Summary
When hockey superstar Shane Hollander dies suddenly during a private trip to Ontario, the sports world mourns the loss of a beloved captain, teammate, and public figure.
But no one knows the truth.
No one knows that Shane was the love of Ilya Rozanov's life.
Told through a mixture of narrative, text messages, news articles, social media posts, and everything in between, the story follows the aftermath of a death that became public property—and the man left behind to carry a love no one else was allowed to see.
(Previously Fucking asshole, I love you)

Summary
Jackie and Hayden conspire to set Shane up with one of Jackie's friends by inviting him over for dinner without telling him that said friend will be present.

Summary
”Shane Hollander of the Montreal Metros has been accused of homophobia after making an insensitive joke regarding gay marriage. This is especially hurtful due to its timing — following a shutout game against the New York Admirals, where Captain Scott Hunter resides as the only openly gay player in the MLH. Our insider source confirms this is not the first time Hollander has expressed his negative opinion on the LGBT+ community.
Our team has reached out to Hollander’s representative staff and is awaiting a response.”
Or: Five times Hollanov tries to come out only for nobody to believe them, and one time it sticks.Series

Summary
The woman had her hair tucked under a knit hat, and her eyes were actually kind.
"You are cold," she said.
"I'm fine," Shane said. His teeth betrayed him with a chatter.
She unwound her scarf from her own neck and wrapped it around his.
Eight-year-old Shane goes to a hockey camp in Moscow, becomes a victim to language barrier, and gets rescued by a woman who gives him her scarf and tells him snow angels are real.
Eighteen years later, Ilya finds out his mother had already met the love of his life.

Summary
“A sub drop?” Foreman asked, leaning back in his chair. “Really?”
“I’m being serious,” Chase said.
“Sometimes people get sad if they don’t cuddle after sex,” Foreman said. “That doesn’t lead to four months of bradycardia, appendicitis, and a failing spleen.”
“Clearly someone’s never had their heart broken,” House said.
