    Summary

    In 2003, Shane Hollander is assigned a PenPal, and gains a friend. A friend who smokes, calls him boring, and gives him ridiculous nicknames.

    Across the world, Ilya Rozanov practices his English with a curious Canadian boy whose name he can't fucking remember.

    Or, before they were Canada's Shane Hollander and Russia's Ilya Rozanov, they were Cat and Elijah. Shane has no reason to suspect his childhood PenPal is his hockey rival, and Ilya has never even considered that the man he's falling for is also the boy he already fell in love with through letters and postcards.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is a rising star in the NHL. He has a spotless public image, and a baffling habit of killing people—mostly by accident. Allegedly. Juggling professional hockey and an ever-growing body count is hard enough, but it gets trickier when Shane realizes he’s not the league’s only homicidal overachiever.

    As the bodies pile up, Shane keeps tripping over other players who also seem to treat murder as a hobby between road games. Are they rivals? Colleagues? Is there a locker-room code for serial killers, or at least a group chat?

    And then there’s Ilya Rozanov, Shane’s biggest rival on the ice. Ilya is infuriatingly competent and everything Shane despises. It’s puzzling why Shane keeps ending up naked with him, but Shane is fairly sure it’s just a case of temporary insanity that will stop any day now. Him catching feelings for Ilya? Absurd. Also, statistically speaking, the odds that Ilya is also a killer are unnervingly high.

    Summary

    "Rozy," Brian, the team doctor says, "talk to me, buddy. That puck clipped you pretty good, how’s the pain?"

    Ilya blinks. He clenches his jaw against a wave of nausea. He rests his cheek on the ice, and the cold helps a little.

    "Bad. Very bad." He swallows. "Is Shane here?"

    -

    or, in the final MTL/BOS game of the year, ilya takes a puck to the head.

    Summary

    Shane’s heart drops into his stomach. “Ilya,” he breathes. His vision goes blurry, throat tight. He tries to swallow it down and focus, shove his swirling thoughts into a neat little box, but it’s impossible. He feels—he might throw up, actually. “Are you seriously telling me you tried to fucking kill yourself?”

    “Yes,” Ilya agrees blandly, “It did not work.”

    Ilya calls Shane from the hospital. Shane handles it very normally.
