    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov has spent ten years circling Shane Hollander. Ten years of hotel rooms and secret phone calls. Ten years of pretending he doesn't feel it, doesn't need it, doesn't wake up reaching for someone who's already gone. Ten years convincing himself he's not good enough. That he's not worth it.

    Then a plane needs to make an emergency landing near Montreal, and Yuna Hollander is on it.

    So when Shane calls him from a bathroom floor, unable to breathe, Ilya stops pretending.

    After five hundred miles of frozen highway, three and a half hours of driving like a man possessed, a hospital waiting room full of people who have every reason to hate him, and a boy who looks at him like he's something worth keeping, Ilya may have learned a thing or two about what it means to be loved—and to let himself love freely.

    Summary

    They’d considered it—Shane being gay. It’d been an option. But Ilya Rozanov and the way Shane looks at him like he’s the love of his life has blindsided them. Blindsided both of them, and there’s almost nothing Yuna likes less than being blindsided. 

    She’s not mad, David wants to say. We’re so proud of you. We’re so happy for you. We just didn’t know. 

    Somehow we missed it, you falling in love.

     

    or, what David Hollander and Ilya Rozanov talk about while Shane and Yuna are outside in episode six.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    He wants Ilya to know that. That that’s what had struck him more than Shane being gay, maybe even more than Shane being in love with Ilya—the fact that it had taken eight years for them to get where they are. Shane, who had systems for everything from loading the dishwasher to organizing his closet. Somehow, he let Ilya exist beside him for eight years without a label to whatever was growing between them. That feels monumental. That feels like all David needs to know.

    Summary

    Sometimes life came at you with a clenched fist and Ilya had never figured out how to duck.

    So here he was, twenty-eight years old, single, dealing with the fallout from injuries given to him by the game he loved, and the second youngest assistant coach in the league to one of the worst teams. Stability was hard to come by, but he was managing.

    Then along came Shane Hollander to knock him on his ass, one more time.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    "Does anyone else need to come out?" Bren asked. "Because we do actually have to run some drills today and play a game tomorrow. You can come out whenever you want, no pressure, but if you want get on the bandwagon right now your window is closing."

    "Coach," Bood said very seriously. "We don't need practice. We're going to kill them with the power of gay love and being a thousand times better at hockey than them."

    "They're all starting sound like you too," Ryan said.

    "I know," Ilya mimed wiping away a tear. "I am so proud."

    Summary

    “I told you. Hollander and I, we are in love. He is my hockey player.” Ilya wiggled his eyebrows at the joke, but couldn’t keep himself from watching Scott Hunter.
    “Sure, Roz. You and Hollander are in love, want to get married, spend the rest of your lives playing hockey together.” When Ilya didn’t immediately reply to that very accurate statement, Hunter continued: “If you two are in love, I’m straight. That’s how likely that is.” He had laughed and skated away, though Ilya really hadn’t understood what was supposed to be funny about that.
    Standing alone on the ice, the crowd slowly filing out of the rink, Ilya was faced with a startling realization: telling people may be harder than he thought.
    or
    What if Shane gave Ilya permission to soft launch their relationship. Ilya is, of course, thrilled and immediately starts telling everyone around him. Problem is, no one believes him!

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “My boyfriend, Shane Hollander.”

    Like Hunter, Hayes laughed. “That a boy, Rozy. Dream big.”

    Ilya ran over the words twice in his mind before he made himself ask, “Dream?”

    “Sure. I get it. Hollander’s a babe. Perfect crush material.” This earned a few more cheers in agreement from their teammates.

    “Crush? I don’t have crush. Russians do not do this.” Ilya could feel the same struggle unfolding before him.

    Wyatt reached over and laid a hand on Ilya’s shoulder. “Don’t worry about it, Rozy. We’ve all been there.”

    “No.” Ilya said as multiple of his beloved teammates nodded in agreement. “Shane is mine.”

    Instead of shock and thousands of questions, there was laughter. Wyatt squeezed his shoulder. “Manifest it.”
