    Summary

    “You should share your location with me,” is the first thing Ilya says when their next Facetime call connects.

    “Oh. Um. Why?” Shane did not think Ilya was going to glean any interesting information from that. Shane liked his routines, and his routines included his apartment, the Bell Centre, and his now rerouted running trail.

    “There is a man stalking you all over Montreal, in case you have forgotten.” Ilya arches an eyebrow, his mouth pinching unhappily at the corner.

    Or: Shane acquires a stalker from that night in Mexico. He tries to deal with it alone, until he no longer can.

    Summary

    Shane didn't expect it to have as far-reaching of an impact as it did.

    Summary

    Shane swallows. His mouth is dry from the wine. “Yeah.”

    Hunter’s eyes are molten in the low light. “Shane. Do you wanna come upstairs?”

    Shane is momentarily distracted by the way Hunter’s accent curls around his first name, but then the question registers and the realisation hits him like a lightning bolt. The words might be different, but the play is the same. I might open. I might knock.

    It’s a scene straight from his teenage daydreams, and it’s terrifying and electrifying all at once.

    “Yes,” he blurts.

    *

    After the unmitigated disaster that is their conversation in Sochi, Shane decides that he's done with Ilya Rozanov once and for all. Scott Hunter, eager to make amends for their fight on the ice, proves a convenient distraction.

    Reconciliation leads to realisations lead to a hotel room, and Shane ends up sleeping with Hunter on the same day Rozanov tells him we aren't anything.

    What he doesn't know is that Ilya's hotel room is right next to Hunter's. And Ilya is completely, totally, absolutely normal about this.

    Summary

    Ilya and Shane host a party for the start of this year’s Irina Foundation camp.

    --

    “The man doesn’t have any shame, that’s the thing." Marly grins, arm draped over Roz’s shoulders. “Therefore, it can’t be done. Rozy can’t be embarrassed. My money is safe.”

    “Nobody has ever won? Really?” Shane asks, smiling.

    Roz stares across at his husband then shrugs. “You are bluffing. Is fine, go ahead. There is nothing anyway, you can’t win.”

    “Well, I was just thinking,” Hollander says, “that the guys might be interested to hear that you...have a type?” Marly could swear Shane’s eyes glanced in the direction of Scott Hunter. Could swear too that Roz tracked the movement.

    --

    Shane gets competitive. Scott Hunter learns more than he bargained for. Marly is determined to be a really fucking good bro.

    Summary

    Ilya has sent him a picture. Of a dog.

    It’s a good-looking dog, to be fair. Medium-sized, glossy, bright-eyed. It’s not a bad picture to be sent, he’s just… not quite sure what to do with it.

    Then, a moment later, the caption arrives. This is Boris. I think I only go home with people who have dogs now.

    Ah. Right. Excellent. This is not, in fact, a picture of a dog. This is an announcement from Ilya that he got laid.

    Shane sighs. Wonderful.

    Perhaps he'll send back a picture of a dog, since Ilya seems to like them so much.
