    Summary

    “Shane Hollander.” Shane said out loud. His own name. As if it was a statement. Behind his eyes, Ilya saw as the cogs were working.
    Ilya nodded slowly, unsure how to proceed, “Yes. That is you.”
    Shane nodded slowly, “Right. They said that earlier. Shane Hollander.”
    “Who? What do you mean?”
    Shane pulled back from Ilya’s touch, sitting up a little taller on the bed. He looked up to Ilya again, still searching for something. Soon revealing what it was and that he could not find it, “I’m sorry. Who are you?”

    Shane's injury during the game in Boston is much more severe than expected. Not physically. Mentally. The problem is that Shane Hollander doesn't remember anything about his own life. Not even his hockey career. That includes Ilya Rozanov.
    As Shane's network of family and friends try to help him remember something... anything about his life, Ilya crumbles under the feeling of loneliness. His parents are dead. Russia feels like a distant memory. And he's carrying a secret that no one else shares anymore.

    Will this new blank slate be a fresh start for the two of them? Or is it the end of a story never told?

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is Britain's most promising Quidditch Talent. Already being fought for by Europe's biggest teams despite it not even being his Rookie year yet.
    Shane always has a plan, and if all had gone as he’d intended, his final year at Hogwarts would be spent on a broom winning match after match in front of the scouts before finally having his pick of teams. To his horror, his plans are then thrown into utter disarray when Hogwarts is chosen to host the most dangerous magical competition known amongst the three great wizarding schools: The Triwizard tournament. 
    Shane is gutted as his hopes for winning the Quidditch cup are thrown out the window, but it doesn't take long for him to realise that this time he might be able to aim for something different—something bigger. Maybe even the most prestigious title a Graduate could hold—Triwizard Champion. 

    Shane Hollander has always been destined to Win. That is until Drumstrang's prospect Ilya Rozanov, the only man ever to best him, steps into his path. Creating yet another dangerous task Shane would have to get past to win.

    And oh, how Shane hates him for it.

    But then Cordyceps happened and life as he knew it changed.

    He’s been leading a group of survivors since, through treacherous circumstances and unimaginable losses.
     
    Five years ago, Ilya Rozanov was living each day like it might be his last.

    Boston. Fast cars. Clubs. Friends. Russia in his rearview.

    Now, people look to him as a leader. They believe in him more than anyone has. He’s become determined to prove them right.

    When they encounter another group of survivors, Ilya finds someone he wants to believe in him too. More than he probably should.

    Shane Hollander now operates like each day could be their last.

    Ilya Rozanov now sees a future worth fighting for.

    OR

    Shane thinks life is about survival. Ilya is determined to show him that it can be more than that.

    Summary

    Ily has one rule: No dating coworkers. Enter Shane Hollander, coming in all perfect and good at his job and everyone loves him.
    It is just disgusting, what is also disgusting is how much Ilya wants to feel him, know him, love him. When all Shane seems to be concerned with is work and Rose fucking Landry.

    or

    Ilya quickly slides himself behind Rose, who throws her head back and smiles at Ilya. She’s so comfortable with him.
    And of course he moves with ease against her, his hands on her hips.
    He looks up and locks eyes with Shane.
    What is this guys problem?
    Does he have to show me up at everything?

    Then Shane really looks at him, his eyes are hooded and locked on Shane as they dance with Rose sandwiched between them.
    And he can feel Rose’s body pressing more and more against him, until Ilya and Shane’s heads are so close together peering over her petite frame, with only her hair blocking their chins from each other.
    Then it happens so fast.
    Ilya’s hand slides off of Rose’s hip and falls on Shane’s, pushing his hip to sway more, gripping slightly over the bone. 
Shane can just picture what it would be like to have that hand grab him while—
