    Summary

    Shane Hollander is one of the best search and rescue specialists in North America. He doesn't do private clients. He doesn't do rich adrenaline junkies with camera crews and a death wish. He does, apparently, do forty thousand dollars when his parents need it badly enough. One week on Karanov's summit should be simple. Assess the snowpack, make the call, go home. Then the storm rolls in, the helicopter can't fly, and Shane is stuck in an eleven by nine foot ranger station with Ilya Rozanov — Olympic gold medalist, professional daredevil, and the most infuriating man Shane has ever met.

    Summary

    “You’ll text when you land, right?” Shane asks as he takes an exit ramp labeled Airport Departures.

    “Yes. Promise.”

    “And you’ll call tonight?” Shane’s throat works over the words, like he still doesn’t trust this new thing between them. Ilya thinks he understands. He also doesn’t know how to trust this love. How can he when it has been trapped in his own heart so long. Neither of them know what the next year will bring. There is so much time before Ilya can have his agent, or his future agent, he will need a new one with no connections to Russia, reach out to Ottawa and hope that they’ll be interested in a future Hall of Fame center. The one thing Ilya is certain of is that he will do everything in his power to make their plan work. He spent his entire adult life lusting after, and then pining for Shane with his whole heart.

    “I will call.” Ilya reaches for the hand Shane has left on the gearshift and threads his fingers through his. He wants to say so much, but he has always been better with touch than words, especially when the only shared language was English. “We will talk every day.”

    Or, There is a year before Ilya can sign with Ottawa, Shane counts down the days until their forever.

    Summary

    When Shane takes a hard hit on the ice, he wakes up three days later to find his reality has been shattered. But the truth is, it wasn’t reality at all. Just an elaborate set of false memories conjured by a brain injury. 'False memory syndrome' they call it. Shane calls it a nightmare he couldn't have imagined.

    Or

    Shane doesn’t have amnesia. Instead, he wakes up wanting his boyfriend only to realize his brain concocted a bunch of fake memories of a nine year situationship and Shane has no idea how to live in his actual reality that Ilya hasn’t been a part of. Luckily, Ilya is…curious.

    Summary

    "But it hadn't been just once. Instead of getting Shane out of his system he learned that his body just seemed to crave more, more, more. He wanted Shane all the fucking time. And not just to fuck, although he wanted that too. He wanted Shane’s tired mornings and boring evenings.

    And fuck, is Shane boring.

    But boring in a way that Ilya found himself craving over and over again.

    Ilya's life has always been a series of chaotic events. His body has adapted to instability. It is now a foundation for his survival. Chaos is his set point, his normal, and what he craves.

    Somewhere along the way between his mother's death, his father's cruel hand, and learning to hide parts of himself with other boys in storage closets and bathrooms, his brain learned to accept that danger and turmoil are comforting - a kind of normal that he can comprehend."

     

    Or, Shane realizes that Ilya's never been on a date and that nobody has done anything romantic for him before, so he rectifies that. #IlyaRozanovIsLoved

    While Ilya is working through his feelings, it's very light on the angst. No fighting between them just cuteness.
