    Summary

    "You will bend for me many times, I think, before this production is over."

    Shane means to say no. He means to tell Ilya Rozanov—arrogant Bolshoi principal dancer and professional pain in his ass—to fuck off and stop moving set pieces without permission. Instead, he ends up on his knees in a dressing room, which is definitely not how the Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s stage manager is supposed to handle conflict resolution.

    Three weeks until opening night. One impossible rivalry. And absolutely no way this ends well.

    or: Ilya comes to Winnipeg for The Nutcracker. Shane tries very hard to hate him. The mindblowing hate-sex doesn’t help.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is good at his job. He's a confident dancer at a club that's gotten more dangerous since Ilya Rozanov bought it three months ago—but Shane doesn't mind the edge. What he doesn't notice is that his new boss is absolutely fixated on him.

    Ilya tries everything to get close: coffee, conversation, carefully chosen gifts. Shane thinks he's just a really attentive employer. It takes threats, violence, and Hayden literally spelling it out before Shane realizes Ilya wants more than just a professional relationship.

    Summary

    As she watched Rozanov skate half circles around Shane's unconscious body, Jackie Pike felt her heart race. Her body understood what her brain was struggling to make sense of. A few moments later, she realized that she recognized Rozanov's expression. She'd witnessed it on the faces of other WAGs when their men went down hard and had worn it herself a few times. It was the physical manifestation of her recurring nightmare - seeing Hayden hurt and thinking she was about to lose the love of her life. Nothing else existed but that figure lying motionless on the ice.

    This was exactly how Rozanov looked at Shane now, and the only possible explanation was love.

    Or,

    A 5 + 1 story about five people who watch the relationship between Shane and Ilya unfold in real time and come to their own conclusions about what's going on.

    Plus, a bonus chapter featuring the family dinner that Shane’s parents invite themselves to right after meeting Ilya for the first time.

    Summary

    “It was cruel,” Ilya murmurs, brushing the saltwater from Shane’s freckles with a careful thumb. “I was cruel. To both of us. And I’m sorry.”

    Shane breathes with him for a moment, both of them trying to pull themselves together, before he grumbles, “I don’t even remember why I brought that up.”

    “Because you want to be annoying in bed until I slap you,” Ilya reminds him patiently.

    “Oh. Right.”

    [Or: Shane and Ilya are very, very compatible.]

    Summary

    Ilya in 2014 had no idea his time with Hollander was so limited — something that Ilya in 2016 knows all too well.

    Ilya in 2016 is also playing hockey like shit. The version of himself on the television misses an easy shot, and the commentators tear him apart for it. Ilya, watching from his bed, is inclined to agree with them. His father’s decline is almost a blessing this month, when his usual level of vitriol would be for once so entirely deserved.

    He’s thinking about all of this, beer in hand, when there’s a knock on his door.
