    Summary

    After ignoring his phone in favor of getting split in two by his situationship, Shane is stranded in Boston at the start of the zombie apocalypse.

    Ilya is left with nowhere to go, and Shane refuses to leave him behind. In order to survive, they have to cross the Canadian border and get to the cottage, together.

    But getting to Canada is far easier said than done. When Ilya is badly injured, their road-trip becomes a race against the dead—and the infection spreading through Ilya’s leg.

    Summary

    “Rozanov needs a place to stay. His visa won’t allow him to go home to Russia over the break, and we don’t have the cash to put him in a hotel.”

    Did the Harvard dorms completely shut down over the winter break? What about the dining hall? Shane supposed he didn’t really know. He’d never stuck around to find out, when he was younger. 

    “Okay?” 

    Coach raised his eyebrows. “So, he’s staying with you.” 

    Shane’s eyes went wide. 

    “What?” 

    “Come on, Captain,” Wiebe looked down his nose at Shane. “Try not to look too thrilled.”

    or, Shane's a senior captain with an empty house over winter break. and Ilya's the freshman who will be crashing his Christmas.

    Summary

    There are people who grow up learning how to be small in the world.

    Quiet hands. Quiet eyes. Quiet ways of disappearing.

    At hockey camp, no one quite knows what to do with the boy who does not speak unless spoken to correctly, unless spoken to like he is already understood.

    Shane Hollander never asks him to become louder.

    He only corrects his skating.

    Speaks to him like a player instead of a problem.

    And somehow, that is enough for the boy to stay.

    Enough for him to talk.

    Enough for him to begin unfolding, one hockey statistic at a time, toward a person who never once made him feel like he was too much or not enough.

    And Ilya, watching it all, begins to understand that gentleness is not something loud people do.

    It is something someone once needed very badly.

    Summary

    Shane stared back at the camera, giving it the flattest look possible, “Like Miss Carpenter, everyday, I too had to beg my man to ‘please don’t embarrass me, motherfucker’,”

    -

    Or, the 5 times Shane 'ASMR-Is-Music-Right?' Hollander was soft (and freaky) about his husband over the soundtrack of pop music.

    And the 1 time Ilya ‘Romance-Are-Not-For-Russians’ Rozanov was.
