    Summary

    A few years have passed since Shane officially became a centaur, and he and Ilya tied the knot. For the boys, life is good, the sex is even better, not having to hide their secret or pretend to be rivals constantly competing against each other to be viewed as the best, but the day-to-day is starting to become mundane, and stolen kisses in between periods can only make things so exciting.

    Summary

    “You’ll text when you land, right?” Shane asks as he takes an exit ramp labeled Airport Departures.

    “Yes. Promise.”

    “And you’ll call tonight?” Shane’s throat works over the words, like he still doesn’t trust this new thing between them. Ilya thinks he understands. He also doesn’t know how to trust this love. How can he when it has been trapped in his own heart so long. Neither of them know what the next year will bring. There is so much time before Ilya can have his agent, or his future agent, he will need a new one with no connections to Russia, reach out to Ottawa and hope that they’ll be interested in a future Hall of Fame center. The one thing Ilya is certain of is that he will do everything in his power to make their plan work. He spent his entire adult life lusting after, and then pining for Shane with his whole heart.

    “I will call.” Ilya reaches for the hand Shane has left on the gearshift and threads his fingers through his. He wants to say so much, but he has always been better with touch than words, especially when the only shared language was English. “We will talk every day.”

    Or, There is a year before Ilya can sign with Ottawa, Shane counts down the days until their forever.

    Summary

    Their waitress is kind enough to let Shane practice his clumsy Spanish with her. He pointedly does not look at Ilya after ordering, but he's known him long enough to know when he's laughing at Shane's expense.

    “I hate you,” he says.

    “No,” Ilya says. He looks unfairly handsome in a linen beach shirt and his flamingo-patterned board shorts Shane bought him last summer. “You do not.”

    Summary

    Mac burns hotter than any cigarette, any heady drink of whiskey, anything Dennis has ever encountered. Dennis hates him more and more with each passing minute. And the hate alone is enough to provide a gloriously glaring contradiction—
    almost like feeling. Real feeling. Something ugly and true that chips away at Dennis’ porcelain facade.

     

    Or: Mac and Dennis deal with the aftermath & consequences of Johnny as we take a look back through the most defining moments of their relationship in non-chronological order.
