Summary
He’s not alone—hardly ever is, in Boston.
But maybe, just maybe, he’s lonely.
It sneaks up on him in stupid moments: standing in line at the bank, catching a ride with Connors after practice, because he doesn’t have a car yet. Lying awake at night with the low hum of traffic outside and the wrong kind of silence pressing in around him.
In his rookie year, Ilya makes an anonymous online friend. Unfortunately, it's a terrible idea.

Summary
Ilya has been at the school for a year, he didn't speak to anyone, but knew being at the Hockey school was better than the alternative - being in Russia, or being dead. Everything is fine until Scott Hunter asks him to show the new student around. Shane Hollander is quiet, but beautiful and Ilya doesn't know how he's going to survive being so close to him. Especially when they're both just as broken as each other.
Was Scott Hunter right all along? Would Ilya and Shane end up fixing each other?
[Descriptions of bullying, homophobic assault, mentions of suicidal thoughts and eating disorder]

Summary
It’s a dick move and right now Ilya is glad he has a reputation as a dick, so no one asks too many questions. You’re supposed to pick someone that fucked up a bit, someone the team is already kind of mad at. Picking a team’s captain, especially when he hasn’t done anything wrong—you don’t do that.
Or: Ilya notices that Hollander is off his game, and decides that a visit to the winner's room just might fix that.

Summary
Maybe if the video ended there, Shane thought, it would be okay. Okayish. Still incriminating. Still a fucking disaster. Still embarrassing, to have his breakup with this beautiful actress filmed and disseminated on Reddit of all fucking places, but not a nail in his coffin, burying him alive. But the video didn’t end there.
“Can I ask if you’ve ever been with another guy?” she had to ask.
And he, tears visible in his eyes, had to nod.
Just once. Just a single nod.
Why did he have to nod?
“Have you ever told anyone that before?” He shook his head. “Was it different? With a guy?”
“Of course.”
Of course.
“Was it better?”
“Yes.”
+++
Shane’s conversation with Rose is secretly recorded. Months later, after the All-Star game and Ilya’s confession in Russian, the video gets leaked online. Shane is outed to the world while Ilya is in Russia, and must now finish the 2016-2017 season with the entire world in on his secret.
