    Summary

    “Sometimes I think she sent me you,” Ilya whispers—so quietly Shane may have missed it, were they not so close, sharing the same breath back and forth, parted lips brushing.

    “I love you so much, I think it has to be for two people,” Shane admits, just as quietly. Three, is what he doesn’t say. I love you for the father and brother you deserved, too. I love you with all the love you deserve; with all the love you have deserved from the day you were born, until now, and until the day you are dust, and beyond, which is infinite.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander has been making deals with Ilya Rozanov for as long as he can remember. Usually it's Ilya that comes up with the propositions, and usually they're bets that Shane is doomed to lose. Tonight is different. Maybe it's the reassurance that this thing between them is real that makes Shane bold. They're boyfriends, after all. Or maybe it's that stubborn shadow of anxiety, fear of being found out. Either way, Shane has a deal for Ilya.

    Or:

    Shane asks Ilya to flirt with other people, as part of an ill-planned deal, and discovers can't handle the jealousy.

    Summary

    “Shane,” Hayden says, voice tight. 

    At once, the hairs on Shane’s arms stand to attention. He sits up, bracing himself. 

    “What’s happening?” 

    “You’re getting married to Rose Landry.” 

    Shane chokes. “What?” 

    Or: news breaks that Shane Hollander is getting married to Hayden Pike, and then, improbably, to Rose Landry. The only problem? He isn’t.

    Summary

    He doesn’t remember any part of that night that didn’t involve Shane. He doesn’t remember the woman’s name, or what she looked like, or even why he didn’t go home with her. All of that was insignificant, a blur that faded into nothingness.

    He only remembers Shane, and then the absence of him.

    (They finally talk about what happened at the club.)

    Summary

    It kind of looks like junk, at first. Just a random collection of items, like the lost property box at the arena for things the cleaners find after games. But Shane quickly realises that the collection isn’t random at all.

    No, this is a box of memories.

    Ilya’s memories of Shane.
