    Summary

    The Swiss National League doesn’t care about the legendary Hollander-Rozanov rivalry. When the MLH can’t negotiate with the Hockey Players’ Union in time to prevent a hockey lockout at the start of the 2015 season, the Zürich Lions jump at the chance to sign both Shane and Ilya to short-term contracts. For four months in Switzerland, they share a team, a line, a house, and a bed. 

    Then the lockout ends in January, and it’s time to go back. Back to different countries, cities, lives. Beds.

    Reentry is harder than expected.

    Summary

    “Okay,” Ilya says. His thumb restarts its soothing. “Then say it all wrong, and I will understand anyway.”

    So Shane tries, reaches out and hopes for Ilya to reach back. “My first year with the Metros wasn’t… great. I mean, I played great hockey, but those first few years, the room wasn’t…"

    “Room wasn’t great,” Ilya repeats. “What does this mean? Not great like calling you slurs? Not great like hazing?”

    Shane stiffens, then forcibly relaxes. He tries to make his voice light, “A little, uh. A little of both, I guess.”

    OR

    Shane's metric for a normal locker room is skewed. Ilya (and the Centaurs) are happy to help.

    Summary

    It has been three days since Ilya let Shane feed.

    Shane is a vampire who cannot control his own desires, with a hunger too strong to survive on his own. It is a good thing, then, that he has Ilya to control them for him.

    Summary

    The everyday magic of knowing someone well enough to move through a kitchen without colliding. Of trying instant noodles together because a teammate was enthusiastic about them. Of accidentally ordering seventy-two packets and laughing about it instead of fighting.

    Of building a life, one small moment at a time.

    (The one where Ilya and Shane try Indomie for the first time.)
