Summary
From: ruboy800
Subject: I have a big houseDear Loon,
Today I am in a new city. Different from yesterday. Montreal. Here, there is snow on the ground. It is the ugly kind. Very brown and sad. I am thinking of inventing a machine that cleans the snow. Maybe I will send you snow that is clean and you will be happy to have snow that does not make you sad. What are you doing today? Do you have big plans or are you staying at home? What does your home look like? Mine is very big. Twenty windows. I would like to see your home one day. -

Summary
Ilya knocks once. An innocent light, almost polite one. There are parties Shane could be at. Teammates, friends, noise. Ilya has just left a great one himself. Irish-exited the club, ditched half his team, taken a reckless cab ride across the city just so he could see Shane Hollander.
or, Ilya plays Shane on NYE

Summary
The common assumption is that people must be lining up to participate in his studies. You may meet your soulmate sounds seductive on its face, after all. But once participants learn what that actually entails: years of blind dates, weekly blood draws, constant monitoring, endless poking and prodding… The fantasy collapses. Hope is appealing. Commitment to the process is not.
After watching too many participants quit before meaningful data could be collected, Shane did the only thing that made sense: He became the lab rat.
It went on for years. Painful ones. Suffering for the sake of knowledge. Maybe that’s the bargain science demands. Shane is one of the most successful researchers in the field, but he isn’t alone.
Dr. Ilya Rozanov has been there the entire time.

Summary
“It’s not that.” Sounding quite petulant, Patrick tries to explain further, “It’s like, I just lose them? And yeah, this is all I have currently. Currently. That’s not to say that there aren’t many matching socks around here. It’s just, at this exact moment, I have no other socks matching this one in particular.”

Summary
Five years ago, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov quietly went their separate ways. They handled their heartbreak differently. Shane cut off his family and friends and focused only on hockey, not that it helped, his game has totally fallen apart. Ilya had the support of the Centaurs, even if they didn't know why they were supporting him.
But when Ilya announces his retirement at the end of the next season, it shakes Shane back to reality. He has one season left to play against the man he still loves; and then, would he ever see him again? As Shane starts to piece his life back together, the biggest missing piece is still Ilya.
Ilya had planned to just enjoy the last season he'd play of professional hockey and obviously try to win another cup. But when Shane reaches back out, he has much more to consider. He never expected to talk to Shane again, but he can't deny that it's everything he's wanted in the last five years.
Can they salvage what they had? Should they even try? How can Shane and Ilya be a part of each other's lives again?

Summary
Hudson and Connor are best friends. Both are in stable relationships, and they’re about to begin filming the second season of Heated Rivalry. But a matching bracelet becomes the breaking point. Not only between them and their partners, but between the two of them as well. It marks the beginning of a deeper realization: what exists between them can no longer be defined as just friendship.
***"Because he’s my best friend," he said through his teeth.
"And I’m your boyfriend," François replied without raising his voice. "But when you’re tired, when you’re scared, when you start to doubt… you don’t choose me."
Silence fell between them again, more unbearable than before.
"I’m not saying you don’t love me," he added, quieter. "I’m saying I’m not the place where your heart comes to rest."
Connor swallowed. His throat felt tight, like anything he said would break something else.
"That’s not fair…"
"Maybe it’s not," François admitted, looking at him with a mix of exhaustion and pain. "But it’s my truth, and Connor, the truth is it hurts like hell to love someone who’s always looking somewhere else."

Summary
The Swiss National League doesn’t care about the legendary Hollander-Rozanov rivalry. When the MLH can’t negotiate with the Hockey Players’ Union in time to prevent a hockey lockout at the start of the 2015 season, the Zürich Lions jump at the chance to sign both Shane and Ilya to short-term contracts. For four months in Switzerland, they share a team, a line, a house, and a bed.
Then the lockout ends in January, and it’s time to go back. Back to different countries, cities, lives. Beds.
Reentry is harder than expected.
