    Summary

    Team management e-mails him early in the afternoon, but it’s just after helping Jackie feed Ruby and Jade dinner, when Hayden has the chance to go to the bedroom and sit against the bed headboard, that he manages to see and read it. The language is polite but friendly, and the person writing it actually identifies herself as the lady from the team’s media relationship, Nathaly, which immediately makes the exchange feel more real. She calls Hayden by his first name too, which also helps. Hayden has read some official communication before, but they addressed the team as a whole, so he knows this is different. Nathaly is talking to him to know if there’s any way he might billet for next season.

    ***

    Alternate universe where Hayden was drafted two seasons before Shane and is three years older than him. He's not quite a veteran, but, somehow, he still gets picked by the Metros to house hockey's second coming of christ, Shane Hollander, during his rookie season. Shane never really leaves.

    Summary

    In 2007, 16-year-old Ilya Rozanov travels to Ottawa to win gold. Again.

    Canada hasn’t forgiven him after the Junior Olympics. Shane Hollander least of all.

    When Ilya is assigned to billet with the Hollanders for the World Championships, the rivalry moves from the ice to the dinner table. But beneath the bruises, the pressure, and the weight of two nations, something far more dangerous begins to grow.

    Summary

    Later, he’ll blame it all on a momentary lapse of judgement.

    He’ll blame it on the loneliness maybe—on the fact that, despite never having been physically closer to Shane this consistently in his entire life—that despite regularly getting dinner with Shane’s parents—that despite finally having found what he’d spend his entire life searching for he’s also, somehow, never felt more alone.

    He’ll blame it on Cliff not texting him back since he’d signed with Ottawa. He’ll blame it on Sveta, face pulled into a perpetual frown during every facetime call.

    Or maybe he’ll blame it on Anya—sweet, beautiful Anya—who’d been just a little too cute not to share.

    Summary

    When he was seven years old, Shane Hollander was briefly lost at an airport. Luckily, the kindness of a stranger ensured he made it back to his parents safely, putting an end to a terrifying three hours for the Hollanders. It takes twenty years (and one heated rivalry) for Shane to learn the name of his rescuer. It takes twenty years for Ilya to learn his wish had already come true.

    Summary

    ”You love that I am boring,” Shane quips and it comes out more confidently than he expects it to.

    “Yes,” Ilya agrees. “I tell you this all the time.”

    “You do?”

    “Da.”

    “I can’t remember you ever saying anything like that to me,” Shane muses honestly and even though he himself is uninjured, Ilya winces slightly.

    “Well, I do now. Tell you I love your boring. Tell you I love you.”

    “What changed?”

    or

    After an injury on the ice, Shane cannot remember the last ten years of his life with Ilya. Ilya resolves to help.
