    Usually, I'm a canon current reader. Reading this made me yearn for them to be together. She's keeping me coming back for more. Love will win, I'm sure of it.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander arrives in Vegas with a question he hasn’t spoken out loud.

    It isn’t complicated, exactly. It’s just the kind of question that requires honesty he isn’t sure he’s ready for - about what he and Ilya Rozanov have been doing for the past few years, about what six months of silence after Sochi actually meant, and about whether any of it is worth staying close to or whether he finally needs to go.

    He gets his answer in a locked bathroom at the NHL Awards.

    Ilya spends the summer convinced that Shane is fine. Upset? Yes. Angry? Definitely. But Shane always felt things fiercely despite what everyone said about him when he had his back turned. He’d calm down over the summer and then he’d be there like he always had been. He fills the silence with discipline and routine and the comfortable certainty that later is still available to him.

    He’s wrong.

    By the time Ilya understands what he actually lost, Shane is already gone; and Ilya is left trying to find a way back to someone who closed the door long before Ilya had ever thought to just walk through it.

    Summary

    This has an MCD—but I promise I would never let them die in vain. I believe that beauty can be born from tragedy, and this story comes with the promise of a happy ending.

    If you can’t put your faith in me, please put your faith in them:

    “This was, hands down, the most heartbreaking, soul destroying, gut wrenching piece of writing, that is also simultaneously breathtakingly beautiful, to possibly ever exist.”

    “Your views on life that you able to impart on your world is also incredible, with some of them making me stop and genuinely consider.”

    “The way I look at life and love and endings...you changed that for me.”

    “This story is so steady and comforting, even through the pain because you face it head-on, without flinching, with love and care and a gentle hand.”

    “It is a beautiful and honest portrayal of how they cherish every moment, and make the most of every day.”

    “I feel this story, with all its iterations, is inherently human. And that touches people who yearn for this kind of connection and family.”

    “So many words in this story have comforted me, and honestly I don't think there are any words that could describe how much this story has helped me.”

    Summary

    Shane Hollander had a plan. It was a good plan, just as every other plan he’d ever made was a good plan. Then he watched a video of a burning plane carrying the love of his life and it became the only plan he’d ever changed.

    or...

    Shane goes to Tampa. The next morning, Troy Barrett receives a text from Ilya:

    “Bringing boyfriend to breakfast. Tell team to be not weird.”

    The Centaurs are, unsurprisingly, weird about it but become the best support system they could ask for as Shane and Ilya navigate the choice to fully begin their lives together and love each other out loud.
