    Summary

    Before the 6 months of silence post Sochi, there was the dismissal of any significance of anything Shane and Ilya might had between them.
    Shane Hollander decides he is tired of waiting for a certain Russian lover to give his life meaning. He travels with his mother to visit his Obasan one last time before she passes. There he is introduced the Japanese tattoo art of Irezumi. The flowing lines, deep dark colours and sense of solidarity he experiences with his heritage bring him an inner peace he only ever found after letting Rozanov into his bed.
    What follows is a journey of half Asian man finding his roots, delving into the subcultures in his mother’s homeland and bone-deep satisfaction he gets going into a sub space like trance with every coloured artwork he adds to his body.
    Nobody sees at first – he is good at getting in early and getting on his compression gear before anyone comes in.
    He is good at being the last one to leave after a game, citing tape, coach discussions, media et al
    Until somebody he isn’t quite sure deserves it, gets a glimpse and then almost demands more.
    And through this journey Shane discovers that he can’t quit Ilya
    And that is his problem to bear

    Summary

    Once upon a time, Ilya had put a pretty girl in the passenger seat of his Porsche and fingered her while he pushed 120 down the interstate. He’d kissed drunk boys in seedy European clubs. He’d been impossibly hot, impossibly cool.

    Moreover, he was impossibly ill-prepared for the dizzying experience of being Shane Hollander’s boyfriend. Because Shane was turning out to be a really good boyfriend, the kind that quietly handled expensive restaurant checks, the kind that made soup when he was sick and held open his coat for him.

    Ilya basically had no choice but to get hard about it.

    Or: a 5+1 of Ilya versus Shane’s boyfriendisms, told over the years.

    Summary

    “We should- we should go.” Shane rose. He found himself tugging at Ilya’s arm, but he wasn’t moving. "This isn't-"

    “Shane, shut the fuck up.” Ilya said.

    “Hey-”

    Rozanov grabbed Shane’s face and forced his eyes back on the rink.

    “Holy shit.”

    It was all Shane could say. There, taking laps for an adoring crowd, was Ilya Rozanov.

    Shane Hollander would never admit this, not even under oath, but the first thing he noticed when he saw 32 year-old Ilya Rozanov, was that he looked really, really hot. He was entirely, spectacularly gorgeous.

    The second thing, the one far more pertinent, was that he was wearing black and red.

    “You get traded to Ottawa.” Shane uttered.

    “No-”

    Shane darted between the Rozanov circling the rink and the Rozanov beside him.

    “What the fuck did you do?” Shane asked.

    Summary

    “Were you thinking of also bringing clothes?” Shane asked, glancing into Ilya’s suitcase.

    “Do you think we will need them?”

    “I’m just saying you might want the option of going outside,” Shane said, dropping a kiss on Ilya’s shoulder and wandering into the closet.

    Ilya was obviously going to pack clothing, he just had priorities. Like making sure their whole sex toy collection would fit into his suitcase, not to mention two of the biggest bottles of lube he’d been able to find.

    “Take the batteries out of anything that vibrates,” Shane called. Ilya rolled his eyes. What was he, an amateur? “Do you think I should bring two pairs of walking shoes or is one enough?”

    “How many walking tours are we going on?”

    “I don’t know.”

    “How do you not know? What have you been doing for the past month?”

    “Research! But I didn’t book anything yet in case we decide we want to just sit by the pool for ten days instead.”
