  1. Hayden Pike met Shane Hollander when they were both 17. Now, a decade later, he thinks he knows him pretty well. Or: Hayden Pike figures it out, or maybe he knows all along; not knowing in a literal sense maybe, but in the way one knows one’s best friend, the way one soul knows another: so it’s less a matter of finding out, but more one of - oh, there you are, how nice it is to see all of you. Or: Hayden Pike has always thought Shane Hollander might be gay. Ilya Rozanov was only a little bit more of a surprise. WARNING: some spoilers for the end of Heated Rivalry (the book)

    It only takes eight years for Ilya to realise he and Shane have never gone on an actual date. The nature of their relationship has never really called for it, but since Hollander is looking for, admittedly, more than Ilya is able to provide at the minute, it wouldn't hurt to start acting like the kind of couple Hollander wants to be.

  4. Shane blinks his eyes open to find Ilya hovering above him. “Let me make you a burger for dinner.” “Ilya,” he smiles. Translation: Diet. “I will make you bird burger, the way you like it. Bean patty. Fake bread bun.” “You think they have my bean burgers and weird bread at this thing?” Shane had been expecting to just survive on veggie platters until they got home. Ilya scoffs like he said something stupid. “Yes, Hollander, I told Dykstra to order them last week.” Shane and Ilya attend the 2019 Dykstra-Pike collaborative Canada Day cottage party.

    Got a little battered and bruised
    From standing tall and speaking truth
    As if my life depends on it
    But being right don't pay the rent

  8. The first snowfall in Boston that year brings several things: a heavy layer of dirty snow coating all the roads of the city; a freezing, threatening cold to the air both inside and out; all incoming flights to Logan getting grounded before they could even think about taking off; and the breaking rumors that Ilya Rozanov is fucking men in his spare time.

  10. Shane kisses the soft green-blue veins beneath the pale skin of his wrist. Feels the flicker of Ilya’s pulse against his lips, steady like the wings of a butterfly. He tastes like salt and skin, and something else just beneath the surface. Something sweet and delicate. A gentle, hidden thing - something the rest of the world doesn’t get to see. They get thrown punches, and bruised knuckles, and hissed warnings. Shane gets this.

  11. The doorbell rings just as Shane is finishing brushing his teeth – the first thing they rose to do, because he wants to kiss Ilya good morning – and he and Ilya exchange a confused look in the bathroom mirror. It's barely dawn, and Ilya's curls are adorably tousled from sleep as he scratches his ribs lazily, toothbrush dangling from the corner of his mouth. 

    Shane hesitates, then rinses his toothpaste out and runs a hand through his hair. "Fuck, it's probably anti-doping."

    No one else would be here at this hour – unless it's an emergency.

  12. “Go away,” Ilya said, his voice muffled by something. Shane would bend space and time to give Ilya anything, but he would not grant him this. Instead, he pushed the door open, his heart breaking at the sight of Ilya in his massive bed, somehow looking tiny beneath the covers. “Ilya,” he said, the name escaping like an exhale. He had so much to say. So many things that needed fixing. So many apologies he owed him. “Shane, please-“ “I’ll go.” “Yes. Thank you.” “No - not… not to Montreal. To the party. If you’ll still have me.“ OR Shane attends Boodram’s Boxing Day Party. This is how it goes.

  13. “You know - my biggest fucking fear came true on a huge scale. The entire planet found out I’m gay, Ilya can never go back to his home country again, my life blew up, and none of you asked if I was okay. I can’t believe I almost gave him up just so I would never have to face this exact reaction from people who yesterday I would’ve considered family. I can’t believe what I almost let you all cost me.” And then, quieter, “I can’t believe how little it took for you to throw me away.” Hauling his bag over his shoulder, Shane stared around the room, one more glance at the men he’d given the best years of his career to. “Best of luck next year without me.” OR Hurt by the team's accusations that he let the Centaurs win, Shane gets his pain off his chest before leaving the Voyageurs' locker room for good.
