Description:

In the months between Sochi and Vegas 2014, Shane Hollander decides he’s done watching Ilya from a distance.
He stops waiting.
Told through alternating POV, this fic explores what happens when Shane moves on, and what it does to Ilya to realize he doesn’t get to decide where Shane stays.
It was never just sex. It was never just a game.
And when Shane finally chooses steadiness, it changes the rules.
And who is that man?

OR

Shane is trying to build something honest.
Ilya is trying not to lose him.
And the silence they used to live inside is no longer an option.

filled with angst. slow burn.
