    Summary

    “If it ever gets bad,” he’d said quietly, eyes serious in a way that made Ilya’s chest ache, “you call me. Or you call my parents. You don’t get to drown by yourself anymore. They love you. I love you and that’s not conditional.”

    Ilya had brushed it off at first. He always did. “I am not drowning.”

    Shane had just tilted his head. “Promise me anyway.”

    And because it was Shane, because the word promise meant something sacred to him, Ilya had nodded.

    “I promise.”

    Summary

    Ilya’s voice was trembling, a shake deep within him, and it made Shane’s heart break into a million pieces. The fact that he was struggling through something, and the language barrier was only making it worse, made him even more determined in learning Russian.

    “I don’t want to prove myself to the people who love you. It’s—It hurts when they see you, then look me like I don’t deserve you.”

     

    Shane makes a promise to Ilya, and it changes everything.

    Summary

    With every part of him, Ilya had bewitched Shane; the chirping, the aggressive way he played, skating circles around everyone else but Shane, the incandescent way he seemed to glow with the reflection of the ice beneath their skates; everything about him made him weak, and at the same time, it made him stronger.

    Maybe that’s why, when everything settled between them, Shane started to settle too; his personality becoming more true to himself, more snippy, more petty. And most importantly, more protective of what was his.

    Summary

    Hockey is a rough sport. Everyone knows that. You go down, you get back up. That’s the game. When Ilya Rozanov goes down on the ice, the Boston Bears are already moving to defend their captain. No one expects Shane Hollander, captain of the Montreal Voyageurs, to be the one who throws the first punch.

    Or: the Boston Bears figure out Ilya and Shane’s relationship first—and decide that instead of letting their captain move to fucking Ottawa, they’ll just kidnap his boyfriend instead. Shane Hollander would make a better Bear anyway.
