    Ilya’s heart jumps straight into his throat. For a second, he just stares, watching as Shane reaches past him to press his floor before settling beside him. It’s Anya who breaks the moment. She springs up onto her hind legs, tail wagging furiously, tugging hard at her leash toward him.

    “Anya,” Ilya warns, dragging his eyes away, gently pulling her back. “Stop.”

    “It’s okay,” Shane laughs softly, already crouching down, his hand reaching out without hesitation. “She’s so cute.”

    “Yeah,” Ilya mutters, something sharp and irrational flickering in his chest as he watches Shane give her all his attention. After a week of not seeing him, he selfishly wants it all to himself. “She is a menace though.”

    “I believe it,” Shane says with a chuckle, standing again just as the elevator begins to rise.

    OR

    A chance encounter after his menace of a dog escapes from her crate has Ilya Rozanov desperate to find his cute freckled neighbour in apartment 1410.

    Hollander watched him through the screen, face flushed and dark eyes half-lidded, heavy from the powerful orgasm that had just rocked him on the other side of the country. “I guess I won’t see you until next season, then.”

    Ilya snorted, dropping the towel onto the floor. “I don’t have seasons. At least not the same ones you do.”

    ----

    Ilya didn't regret leaving hockey behind. His life was his own now, inconsistent, frustrating, and difficult as it was.

    His fascination with Shane Hollander, then, was just that—a fascination, a curiosity about the world that could have been, a glimpse of the life that he might have had. But fascination could grow, when there was somewhere to take root.

    Shane Hollander was a garden.

    Shane Hollander is a former professional cyclist who now owns a bike shop in Colorado. Ilya Rozanov, the tattoo artist who owns the shop next door, thinks boy scout Shane Hollander should take a ride on his motorcycle instead. But what starts out as a casual fling can't stay that way for long--not once Shane and Ilya discover the depths of their chemistry (and Ilya the many benefits of little spandex shorts). Both of them have been hurt before, and the only way to move forward is to get over their pasts. It's a hill climb in both directions, but if Shane Hollander can do anything, it's push himself to endure the burn when he knows the ride home will be that much more satisfying.

    Still looking at the screen, Model Man says, “What is your stop?”

    “Ochanomizu?”

    “Hm.”

    There is suddenly a finger scratching at the hair at the nape of Shane’s neck, just above his collar. Model Man is touching him and looking at the train stops and manages to appear so casual that Shane almost convinces himself it’s by accident. A second finger joins the first, and now they are massaging a little instead of just tickling his hair, and it’s definitely not by accident.

    “Get off with me at next stop,” Model Man says, brushing his knuckles up and down Shane’s neck.

    Shane quits hockey and moves to Japan right out of college, where he gets really fixated on the hot guy in the ad for cherry-blossom flavored beer on his train. And then, one day, hot guy is on his train.

    Heat spread across Ilya's face. His mouth fell open slightly. He let out a short, stuttered laugh of disbelief. This couldn't- he was straight, he wasn't-

    “Finally got you at your own game.” Shane's smirk widened to a smile, his hand clapping down on Ilya's shoulder to squeeze it slightly. For once in his life, Ilya was unable to find his voice.

    “Damn.” Shane laughed, jostling him a bit. “If I had known this was all it took to get you to shut the fuck up, I would have started flirting back years ago.”

    ----

    When old college friends Ilya and Shane show up to their mutual best friend's wedding, they are ready to fulfill their duties as bridesmen. Even after years of not seeing each other, they fall right back into their usual banter.

    Ilya loves to flirt with Shane. Shane loves to tell him to fuck off. It's a running bit. Nothing more than a joke between two friends; because Shane is gay and Ilya is straight and it doesn't actually mean anything…until Shane finally decides to flirt back, and Ilya's world suddenly tilts on its axis.

    “Do you think I could get into the dressing room hallway?” Ilya asked.
    The photographer cocked their head, “Why?”
    “I feel that doesn’t matter to you.”
    Ilya could feel his stomach sinking. How was he supposed to get to Shane Hollander if he never stayed still? “Do you know when he will be done with everything?” When the photographer gave him a confused and irritated look, he reached for his wallet. “Better yet, do you have his phone number?”

    Shane Hollander desperately needs to disappear.
    After a spectacularly awful week, a remote Yorkshire cottage seems like the perfect place to hide from the press, rediscover himself, and drink an irresponsible amount of tea.
    Unfortunately, the cottage isn't empty.
    The Russian stranger insists it’s his, but Shane has paperwork that says otherwise.
    It's just after midnight, there's a storm outside, the roads are probably flooded, and the only available weapon is a stuffed fish.
    Clearly, this is all Svetlana's fault.
    They're both convinced the cottage belongs to them and they're both refusing to leave.
    A Yorkshire romcom.
    Inspired by The Holiday (2006), with lashings of Wallace & Gromit.

    "I'm not gay."

    "Okay you're not gay. But something made you call a gay helpline. Do you want to talk about it?"

    "I found this number on a poster in some bar, I don't… I can't tell anyone else about this. I need to tell someone…"

    "You can tell me."

    Or; Shane needs someone to confide in about Ilya so he calls a Montreal based LGBT helpline to talk things through anonymously. And then he keeps calling, through every anxious thought and major milestone, someone else is on the other end of the line listening and advising.

    When it happens the puck has just left his stick.

    It's a clean hit, but Shane takes it horribly, crumbling on impact and colliding with the boards. While he tries valiantly to keep his head up, he feels himself slide sideways and his last fully coherent thought occurs as his head cracks against both the ice and the bottom edge of the boards.

    Immediately, the arena starts to wilt.

    “… We just want a future.”

    “I have only been in love with one person…”

    Shane falls backwards and sinks, the ice turning to water beneath him.

    “Holy shit. I love you too…”

    “I love you…”

    The words—memories?— are swimming amongst him, angled and distorted; they consume him, they’re are all he can process, even as someone else—a medic, maybe?— on the periphery now, says, "Just stay still Hollander."

    “Hollander, go back to your bench or—”

    And… he just snaps. Throwing away the helmet he wasn’t aware he’s taken off, he barks, his voice booming. “That’s my fucking husband laying on the ice. I have every fucking right to he here. He’s my husband. I make the decisions here. If he…”—he can’t bring himself to complete the sentence, his eyes welling up with unshed tears—“If anything happens to him, all of you, every single fucking one of you, will answer to me. And rest assured, if you fuck up because you are too busy yelling at me to get him the help need needs, I will not be as gracious as I am being right now.”

    The uproar in the arena is deafening as the ref finally skates out of his way, but Shane is by Ilya’s side now, his hand clutching his husband's. “I am here, baby,” he repeats over and over again. First in English, then in Russian. “You are okay. You are going to be okay, my love.”
