Summary
Shane could hear the crowd, loud as always in their home barn. It felt electric tonight. He didn't usually let the emotions of the occasion affect him, but after 22 years in the MLH, having accomplished everything he could do as a professional, tonight’s send-off was too much to push all the way down into that small compartment where he could hide all he felt.
But Ilya–Shane felt physical pain in his chest every time he allowed himself to think his name. Their careers still forever tied together until Ilya’s retirement a few years ago. In the quietest of times, Shane could admit he shouldn’t have felt lonely at the top because Ilya was always right there with him. Sometimes he took solace in that, sometimes it brought pain so blinding he couldn’t breathe.
or
Shane Hollander retires from the MLH a few seasons after Ilya. They haven't actually spoken since the day Shane left in Boston. When Ilya is invited to participate in Shane's retirement ceremony, will they take the opportunity to confront the feelings they have long buried but kept sacred or are they still just two stars passing in the night?

Summary
Shane would always be yearning for something with a man who didn't want him, wouldn't he? A little positive attention and he'd folded like origami. Pathetic.
"Stay," Rozanov said. It sounded like pleading. That trick had worked on him, once.
“Why?" Shane's tone was more biting than he intended. "What do you think is going to happen if I stay? Are you gonna make me a goddamned tuna melt?”
Rozanov, to his credit, took the words like the blow they were. His eyes widened, then he covered his face with his palms and muttered something in Russian.
Shane had never seen shame written across those features before.
In April 2017, Shane Hollander suffers the most painful not-breakup he’ll ever experience. Months later, he's outed. Two years after that, a broken knee ends his career.
When Rozanov unexpectedly crosses Shane's path four years later, Shane resolves to be courteous yet keep his distance. But Ilya is just as beautiful and charming as he ever was, and he’s determined to give what they'd once shared a second chance. A real chance.
It's a bad idea. Shane knows it's a bad idea.
The terrifying thing is that it doesn't feel like one.

Summary
Henry Fox came to New York for a fresh start — a new city, a new chapter, and his five-year-old son Jamie’s hand in his. Falling in love wasn’t part of the plan. Especially when it didn’t work out the first time by any means.
Jamie had been obsessed with Alex Claremont-Diaz since the first night in New York when he was introduced to American football. Leave it to Pez to get them on the field to meet him.
What Henry doesn’t expect is the way Alex looks at both of them — like they’re something worth keeping.

Summary
Ilya hasn’t let go of her since they had entered the room. She’s bundled up in a threadbare burgundy sweater, sucking the tip of Ilya’s thumb, since she wouldn’t take a pacifier.
The little boy, sits in the corner of the office, oblivious to it all, rolling toy cars back and forward across the floor, making vroom vroom noises.-------
Ilya and Shane have signed up to be foster parents, and receive a call about an emergency placement.
