Summary
Five Conversations Yuna has with Ilya, and one conversation she has with Shane. Ch. 6: Back at the cottage.
Yuna had made checklists and organized budgets and shook coaches’ hands and learned how to negotiate and delegate and advocate, all in service of protecting and preserving Shane and this precious, enormous gift. There were a million ways for his journey to go wrong, and only one way for it to go right. She was competent, she was capable, she’d done everything right, everything by the book — and twenty years later, she feels like she didn’t rise to the moments that truly mattered. She mentored the career, at times, she did not mother the boy.
And yet Shane, a marvelous miracle all his own, had figured out those lessons anyways.

Summary
"I am asked, often and rudely, if me earning a spot on Team Canada is taking a spot from a real Canadian. I always say, very clearly and honestly, that I do not know what that means. Being Canadian, to me, is an extraordinary, peaceful miracle: A blend of Tim Horton’s coffee and pond hockey and cottage summers and looking good in a toque. It is truly valuing diversity and the freedom to be yourself, to love where you come from — and to also love your neighbor. To care for them, and to be a kind person, above all else. I cannot think of another place in the world that can balance community with individuality.
I lost my home at twenty-six, and found one in a nice Montreal boy’s earnest brown eyes and a cottage by a quiet lake in Quebec and a team of underdogs in Ottawa. I cannot think of anywhere in the world that means more to me. I cannot think of an identity that resonates more than being Canadian. I did not feel like I belonged anywhere, to anyone, until I came to Canada. I remember what not having Canada feels like. I am so proud to belong to Canada."

Ahead of the 2026 Winter Games, the Player's Tribune asks Shane and Ilya to each write a letter to Canada.

Summary
As a straight man, Ilya Rozanov has never had a gay roommate before, but it’s going pretty well. Shane Hollander is kind, silly, and an even bigger hockey nut than Ilya.
So when Shane starts bringing men over, and Ilya begins to want to bash their fucking heads in, Ilya comes to a startling conclusion: He must be homophobic.
(He’s jealous.)

Summary
Ilya is not going to steal Shane Hollander's dog. That would be illegal. And wrong. And someone would probably find out and make Ilya give him back.
So. Not stealing.
But there is nothing wrong with giving Chernysh all the pats and treats that he deserves, is there?
Nothing wrong with encouraging Chernysh to spend more and more time at Ilya's house until he doesn't even remember who Hollander is.
Because Hollander is stupid and boring and does not deserve a dog as good as Chernysh. No, he doesn't, does he? Because Chernysh is the best boy in the whole world, yes he is.

Summary
Shane is heavier than he used to be; his weight bears down on Ilya in a new way. He’s put on pounds of muscle since Ilya last touched him like this. Ilya flattens his palms, skims them under Shane’s undershirt, feels the flat solidity of his abs, the bulk of his lats, the swell of his chest. It’s the same and it’s new, this body; it’s the boy he couldn’t stop thinking about when he was 18 and the man he loved enough to let go at 26 and the person who somehow always comes to find him when he’s lost.
A stranger, and the love of his life.
—
or, Ilya's father doesn't die in 2017; Ilya breaks up with Shane instead of confessing his love. They get older, but not any less stupid about each other. Shane gets a boyfriend; Ilya gets on medication; they work on becoming whole people. And they always find their way back to each other.
OR a story for those who love Shane and Ilya's baby love but ALSO think it's hot when people in their thirties make active choices about who they are and what they want in their partner!!
Note: the "cheating" tag refers to the relationship between Shane and his aforementioned BF, not to Shane and Ilya cheating on each other.
