Summary
Lately, playing hockey wasn't even as much fun as it used to be. Games were always the highlight, but even that, it didn’t feel as good since his team had been falling apart.
And all that because he came out as gay.
He didn’t really fault them for taking some time to accept it, so Shane let them talk. If that helped them digest the news, so be it.
He let them distance themselves from him, let them gossip around to other teams, let them make him the butt of jokes he didn’t understand.Shane didn’t mind, all things considered.
Everything was fine.

Summary
”It’s not bad” says his mom, carefully. “Very Canadian, sponsors are happy about that.” That, and not much else, he can tell. A loon is neither masculine nor impressive. A disappointment, to those who hoped he’d have something like a wolf, himself included. His dad tries to bake him the traditional settling cake, in the shape of the new adults’ daemon, but his cake decorating skills aren’t great, so it mostly looks like a grey football. And Shanes’ strict diet doesn’t allow for cake.

Shane Hollander, the soul he didn't choose to have, the boy he didn't choose to love, and the life that, despite all odds, might just end up worth living.

“I will get the next round. Shane, do you want anything?”
Shane tilts his head up to smile at him.“Hey!” Wyatt crows, “Just Shane? What’s up with the favoritism?”
Ilya squeezes Shane’s shoulder again when he tenses. “My beautiful husband is very neurotic and likes specific drinks. You all are, hm… basic bitches and drink only beer. It’s easy, I get you another pitcher and you are happy.”
“Hey, you don’t know that! Maybe I want a cocktail.”
Shane's first outing as a member of the Centaurs.

Summary
“Surprised?” Rozanov asks.
“There’s nothing – this is nothing,” Shane forces out.
“Soulmates is something,” Rozanov says.
“You know you should say Connected Person, not soulmate,” Shane says. “It’s old-fashioned and sugar-coating.”
Rozanov takes a drag of his cigarette and looks Shane up and down. “Sugar? You think is always sweet and fun?”
---
Shane and Ilya are soulmates. A lot of it is sweet, and some of it is hard.
