  2. Summary

    My little-worlded self! the shadows pass
    In this thy sister-world, as in a glass,
    Of all processions that revolve in thee:
    Not only of cyclic Man
    Thou here discern'st the plan,
    Not only of cyclic Man, but of the cyclic Me.
    Not solely of Mortality's great years
    The reflex just appears,
    But thine own bosom's year, still circling round
    In ample and in ampler gyre
    Toward the far completion, wherewith crowned,
    Love unconsumed shall chant in his own furnace-fire.

    excerpt, “from the night of forebeing” - francis thompson

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov wakes up in a future where he is openly bisexual and married. This would be great news, except for the part where moments ago he was in 2014 where he was many things: recent Stanley Cup champion, star of the Raiders, the sluttiest man in Boston, a Russian citizen with a father who is alive, and also absolutely, definitely, 100% not in love with Shane Hollander.

    And why the hell is he wearing a Centaurs jersey?

    Ilya Hollander-Rozanov wakes up in the past, and he really, really would like to go home to his husband.

    Summary

    In his efforts to become the best captain possible, Shane accidentally cultivates among his teammates a debilitating praise kink.

    (Or, the unforeseen consequences of prolonged and repeated exposure to Shane Hollander's beautiful big brown bottom eyes, and its documented effects on a worrisomely increasing number of professional hockey players.)

    "I did not get it on purpose," Ilya complains.

    Summary

    “Sometimes, I wish he was a worse person,” Ilya admits one night, while he and Yuna are doing the dishes. Shane and Ilya had come over for chicken parmesan, and it had been a lovely dinner, right up until David, clearing the plates, mentioned that he had met a guy at the store the other day who was a big fan of Shane’s, had a kid who idolized him.

    David asked if Shane could sign a piece of merchandise for him, maybe record a video. Shane said yes, because he had a rule, about doing things for child fans. Now, Shane was off shooting a video while Ilya did the dishes, and Ilya already knew the way it would require Shane to drag his public face up from the depths of his stomach, the work it would take him to shed it afterwards, the way it would taint this evening.
