    Summary

    Shane cups her cheek in his hand, running his thumb over the plush of her bottom lip. She looks at him through her fawnish lashes. He roves his eyes over her body. Her shoulders and biceps, her abs… She's so strong, so…

    Incredible.

    "I've never done that before," he admits, "Not with... with a woman, at least."

    "Right, well," she rolls her eyes, "Would probably be better with a real man, yes?"

    He shakes his head, "No. It wouldn't have been the same at all."

    - - -

    or, Shane comes to terms with his sexuality only to get thrown right back into confusion by Rozanov.

    Summary

    Shane leaves professional hockey before locker room homophobia and contractual obligations can destroy him.
    Somehow, inexplicably, he winds up on the Savannah Bananas, an exhibition baseball team.
    He coaches skating for kids in the off season.
    For the first time in years, Shane has fun again.
    (He doesn't think about Ilya Rozanov or those two nights they shared together)
    (He doesn't give Rozanov his number when, years later, they reunite)
    (Except actually he does)
    (It's the best thing he's ever done)

    Summary

    Shane's first mistake was going to talk to Ilya Rozanov before their game. His second was immediately, stupidly, meeting the eyes of Rozanov’s very much dead mother hovering at his side.

    Summary

    “Rozanov score…82,” the judge reads.

    The man, Rozanov, sneers, clearly unhappy with the number. He waves off the judges with his hat before stalking out of the rodeo arena. It’s a damn good score for a bareback bronco. Since coming to watch the event, the highest of the night that Shane’s seen so far.

    He knows a killer, hell bent on victory when he sees one and the man with the black shirt, black and turquoise chaps, and the black cowboy hat is the definition of it.

    And Shane wants to meet him.

    Or: when Shane Hollander, rodeo prince, is infatuated with the Russian newcomer who is dead set on snatching his crown

    Summary

    Ilya feels like he knows everything and nothing about Shane at once. He's a child of Nike, his team always wins Capture-the-flag, he's still in touch with his biological father, and he's obscenely lucky.

    What he doesn't know, is if Shane is the best or the worst person to quest with.

    //
    Aristotle's qualifications for a Greek tragedy include dianoia (thought and introspection) and opsis (spectacle and performance). Shane and Ilya bring both to the table.
