  1. It takes living through four iterations of the exact same day for Shane to think, okay. Maybe this doesn’t have anything to do with hockey.

    In his defense, it’s not like time loops come with a manual.

  2. And now, as Shane flew down the ice, carrying the puck back and forth with his stick, he found himself enjoying his own breathlessness. He felt his stomach jolt and his hands grow clammy with the excitement of the breakaway. The rink seemed to fade away as he got closer and closer to Toronto’s goalie. He did not see the crowd start to stand, sensing the impending goal. He did not see Montreal’s bench lean further over the boards, praying for the win that would clinch their spot in the cup finals and already imagining the glory of securing another title.

    He did not see Todd Masterson.

    -
    After Shane Hollander dies during the playoffs, Ilya Rozanov drives to Montreal looking for the pieces of him that are still left behind.

  3. "What are you doing here?"

    Ilya looks at him. Shane has not moved from the doorway. He has one hand still on the frame.

    "I don't know," Ilya says, which is the truest thing he has said in months.

    Shane makes a sound that isn't quite a laugh. "That's not—" He stops. Runs a hand over his face. "You can't be here, Ilya."

    The name. Again. Said almost like an accident.

    "Why are you here?" he asks instead of responding to that.

    Shane goes still.

    "This isn't your place," Ilya says. Carefully. "I mean, you don’t live here. You live somewhere else, a real one, nicer, bigger, or I don’t know because I have never been to it. So why are you in the fuck building at four in the morning?"

    Shane's jaw tightens. For a second Ilya thinks he won't answer, that he will turn and go back inside and this will be just another door between them and then Shane says, low and bitten-off: "I come here sometimes."

    "Why?"

    "You know why."

     

    Or, After Shane leaves Ilya in Boston, Ilya becomes a mess and Shane thinks he's ruined everything. They both seek each other silently until they cross paths again. Eventually, someone has to say something.

  4. Shane Hollander has spent his entire career in careful control - of his image, his privacy, and the parts of himself he wasn’t ready to share with the world. One leaked conversation strips all of that away overnight, and what’s left in its wake is a locker room that’s turned on him, a coaching staff that wants him gone, and an organization that has decided the easiest solution is to make him disappear quietly.

    Ilya has been in the league now long enough to understand that some things are too dangerous to want. He has his career, his team, and the laws of his home country to think about. He has very good reasons to keep his distance from Shane Hollander and the storm currently surrounding him. But he’s never been good at doing what he should do.

    A story about what it costs to have everything taken from you - your privacy, your safety, your right to tell your own story - and what it looks like to slowly, painstakingly, build something real in the wreckage. About two people who have been circling each other for years finally running out of room to keep pretending. About found family, hostile ice, and the difference between the life you survived and the one you actually get to live.

  6. “Is there a boy?” Rose asks, feeling a lot of conflicting emotions. A part of her is giddy and curious, and another dreads the answer a little.

  10.

  11. “I did not … know what happened. You touched over my pants, kissed my stomach. Went into my lap.” Ilya gestures with his free hand like he’s grasping for a word he can’t find, just out of reach. “Something was different.” Shane can’t say he remembers all that in as much clarity as Ilya does – the whole day is a bit of a blur in his mind. “We were having fun afternoon. Sex and naps and talking. And then I touched your hair and you went somewhere. Scared me, a little bit.” Blinking and still not understanding, Shane repeats, “I went somewhere?” Reaching over, Ilya picks up the booklet. One handed, he holds it against his thigh and flips to a page around halfway through with the word Subspace in bold at the top. He taps it with his forefinger. “Went here, I think.” Shane experiences a sub-drop without knowing what's happening. Ilya doesn't know either, so he makes it his mission to find out.
