    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov's life takes an unexpected turn when a deadly plane crash in 2021 takes his life, right after a fight with his long-time partner, Shane Hollander. Though instead of the afterlife, Ilya is sent back to December 2008, just before his NHL career began, on the very day that he first met Shane. He finds himself in a familiar world, with knowledge of both the future and knowledge of the man he loves and the friends he holds dear.

    As Ilya navigates this new reality, he rebuilds his relationship with Shane, who is still finding his path in both hockey and his identity as a gay man. With their rivalry blossoming into a different experience than the one Ilya experienced the first time around, the two face challenges around acceptance, family pressures, and the struggles of being openly gay and lovers in the sports world. Throughout their journey, Ilya contemplates his first life, cherishes the present, and strives to alter the course of their futures (and the futures of their friends) for the better.

    Or, Ilya Rozanov discovers first hand what the butterfly effect is, and how it can drastically alter the future.

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov’s college life was going smoothly until he received those handwritten letters. Letters that were oddly similar to his own handwritings. Letters claiming to be from his future self.

    Ilya could’ve sworn this was some prank that his roommate was playing on him but things got a bit too real when those letters could actually predict what would happen next in his life.

    What’s worse was that this "future Ilya" kept telling the current Ilya to save his husband from a big tragedy. Of course, the husband turned out to be the campus’ heartthrob band member, Shane Hollander, whom Ilya has never interacted with at all.

    Ilya sighed in frustration, “Hollander, listen to me. I know this is hard to believe but trust me, please. These letters from my future self keeps telling me to save you and-”

    “Okay,” Shane nodded.

    Ilya blinked, “What?”

    “I said okay. Whatever it is, I'll trust you.”

    Or Ilya got these sudden letters appearing on his desk every night, claiming to be from his future self and telling him to save a certain person called “Shane Hollander”, who turned out to be Ilya’s future husband.
