    Summary

    “But how did you know you liked guys? Like did you think about fucking them or were you just wondering and decided to try it out?”

    “Why do you ask me this?” 

    His brick wall shaped - and minded - friend shrugs, turning his head to look out the window to his right while he speaks noncommittally. 

    “Just, eh, whatever. It’s nothing.”

    “You are thinking overall? Or you have a crush do you think?”

    “Not a crush, fuck I don’t - I don’t know. Forget it.”

    “You make me tell you about my feelings, you can do too. Go.”

    Cliff sighs and dares not to meet Ilya’s eyes. 

    “The other day, when you and Hollander were talking shit to each other. I don’t know. It was sweet. I’ve never seen Hollander act like that with anyone.”

    Ilya waits for him to continue, cogs turning and creaking in his brain as more silence passes by them. He snaps his head towards Cliff, who looks away. It’s almost endearing to see his boisterous friend shy like this - it would be, if it weren’t over his Shane. 

    “You…you want to fuck Hollander?”

    Summary

    Being a Hollander means having a singular focus, a deep well of loyalty, and a brain that rarely knows how to shut off. This series dives into the private thoughts of a family navigating the shift from secrets to truth, from "perfect on paper" to the beautiful mess of reality.

    It’s about the things unsaid and the fierce protection of a joy that no one—not even the world at large—gets to take away.

    Summary

    Shrugging one shoulder far more casually than he possibly feels, Ilya says, “I like both. Is secret, okay?”

    “Okay,” Hollander says, voice cracking.

    He doesn’t say anything else. The air’s so heavy around them that it feels like being in the middle of a scrum, the weight and heat of all those bodies pressing down on you. Danger always feels like hockey; it’s the most dangerous thing Ilya knows, except for this. Everything dangerous in his life involves men’s bodies and just how close he can get to them. Closer than he probably should.

    A year after mysteriously dropping out of the 2009 draft, Shane Hollander is signed by the Boston Raiders, right behind Ilya Rozanov. Having the two biggest stars in the league on the same line is great for Boston — but playing alongside their worst rival was never exactly in Shane or Ilya's plans. Especially not when staying away from each other starts to feel just as impossible as getting along.

    Summary

    "Why are you not scared?"

    "I am scared," Ilya admits. "I just am tired. Of hiding me. Of hiding you. Of hiding how much I love you. I want to go to the rink— how do you say it? Authenti."

    "Authentically," Shane supplies, automatically.

    "Yes. Authentically. I want to go to the rink authentically, as me," Ilya confirms.

    Ilya looks at Shane, pauses until Shane meets his eyes. "I want to say: I, Ilya Rozanov, love a man, and that man's name is Shane Hollander."

     

    -

    Or, sometimes it takes a little more time, and some courage, to be with the one you love.
