    Summary

    This fic lives in the spaces Rachel Reid leaves quiet. It follows Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov from the end of Heated Rivalry through The Long Game, then imagines a future shaped by love, community, and consequence.

    Chapters 1–16 focus on the four-year gap between Heated Rivalry and The Long Game. These chapters trace the long, uneven process of staying in love while being forced apart by careers, secrecy, and fear. They linger on stolen moments, missed calls, private rituals, and the emotional labor of choosing each other over and over again after committing exclusively to each other.

    Chapter 17 is a deliberate rewrite of a key scene from The Long Game that I couldn’t live with as written.

    Chapters 18–45 imagine what comes after The Long Game in the upcoming Unrivaled era through my thoughts. This section centers on Shane and Ilya learning how to live publicly, build a community. Luca Haas becomes a vital part of that future, not as a threat, but as proof of how love expands rather than divides. Together with their growing chosen family, they confront an antagonistic podcast, TopShelf.

    Through their arrangement at a discreet Montreal kink bar, where NDAs protect secrets and sessions are charged per hour, they discover the most dangerous thing isn’t being caught—it’s wanting more than those hours allow.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander's world ends on the ice in the last game of the season. He wakes up with synesthesia—every voice floods his vision with colors so overwhelming he can't stand to be around anyone. His best friend makes him sick. His parents give him headaches.

    Except Ilya Rozanov. His rival. The man he's been sleeping with in secret for three years. Ilya's voice is the only one that doesn't hurt.

    So Shane does the only thing he can: retreats to his cottage and calls Ilya to come stay. Alone together, they can't hide anymore.

    Summary

    Ilya hadn’t always wanted to kill himself. At least he didn’t think so.

    It started out slowly. A thought here or there, while watching TV or going for a run. He could shoo them out of his mind without a second thought, and convince himself that everything was fine. Until they started lingering.
