Summary
He wasn’t ready for this.
Maybe he never would have been, not in two, or five, or ten years. Maybe he would have spent the rest of his life holding this secret inside, not telling a single soul about the way his heart beats for his biggest rival. Or maybe, in a year or ten or once he’s retired, he might have come out publicly. Might have shared his truth with the world.
But that was supposed to be his choice. To tell or not to tell, to hide in the shade or step out into the sunshine. It was supposed to be his decision, and now it’s been taken from him.

Summary
“Olesya.”
“Oh-lee-syah,” Shane repeated slowly, making sure he pronounced it right. “What… what are you going to do?”
“I don’t know,” Ilya said, resting his head in his hand. “I don’t fucking know.”
Shane’s voice was steady. “What can I do?”
How long had it been since someone offered to help Ilya? He took care of his family, carried his brother’s financial burdens, tended his own injuries, paid his way through life without aid. The question, softly spoken and rich with genuine intent, was enough to bring tears to his eyes. Could he really trust it? Could he ask someone for help?
For once, he wanted to try.OR: Ilya is left with sudden custody of Alexei's daughter and calls Shane to help.
(Set just before the cottage.)

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
There are lots of things his parents don’t understand. Like the fact that Shane’s had nearly a decade long relationship or the fact that he kept it hidden from them or why Shane has decided to have all of those things with someone like Ilya Rozanov. He can’t possibly explain it all in a way that would make them understand it, how deep it goes, how vast it is, how much more he wants to look forward to. It’s a language really, after all this time, only he and Ilya could be fluent in.
But when the rest of the world goes hazy and Ilya’s hand settles on the back of his neck right there at the dinner table, when he kisses the breath back into Shane’s lungs, when he tips his head sideways to knock it lovingly against Shane’s right here and on purpose—it’s universal. It needs no translation. You and me—we’re on the same team.

or; Shane and Ilya's relationship through the lens of small gestures, both private and public.
