Summary
Shane could’ve sworn Ilya just said his name.
Not Hollander. His first name. The word Shane just left Ilya’s mouth.
No— that wasn’t— they didn’t do that.
That wasn’t what they were supposed to be.
What was he doing? This wasn’t what their deal was.
Shane shut down any desires for change as soon as he looked down at Ilya’s eyes and realized just how scarily easy that would be.
———
Ilya never should’ve offered up a tuna melt. Shane never should’ve declined.
The impossibility of another reality after that day never seemed to leave them. -

Summary
“What was that?”
“Nothing.”
Shane hadn’t even realized he slipped into French until after the fact.
“That wasn’t nothing,” Ilya responded after a beat. He looked like he was physically unable to keep the smile off of his face.
*ੈ✩‧₊˚
Shane speaks French. Ilya loves it. -

Summary
When John leaves upstate for a few days and comes back to find his boyfriend a completely different person, he has no clue on how to handle any of it.
Alexander isn’t speaking to him. Not in the “I’m mad at you” way, but it’s something completely different. He won’t even look him in the eye.
His attempts at trying to help Alex are falling flat; neither one of them were making progress with each other.
And it scares John.

Summary
———————————————————————————
John Laurens lives in a small college town, working in a local bakery. He practically runs the place; his boss tends to understaff the joint. He finds passion in baking, as it helps him distract himself from his issues, yet still feels shame in it.
Alexander Hamilton is a recently accepted student at King's college. A slightly awkward yet outwardly passionate student, he's studying law and is taking a legal internship at a nearby law firm.
There isn't much going for either of them, and that fact just may be the exact reason why they form a connection so easily.
———————————————————————————
"One medium black coffee... and a cupcake..." John punches his order into the register, pulling a cup off of the top of a stack of them on the counter. He pulls a clickable sharpie out of his apron, pulls the cap off with his mouth, and clicks open the marker, "Name?"
"I'm- I'm the only one here," he replies, a feeble attempt at a joke.
"It's company policy," John deadpans, sharpie in hand.
He pauses for a moment, unsure of how to respond. He lets out a small laugh, before crossing his arms, "Alex."

cardiac tamponade by asthestarsforetold

Summary
Cardiac tamponade: pressure on that heart that prevents it from filling and beating adequately.
Shane thought he knew two things: his move to Ottawa would cause chaos, and that the Ottawa Centaurs were nice.
As it turned out, he only knew one of those things.
(Or: the Cens are still a team of professional hockey players. They're going to fuck up.)

the fuckboy challenge (fuckboy not included) by shadowquill17

Summary
“Okay, Roz, the challenge is simple,” Davey says, slightly hurried like he knows he’s losing their focus. “Three questions. First, think of the best sex of your life.”
“Yes.”
Rozanov looks very relaxed, surrounded by his team, casually indulging rookies like he has all the time in the world.
“Now, uh, you grade it out of ten. Not the person, like—not how hot the person was, but how good the sex was, yeah?”
“Would be same answer anyway,” Rozanov says easily. “Twelve.”
Or, a video of Ilya doing the “fuckboy challenge” is posted. The internet reacts.

Summary
2014: Ilya Rozanov shocks the world and breaks Shane Hollander’s heart by disappearing without explanation, and without a goodbye kiss.
2024: A devastating injury forces Shane to retire early, so he moves to a small town to coach girls hockey and figure out what the hell to do with the rest of his life.
When recently divorced Ilya Rozanov walks into the rink with his twin girls, Shane has to decide if he’s brave enough to risk a second chance on a broken heart, and a rekindled romance with the first and only boy he ever loved.
***
“So.” Ilya cleared his throat. “Should we tell the girls their Papa and their coach used to date?”
“We didn’t date. We hooked up a few times, then you disappeared.” Shane looked away to hide his heartbreak as he lied, “It doesn’t even matter. It’s not like I loved you or anything.”
“No, of course not.” Ilya tried to smile through a lie of his own, “I didn’t love you either.”
