Summary
“I’m here, you’re alright,” a new, heavily accented voice came from somewhere behind him. It sounded really far away, but suddenly strong, steady hands were on his back. “I need to cut the seatbelt to get you out.”
Shane wanted to talk, wanted to nod and say that he understood, but he felt like a sack of bones, unable to get his voice to work, or his body to co-operate. Shane was distantly aware of being cut loose, of being caught as he sagged forward. He gasped at the pain when his shoulder landed against something soft.There was a sharp, short inhale.
“Shane?”
OR
Five years after one unforgettable night with a stranger in a Boston frat house, Shane Hollander has built the life he always thought he wanted: professional hockey, a successful career and the perfect girlfriend. But when Rose breaks up with him, Shane is forced to confront the uncomfortable truth that something has never quite felt right, and his thoughts turn to the one person he’s never quite been able to forget. And then, on the worst night of his life, the past comes crashing back into him.

Summary
"He knew that in the grand scheme of things, three weeks was nothing. It was a blip, genuinely inconsequential. Barely enough time to learn the shape of another person, let alone miss them.
He'd spent years telling himself exactly that.
It had never quite taken. "
--
Between the World Junior Championship and the NHL Draft, all of the top prospects are sent to a three week development camp.Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov end up sharing a room. For a brief moment, they find something in each other neither of them expected.
Then Ilya vanishes from their cabin without explanation.
Years pass. They are drafted to opposite conferences. Their careers take off. Their lives move on.
But some things never quite stay buried. When a trade brings Ilya to Boston, the almost they've spent years outrunning is, suddenly, standing directly in front of them.

Summary
"Shane tethered himself to Ilya's side. He remained there the whole day.
And he hadn’t left, not really. He just excused himself for a moment or two at a time. But he always came back. Each time with something for Ilya. His medication with cold water, some of his favorite crisps and a premade sandwich, a cool washcloth that he used to wipe his face."
-The morning after the anniversary of his mother’s death, Ilya wakes tangled up in grief, memory, and the steady warmth of the man who has spent years teaching him that love can stay. Over the course of one quiet summer morning at the cottage, Shane takes care of him in all the small ways that matter most.

Summary
“Shane had been used to being alone. He'd never thought of himself as lonely. He honestly often craved the solitude, found it grounding. But that was before he knew what it was like to have someone to call, someone to touch. He was never lonely before Rozanov, but he'd been lonely ever since.”
April 2017: Shane does not get laid out on the ice.
Ilya goes through with ending it.
Shane lets him.
What follows is eleven months of distance, denial, and a quiet kind of devastation neither of them knows how to name, let alone fix.
They learn how to live without each other.
(Or at least, how to pretend.)
And then, almost a year later, the infamous collision happens and Shane goes down cold.
And suddenly, neither of them can pretend it doesn’t matter.

Summary
"He didn’t want Ilya to know that he had driven all night. He would be worried. But there hadn’t really been another option. Shane had been too tense to sleep, too tense to breathe properly. Seeing Ilya would help him relax. He was always good at giving Shane what he needed. He would tease him first, of course.
“Fucking relax, Hollander.”
But he would. Relax. As soon as he had Ilya in his arms. His heart would stop hammering, his bones would stop vibrating, the rush in his ears would quiet. He knew it. He just needed to see him. Because he was fine. Ilya was fine.
Ilya almost died. Ilya almost -"
OR
A character study looking at how well Shane Hollander would deal with, and process, almost losing the love of his life.
Spoiler alert: Not well.

Summary
Ilya has two problems.
The first is that his best friend is freshly single and needs to get laid. The second is that Ilya is having some...weird feelings about it.
These are completely platonic and heterosexual concerns for his friend, of course.

Summary
“If a crystal ball could tell you the truth about yourself, your life, the future or anything else, what would you want to know?” Quickly, Ilya adds, “Don’t say that you want to know if you win the Cup.”“Why not? What if that’s my answer?”
“Is so boring, Hollander. Of course you want to know this. But Ilya Rozanov and Boston Raiders exist in this world, so crystal ball says, so sad, but no.”
“Fuck off. What are these questions even for, anyway? Are you interviewing me for something? Wouldn’t you have to, like, tell me if you were?”
Ilya is quick to assure Hollander before his paranoia takes him right out of this phone call. “It is not for interview, Hollander. I am just wondering. Answer the question.”
“And I can’t say that I would want to know whether I win the Cup.”
“Yes, other than that.”
“I guess… I guess I would want to know, like, am I happy?”
Ilya reads an article about 36 questions that are supposed to make people fall in love. He decides to ask Shane.- Language:
