    Summary

    Ilya never made it to the cottage.

    Ilya Rozanov spent nine years in exile, convincing himself that disappearing was an act of protection. But when he returns to the NHL and signs with the Ottawa Centaurs, the team led by Shane Hollander, his former rival and secret love, he learns that distance has changed nothing. Their bodies still remembers. The air between them still crackles.

    Shane Hollander has built a life of careful normalcy: a captain's role, a dog named Anya, the performance of a man who doesn't need anything from anyone. But Ilya's return unmakes all of it in a single moment of eye contact.

    As proximity forces them closer to the truth they've been avoiding, Ilya and Shane has to finally confront the question that has haunted them both for years: Was the silence ever protection, or only destruction in disguise?

    Summary

    Ilya thought Shane would grow up and move on.
    Shane spent years proving him wrong.

     

    Shane was always the boy Ilya protected—the child with freckles who followed him everywhere, the one who believed every promise Ilya made. But when Ilya leaves for college, Shane is left behind with nothing but memories, unanswered feelings, and the fear that the one person who promised to stay has finally moved on.

    What starts as love slowly becomes an obsession. Shane clings to the past, to the promises, and to the idea that Ilya has always belonged with him. Because for Shane, letting go was never an option.

    Summary

    Ilya let himself soften into it. He’d missed this, the simple camaraderie between teammates. He did feel lonely, but in some ways he felt safer with this team, and Shane had given him that, it was because of Shane that he moved to Ottawa. All the good things in his life curved back to Shane. Looking around, he tried to imagine him here, not Shane Hollander the hockey player, but his Shane, the man who made the darkest rooms feel like home. He felt suddenly certain that they would welcome him with love and respect. And, God help him, he was still hoping like an idiot that Shane would walk through the door.

    Ilya tightened his grip on his roasting stick, jaw set, trying to divert his thoughts back to the present, when a ripple went through the group. Conversation dipped, then stopped completely.

    “Um… what the fuck,” Dillon muttered, eyes flicking toward the house. “Is that Shane Hollander?”

    Or Shane decides to go get his man after seeing Ilya’s instagram post in Chap.23 of TLG.

    Summary

    *** EDITED SUMMARY ***

    After their first time in Montreal, Ilya ghosts Shane for over a year, keeping himself at a distance long after Sochi. No reason, no discussion, just done. But when an MLH Awards forces them to present together, Ilya can't ignore Shane any longer and Shane won't let him. In a heated moment, they make a bet, whoever wins MVP gets whatever they want. What starts out exciting turns confusing when Shane wakes up hungover with a ring on his finger and Ilya nowhere to be found. He was ghosted again… by his husband? Maybe?

    Or: Ilya and Shane have a wild night in Vegas after time apart that is unforgettable to one and piecemealed together for the other. It should be easy to talk about but misunderstandings and misalignments add more space between them than ever before. There are two sides to every story, but it's about time they get on the same page.

    Summary

    Shane has never questioned how much Ilya loves him.

    What he questions is whether Ilya understands what love asks of him.

    After months of thoughtless habits, crossed boundaries, and conversations left unfinished, the cracks in their long-distance relationship become impossible to ignore. Neither of them wants to lose what they've built. Neither of them really knows how to stop hurting the other.

    A story about emotional intimacy, learning to communicate, and discovering that love isn't just something you feel. It's something you practice.
