Summary
Shrugging one shoulder far more casually than he possibly feels, Ilya says, “I like both. Is secret, okay?”
“Okay,” Hollander says, voice cracking.
He doesn’t say anything else. The air’s so heavy around them that it feels like being in the middle of a scrum, the weight and heat of all those bodies pressing down on you. Danger always feels like hockey; it’s the most dangerous thing Ilya knows, except for this. Everything dangerous in his life involves men’s bodies and just how close he can get to them. Closer than he probably should.
A year after mysteriously dropping out of the 2009 draft, Shane Hollander is signed by the Boston Raiders, right behind Ilya Rozanov. Having the two biggest stars in the league on the same line is great for Boston — but playing alongside their worst rival was never exactly in Shane or Ilya's plans. Especially not when staying away from each other starts to feel just as impossible as getting along.

Summary
Alone in a hotel room in Denver, after a mediocre game they won no thanks to his distracted playing, Shane sits on the edge of the bed and chews on his thumbnail. He and Ilya have made a promise to each other, too. But Shane doesn’t quite know where to place this promise in the series of promises that have made up his life so far.
[A reimagining of Shane and Ilya’s big fight and subsequent conversations about mental health in The Long Game. Shane reckons with his childhood, his relationship to food, and how to decide to be brave for someone you love.]

Summary
“There’s no need to help. Everything is fine,” Ilya tries to reassure him and wraps his arms around Shane’s waist, pulling him closer. “Come here. Give me a kiss.”
Give me a kiss.
The words echo loudly inside his head.
It’s not how he used to say it.
Back when words didn’t come so easily and back when he was too scared to ask for what he wanted, everything was simpler and smaller.
OR: As Ilya's English gets better, his Russian gets a little rusty. So, he has a crisis about it.
