    Summary

    Shane thought that by the time he was thirty, he’d be married and on the waitlist to adopt a baby. He spent his twenties in one serious longterm relationship after another, after all.

    Instead he is now twenty-nine, single for over a year and looking for a nice, stable boyfriend: preferably college educated and in the same place in life as he is.

    The only problem is that the bartender at the restaurant Shane takes his dates to is the hottest man Shane has ever seen in his life.

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov is, maybe, perhaps, a little unhealthily obsessed with his cycling instructor, a man who does not know he exists. Or, Ilya corrects himself, he may know he exists—he is Ilya Rozanov, after all—but, the point still stands.

    Shane Hollander is a former college hockey player turned Peloton instructor with some very dedicated fans.

    Happy (early) Shane Hollander's birthday to all who celebrate! This story starts May 10, 2021.

    Summary

    "Oh." Hollander has gone a little red, beneath his freckles. "I am from… French Canada? Québec? Do you know? Very… very small town there, no English, only French. I try to learn, but— is a bit hard."

    Ilya feels mildly stupid. He knew, obviously, that they speak French in Canada, but he didn’t know it was, like— some people’s only language. He’d sort of assumed everyone was fluent in both.

    "Huh. Cool."

    "Your English is very good," Hollander offers.

    Ilya laughs.

    "I mean, yeah— I grew up in Minneapolis."
