Summary
Six months ago, Shane’s intimate conversation and break-up with Rose Landry was recorded and leaked. In those six months, his life had completely upended and everything had changed, for better or for worse. Except for Ilya. He still has Ilya, and he’s beginning to understand that he always will.
It’s 2018. Shane Hollander has to figure out his new life, in a new city, on a new team, while being out to the world but not by his own choice. Ilya, along for the ride, also has to learn what it means to be connected to a place, to a person, and to his own inner truth.
(Sequel to “something you can fix,” set post-Heated Rivalry, pre-The Long Game)

Summary
Shane made it back to the living room right as he clicked on Ilya’s contact, placing the phone against his ear and practically collapsing back onto the couch as the line rang.
“Come on, come on, pick up, pick up, pick up,” he begged under his breath.
Hayden watched him with silent concern.
There was a beep over the phone, “Hi, this is Ilya; I will never listen to your voicemail.”
Shane hung up and checked the time. It was barely early evening in Moscow; Ilya should’ve answered.
He hit the call button again. This time, the beep was practically immediate.
“Hi, this is Ilya-”
He called again.
“Hi, this is-”
Shane hung up and buried his head in his hands. This couldn’t be happening.

Ilya is in Russia, instead of in bed next to Shane, when the FanMail video makes it to Twitter. The days that follow are filled with waiting, fear, running, and hope as both of them fight different battles, but with the same goal in mind: to be able to keep loving each other for years to come.

Summary
“I want our family,” Ilya said. “I want children. Permanence, I think is the word... A life with you. More than anything.”
Shane felt his throat tighten. “I want that too.”
Ilya nodded, eyes swelling. “I know. That is why I need to say everything now. Before I lose the nerve.”
He took Shane’s hands, grounding himself. “I am trying to be strong for you. But I need you to be strong for me too.”
“I am,” Shane said immediately, almost offended.
“I know,” Ilya said. “But I need you to listen.”
Shane nodded. “I am listening.”
“I do not want to play hockey much longer,” Ilya said quietly. “Maybe couple more seasons. And then I am done.”
Shane stared at him. “Done?”
“Yes.”
“With hockey. You’re serious?”
“Very,” Ilya said.
