looking forward to seeing you after the game
    I’m as sad at missing that
    As I am sad at missing the playoffs.

    Lily
    so am I
    fuck Marlow

    You
    Aww, he’s not your favorite anymore?

    Lily
    LEAST favorite now 😤

    You
    I mean at least he feels bad. I believe him when he says he didn’t mean to hurt me.

    Lily
    so do I
    I just don’t care
    he still DID hurt you
    he should watch where he’s going

    You

    So you’re not going to get custom Bears lingerie with a 7 on it, then?

    Lily
    no
    I’ll get one for every other number on the team though 😘

    You
    That’s an awful lot of money to spend on kindling.

    Leaked texts from Shane Hollander’s phone out him…as dating a Cliff Marleau fangirl.

    No one is really sure what to do about this — least of all, Cliff Marleau.

    Summary

    At 35, Ilya's life could not be going worse frankly. His best friend is asking for a divorce, he has a boring job and his boring co worker pities him enough to invite him to spend a few weeks with him and his family on their annual vacation to their summer cottage. And he's so pathetically lonely he accepts.

    At 22, Shane has his whole life ahead of him. He's the captain of his university's hockey team, he's suspected to be the first draft pick in the MLH and he's able to maintain a 4.0 GPA on top of all that. His lack of a social life doesn't really bother him, he'll have time to date once he's achieved his life long dream. He's sure a girl will come along eventually.

    OR Ilya is Shane's dad's hot co worker who ends up at the cottage one summer.
