    Summary

    As a straight man, Ilya Rozanov has never had a gay roommate before, but it’s going pretty well. Shane Hollander is kind, silly, and an even bigger hockey nut than Ilya.

    So when Shane starts bringing men over, and Ilya begins to want to bash their fucking heads in, Ilya comes to a startling conclusion: He must be homophobic.

    (He’s jealous.)

    Summary

    Maybe if the video ended there, Shane thought, it would be okay. Okayish. Still incriminating. Still a fucking disaster. Still embarrassing, to have his breakup with this beautiful actress filmed and disseminated on Reddit of all fucking places, but not a nail in his coffin, burying him alive. But the video didn’t end there.

    “Can I ask if you’ve ever been with another guy?” she had to ask.

    And he, tears visible in his eyes, had to nod.

    Just once. Just a single nod.

    Why did he have to nod?

    “Have you ever told anyone that before?” He shook his head. “Was it different? With a guy?”

    “Of course.”

    Of course.

    “Was it better?”

    “Yes.”

    +++

    Shane’s conversation with Rose is secretly recorded. Months later, after the All-Star game and Ilya’s confession in Russian, the video gets leaked online. Shane is outed to the world while Ilya is in Russia, and must now finish the 2016-2017 season with the entire world in on his secret.

    Summary

    “That’s all anybody is trying to do, right?” Mobei Jun continued. “Find a way to be safe?”

    Shang Qinghua pressed the heels of his hands into his eyes. “Maybe they should stop.”

    He could feel Mobei Jun looking back up at him again. “You think that?”

    “Fuck all it did me, trying to stay safe,” Shang Qinghua said weakly, dropping his hands and looking up at him. “I spent two years alone. What’s the point in being safe if I don’t have anybody?”

    Mobei Jun met his stare steadily. “What’s the point in being in danger if you don’t have anybody?”

    Shang Qinghua breathed in, then out. “Then I guess not being alone is the real solution then, isn’t it?”

    Mobei Jun looked back at his food. “Yeah. Yeah, maybe.”

    Summary

    “Am I too boring for you?”

    He doesn’t mean to ask. Doesn’t mean for those words to come out. They fall from his lips before he has a chance to stop them, and the second they’re out there he wants to take them back. He wants to swallow them down so they can’t hurt anyone but himself.

    Because Ilya…Ilya flinches.

    “What.”
