    Summary

    The queer NHL players (begrudgingly) unite via group chats in the face of social media scandals.

    These stories take place on a (slightly loose) chronological timeline and make the most sense when read in order. However, they're all independent stories/scandals and can be read as standalones.

    All stories take place post TLG and include spoilers for the books.

    They have spent nine years almost. Almost together, almost over it, almost ready to say the thing neither of them has said. Then one night changes everything and almost stops being an option.

    Summary

    Liliya squirms slightly as he slides her tiny arms into the sleeves, her face scrunching in mild protest. "I know, I know," Shane murmurs, smiling faintly. "Not your favourite thing." He glances briefly at the phone, then back to her. "Maybe one day," he says quietly, "we can show this to your papa."

    There's a subtle shift in the room. Yuna's smile falters just slightly. David, standing nearby, looks down for a moment before composing himself.

    Shane doesn't stop. "This is the day you came home," he tells her. "The first day of the rest of our lives kiddo." His fingers are careful as he buttons the cardigan, adjusting it so it sits just right.

    "I think he'd like to see this,” he adds softly.

    Or, Shane and Ilya sleep together the day they meet in December 2008. Shane ends up pregnant. Ilya has no idea, it’s only when their daughter is diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder that Shane realises he has no choice but the break the silence between them.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander gives too much. Ilya Rozanov leaves too soon. For years, they've been the fixed points in each other's orbit: a romantic and a cynic locked in a battle of wills. After a particularly brutal night, their friends make them a bet: for three months, Ilya can't ghost anyone, and Shane can't chase someone who isn't all in.

    What begins as a stupid game to expose each other's flaws quickly becomes a fragile, intimate truce. In the quiet spaces between arguments and hookups, they start being people. But the rules of the bet don't account for falling in love, and as the deadline looms, they're left with a choice: be the person they were, or become the person they were when they were together.
