Summary
“Expecting company?” the person calls.
There’s no way.
He knows that voice—has heard it in his bed, and on the ice, and in his dreams—but he hasn’t heard it this closely and alone in years.
For a split second, he thinks no one will be there. That Svetlana was right, and becoming a recluse was making him crazy.
When Ilya finally does turn around, Shane Hollander is standing there, looking at him warily.
“Ilya?”
The ghost is back, only he speaks, and he’s not really a ghost at all.
Or, Shane and Ilya never speak again after the tuna melt debacle and Shane marries Rose. Seven years later, news hits that they are getting a divorce. Somehow, Shane shows up on the doorstep of Ilya's remote cottage, with only a duffel bag and a small hope. For Ilya, time has changed both nothing and everything.

Summary
Shane is heavier than he used to be; his weight bears down on Ilya in a new way. He’s put on pounds of muscle since Ilya last touched him like this. Ilya flattens his palms, skims them under Shane’s undershirt, feels the flat solidity of his abs, the bulk of his lats, the swell of his chest. It’s the same and it’s new, this body; it’s the boy he couldn’t stop thinking about when he was 18 and the man he loved enough to let go at 26 and the person who somehow always comes to find him when he’s lost.
A stranger, and the love of his life.
—
or, Ilya's father doesn't die in 2017; Ilya breaks up with Shane instead of confessing his love. They get older, but not any less stupid about each other. Shane gets a boyfriend; Ilya gets on medication; they work on becoming whole people. And they always find their way back to each other.
OR a story for those who love Shane and Ilya's baby love but ALSO think it's hot when people in their thirties make active choices about who they are and what they want in their partner!!
Note: the "cheating" tag refers to the relationship between Shane and his aforementioned BF, not to Shane and Ilya cheating on each other.

Summary
“So, when do you think you two will be ready to have kids?” Yuna asks. She lifts her eyebrows while taking a sip of her wine and glances between them.
Shane’s muscles tense instantaneously. He fights the urge to spit out the water he has just taken a drink of, and instead swallows it down.
“Mom,” he mutters, shaking his head ever so slightly in warning. No. Please don’t.
She’s not even asking if they will have children, but when. Because the fact that they will seems like a foregone conclusion to his mother. And why wouldn’t it when she’s implied for years that she expects grandchildren, and Shane is her only child?
