    Summary

    He knew that Shane was more than a hookup to him, but he wasn’t about to admit that—even to himself. Shane was the poster good boy of the league, polite as ever off the ice, perfect beyond measure in his advertisements and speeches, and a really, really good hockey player. There would be nothing good that would come from them venturing past fucking in hotel rooms. So why was he so upset?

    Summary

    “I can still beat you in a race, Hollander.”

    “Yeah, yeah. If your knees don’t give out on you first,” Shane retorts with a wave of his hand.

    “Maybe I shouldn’t spend so much time on them, then…” Ilya suggests, wiggling his eyebrows up and down as he glances at Shane’s crotch.

    His husband laughs again, ruffling his hand through Ilya’s hair as he says, “Down boy.”

    Summary

    “It’s silly,” Shane murmurs, as the heat from the water slowly starts to turn lukewarm. Ilya is still warm against him, and that’s really all he needs. “How much I'm looking forward to waking up next to you.” He presses his mouth against the hollow of Ilya's neck, nuzzling in closer. “And we get tomorrow.”

    “Da,” Ilya whispers. “We get tomorrow.”

    What a world to live in, Shane thinks, his grip turning greedy, his fingers squeezing. To have tomorrow. To know that he's going to wake up in Ilya's arms.

    They'll have breakfast together.

    It's the middle of the season and they live hundreds of kilometers apart, and somehow, some way, they're making this work.

    What a fucking miracle.

    OR: Shane & Ilya get a moment to breathe in the final Boston year.

    Summary

    Leaning over Shane was a man. He had dark hair and was annoyingly handsome, the sort who looked like he’d never struggled with a grammatical case in his life.

    Shane laughed. Ilya turned his head.

    That was his husband. His Shane. His wonderfully serious, beautifully focused Shane, with the scattered freckles and the careful mouth and the adorable way he leaned into a problem. And he was gifting that hard-won laugh to a stranger.

    “I can supervise,” Ilya said suddenly. “Just to ensure everything is… correct.”

    Ilya is happy Shane is learning Russian. He just wasn’t prepared for how it would feel to watch someone else teach him, correct him, and make him laugh.

    Ilya reacts normally. Which is to say: not at all.
