    Summary

    Regina to Edmonton was nine hours by bus if the weather was decent; it took a bit longer if — for example — your bus lost power on Highway 11 just past Dundurn, Saskatchewan.

    Team buses, night drives, and one way things might have started differently.

    Summary

    “Okay, so listen,” Eddie goes on, wants to keep her feeling easy so maybe he can keep her smiling. “You’ve never done this before. You know what shotgunning is?”
     
    She nods.

    “You cool with that? So you can get your sea legs, y’know?” He twirls the joint back and forth between his fingers, sunlight catching in his rings. “This stuff’s kiiiiinda rank.”

    Her nose wrinkles. Cute as hell, honestly. “Yeah, I can smell it from here.”

    “First-timer.” Eddie winks, makes her laugh again. “Alright, get over here, come on.”

    (Chrissy needs to take the edge off. Eddie’s got what she’s looking for and then some.)

    Summary

    Ilya wanted so badly to just tell Svetlana: It’s Shane Hollander, it’s always been Shane Hollander. He wanted to invite her over after the game so he'd know it was possible for her and Shane to exist in the same room without the world collapsing.

    He was calling Shane back before he even thought about it, his heart in his throat. 

    “Ilya?”

    “Can I invite Svetlana?"

    He could never have expected what happened next.

    Or: Only a few months after the cottage, Shane meets Svetlana—and goes to great lengths to defeat his jealousy.

    Summary

    "You ARE a pervert."

    "Yes, but I am Shane's pervert. Is different."

    "That's not the defense you think it is."

    "And when we—" Ilya stopped himself, grinned. "Is probably too much information, yes?"

    "WAY too much information."

    Ilya delivers a TED Talk titled "Shane Hollander 101" and Hayden is the unwilling audience.
