    Summary

    Shane invites Ilya to his lakeside cottage for two quiet weeks in the off-season.

    It’s supposed to be uncomplicated. No teams, no press, no pretending.

    Instead, it turns into slow mornings, shared meals, negotiated control, and the kind of closeness that’s a lot harder to walk away from than either of them expected.

    Summary

    Ilya asked Shane’s father while Shane and his mother were talking outside: “Is boyfriends correct? Lovers is incorrect, but I am not sure what is correct.”

    “Well,” Mr. Hollander said. “‘Lovers’ is usually used for, hm, a mistress or an affair. Something kind of sordid. Though--you would say Romeo and Juliet is a play about two lovers,” he said. He paused his knife on the chopping board. “Somehow that’s right and using it for real people isn’t right. English is a damn funny language, Ilya."

    “Yes,” Ilya said from the bottom of his heart.

    Summary

    “Hello?” comes the smallest voice Ilya’s ever heard.
    “Alina?”
    “Uncle Ilya.” She sniffles over the line.
    “Alya, what’s going on?” He is trying desperately to keep his tone steady.
    “Dad, he um…he found out.” Fuck.
    “Found what out?” He asks, even though he already knows the answer.

    Summary

    From the moment eight-year-old Shane crossed out the wrong letter on that first Valentine's card and slipped it into Ilya's cubby along with his favorite teddy bear, he started something he couldn't quite name. Year after year, he kept giving, and Ilya kept showing up, through childhood, through hockey, through all the messy years of growing up. Neither of them ever said what they were really thinking, but maybe they didn't need to. A Childhood Friends to Lovers story about how love can be completely obvious even when you're completely oblivious to it.

    **This story starts when they are young, but their romantic relationship develops when they are older.
