    Summary

    Hesitantly, he brought a hand up and watched a figure from his memories reflected back in front of him copy his movements. When this young Shane in the mirror touched his face, he felt it on his own. He squeezed the skin on his right cheek, feeling distant and disconnected from reality. He continued pinching harder until it stung, only to be disappointed when he didn’t wake up back where he was supposed to be.

    He really was Shane Hollander, aged 22, all over again.

    ===

    Shane Hollander dies in 2022, on the day of his first wedding anniversary with Ilya Rozanov. Somehow, he's transported back nearly a decade into the past, to 2013, his memories and a ring letting him know it was all real. He speaks Russian now, having learned from Ilya in his past life, and has the benefit of hindsight. But does that mean he can really change anything, make things go more smoothly than last time, or will he be forced to fight for his relationship with Ilya for years, having to hide it once again now that he'd just gotten used to living with it openly? What would he do about his family, his friends? As it turns out, even knowledge of the future isn't always enough.

    Summary

    After the tuna melt meltdown, Shane meets Rose Landry, has several deeply inconvenient revelations, and decides to do the only sensible thing: win Ilya back with sincerity, logistics, and a frankly alarming amount of emotional effort.

    Ilya, meanwhile, mistakes every tender gesture for the kind prelude to an inevitable goodbye.

    Or: Shane is living in a romcom. Ilya is living in a Russian tragedy.

    Summary

    “Baby.” Shane drew back a little. Ilya had to fight back to the groan at the sudden absence of his mouth on his neck, the heat of his tongue now gone. “You can tell me.” There was a little furrow between his brows as he stared at Ilya, eyes searching his face.

    “It’s just…I’ve been thinking about it.”

    There. It was out. He said it.

    “What about it?”

    Shane planted a wet kiss on Ilya’s jaw, sucking at the skin a little there. Ilya’s hands twitched on Shane’s waist. “I want…I think maybe I want to…try it?”

    A moan fell from Shane’s lips right as Ilya spoke, just as he finally kissed Ilya on the mouth. His hands tightened in Ilya’s curls, tugging so sharply that it almost hurt. The pinpricks twisted into pleasure, pleasure that joined the heat in Ilya’s veins. “Fuck,” he whispered under his breath.

    “Really, baby?” Shane said, his tongue darting into Ilya’s mouth, running over his bottom lip. “You want to try?”

    “Yes, but…” Ilya felt that deep, dark part of him rise as he fought to get the next words out. He swallowed, inhaled. “I think maybe I am a little scared.”

    Summary

    “We could…be friends, maybe.” Shane’s voice was small, hesitant on almost every sound.

    “Wha–” Ilya’s reply was less of a word and more of a stupid, confused noise like he’d been punched. A punch probably would’ve caught him less off guard than what Shane actually said.

    “Y’know, text about the hockey gossip? You call, I answer? Friends.”

    Something terrifyingly bright exploded into Ilya’s chest. Something dangerous, that felt like maybe it could keep him warm through the summer in Russia, through the chill that permeated his childhood home no matter how warm it was outside.

    “And also we like to suck each other’s dicks,” he quipped, trying to deflect.

    “Fuck off, Rozanov.”

    ---

    Drunk and young and stupid, Shane and Ilya choose to be honest - just a little bit. To lean into each other, instead of apart. What happens if they choose to be a little bit brave on a Vegas rooftop in 2011, and keep choosing it?
