    Summary

    A while back, shortly before the Rideau Canal in Ottawa closed for the season I saw a picture on Threads of someone skating at like 2 am. And yeah, the canal is clearly open 24 hours…so got this idea in my head. As one does.

    And so here we are.

    This is also kind of an Ottawa shout out because the fact the show takes part in my part of the world? Amazing.

    Summary

    A rookie stands in front of him now, stick clutched in both hands like it is the only thing keeping him upright. There are more of them behind him, hovering, whispering, staring like Shane might vanish if they blink too long.

    “Will you sign my stick?” the rookie squeaks.

    Shane’s brain immediately and completely malfunctions.

    Summary

    A Heated Rivalry - Titanic mash-up.

    Shane Hollander studies at Cambridge to learn the ropes of managing his father’s timber empire. He quickly speaks the language of business, but struggles with the unspoken words and quiet whispers in wealth and society.
    Ilya Rozanov is sent against his will on a mission to restore his family’s name, one of the greatest households of the Russian Empire, after a scandal carefully swept under the rug.
    Aboard the Titanic, the unsinkable ship, they embark on a journey to discover the power of bonds formed in cigar rooms and private cabins. And this is just the tip of the iceberg.

    Summary

    “Am I a bad friend?”

    Hayden has always been the guy Shane joked with, the guy he trusted to feed him without mocking him, the guy he roomed with on the road, and Shane is the only man who has ever seen Hayden cry, and Hayden loves Shane. He fucking loves him. They are like brothers, and they have been for almost ten fucking years. He’s always been Shane’s guy, Shane’s best friend.

    Except all along, maybe that wasn’t true. Ilya Rozanov, apparently, had been the guy. Before Hayden had ever met Shane, Ilya Rozanov had been there. And Hayden had never even noticed.

    Shane is all over every inch of Hayden’s life. Hayden thought that was reciprocal.

    “You know I think about you all the time,
    And my deep misunderstanding of your life,
    And how bad it must have been for you back then,
    And how hard it was to keep it all inside.”
