    Summary

    ‘What did they say when you told them I was joining the team?’
    A slow grin spreads across Ilya’s face.
    ‘What did you do?’ Shane asks, dread seeping into his expression.
    ‘Nothing.’ Ilya tells him innocently.
    ‘…. You told them. Right?’
    ‘I did not.’
    ‘Ilya!’ Shane gasps. ‘I start training tomorrow!’

    Summary

    Ilya's hands are on Shane’s back, keeping him checked against the glass. He doesn’t even know if the puck is still under them.

    Please look at me in the eyes. Have I fucked up?

    A whistle, fuck, the puck is definitely not under them anymore and now it only looks like Ilya’s fighting Shane. But Shane is letting him.

    Am I losing you for good?

    or...

    what if Ilya told Svetlana about Shane that time in Boston? And Shane found out.

    Summary

    He got up from the floor, dizzy and uncoordinated. He managed to find his way to the bathroom and to the medicine cabinet, grabbed the pill bottle and stared at it. He didn’t grab one like he usually did, instead he held the whole bottle in his shaking hand as he walked into the living room. This time he sat on the couch, he looked around as if he was waiting for someone to stop him. He was alone, he knew it. He stared at his phone. Maybe he should try calling Shane again. He didn’t.

     
    or

    What if the detail that made Shane stop doubting their relationship wasn’t the almost plane crash. What if instead Ilya’s depression flared way earlier, when all he wanted was someone he couldn’t have, and what if he tried to do something he would’ve never forgiven himself for.

    Summary

    “She truly is your daughter, Alex,” Henry sighs, defeated.

    “Fuck off, sweetheart,” he laughs, a soundbite of the sun. Henry forces himself not to physically react, the term of endearment sweet and menacingly familiar coming from Alex’s lips. It’s been years. “You know they’re useful.”

    “Ah yes, eyelashes, truly a formidable instrument in managing international relations.”

    Alex grins, and Henry is too late to catch the slightest downward lilt on the corner of his mouth, “Worked on you once, didn’t it?”

    Oh, did that ache.

     

    (Much had happened since the time Henry had told Alex to leave. Alex had passed the bar, gotten married, had the most beautiful daughter. And Henry, well. He stayed right where he was.)

    Summary

    Shane Hollander can handle twenty thousand screaming fans, high-stakes games, and the kind of pressure that never really lets up.

    He cannot, however, handle preschool drop-off.

    Fortunately, Teacher Ilya can.

    (It involves a stuffed bunny, a city with no mayor, and maybe something more.)
