    Summary

    After a viral photo outs Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov while they're still busy pretending their years-long situationship is mostly just sex, the fallout gets complicated fast. The world reacts badly. Their teams react worse. Ilya's future in North America starts to look alarmingly fragile, and Shane, who has never met a disaster he didn't try to control into submission, throws himself into fixing what can still be fixed.

    Ilya has spent his whole life being wanted for the wrong reasons and discarded for the right ones. Shane has spent his whole life believing that if he is careful enough, good enough, controlled enough, he can keep disaster from reaching the people he loves.

    A practical solution emerges, then a house, then rings.

    Somehow, by the time they say their vows, both of them are certain they are the only one who means them.

    Summary

    Scott can’t stand Ilya Rozanov. Sure, Rozanov is a generational wunderkind, but he’s also annoying as hell and always ready with a chirp.

    “Do you have a spot in the nursing home yet, Hunter? I am hearing from my grandma they go fast!”

    “Are you getting tired? It must be past your bedtime already!”

    “What kind of skating is that? Is your arthritis acting up again?”

    Scott’s age is Rozanov’s favorite topic, but now that Scott has come out, he shudders to think about what Rozanov will throw at him this season.

    Or, 5 times Rozanov makes fun of Scott for being old, and 1 time he makes fun of Scott for being gay.

    Summary

    'The league loves nothing more than putting these two kids in each other's faces.'

    Or, the one time Shane tries to be funny and spends the next half-decade suffering (enjoying) the consequences.

    Summary

    “Why did you even come here?”

    “I came to get laid,” Ilya says honestly. “But my friend is not well, so.”

    Shane jerks his chin towards the door.

    “Still time,” he mutters.

    Summary

    When Shane takes a hard hit on the ice, he wakes up three days later to find his reality has been shattered. But the truth is, it wasn’t reality at all. Just an elaborate set of false memories conjured by a brain injury. 'False memory syndrome' they call it. Shane calls it a nightmare he couldn't have imagined.

    Or

    Shane doesn’t have amnesia. Instead, he wakes up wanting his boyfriend only to realize his brain concocted a bunch of fake memories of a nine year situationship and Shane has no idea how to live in his actual reality that Ilya hasn’t been a part of. Luckily, Ilya is…curious.
