    Summary

    Shane claps Ilya on the shoulder, an unabashed grin splitting his face. “Don’t take it so hard, buddy, it’s only the pre-season,” he says easily, the same way he’d try to reassure a wide-eyed rookie, but tinged with playfulness.

    He expects a quip and maybe a shove from Ilya, but instead, Ilya’s expression loosens, surprise flickering in his eyes. He seems…far away, all of a sudden. But the sharpness returns in almost an instant, making Shane wonder if he’d imagined it. The expected shove comes, causing Shane’s grin to creep back.

    “I am not your buddy, Hollander,” says Ilya.

    In Shane’s teasing, he accidentally brushes against something that neither he nor Ilya can quite put words to.

    Summary

    Heartbreak and hockey don't mix.

    Boston's Ilya Rozanov decides to do what he'd been putting off for years. He calls off his affair with Shane Hollander, Montreal extraordinaire, right before a Montreal vs Boston game. He gets a hockey puck shot right into his hamstring for it. Right in the middle of the game. Honestly, he never guessed Hollander had it in him to be vindictive.

    As for Shane...it works. He didn’t want to see Rozanov anymore. In this game. In this season. And now Ilya’s out. Ball and chained to healing and recovery, pain meds and physical therapy for the next year. Maybe when Rozanov comes back, Shane will be able to stomach breathing the same air as him again.

    And Rozanov will be back. That much is guaranteed. Shane just fails to measure how back Ilya Rozanov will be. If he thought Rozanov was a nightmare on the ice before his injury, he’s got a reckoning coming.

    Summary

    Shane swipes out of a few notifications from the ESPN app, all clickbait about Scott Hunter’s speech at the NHL awards. He can’t deal with those right now, his brain is not online. Then he sees the Snapchat notification, from Ilya.

    Shane puts his phone down and blinks a few times. He picks it up and checks the display again. The notification is still there.

    He hasn’t gotten a Snap from Ilya since the end of the season back in April, after they crashed out of the Frozen Four without making it to the final. Shane saw him a few times after that, at team meetings and at the annual sports awards dinner, but he’s pretty sure Ilya left campus before the end of the semester. Shane wasn’t expecting anything from him until the fall, when he’s back at school.

    He rubs his eyes and rolls onto his side, swiping the app open. It’s a video.

    or, the boys are in college, featuring self discovery, russian diminutives, and (to ilya's chagrin) the scott hunter of it all.
