    Summary

    Their viscous fight to win the cup ended in victory but it didn’t erase the pains and aches within their battered bodies. Sometimes one bad brain day just turns into a bit of a slump, and Ilya had been in the depths of a depressive flare up. The cup run coincided with various dates like their birthdays, and more emotionally, the anniversary of Ilya’s mother's death. Hyper-flashes of delayed grief he’d been suppressing while they channeled all their energies to the ice had hit him full force once their summer had truly begun and he had the space to sink into himself. But today was a good day, like the past few days had been. And Shane, noticing his mood shift, felt it was time to leave the house, eat some food they didn’t cook or have delivered, and take a drive somewhere special.

    xxx
    Ilya's been slowly working through a depression flare up and Shane’s knows exactly when it’s time to pull him all the way out of it with a date night, intimate care, and rough romantic love making.

    Summary

    June 2010. Ilya Rozanov is delayed after the CCM shoot. By the time he gets to the locker room, Shane Hollander is out of the showers and Ilya’s entire plan is ruined.
    Only not quite fully ruined. Hollander invites him to dinner with his parents as a thank you for arranging the shoot and Ilya, in a burst of insanity, agrees. He hits it off with Yuna and David. They all exchange numbers. He and Hollander become friends.
    At no point does Ilya stop wanting more from him.

    June 2016. Ilya Rozanov is a superstar. A Cup winner. An MVP. Women want him, men want to be him. He’s fucking miserable.
    He’s in love with his best friend. He can’t deny it anymore. Only now Shane is dating a movie star and happier than Ilya’s ever seen him. Ilya can’t ruin that for him, can’t ruin their friendship by asking for what he knows Shane can’t give. No matter how much it kills him.

    A charity event in San Francisco. A catastrophic computer failure. A fateful decision to drive, not fly. Two days in a car, just the two of them. Alone. Together.
    Ilya’s sick with excitement and with dread, because how can he keep his secrets with Shane so close for so long?

    What he doesn’t know is that Shane has secrets too.

    Summary

    “Uh, actually,” Shane says. He clears his throat, picks at something on his shirt. “Actually, I’m…”

    “Daddyyyyyy! Make Ruby stop pushing me! Daddyyy!”

    “I’m, um…” Shane says.

    Hayden thinks maybe he can’t hear Shane over the girls screaming, because he keeps missing the rest of that sentence. “What?”

    “I’m gay,” Shane spits out. “So.”

    -----

    Shane comes out, first to his best friend, and then, in the first regular game of the 2017-2018 season, to the rest of his team.

    Summary

    So what is the plan now, Mr. Spreadsheet?

    “Honestly I was kind of hoping your consciousness would just click back into your body once I touched you.” Shane scratches the back of his head.

    You treat me like slap bracelet, Ilya complains.

    After a bad hit knocks Ilya’s consciousness out of his body — literally — Shane finds himself sheltering the soul of his decade-long situationship in the back of his head. Turns out it’s a lot harder to keep secrets when you share a body.

    (They definitely still try, though.)

    Summary

    “Ilya, what are we gonna do?” Shane says.

    Ilya finishes whatever he has been doing on his phone, and tosses it gently to the bed beside him. He crosses the room to Shane, stands in front of him, squeezes into his shoulders with his big hands, rubbing them like he means to warm them up.

    “Looks like we will have a little vacation,” he says, with a big obnoxious grin.

     


     

    Boston and Montreal are sent to Paris to play against each other in an exhibition series in January 2017. Ilya and Shane decide to stay in Paris for one more night. Just one more night, so they can talk. Maybe finally understand each other.

    They aren't expecting a volcano to erupt in Iceland and close all the airspace in Europe, leaving them stranded there. Together.
