    Summary

    “I am sorry,” he says. “I am not trying to fight. I just don’t like the idea of you not being okay and me not knowing, even when I am in the same place as you.”

    That Shane can understand. He wouldn’t like it if their positions were reversed, after all, if he thought Ilya was potentially in danger and he was in the next room over drinking champagne and making smalltalk. He sees Ilya go somewhere in his head sometimes, sees him retreat inwards, sees him check out even if his body is still there, going so deep inside that he doesn’t even catch Shane’s eye for a bit even when something funny happens, too far away for Shane to reach him.

    But it’s also not like he can just go up and grab Ilya by the arm and pull him away from the party, not without inviting speculation and a whisper storm. He doesn’t have that right, doesn’t have that privilege, to potentially need Ilya or be needed by Ilya and be able to just pull him away.

    It’s moments like these that Shane feels the weight of their secret like a physical thing.

    Summary

    Shane gets a snack in Regina and ends up in a stairwell with Ilya Rozanov. A month later he takes three dozen different pregnancy tests that all say the same thing.

    And no one can ever know.

    Except Ilya isn't blind. He isn't stupid. He can do math. And Shane Hollander's sheltered daughter looks like him.

    Summary

    Remember when Hayden Pike punches Ilya after Shane said not to, right before the announcement of the Irina Foundation? Remember that that was the second time Hayden laid his hands on Ilya in the first month of knowing him?

    Or, Shane gets rightfully fed up after the first month of Hayden's behavior towards Ilya. Punching Ilya was the final straw, so he tells Hayden to pretend he never found out. It sets off a chain of events landing him, happily, in Ottawa a year earlier and with a better support system for both him and Ilya.

    Summary

    Shane's life comes to be defined by 'Before the 2008 Prospect Cup' and 'After'.

    Before he met his rival, his only equal in the sport he built himself around, Ilya Rozanov; and after his parents told Shane that he was going to be become an older brother for the first time at the age of seventeen.

    ***

    Yuna and David have an unexpected late-life baby right as Shane's professional hockey career is both taking off and put at risk by his attraction to not only another man but his only real rival (in hockey, at least).

    Summary

    Shane Hollander expected a lot out of the combine before the 2009 NHL draft: meeting the competition, impressing possible future teams and ultimately securing his spot in the NHL.

    What he didn't expect was 50 questions that were about to change his whole damn life.

    Or: How an autism diagnosis, a therapist and something magical called communication rebuild the whole trajectory of the Hollander/Rozanov saga bit by bit.
