    Summary

    “Your heart-eyes for him reminds me of myself when I first laid eyes on my Shane.”

    Luca sunk further into the seat. “That’s- I wasn’t looking at him at all!”

    “Also, Haas looked in love. YOU looked at me like I was gonna give you a disease in that parking lot.”

    Luca Haas has a meltdown on the ice in the final five minutes of the game.

    Confidence scarred, he throws himself into a summer athlete campaign with the Centaurs to outrun the fear that he’ll never be as skilled, confident, or sexually expressive as Ilya Rozanov was at his age.

    But when “charismatic-and-charming” Luca snaps and shocks everyone by starting a fistfight with Filipino-Canadian youth athlete Angelo Perez, summer quickly derails into a dilemma to be seen as mature, a struggle with emotional vulnerability, and these newfound, guilty urges for the very guy he fought on day one.

    Centaur matchmaking. Missing home. A messy summer fling. An exploration of what sparks are supposed to feel like. And Ilya catches Luca buying condoms.

    And Angelo’s “bad influence” that makes Luca feel—maybe for just one summer—that it's okay to be a little selfish.

    OR; a fan-made imitation of the scrapped Haas book

    Summary

    Arthur is an in-the-closet, stressed buisnessman with a stalker on his tail, Merlin is an odd-ball, new age hoodoo, hippy-dippy, spiritual, witchy shop owner. At least, that's what Arthur first thinks of him. Because there's no way real magic can possibly exist, and there's no way Arthur could ever fall for someone so extraordinarily peculiar.

    Summary

    “What is there to talk about?”

    “What’s there to talk about?!” Hollander scoffed, shaking his head. “You’re playing for my fucking team!”

    “I know.”

    “Why did you have to go and get traded?! You realise we’re going to have to see each other every day from now on, and play together, and-”

    “Yes,” Ilya interrupted. He didn’t want to know how long Hollander’s list was. “I know.”

    Hollander took a deep breath. “Okay, listen,” he said. “Just so we’re clear - we don’t know each other outside of playing against each other, right?”

    “Right.”

    “And we can’t- can’t hook up anymore.”

    ~

    OR: Ilya gets traded to Montreal in October 2014. He's lonely, and angry, and he misses Boston. He doesn't know if it helps that Hollander is there or not.

    Summary

    The Swiss National League doesn’t care about the legendary Hollander-Rozanov rivalry. When the MLH can’t negotiate with the Hockey Players’ Union in time to prevent a hockey lockout at the start of the 2015 season, the Zürich Lions jump at the chance to sign both Shane and Ilya to short-term contracts. For four months in Switzerland, they share a team, a line, a house, and a bed. 

    Then the lockout ends in January, and it’s time to go back. Back to different countries, cities, lives. Beds.

    Reentry is harder than expected.
