Summary
Five Conversations Yuna has with Ilya, and one conversation she has with Shane. Ch. 6: Back at the cottage.
Yuna had made checklists and organized budgets and shook coaches’ hands and learned how to negotiate and delegate and advocate, all in service of protecting and preserving Shane and this precious, enormous gift. There were a million ways for his journey to go wrong, and only one way for it to go right. She was competent, she was capable, she’d done everything right, everything by the book — and twenty years later, she feels like she didn’t rise to the moments that truly mattered. She mentored the career, at times, she did not mother the boy.
And yet Shane, a marvelous miracle all his own, had figured out those lessons anyways.

Summary
Shane Hollander is just trying to survive—NYU biochemistry, hockey practice, and the graveyard shift at a Manhattan 7-Eleven. He's too tired to notice that his new regular customer is clearly Russian mafia, or that Ilya's interest in him goes beyond terrible coffee.
When Ilya gives him a $10k scarf and gloves, Shane sells them for rent money. Any normal person would be terrified. Ilya is fascinated.

Summary
Today was a long day, from the love confessions to Shane's dad catching them kissing, to the conversation. Both Ilya and Shane were exhausted, physically and emotionally, but not in a bad way. They were both happy that the raven-haired man's parents were so quick to support their relationship fully.
It was honestly a huge relief, but there was one thing stuck in Ilya's mind: why didn't Shane find someone else, someone easier, someone better?

But whose girlfriend is hotter? by noraster

Summary
“Yeah, I know about Jane,” Hollander said, with a murderous glance at Ilya. “But I’m surprised to hear Rozanov *talking* about Jane.”
“He hasn’t told us much,” Harris said. “Just that she’s beautiful, rich and talented.”
“And a freak in the sheets,” Ilya said, solemnly. “You cannot leave out the freak in the sheets.”
_____
Ilya Rozanov is in a very good mood at the All-Stars weekend, when Marlow starts ragging on him about his mysterious Montreal girl, Jane. The Centaurs, of course, have never heard of her.
Ilya starts praising Jane to the moon and back ... just in time for Shane Hollander and his Voyageurs teammates to stroll up.
Hayden Pike nearly has a heart attack. J.J. laughs and points out that Shane has a mysterious girlfriend, too. And Shane, to Ilya's surprise, leans right in. Even when Marlow asks ... well, whose secret girlfriend is hotter?
(Hypothetically set after the All-Stars Game during Book Six/The Long Game, but I didn't make an effort to match the canonical events at the game. No real spoilers for the Long Game, I think?)
