    Summary

    Hayden ran up, grabbed his hand and said in his dad-of-a-kid-having-a-meltdown voice “Hey, hey, it’s going to be okay Shane. They’re going to take good care of you. That appendix is going to come right out and you’ll be back in no time.”

    Shane’s teary eyes widened and then narrowed.

    “What?” he gasped out between shallow breaths.

    “Fuckin' hell, I told him not to say that.” the doctor muttered.

    “What do you mean? It’s not his appendix? What’s going on?”

    “Hollander is in labor and the baby is coming very soon, so Pike please let the EMT’s load him up. He’s going to Montreal General. We called his parents and they’re on their way.”

    ______________________________

    Shane Hollander had been under a lot of stress lately, coming out to his team, supporting his secret boyfriend, ect. So something may have slipped through the cracks and was now going to make itself known right here on the ice of this Ottawa vs. Montreal game.

    Summary

    For years, Ilya and Shane have kept what they are to each other carefully hidden. The stolen moments in hotel rooms and late-night phone calls. Rivals don’t love each other, everyone knows that.

    Then Shane hits the ice and Ilya has to decide how much he's willing to say out loud.

    He chooses to say everything. He just doesn't expect Shane to have been able to understand.

    In the aftermath, the secret is out to their teammates, to Shane's parents, to anyone paying attention. They are the MLH’s most recognised rivals, on opposite sides of one of the league's biggest divides and suddenly there’s nowhere left to hide. The question now isn't whether they love each other. It's whether they're brave enough to see what that looks like in the light, and whether the world around them is ready to let them find out.

    Summary

    After months of being ghosted by Ilya, Shane gets horrible news about his health. At the age of 23 he gets diagnosed with Stage 4 Hodgkin's Lymphoma. He is supported by his friends and family and yet he cannot stop thinking of his rival. But he and Ilya have never been more disconnected, so he resigns himself to fighting this without Ilya in his life.

    Ilya knows he was an asshole last Spring. Shane has been ignoring him all summer. But he figures that once he's back in North America and the season starts, he'll be able to get back in Shane's good graces. And then Montreal announces that they have placed Shane Hollander on Long Term Injured Reserve and he panics.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander was supposed to go pro.

    Instead, he got an injury that ended his career before it even started and a life that’s been quietly built around not thinking too hard about it.

    Ilya Rozanov did go pro.

    Which makes it particularly unfortunate that they’ve just woken up in each other’s bodies hours before a game.

    Even worse, Shane is now expected to play in front of thousands of people using a body he's only ever seen on phone screens or TVs, all while trying to stave off an impending mental breakdown and come to terms with a version of Ilya Rozanov that's much different than his public persona.
