Yuna was a dedicated Metros fan her entire life, and more importantly, a dedicated mother to Shane. Metros fans will remember her animated reactions to goals by 24 and her frank analysis of the Metros' performance in the 2015 Gathorne-Hardy Cup finals. The Metros organization want to extend our condolences to Shane, his father David, and the entire Hollander family."

    Summary

    Here are some facts:

    Six months ago, Ilya and Shane sat on Ilyas’ couch, in Boston, and said, we want to be more, even if it has to be in secret.

    Four months ago, Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander bought new houses. If asked, they would both say it was a complete coincidence. They were not asked, because most people do not browse Zillow for fun in their free time (Shane-) and the real estate of hockey players was of very limited interest to even the most hardcore fan.

    Two hours ago, Shane Hollander was bleeding out on the ice.

    Yuna and David Hollander were at least three hours away, at the exact moment their son hit the ice. Yuna Hollander is a perceptive woman. If she enters the house, she will know her son does not live alone.

    Here is the most important fact Ilya knows right now: Shane would not want to come out to his parents like this.

    Ilya has one hour to wipe his existence from his boyfriends’ house.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander keeps telling himself he's going to end this fucked up thing with Ilya Rozanov. They've been sleeping together for years, endangering both of their careers. It's time to stop. It should be easy, right? It's just meaningless sex. And Rozanov has meaningless sex with countless women—that's why he's so good at it. Practice.

    Maybe that's all Shane needs. More practice. And if he practices enough, with enough women, maybe he'll find the right one and finally be the person he's expected to be. Maybe then he really won't need Rozanov anymore.

    Not that he needs him now. It's just meaningless sex.

    Right?

    Summary

    The picturesque village of Buell, Maine is one of the last in the United States to continue the tradition of the “harvest” or “prosperity” lottery. Its residents insist the lottery makes them stronger, even as condemnation from outsiders grows.

    Summary

    It’s strange. He went down hard, but nothing hurts. That might be very bad, if he can’t feel anything at all. But it’s not that. He can feel things, but they just don’t feel right. Maybe they already have him up on the stretcher, because he’s lying on something soft, not the cold ice he’d crumpled onto when he fell. He’s never felt a stretcher quite like this before, though.

    “Ilya!”

    There it is again. But now it’s louder. Almost unmistakably Shane.

    Blinking against sunlight, Ilya opens his eyes, and stares up at the brilliant blue sky.

    --

    After a bad hit during a game in 2016, Ilya wakes up at Shane Hollander's cottage in 2023. Finding out he has a dog, plays for Ottawa, and is married to Shane in quick succession, confronting the existence of time travel becomes the least of his worries.
