Summary
Having just graduated from university with a law degree he never wanted, Wille chooses to follow his own path against his family’s wishes and opens up a quiet, cozy bookstore in the city. The store is doing well, tourists wander in during the weekends, and locals have started calling him by name. There’s even a little book club that meets in the back on Thursdays. On paper, he should feel proud. He is proud. He’s finally doing what he loves and he’s genuinely happy.
But some nights, especially the rainy ones like this one, he feels the hollowness anyway. The missing thing. The question with no answer. He doesn’t know what it is exactly that’s missing, just that something is. He can feel it.
Then, as if straight out of the many romance novels that stock his shelves, a beautiful boy with dark eyes and dark curls, and soaking wet from the storm, bursts into his quiet shop looking for a vinyl, and everything changes.

Summary
Ilya knows that no one loves the same version of a person; his Shane is different to Yuna’s Shane, who is different to David’s Shane, who is different to J.J., or Rose, or Hayden’s Shane. And while Ilya knows he’d fall in love with every single version, he’s happy he gets this one. Happy he gets the Shane who lets himself be trusting, and vulnerable, and honest.
It makes Ilya wish he could have loved Shane earlier - makes him wish he could have known him longer. But he’s just glad he gets to do it now, here, like this.
(Or, four times people are surprised by Shane’s clinginess, and one time they completely expect it.)

Summary
“You’re staring again.”
Wilhelm needs to blink multiple times before he’s able to tear his eyes away from the ever angelic creature only a few meters away from him. He immediately feels his cheeks heat up as he meets the unimpressed gaze of his friend Felice, who, after years of knowing him, is pretty used to and not at all surprised by his antics.
“I wasn’t staring,” he defends himself, knowing full well how useless it is for him to do so.
He had, as a matter of fact, been staring again, just like he had been the first time Felice had pointed it out not even ten minutes ago. He knows it, Felice knows it – to be fair, at this point he’s convinced that everyone on campus just knows it.
~
TLDR: Wilhelm is an awkward mess. Simon secretly loves it.

Summary
Six months ago, Shane’s intimate conversation and break-up with Rose Landry was recorded and leaked. In those six months, his life had completely upended and everything had changed, for better or for worse. Except for Ilya. He still has Ilya, and he’s beginning to understand that he always will.
It’s 2018. Shane Hollander has to figure out his new life, in a new city, on a new team, while being out to the world but not by his own choice. Ilya, along for the ride, also has to learn what it means to be connected to a place, to a person, and to his own inner truth.

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.
