    Summary

    As a straight man, Ilya Rozanov has never had a gay roommate before, but it’s going pretty well. Shane Hollander is kind, silly, and an even bigger hockey nut than Ilya.

    So when Shane starts bringing men over, and Ilya begins to want to bash their fucking heads in, Ilya comes to a startling conclusion: He must be homophobic.

    (He’s jealous.)

    Summary

    “I’m telling you, Shane,” Ilya says. “I take birthdays very seriously.”

    Shane lets out a dignified snort. “Sure.”

    “And I take your birthday the most seriously. It is my job as your boyfriend, yeah?”

    Shane’s heart squeezes in his chest. “Yeah, okay.”

    Ilya smiles, his eyes softening. “Moy lyubimiyy,” he murmurs. “I am going to celebrate you the way you deserve.”

    Shane is used to being told he’s impossible to buy a birthday present for. It’s not exactly fun to be reminded of this fact about himself year after year, but he’s come to accept that it’s probably his own fault. After all, what do you give a man who has zero interests outside hockey and keeps his cards close to his chest?

    Turns out, his boyfriend might have a few ideas.

    (Or, Shane celebrates his birthday with Ilya for the first time since they started dating, and Ilya proves he’s the indisputable king of giving gifts.)

    pledge allegiance to my burning heart by theseheavytimes

    All Shane hears is he is hard to give a gift to, and Ilya give gifts for him on his birthday. Takes place after book 1, before book 2.

    Shane's been fucking Ilya Rozanov for a decade and yet somehow the more time they spend together the more he realizes how little he actually knows about Ilya, like, as a person. As a partner. 

    Again, he wishes he spoke Russian. That they had any shared native language besides sex and hockey.

    Summary

    In 2014, Shane Hollander walked away from hockey, from the spotlight, and from every dream he built since he was 8 years old.

    In 2014, Ilya Rozanov felt like he was losing himself. So he pushed everything away, so no one would get hurt when he eventually cracked.

    Years later, they reunite, Shane — with so many scars, a thousand secrets, and a heart that never learned how to let go.

    Ilya Rozanov thought he knew what losing felt like.
    He was wrong.

    Or: Sometimes, love doesn’t leave.
    Sometimes, someone keeps it for you.
