    Summary

    “I'm not in love with you.” There’s a jolt in Eddie’s stomach at that. “I’m not secretly pining for you, or anything like that. I don’t even see you that way.”

    “Oh,” Eddie says, then forces out a laugh he hopes sounds casual. Buck’s eyes are wide, honest, like he’s desperate for Eddie to be reassured by this admission, to believe him. And how much clearer could he be? He’s not in love with Eddie. That’s fine. Eddie never expected him to be. His now empty beer bottle hits the counter too loudly, “No, of course not.”

    Or: Buck reassures Eddie that he's not in love with him. Eddie feels some type of way about that.

    Summary

    Ilya Rosanov gets added to a group chat under the wrong name and doesn’t correct it.

    The Montreal WAGs are open and inviting.
    What follows isn’t a lie so much as a pattern — one that becomes harder to undo the longer it goes on.

    No one knows the truth.
    Not the hockey world, and not the group chat.

    Until they do.

    By the time it arrives, everyone is already involved.

    Summary

    He knows that they voted him into the alternate captain position, but the feelings of inadequacy and being an outsider do more than just linger. He can’t stop thinking about it. Can’t stop thinking about the fact that he wouldn’t feel this way had the country that brought him up not turned its back on him.

    “I mean,” starts the interviewer curtly, “there are a lot of Canadians who feel uneasy about a foreigner even being on the team, let alone being a captain. I guess what I’m really trying to ask is: why make the switch at all? Just to get around the ban?”

    Summary

    “Did Irina like the holidays, or were they hard for her?”

    Shane had been using Ilya’s mother’s name often since he’d learned it. It had been so long since Ilya had let himself say it aloud, even let himself think it. It sounded sweeter on Shane’s tongue.

    “She liked it, mostly. Some years were harder than others, but…” He let the thought die and picked another. “I was the only one who went to mass with her, after my father told us we didn’t have to anymore.”

    Shane’s own fingers danced up Ilya’s chest, stopping over his heart for a beat before climbing to his throat. He zipped Ilya’s cross back and forth over the gold chain. “I’m sure she loved that time with you.”

    Summary

    "You can unpack your clothes, you know. You don't have to live out of your suitcase while you're here." Shane nudged the pile of dirty laundry that lay on the floor of the bedroom (his bedroom? their bedroom?) He tugged his own shirt off and made a point of tossing it into the laundry basket instead of adding it to the mess.

    "But I am lazy." Ilya was already lying on the bed, stretched out on his back, hands behind his head, a perfect vision of toned, muscular beauty waiting there for Shane to join him.

    Shane gave a little frown, avoiding Ilya's gaze as he turned to strip off his shorts. I hate when you say that about yourself, he wanted to protest, it isn't true, stop saying it, but he didn't want to ruin the mood. Even now, they only had so much time together, and he hated to waste it on such petty issues as who put their socks where.

    Instead, once he was fully undressed, he strolled slowly over to the bed. "If you're so lazy, maybe you should just lie there and let me do everything."
