    Summary

    Shane’s preferences are simple: older, rougher, married men who lie to their wives and gone before morning.

    Ilya Rozanov is nineteen, Russian, and already moving into his dorm.

    Cue in covert hookups, stupidly questionable life choices, and a rookie who stares at Shane like he’s a particularly fascinating bug under a microscope.

    Now he has to explain why he keeps getting texts from "Mr. Chicago" while trying to teach this kid how to use the campus laundry without melting his sweaters.

    Campus life promised new experiences. It failed to mention the experience of being psychologically dissected over instant ramen by a stupidly handsome blond Russian who hasn't blinked in seven minutes.

    This fic is finished! You can binge-read it now 😁

    Before reading this I thought I wouldn't be so interested in toxic patterns. Absolutely beautiful and warm fic. Love this.

    So romantically and subtly approached. Enjoyed it so much. Would like to read again.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander wakes up in a hospital room convinced it’s 2016 — and that Ilya Rozanov is still his biggest rival, someone he’s supposed to hate.
    But the world has changed. It’s 2025. They play for the same team, live in the same house, and Ilya Rozanov is wearing a wedding ring.
    Now Shane has to relive nine lost years, learn to trust his ‘enemy,’ and find out whether he can fall in love with his own husband all over again.
