    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

    Six months ago, Shane’s intimate conversation and break-up with Rose Landry was recorded and leaked. In those six months, his life had completely upended and everything had changed, for better or for worse. Except for Ilya. He still has Ilya, and he’s beginning to understand that he always will.

    It’s 2018. Shane Hollander has to figure out his new life, in a new city, on a new team, while being out to the world but not by his own choice. Ilya, along for the ride, also has to learn what it means to be connected to a place, to a person, and to his own inner truth.

    (Sequel to “something you can fix,” set post-Heated Rivalry, pre-The Long Game)

    Summary

    Ilya waited until he was in his car, alone and in silence, before he took his phone out of his pocket. 5 missed calls from Jane, and one unread text.

    Call me as soon as you see this.

    Shane picked up on the second ring. “Ilya.”

    “Shane. What’s-”

    “My dad’s in the hospital.”

     

    David Hollander gets in a car accident while Shane and Yuna are travelling. Ilya, newly traded to Ottawa, is the only one available.

    He handles it pretty well. Until he doesn't.

    Summary

    Adriana doesn’t tell their parents that she’s going to LA. She doesn’t tell Eddie, either—or ask, for that matter.

    She does ask Chris, and he thinks it’s a good idea—says as much, on the phone, and doesn’t say much else.

    “Buck will probably be hovering,” is what Chris does volunteer.

    It still surprises her when the man who opens the door is not Eddie. It’s—Captain America, is the thing that actually comes to mind—a man close to a foot taller than she is, if not more than that, with blond curls and broad shoulders, and he’s got a question in his very blue eyes that’s probably less friendly than the one he actually asks her.

    “Uh,” he says. “Can I help you?”

    Or: Adriana arrives in LA. Maddie has been here the whole time.
