    Summary

    Shane really isn't looking for a relationship, which is why having Ilya around is nice. No strings attached, only great sex. It's a win all around.

    The only problem is that Ilya is way, way too nice to Shane's stupid cat.

    Summary

    No serious hockey fan or sports commentator worth their salt would have considered record-breaking Boston superstar Ilya Rozanov to be Shane Hollander’s rival exactly, but sleeping with a man who had a specific offense-related vendetta against him and a wrist shot like a jet engine to back it up was probably ill-advised just the same.

    Or, Shane is a goalie. Ilya can’t score.

    Summary

    Ilya’s hands find his phone, another extension of himself that he doesn’t need to think about. He clicks the lock button, a picture of him and Shane from the wedding flashing across the screen. Shane looks radiant, smiling one of those rare, blinding things that Ilya wants to capture. He wishes he were an artist, he becomes compelled by the need to capture that particular smile. But it’s not got his full attention, not today. Today, he focuses on the date at the top of his screen.

    Twenty years. Twenty years since his mother died. Twenty years without her. Two decades since his heart was cleaved in two. Two decades since he cradled her lifeless hand in his and promised someone, anyone, he’d be a good boy, a better son, he’d give his own heart and soul and life if he could have five more minutes with her. Two decades since Ilya, the sweet, soft boy who loved to ride his bike and draw and sing off key as he helped his mother cook, ceased to exist. Twenty years of not knowing how to breathe around this crushing grief sitting on his chest.

    Or: It's been twenty years since Ilya's mother died. Shane holds him through the storm.

    Summary

    Shane is silent for so long that Rozanov leans, slouching against the doorframe, and raises his eyebrows at him expectantly. “Yes? You are selling bibles?”
    “You fucked my girlfriend.” It tears out of him.
    “Ah,” Rozanov drawls, as if the thought is just now occurring to him, “yes. I did.”
