    Summary

    “Why did you come?”

    Shane scoffs. “Well, you told me to.”

    Ilya’s short laugh is genuine. “No, I mean – why did you come to Vancouver? It’s your day off, no?”

    or: Shane can't stop thinking about Ilya's reserved seats always being empty, so he jumps on a plane to be there. It does things to Ilya. Turns out that they both have far too many feelings about being there for each other, and sometimes the only way they can communicate that is through messy sex.

    Summary

    Hollander is always a bit like that, in increments. He takes every loss personally – every missed shot, every empty netter, every failed pass. He could stand to get out of his head for a while.

    It would be good, Ilya thinks, for him to calm down.

    To sit and relax, maybe.

    Summary

    Morals Clause: A contract provision that may be used in endorsement, spokesperson, and similar agreements to give the advertiser the right to terminate the deal, seek damages, or remove branding if the individual engages in actions bringing disrepute, scandal, or negative attention, protecting the brand's image and financial interests.

    Yuna does her research—apparently, a morals clause is common, in contracts like this.

    It bothers her, a little, how vague it is, but ultimately, she doesn’t see an issue with it—at least, not really.

    Shane is many things, and she is so, so excited to see how much more he becomes… but, for all of the many things she imagines in his future, she doesn't think he's capable of doing anything that could be accurately described as scandalous.

    She's wrong.

    Summary

    In which Ilya perceives Shane a little more than he’s allowed to, so Shane uses the tried and true Ilya Rozanov™ method of deflecting with sex.

    Set ambiguously sometime in episode 4 just before the tuna melt scene.

    Summary

    Urgent missive from Napoleon to his wife Josephine: Home in three days. Don’t wash.

    “I’ve been thinking about what I want as a reward if you win,” Ilya says, stroking along the skin of Shane’s arm.

    Shane snorts into Ilya’s curls.

    “If I’m winning, why are you getting the reward?”

    Ilya stops his caressing and gives Shane a light smack.

    “Because I am your boyfriend now, not just a hookup. This comes with privileges.”

    “Oh yeah?” Shane rolls his eyes where Ilya can’t see him.

    “Yes. Like when you get awards, you must say I could not do this without support from my team, my coaches, and my partner. It’s me, the partner.”

    “Fine, fine,” Shane acquiesces, “What does my supportive partner want as his reward for my win?”
