    Summary

    June, 2000.
    Montreal, Canada.

    Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov were both expected to go into the 2000 NHL Draft as the draft picks
    It was planned. It was inevitable. It was everything they wanted, right?

    What they didn’t plan for was the NHL benching them until their college years were finished with a promise waiting in Boston and Montreal once they were done.
    They’d play NCAA hockey. They’d make it to the NHL eventually.

    But somehow, cruelly, fate decided they’d do it at the same place.

    Stuck.
    Stuck at McGill.
    Same team. Same ice.

    Sharing a room with your rival.
    Fuck.

    Summary

    Ilya had sent them fully horizontal, grappling at Shane through his gear, pulling at his jersey and hair. Shane made a painstaking effort to not enjoy the returned contact. The reciprocated touch. He was using most of his energy to shove down the warmth building in his abdomen at the weight above him, leaving almost nothing to fight back.

    “Get off of me.” Shane said without much passion, shoving. But with Rozanov on top, he didn’t have much leverage against the bigger boy.

    No.” Ilya shot back.

    Or, Shane and Ilya are at a prestigious hockey camp and can't stop fighting each other. Luckily, they might have found another way to get out their frustration.

    Summary

    “Ilya Rozanov,” Shane repeats slowly, letting himself taste the words. He grins. “Wow. You’re, like, a really good player. How come you’re in Canada for summer camp? Is that weird to ask? Sorry if that’s weird. I just meant-”

    Shane is cut off by a hand on his mouth. He flushes.

    “Too fast,” Ilya says. “My English… not good.”

    “Sorry,” Shane mumbles into Ilya’s hand. Ilya grins and shakes his head, curls dancing, as he pulls his hand away.

    “Is okay. Slow words. Okay?”

    This year marks thirteen year Shane Hollander's third summer at Coach Marakov's elite hockey training camp. In attendance for the first time: Ilya Rozanov, visiting from Russia. Shane isn't the most sociable, and Ilya's English isn't the greatest, yet the unlikely duo soon become the best of friends.

    It's just one summer, but it makes a world of difference.

    Summary

    Shane’s immediate reaction is to say that he doesn't know when it started. He doesn’t know who his soulmate is. This is what he’s been telling himself for years, because if he stops for more than a second to think about how long he's been collecting little pieces of Ilya Rozanov, he thinks he'll spiral out of control.

    He'll hit the deck like a firecracker dropped unceremoniously onto the sidewalk, burning wildly and spiralling haphazardly, until he's fizzled out with nothing left to show for himself but smoke, ashes, and the knowledge that his soul is bound to Rozanov's.

    or:

    shane hollander spends twenty-five years not thinking about his soulmate. the drawer in his apartment filled with cigarettes, toothpaste, and awful t-shirts says elsewise.
