    Summary

    It happens in an instant.

    Over Ilya’s shoulder, Shane sees the doctor and Wiebe give each other a look, and in a sudden bout of impatient anxiety, Shane ends up saying the words that come to ruin everything.

    “Don’t touch me.”

    The effect is instantaneous. Ilya’s hands fly to his sides, and Shane gets a front row seat as Ilya’s heart breaks before his very eyes. Eyes dimming and lips trembling in slow, painful technicolor.

    It causes Shane’s heart to break, too, and he vows, immediately, never to see such a look cross his husband’s face again.

    OR Shane embarks on a mission to heal his husband’s heart, one PDA at a time.

    Like he does with everything else, Shane throws his head into PDA planning with meticulous finesse. With lists and charts and diagrams. He creates a timeline and a list of potential PDAs, ranking them on a scale from “Small” to “Scott Hunter”, wondering which ones might fit best within which particular contexts. With a burner account, Shane creates a vision board, and then, just to be thorough, he creates three more.

    Summary

    “Stop saying dick pic,” Shane hissed. “This is harassment.” He glared at the bulge in his pants. “You are harassing me.”

    “I do not know what this word means.”

    “How fucking convenient for you.”

    “Aw, Hollander,” Rozanov said, but he sounded a little contrite. After a beat, he asked, “Do you want me to stop?”

    “Don’t you fucking dare stop,” Shane said through clenched teeth, surreptitiously palming himself to take the edge off. It didn’t help.

    “So do you want my dick or not?” Rozanov asked after another beat.

    (In which Shane responds to Ilya’s texts between 2011 and 2013.)

    It was a folded note. With—Shane squinted—a room number on it, and the name of a hotel just down the street from where he and his team were staying.

    “Shane,” he’d grumble, nosing at Shane’s shoulder as they lay in bed. “The collar is… perfect. But it stays here. I want… I want to take a piece of you with me. Something they can see.”

    Summary

    The Swiss National League doesn’t care about the legendary Hollander-Rozanov rivalry. When the MLH can’t negotiate with the Hockey Players’ Union in time to prevent a hockey lockout at the start of the 2015 season, the Zürich Lions jump at the chance to sign both Shane and Ilya to short-term contracts. For four months in Switzerland, they share a team, a line, a house, and a bed. 

    Then the lockout ends in January, and it’s time to go back. Back to different countries, cities, lives. Beds.

    Reentry is harder than expected.

    They lived together for a few months in Zürich. It was a small house, owned by one of the Lions’ owner’s brothers who only ever spent the summer there. Two floors, three bedrooms, a nice kitchen even if someone decided to paint it this fugly yellow color, a tiny balcony overlooking a narrow street that Ilya would smoke out on at least once a week.

    Summary

    Kip is hit with a wave of relief when he sees Scott at the front of the crowd, sweat-dried hair a mess from everyone rubbing his head. He’s out of his pads and jersey, in a black Under Armor shirt Kip has only ever seen in the laundry. The charge of seeing Scott like this, sizzling with energy and salty with sweat, surrounds Kip like a net and pulls him under.

    He is not used to this feeling, the thrill that courses through him that this Scott—team captain, public figure—can be claimed as his. He wants to do so, but has no idea how to negotiate this new world and new arrangement. Scott scans the room and sees him, eyes bright.

    ---

    Scott and Kip have only been back together, properly, for three months when Scott comes out. Now it's the summer after.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    He looked forward to holding Scott’s hand in public, but maybe, if he’s honest, he did not imagine it as such a spectacle. The simple fact of his place in history. For the rest of his life, he will be Scott Hunter’s boyfriend. No matter what he does with his newly-earned degree, what he accomplishes, this will be the first line of his obituary. There are worse fates for better men, Kip thinks.
