Summary
The Swiss National League doesn’t care about the legendary Hollander-Rozanov rivalry. When the MLH can’t negotiate with the Hockey Players’ Union in time to prevent a hockey lockout at the start of the 2015 season, the Zürich Lions jump at the chance to sign both Shane and Ilya to short-term contracts. For four months in Switzerland, they share a team, a line, a house, and a bed.
Then the lockout ends in January, and it’s time to go back. Back to different countries, cities, lives. Beds.
Reentry is harder than expected.

Bookmarker's Notes
Maybe Shane should have left a list for the new tenant. Maybe he should have taken a few minutes and written out all of the things they’d need to know to live there. Things like: the doorknob is weird, you have to lift and twist it to lock it. And: don’t use the salad bowl for food, someone vomited in it a few months ago. We kept forgetting to get a new one. And: the dishwasher works, but it goes faster if you have two people in the kitchen—one to wash and one to dry.
And, of course: the bedroom on the east side (red duvet) is drafty. The sun is too bright and sudden when it hits the pillow. There’s a smell in the closet there you can’t get rid of. It looks over the main thoroughfare, so it’s very noisy. All of these excuses will work if you need to figure out a way to worm yourself into the other bedroom on the west side (green duvet). Eventually, maybe, the other occupant will stop asking and you’ll just be able to crawl into his arms with no clothing or pretense between you.
Maybe he should have sat down and written about all the small things there were to love there, too. Just to cover all his bases. Sit out on the balcony in the morning when it’s sunny. Cold as fuck and it smells like cigarettes, but it’s sort of beautiful to watch people you don’t know walk by below. The place is good for a party, but not for a very big one. Can fit fifteen to twenty hockey players maximum. If you put one of those bottle-green vases on the little table next to the armchair in the living room, the sun hits it about two in the afternoon at just the right angle to dilute the color across the floor. It’s the perfect match for Ilya Rozanov’s eyes—it’ll probably take you a few months to realize, but it’ll be your favorite color by the end of the first week.
.................................
“I think,” Jonas says, his English slow and heavy beneath the weight of his Swiss-German accent. “If you can stop hating someone and then start again and then stop again, it is not hate at all. Maybe it is just that you have been told you hate them.”
Ilya blinks and opens his mouth, but he doesn’t have anything to say. Suddenly, his mouth has run dry and his tongue feels like it’s been carved from stone.
Jonas shrugs and stands up with a tiny stretch. “Real hatred, I am not so sure it can be turned on and off, depending on who is watching. It is like love in that regard, I think.”

Summary
“Mm, not stuff his pockets with the drug everyone thinks makes you gay right before a press conference? Maybe!” Ilya’s voice chimed happily from the phone.
“You wanna tell us why you’re so acquainted with Rush that you can identify it in 780p, Ilya?” Kip asked.
“…I have so much leather to deodorize, Kip Grady. So many sports cars, you know.”
--
Kip can't believe no one else can tell how outrageously gay Ilya Rozanov is, but he's not complaining, he's happy to have someone else to talk to at all the hockey functions.
Or: Perfect gaydar haver Ilya Rozanov finally gets a taste of his own medicine. A series of looks into Kip and Ilya's friendship, starting after the cottage.

Summary
No one is going to win a Pulitzer interviewing him, and Shane is okay with that. He spends most interviews rephrasing the same five sentiments--I’m happy we won or We need to work harder after that loss.
They are a good team; the win was hard fought or They are a good team; there is a lot for us to take away.
And finally: I love playing on this team, for our fans.
Then Ilya Rozanov bursts into his life, and answering questions becomes a little more complicated.
or: Shane Hollander, interviewee, throughout the years.
