Summary
Shane Hollander can handle twenty thousand screaming fans, high-stakes games, and the kind of pressure that never really lets up.
He cannot, however, handle preschool drop-off.
Fortunately, Teacher Ilya can.
(It involves a stuffed bunny, a city with no mayor, and maybe something more.)

Summary
Ilya let himself soften into it. He’d missed this, the simple camaraderie between teammates. He did feel lonely, but in some ways he felt safer with this team, and Shane had given him that, it was because of Shane that he moved to Ottawa. All the good things in his life curved back to Shane. Looking around, he tried to imagine him here, not Shane Hollander the hockey player, but his Shane, the man who made the darkest rooms feel like home. He felt suddenly certain that they would welcome him with love and respect. And, God help him, he was still hoping like an idiot that Shane would walk through the door.
Ilya tightened his grip on his roasting stick, jaw set, trying to divert his thoughts back to the present, when a ripple went through the group. Conversation dipped, then stopped completely.
“Um… what the fuck,” Dillon muttered, eyes flicking toward the house. “Is that Shane Hollander?”
Or Shane decides to go get his man after seeing Ilya’s instagram post in Chap.23 of TLG.

Ilya sits down carefully and takes Shane’s hand. “I am going to ask you something, and I want you to try not to freak out, okay? Take a breath, think about it.”
That sounds… serious.
“The Centaurs are having a barbeque,” Ilya says. “I would like to go, and I would like you to come with me.”Shane meets the Centaurs. As Ilya's close personal friend slash charity partner from Canada.

Summary
"You will bend for me many times, I think, before this production is over."
Shane means to say no. He means to tell Ilya Rozanov—arrogant Bolshoi principal dancer and professional pain in his ass—to fuck off and stop moving set pieces without permission. Instead, he ends up on his knees in a dressing room, which is definitely not how the Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s stage manager is supposed to handle conflict resolution.
Three weeks until opening night. One impossible rivalry. And absolutely no way this ends well.
or: Ilya comes to Winnipeg for The Nutcracker. Shane tries very hard to hate him. The mind-blowing hate-sex doesn’t help.
