    Summary

    A rearrangement/reworking of The Long Game. Instead of skipping ahead the way TLG does. This tells various stories that would occur during that 1st year, 2nd year, 3rd year when Shane is still a Voyager and Ilya a Centaur.

    Timeline is roughly:

    Ilya's First Centaur Season:
    Rip off the band-aid - Summer- immediately after Heated Rivalry, still at the first ever cottage getaway.
    I Only threw this party for you - Fall - That very halloween, roughly 4 months from the cottage.
    I got to hear it from your lips - Late Fall/Winter - where Ilya is jealous of Shane getting attention by other gay men now that he's out. (short flashforward scene in the end)
    Ilya's 2nd Centaur Season:
    Can I get Shane's Number? - Fall- Troy joins the team mid-season. Nov - January timeline
    Let's all meet Harris - Winter - Harris joins the staff in Feb.
    Ilya's 3rd Season:
    Two Drunken Nights Two Months Apart - Fall - 1 October night, 1 Jan. night. 1 press conference.
    Make no Apologies - Winter - Ilya's third Centaur season - January/Feb
    Rock Bottom to Rock Solid - Spring Playoffs to Summer cottage friend getaway weekend

    Summary

    Nothing feels right or good. Not the weight of his pads or the glide of his skates over fresh ice. Not the crispness of the rink air or the roar of a sold out Montreal crowd. Not his teammates’ triumphant shouts when he sinks a goal or cool water in his throat after a hard workout or well wishing texts from his parents before every game. It’s all just… faded.

    Grey.

    Empty.

    Shane doesn’t know how to bring color back into his life. Not when he leeched it out himself with every step he took away from the only person who has ever truly, honestly seen him.

    • • • • •

    After Shane walks away, his life falls apart one piece at a time.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander has built his life around discipline, legacy, and winning—on the ice and off it. A secret relationship with his rival, Ilya Rozanov, was never meant to become more than stolen nights and unspoken promises. It was never meant to leave Shane staring at a positive pregnancy test in a hotel bathroom.

    When Ilya chooses to end things for what he believes is the greater good, Shane is left carrying a secret that could change everything, and a love that refuses to die quietly. As the season presses on and the ice becomes the only place they’re allowed to meet, both men must live with the cost of a decision made in grief, fear, and love.

    Some endings are clean. This one is anything but.

    Summary

    Standing at the door of Ilya’s hotel room, Shane prepares his speech in his head. Everything he wants to tell Ilya, to explain to Ilya. To apologize for running away when things started to feel too real. What he didn’t prepare for was Ilya’s arms wrapped around him as the man cried into his shoulder.

    Or how one night in a Tampa bay hotel room changes their lives and careers forever

    Summary

    Connected to my series if you want to see how we got here...

    Ilya and Shane have come out to the world that they are a couple, but they're keeping their new engagement under wraps for now. It's been a rocky announcement enough as is with coming out as a couple, while most people are supportive, Shane basically got kicked off the Montreals and assaulted by his teammates. He's moved in with Ilya in Ottawa and has plans lined up to be a Centaur next season. It can only go up from here right? Wrong, they say things have to get worse before they get better. How much worse though?

     

    or... Shane and Ilya plan to reveal their engagement this summer at the cottage to their closest friends. They've got to make it through the Spring before then. A few things challenge them in new ways they didn't expect.

    NO CHARACTER DEATH.
