    Summary

    Lily is calling Shane for the first time ever, and it's in the middle of a rowdy locker room, and they haven't spoken in two months since the tuna melt and first names situation. Lily called twice before Shane was sent to press following a win. There he is asked about the leaked explicit photographs between himself and rival, Ilya Rozanov.

    Ilya immediately flies to Montreal to face his feelings for Shane, no longer needing to hide in shadows as their lives become more public than ever. Russia cancels Ilya's passport and he becomes stuck in Canada, forcing both Shane and Ilya into decisions they were barely ready to make.

    Ilya and Shane come to a head with their public personas as their true selves take shape for everyone to see. What they didn't know was how thrilling and freeing it would be to let go of everything that held them at arms length from the other, embracing the versions of themselves they see in each other instead of what prying public eyes decide to make of them.

    Could it be possible to lose everything that defined them as rivals but gain something so much more in the love they hold each other?

    Summary

    Svetlana knows about Jane. It's frankly insulting for Ilyusha to think otherwise.

    She just never expected to have to call him for help. During the Olympics. In Russia. In the dead of night.

    -
    Or, it's Sochi 2014 and Russia has lost to Latvia. Grigori Rozanov, not yet compromised by illness, punishes his son for shaming the family. When Svetlana finds an injured and emotionally fragile Ilya, she knows she needs somewhere safe for him to recover. And there's only one person in Russia who Sveta trusts with her Ilyusha: Canada's Golden Boy, Shane Hollander.

    Summary

    Shane and Ilya's new life in Ottawa and the Centaurs is just beginning. They want to live in the comfort of their love and hard-earned peace, go to Pride, play hockey, and have a family. But some in the outside world disagree.
    Settling into a new routine, a new team and a new phase of their relationship is both thrilling and challenging, but they have learnt one thing after thirteen years:

    They can do anything together, and the Centaurs are not the team the hockey world remembers any more.
    They are Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov and nothing can break them apart.
    Not the comments, not the podcasts, not the league and definitely not Roger Crowell.

     

    Meanwhile a call from Russia changes everything and the peace they carved out for themselves spins their lives in unexpected directions.

    Set post-The Long Game

    Updated weekly.
    The whole story is mapped out and will be quite long.

    Summary

    After the tuna meltdown, they never really get the chance to get back together, only watching each other’s lives from a distance, occasionally reaching out through texts, pretending it’s enough.

    Until one day, Shane receives a package at his doorstep.
    It’s a book. It’s Ilya Rozanov’s memoir.

    Summary

    “You have a ride back home, right? Please tell me you aren’t going to drive. You’ll crash one of your stupid sports cars and get a concussion. Or die.”

    “Awe, so sweet to me, worrying. But no, I am in Moscow. I have no good cars here, only shitty Marussia B2. Stupid purchase. You know, the B2 is just B1 but with fancier clothes? Look better than B1, though. B1 look like low-money 80’s future movie.” He makes an annoyed sound. “No. I do not have word. научная фантастика. What is movie type that has flying cars?”

    “Jesus,” Shane says, running a hand through his hair. “I don’t think I’ve ever heard you talk so much.”

    “You like my voice, da? So is no problem, for you.”

    “Fuck you. Do you mean sci-fi?”

    Rozanov makes a triumphant sound. “Yes, that! Sci-fi. B1 look like that meme of a cat’s face covered in cream. Ugly car. So, at least I have better choice. I can look at it and not wish to drive it off cliff and into garbage land.”

    “...You’re thinking of a landfill.”

    Or, Ilya keeps calling Shane at odd hours to talk about nothing and everything. Shane, for some reason he can’t quite rationalize, keeps answering. And texting. And then things get a bit out of hand.
