“I’m sorry I’m not him,” Shane says, looking away.
“Who?”
“Future me. Whoever you fell in love with.” What’s unsaid hangs in the air: whoever fell in love with you. Because this Shane – 2010 Shane – doesn’t love him. Is amused by their daily lessons, comforted by his presence, even grateful. But love?
“That’s the thing, Shane,” Ilya says. His eyes are shining. “You are, right now, exactly who I fell in love with.”
In 2031, Shane wakes up in the hospital certain that it's 2010. Ilya is there to remind him of the two decades he's missed and the life they've built along the way.

Hold On (I Still Want You) by velminort
Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
2026-01-11
Shane and Ilya broke up. It was the adult, mature decision they made together and moved on from. Except Shane is still Ilya's emergency contact and Ilya's coach just called. Ilya had a seizure. Well, seizures. Multiple. He is in the hospital, in the operation block and suddenly Shane is met with the possibility that last words Ilya Rozanov ever heard from him were "Maybe love isn't enough." And then complications occur. And Ilya is not waking up. *** They’d sat on a perfectly ordinary Wednesday afternoon in their perfectly ordinary kitchen, with coffee that had gone cold on the table between them, and calmly dismantled the life they’d built together. One sentence at a time. “Maybe we need space.” “Maybe we’re just hurting each other.” “Maybe love isn’t enough.” He wants to go back and shove that version of himself against the wall. Shake him until his teeth rattle. Love is the only thing that matters when someone is under general anaesthesia and a stranger is touching their brain, Shane thinks wildly. Love is literally the only currency worth anything in a room like this.

Shane Hollander hasn't seen Ilya Rozanov in ten years. Not since an injury ended Ilya's career overnight. In that time, Shane has faced reluctant medical retirement of his own, a big career change, and a decade of unfulfilling relationships. When he runs into Ilya at a New Year's Eve party, he can't help but fall back on old feelings. Circumstances have changed a lot, and so has Ilya. But can the two of them overcome old wounds for a shot at a second chance?
