Summary
Shane Hollander is hockey’s closeted golden boy with everything to hide. Ilya Rozanov is a professional Dom with everything to lose and an expired visa.
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 and Ilya's new life in Ottawa and the Centaurs is just beginning. They want to live in the comfort of their love and hard-earned peace, go to Pride, play hockey, and have a family. But some in the outside world disagree.
Settling into a new routine, a new team and a new phase of their relationship is both thrilling and challenging, but they have learnt one thing after thirteen years:They can do anything together, and the Centaurs are not the team the hockey world remembers any more.
They are Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov and nothing can break them apart.
Not the comments, not the podcasts, not the league and definitely not Roger Crowell.Meanwhile a call from Russia changes everything and the peace they carved out for themselves spins their lives in unexpected directions.
Set post-The Long Game
Updated weekly.
The whole story is mapped out and will be quite long.
Music is such an important part of the show that I wanted to honour that. So every chapter is named after a song by a Canadian artist.Bookmarked by wondering_reads

Summary
Ilya and Shane have always played the long game.
Stay quiet. Stay careful. Stay together, just not publicly. Not yet.
In ten years, they’ll have everything they want.
Then Ilya gets a call from Russia.
Within days, their carefully planned future is replaced with something much more immediate: grief, guardianship, and a four-year-old girl who needs them now.
Suddenly, “later” isn’t an option anymore.
