    Summary

    “Holy shit,” Barrett yelps. “The Metros plane went down.”
    The room comes to a stop, the buzzing energy of a win quieting, but Ilya barely hears him, still too caught up on Shane messaging him through Instagram. They have barely talked since their fight. What could he have to say on Instagram of all places?
    … What did Barrett say?
    Ilya blinks.
    A plane went down. The Metros plane?
    That cannot be true. Ilya must have heard wrong.
    _____

    Instead of Ilya’s plane going down after their Boxing Day fight, it’s Shane’s. Ilya breaks down in the locker room, assuming the worst. When he finds out Shane is alive, his next assumption is that Shane will be mad at him for outing their relationship to the Centaurs. The team helps him get to Shane though, and all of his fears are put to rest.

    Summary

    If Ilya was hurt, Shane would be the last one to find anything out, because on paper, they were nothing to each other. Less than nothing. Officially, they hated each other.

    The thought of Ilya in that position—trapped on the other side of a locked hospital door, frantic, blind, and treated like an intrusive stranger—made his stomach twist with a violent wave of unease.

    He couldn’t do that to him. He wouldn't.

    OR

    In a moment of impulsivity, Shane makes Ilya his legal healthcare proxy. When he's injured in the infamous Boston game, it takes everyone (including Ilya) by surprise.

    Summary

    It was no secret that Shane Hollander loved one thing and one thing only, which was hockey. He spent his free time reading hockey books and watching game tape. He had an entire synthetic rink built at his cottage. He had an encyclopedic knowledge of every hockey stat from the modern era. It was so obvious - the reason he hadn’t fallen in love yet was because he needed to be with another hockey player, someone who cared about the game just as much as he did. Or, at least, almost as much as he did. Hayden didn’t know if there was anyone in the universe that loved it as much as Shane.

    And, thankfully, there were twenty-three professional women hockey players in their city!! Sure, that didn’t sound like a lot, especially when you factored in how many of them were probably single, but it was better than nothing! Now he just had to figure out how to get Shane to spend some quality time with the Victoire players. How hard could that possibly be?

    OR

    Hayden tries to set Shane up with PWHL players. Instead of a girlfriend, Shane finds community and the support he needs to go after the man of his dreams.
