    Summary

    ~And from your lips, he drew the Hallelujah

    Ilya Rozanov leaves Boston and signs with Ottawa, trying to fight a slow slide into emptiness and find meaning in his life again. Shane Hollander is a lonely, struggling artist who lost his spark. When they meet by chance, they both have to decide what's worth living for.

    Or…Shane never gets the chance to become a pro hockey player, so they meet a little later in life. Basically, they’re both sad boys, but the healing will be worth it. More baggage, fewer hangups.

    ~You see I used to live alone before I knew ya.

    ——————————————————

    “So maybe we would have played together,” Ilya said.

    “Yeah. Maybe we would have been rivals,” Shane said, and that got a grin out of him. He couldn’t quite imagine it, but he thought that would have been fun, facing off against Ilya Rozanov. In another life.

    Ilya nodded slowly. “And yet here we are, meeting anyway. Maybe we were meant to.”

    Summary

    “You can’t smoke in here,” Shane said again, and the young Prince raised an eyebrow at him, puffing away at his pipe, “Prince Ilya Rozanov right?” Shane stepped into the warmth of the barn. “Shane Hollander, Duke of Montre,” Shane extended his hand and Ilya looked at his hand and then him.

    Then he slowly took Shane’s hand in his own gloved ones, blowing the smoke out the side of his mouth, a curious look on his face.

    After the end of the war, the second prince Ilya Rozanov remains as a glorified political prisoner under the watchful eye of Shane Hollander, Duke of Montre. Shane is the best man for the job, except he is increasingly distracted by the handsome second Prince. Just how long can Shane resist him?

    Summary

    "You will bend for me many times, I think, before this production is over."

    Shane means to say no. He means to tell Ilya Rozanov—arrogant Bolshoi principal dancer and professional pain in his ass—to fuck off and stop moving set pieces without permission. Instead, he ends up on his knees in a dressing room, which is definitely not how the Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s stage manager is supposed to handle conflict resolution.

    Three weeks until opening night. One impossible rivalry. And absolutely no way this ends well.

    or: Ilya comes to Winnipeg for The Nutcracker. Shane tries very hard to hate him. The mind-blowing hate-sex doesn’t help.

    Summary

    "I will find you. In every lifetime, in every realm, in every possible confluence — I will find you and I will love you like I have loved you in all previous lifetimes. I give you my word, you and I, we will meet again, beloved."

    Or, an Ember & Ice retelling.
