Summary
For years, Ilya and Shane have kept what they are to each other carefully hidden. The stolen moments in hotel rooms and late-night phone calls. Rivals don’t love each other, everyone knows that.
Then Shane hits the ice and Ilya has to decide how much he's willing to say out loud.
He chooses to say everything. He just doesn't expect Shane to have been able to understand.
In the aftermath, the secret is out to their teammates, to Shane's parents, to anyone paying attention. They are the MLH’s most recognised rivals, on opposite sides of one of the league's biggest divides and suddenly there’s nowhere left to hide. The question now isn't whether they love each other. It's whether they're brave enough to see what that looks like in the light, and whether the world around them is ready to let them find out.

Summary
“Hey, did you hear about Rozanov?”
Shane’s head snaps up at the mention of the Boston captain, eyes locking with Hayden’s. His friend looks amused, motioning to his phone.
“No, what about him?” Shane asks, trying to sound casual.
“He got some girl’s name tattooed on his leg. Apparently he was out partying with his team after their win and got it done. An Instagram post is going viral about it.”
or, Ilya gets a tattoo. Shane is very calm about it.

Summary
The nights were already cold and Berlin's streets were poorly lit, but Shane didn't mind. Berlin wasn't a pretty city; apartment blocks repeated themselves in washed-out mustard tones, aseptic blues and greens, off-putting reds. The windows of the newer buildings were so small he wondered if those rooms even got any light.
Now that he thought about it, he could barely remember Hannover's architecture. He'd never paid attention. Hannover simply was.
How many things in his life simply 'were'? When was the last time something had demanded his full attention?
Or: Shane and Ilya meet in an erotic massage parlor in Berlin in 2012. They're both sex workers.
Or: an exploration of desire as a world-building force.
