    Summary

    Ilya is one failed exam away from being sent back to Russia, so when Svetlana offers him a cache of old chemistry assignments in exchange for going on a blind double-date, he takes the deal.

    He expects it to be agonizing. He doesn't expect Shane, a shy hockey player who is so sweet, earnest, and infuriatingly cute that Ilya is ready to throw his "no relationships" rule completely out the window.

    Group: UBC Rideshare

    Looking for a Co-Driver

    UBC student looking for someone to share the drive to Ottawa.

    I have a 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan. You must be comfortable driving six to eight hours at a time while I sleep, and I'll do the same for you.

    Requirements:

    • Clean driving record. No tickets or other driving infractions.
    • No excessive speeding while you're driving my vehicle.
    • I'm fine with listening to audiobooks, podcasts, or music, provided the volume stays low. Country music is not an option.

    Message me if you're interested, and include your driving experience.

    OR: Shane and Ilya take a road trip

    Summary

    Canada’s golden boy Shane Hollander gets drafted to the Ottawa Centaurs and ends up sharing an apartment - and way too much tension - with his captain, Ilya Rozanov. A private contract keeps their arrangement “simple,” but jealousy, soft moments, and one kiss he can’t forget makes pretending impossible. On the ice they’re electric, but off it, they’re one breath away from breaking.

    Summary

    Continuation of episode 4/the club scene:

    “If I was dancing with you,” Ilya crowds Shane against the wall, hands coming up against the wall caging Shane in. “Would you let me push boring shirt up and run my hands all over you.” He leans in closer, ducking his head to look Shane straight on. He can feel Ilya’s breath on his face, the smell of vodka on his tongue.

    Shane’s heart is racing. It’s been so long since he’s been this close to Ilya off the ice. They’ve gone longer, but for some reason it’s felt like an eternity.

    “What are you…”

    “Would you tip your head back from the feeling of my hands running over your body?” He leans in further till his lips are ghosting over Shane’s ear, sending a shiver down his spine. “Would you let me kiss you? Suck on your neck?”

    “Rozanov,” Shane says as a warning that doesn’t carry one ounce of authority because it sounds more like a whimper than anything else.

    They shouldn’t be doing this. Shane shouldn’t be doing this. He left Ilya’s house that day for a reason.

    Shane has a girlfriend.

    They can’t be doing this.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander knows three things:
    Ilya is off‑limits, the kiss should’ve never happened, and ignoring it didn’t make it go away.

    Now he’s freshly graduated with one last summer before leaving for NYU - one last summer to keep his head down, avoid old feelings, and pretend he’s totally fine. But after months of radio silence, Ilya is back. And Shane is running out of excuses for why his heart still stutters every time he hears “Hollander.”

    One last summer. One unresolved kiss. One disaster waiting to happen.

    OR Ilya is Shane’s older brother’s best friend, the boy he’s always drifted toward without meaning to, and now they’re stuck navigating their complicated almost‑something relationship under the same roof.
