    Summary

    All Shane wanted to do was to play hockey.
    He knew he was pretty much the best at it.

    What he didn't know, being the best was not enough.

    Being a gay Asian-Canadian hockey player didn't help anything at all.

    Nor did the fact that he got drafted to Ottawa, the team where Ilya Rozanov was already the biggest star.

    Or,
    An alternate universe where Shane is openly out as gay. Ilya is still closeted bisexual. And they both play for the same team- ie, Ottawa Centaurs.

    Summary

    Looking across the room to where Troy is on the floor playing with Chiron, Harris starts flailing his arms under the table in the other man’s general direction. He attempts to do this in a manner that won’t alert Ilya, though it probably looks absolutely insane to Troy, who remains oblivious to his distress and need for another set of eyes on this Zoom situation.

    “So you like the idea?” he asks.

    “Not bad. Maybe call it Quaran-team with the Cens?” Ilya floats.

    He continues somehow, and with great effort, to spitball names for the initiative while watching the half-naked guy behind Ilya move through an incredibly acrobatic yoga routine, head remaining just off camera.

    **The pandemic sucks. It raises Shane’s anxiety through the roof, but it also lends him a new point of view, a small existential crisis, if you will… life is too short to keep hiding his love for Ilya. So Shane and Ilya decide to just screw it and be less uptight about protecting their secret. They’re in lockdown anyway, what could happen? Or, five times Shane and Ilya have a Zoom mishap, and one time it’s not accidental at all.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is a good vet. He can diagnose patients, neuter animals with Shakira blasting from the other room and deal with a few cat scratches. What he cannot manage is professional hockey player Ilya Rozanov being an overanxious dog dad and flirting with him, especially when he can barely tell.

    Summary

    Scott must be confused as hell if he was asking for Kip. Especially in front of his teammates. Kip should say no, that he was a friend from outside New York. He lived in Vancouver or Hawaii or England. Scott was quite literally concussed, he didn’t actually want his ex-boyfriend showing up. It had been made abundantly clear that Kip and Scott’s friend groups would not be meeting each other.

    “I—yeah. What hospital is he at?” Kip said.

    Summary

    "After an hour of breathing exercises, retracing what he had learned about himself and others, he opened his Notes app:

    want:
    Ilya
    Stanley Cups
    Awards

    not doing:
    Dissociating
    Making myself small to make others comfortable
    Waiting ten fucking years

    Watching the clock, the time he had been waiting for was finally there.

    Time to remind Ilya where the smoking area was."

    Or

    In 2021, Shane and Ilya are sent back to 2008. And they are determined to do it better this time.
