    Summary

    It started with a leak that was meant to destroy them. When two years of toxic, homophobic group chats from the Montreal Voyageurs hit the internet, the MLH responded with the one thing Shane and Ilya couldn't stomach: silence.

    While Commissioner Roger Crowell plays politics and the media circus reaches a fever pitch, the Co-Captains decide they are done playing by the "Gold Standard" rules. With the help of Harris and Sarah, and a pair of ruthless burner accounts, Shane and Ilya wage a digital guerrilla war that rattles the league to its core.

    But when the Voyageurs retaliate by targeting their private life and their home, the "Steady Anchor" finally snaps. Shane Hollander is tired of being professional. He’s tired of being a "marketing stunt." And he’s about to show the world that while Ilya might be the menace, a protective Shane is the most dangerous mastermind in hockey.

    From the hostile ice of the Bell Centre to a high-stakes showdown in a Manhattan boardroom, the Co-Captains aren't just playing for a win anymore—they're playing for the soul of the game.

    The "Standard" is dead. Long live the Co-Captains.

    Summary

    "I'm calling it 'Adopt a Stray,'" Cliff announced, pacing the rug. "Tomorrow night. Boston vs. Montreal. We announce a new 'tradition.' We say that Boston has noticed that not every team is as close as ours. We say we’re looking for 'strays'—players who aren’t really accepted by their team, always seem an outcast, that need a little extra team bonding or whatever. And the first 'stray' we’re adopting? Is Shane Hollander."

    Summary

    Shane knows the plan to wait to come out until they retire isn't ideal, but he doesn't have a better one. He thinks that he and Ilya can make it work, until his mom points out how long they will have to live their lives in the shadows.

    But once he realizes that, he immediately knows that he can't come out. It would ruin his legacy.

    He's pretty sure that's why he doesn't want to come out. No other reason. Right?

    He is sure that's all it is until Ilya asks him if he would be safe if he came out. And he can't answer.

    Summary

    What if Shane Hollander got on his knees in a dirty club bathroom in LA, and got more than an orgasm out of it? What if he also made a friend who helped him stand up for himself?
    What if Ilya Rozanov had his very own pet dinosaur?
    What if Scott and Kip met differently?
    What if the queer NHL hockey players found each other sooner, and had each other's backs?
    What if they didn't have to navigate self-discovery, queer love, and homophobia on their own, and what if they all got to come out on their own terms?
    ___
    A funny, sweet, and (briefly!) angsty story about unexpected connections and the power of queer friendship. Told through characters' POVs and text history.

    Summary

    Anyway, Shane didn't remember exactly what was in the folder ... But he knew they were all good shots of him.

    He hastily clicked open the folder, his eyes barely glancing through the dozen or so shots there, vaguely registering a picture with a sunset background from his condo balcony, something of him laughing, a picture of him working at his laptop with his glasses on...

    The director called him again, and he shook his head, the photos blurring. Whatever. It would have to do.

    He clicked "select all," then the messages icon, then Rozanov's name. Hit send.

    ----

    Or: When never-hooked-up Shane and Ilya have to collaborate on a league charity project, Shane accidentally sends Ilya a nude.
