    Summary

    For two years, Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander try to learn the choreography of loving someone whose life mirrors and opposes your own. Both are trapped in opposing coasts, opposing schedules, opposing worlds that occasionally kiss for a night and then vanish again.

    So they build a bridge the only way they know: through words.

    What begins as one shy text after a road game turns into a ritual. Then into letters. Then into private notes left in luggage, scribbled on hotel stationery, tucked behind mirrors, written on the backs of receipts. Their relationship lives inside these fragments — confessions hidden between flights, apologies drafted at 3 a.m., gentle teasing, unguarded longing, and the slow, beautiful terror of falling for someone who used to be your rival.

    Summary

    Jack thought his first year in the NHL would be 100% about hockey, but the reality is so much more complicated. (AU where the Goodbye for the Summer comics didn’t happen, because I had already written 80K words of this. But just because it’s canon doesn’t mean we can’t still enjoy long, angsty, get-together stories, amirite?)
