Summary
At the rink, during the games, Ilya is focused, his goal is clear, and he is locked in on it.
When he’s out of the ice, Ilya feels like a lion in a cage, like he’s pacing around an enclosure that is too small, too tight, too stifling as he counts down the days until the next Raiders’ game against the Metros.
***
Or, after the tuna melt incident and the game that followed, Ilya decides to give Shane some time to cool off before he reaches out.(A continuation of “Love’s the Death of Peace of Mind”, but can be read as a stand-alone).

Summary
He thought he’d pulled it off. He thought he got away with it.
Ilya just wanted more time.
He just wanted the opportunity to pause a bit, to take his time with Shane’s body other than in the confines of a dark hotel room, and to get to see a bit more of Shane’s intriguing mind. He thought it might help quench the unexplained thirst for him, that he has for no one else.

Summary
Ilya loves sex.
Because it’s the most natural, pleasurable activity that any two (or more) consenting adults can engage into that doesn’t come with a defined process, or a one-size-fits-all way of doing it. It’s a dialogue, a very unique give and take between the people involved, a creative, singular experience each time.
He also never repeats sexual encounters with anyone.
There are two exceptions to that rule. Svetlana, and Shane Hollander.***
or: Ilya tries to understand why Shane Hollander has managed to become a rare exception to his rule.Set right pre-tuna melt, and sets the scene to their meeting at Ilya's.
Edit: can be read as a standalone, but now included in a series, as a prologue to my pieces on the tuna melt incident and its aftermath from both their POV

“Yet each man kills the thing he loves
By each let this be heard
Some do it with a bitter look
Some with a flattering word
The coward does it with a kiss
The brave man with a sword.”Oscar Wilde, The Ballad of Reading Gaol

Summary
Ilya used to not miss anything when he returned to Moscow during the off-season. He was standing in a convenience store, some July day in 2015, flipping through the newsstand, when it hit him that he didn’t particularly care about anything going on there. He was counting down the days before he could get on his flight back to Boston, as if there was anything there to greet him on his return. Maybe it wasn’t Boston he was missing. The realization is not welcome.
“Do you think you will stay in Boston?” Shane asks, stroking Ilya’s upper arm. His touch is soft. Ilya wants it endlessly.

Summary
Shane Hollander only goes to the café near the rink because his daughter loves the hot chocolate.
The fact that Ilya Rozanov remembers Louise’s order, gives her free cookies, and looks suspiciously happy whenever they walk in is completely irrelevant.
Louise, however, seems to think the barista would fit perfectly into their little family.

Summary
~And from your lips, he drew the Hallelujah
Ilya Rozanov leaves Boston and signs with Ottawa, trying to fight a slow slide into emptiness and find meaning in his life again. Shane Hollander is a lonely, struggling artist who lost his spark. When they meet by chance, they both have to decide what's worth living for.
Or…Shane never gets the chance to become a pro hockey player, so they meet a little later in life. Basically, they’re both sad boys, but the healing will be worth it. More baggage, fewer hangups.
~You see I used to live alone before I knew ya.
——————————————————
“So maybe we would have played together,” Ilya said.
“Yeah. Maybe we would have been rivals,” Shane said, and that got a grin out of him. He couldn’t quite imagine it, but he thought that would have been fun, facing off against Ilya Rozanov. In another life.
Ilya nodded slowly. “And yet here we are, meeting anyway. Maybe we were meant to.”

Summary
“What? Hollander too scared to face me?” Ilya chirps, because if he goes another minute without at least mentioning the man that has been consuming his every thought for two weeks he might go insane. He needs someone else to acknowledge his existence, his absence, to fucking tell him what’s going on so he can finally get it off his mind. It’s just a stupid mystery. That’s why it bugs him.
And then Hayden Pike looks up. Dark bruised circles under his eyes, face pale like a sheet, eyes red rimmed and puffy like he has been crying all day. The face of a man mourning.
Ilya feels like the ice might crack under him. Something’s wrong with Shane.
***
Set pre-Tuna melt: something has happened to Shane Hollander, but of course no one is telling his life long rival what happened.
