    Summary

    “He’s never given me any details about your sex life. But he did tell me once that you’d brought out a side of him that he doesn’t share with anyone else,” Svetlana said. “And that I’d never seen him like that before.” 

    “Oh.” Shane caressed the side of Ilya’s throat. He pressed his fingers against the warmth and remembered last night, how the world had both quieted and stretched around them. It made him feel brave. “Would you like to?”

    OR: Shane breaks his threesome rule. Kind of. [Standalone]

    Summary

    Shane wants to figure out if he's gay before he gets drafted—and no, the way he felt when Ilya Rozanov smirked at him with a cigarette between his lips in Saskatchewan has nothing to do with it. Unfortunately, the random guy he hooks up with to try and make sure one way or another takes a picture, and Shane gets outed before the draft. In the ensuing scandal, he goes seventh overall, to Ottawa.

    It turns out, having the worst thing you can think of happen to you when you're seventeen years old can end up being pretty liberating. And land you an unexpected best friend.

    Summary

    At that moment, Ilya knew he was hallucinating, and that he’d hit his head a lot harder than he thought.

    Because here was Shane fucking Hollander— in his fucking kitchen, wearing his fucking clothes. He was making borscht.

    “What the fuck,” Ilya croaked.

    (Ilya takes a rough hit. Shane is there to take care of him.)

    Summary

    There was a small recoil, nothing Shane would consciously register as a recoil, just a slight drawing-back of his head and a micro-expression crossing the bridge of his nose.

    His brows pulled together for one second, and he pulled the carton away from his face, examining the opening.

    Ilya Rozanov has seven cameras. Ilya Rozanov has a blog.

    His gay roommate doesn't know about any of this.

    Summary

    “Game is over,” he says. “You won. I lost. I was annoying. Normal.”

    “That’s not—” Shane starts, then stops, because he actually doesn't know how to finish that thought without sounding like an idiot. His jaw works, teeth grinding together.

    That's not what I meant. That's not the point. You said I was boring and you were right and I need you to say it again so I know where I stand, so I know what you think of me, so I can stop waiting for the other shoe to drop.

    He settles for: “You were kind of an asshole.”
