    Summary

    The problem is, no one knows how to market Ilya Rozanov's (in his own words) sexy Euro masculinity to an audience of white straight men.

    He needs the best. And if it happens to be his secret lovers' mother who despises his very existence, so be it.

    Summary

    Wiebe could tell he was wearing Ilya down, but he still looked nervous. "Ilya," Ilya stilled. To his team he was always Rozanov or Roz or Rozy, never Ilya. "You're our guy. There's nobody I'd rather be our captain, to lead this team to another Stanley Cup. It's clear you don't like the guy, but we both know how good this could be."

    Ilya jerked his head in a nod. "We will destroy everyone, this is true." Wiebe seemed satisfied. Ilya stood to leave and delivered one last look at Wiebe "But I do not have to be happy about it."

    ***
    Shane and Ilya are estranged for years after Tuna Meltdown. Then Shane confuses everyone by signing with the Raiders.

    Summary

    Connor Storrie is an omega preschool teacher; Hudson Williams is an alpha tech millionaire.

    They keep getting into fights because Hudson won’t accept that his son Shane has autism, obviously.

    (…and definitely not because of the sexual tension).

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is hockey’s closeted golden boy with everything to hide. Ilya Rozanov is a professional Dom with everything to lose and an expired visa.

    Through their arrangement at a discreet Montreal kink bar, where NDAs protect secrets and sessions are charged per hour, they discover the most dangerous thing isn’t being caught—it’s wanting more than those hours allow.

    Summary

    Shane’s heart drops into his stomach. “Ilya,” he breathes. His vision goes blurry, throat tight. He tries to swallow it down and focus, shove his swirling thoughts into a neat little box, but it’s impossible. He feels—he might throw up, actually. “Are you seriously telling me you tried to fucking kill yourself?”

    “Yes,” Ilya agrees blandly, “It did not work.”

    Ilya calls Shane from the hospital. Shane handles it very normally.

    Summary

    It happens against Montreal, because of course it does.

    Shane Hollander has accumulated hundreds of penalty minutes across his career, same as every other hockey player, but none have ever been from fighting.

    That is until a bad hit by his former teammates leaves his husband laid out on the ice and a comment that crosses the line has Shane dropping his gloves for the first (and hopefully last) time.

    Summary

    “Good to see you,” Kip said, pushing his glasses up his nose once Scott set him down, “did Shane put you to work today?”

    “A little,” Scott said, “but I didn’t mind.”

    He caught Shane smiling at them then, that soft, unguarded grin that only ever appeared when Shane was watching people he trusted, and Scott saw the thought forming there now - the same one that surfaced every time they were all together like this these days. How strange it was that this was where things had landed. None of them had ever aimed for this, exactly, and yet here they were, settled into it all the same.

    Scott had assumed that Kip would want a little time alone with him when he arrived. Kip, apparently, disagreed.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander only meant to attend a few hockey games — a small act of rebellion against the boyfriend who controlled every part of his life. But that night changes everything. The arena becomes a refuge, Rose becomes a friend, and the Montreal Metros become the first place he’s felt safe in years.

    No one knows he’s living with domestic violence.
    No one knows he’s planning to run.
    No one knows how much he’s breaking.

    And no one expects him to fall for Ilya Rozanov — the loud, brilliant, closeted Russian winger recently traded under suspicious circumstances.

    Ilya has secrets he can’t share, a past he can’t escape, and feelings he doesn’t know how to handle.

    Shane is learning how to live again.
    Ilya is learning how to feel again.
    Both are learning how to trust.

    But when the truth about their pasts threatens to surface, they’ll have to decide whether they can face it together — or lose each other trying.

    ----------------------------------------

    Or: A story about healing, found family, and the terrifying, beautiful risk of choosing love after surviving what was meant to break you.

    Summary

    “Svetlana likes you very much.”
    “Oh.” Shane rubbed his fingers on a napkin, looking back up at the TV. “That’s nice…”
    Ilya studied him, leisurely sliding a bite of his tuna melt in his mouth. “You like them? Girls?”
    “Yeah, sure.” Shane felt himself answering too quickly, Ilya’s gaze roaming over his profile. He straightened, placing the napkin neatly on the coffee table. “Of course I do.”
    Ilya’s face spread into a slow grin. “I have told you already. You are a very bad liar.”
    Shane flushed, his head whipping towards Ilya. “I’m not lying!” His eyes seared into Ilya’s smug gaze, something thick filling his throat. Shane pushed it down, forcing his voice to settle, eyes flicking back to the TV. “Give me her number then.”

    OR

    An alternate take on Episode 4, where instead of Shane trying things out with Rose, he makes a bet with Ilya over who can bed Svetlana better instead. Followed by them both acting very normal and non-insane about it.

    "Is this your first time with a man?"
    "Yeah. Yours?"
    "Oh—no."
    "Really?"
    "Really."
    "Who, another player?"
    He stopped. He hesitated.
    "no, my coach's son back in russia."

    Just as they begin to believe in something stable and lasting, a scandal erupts: a former Russian national team coach is exposed as a serial abuser, and images from Ilya’s past begin circulating in the media.

    Summary

     

    The wolf beneath Shane's skin is not some committed leader, intent on controlling others. Yes, his designation fits well with his need to protect those he loves. To protect innocents. But, his alpha status is not the same caliber as Ilya Rozanov's.

            In this moment, it's both good and bad news. If Ilya manages to do what his brother has tasked him with, Shane won't suffer too much in changing designations. The pride in him is attached to his accomplishments, not whether or not he can pop a knot. But on the other hand, his flexibility practically guarantees that, with enough time and effort, Ilya will succeed. They will end up permanently mated. All because Shane couldn't sleuth stealthily enough.

    Or, Agent Shane Hollander gets caught, cover blown. It's up to Ilya, their confidential informant, to save him. But will the price be worth it?

    Summary

    Shane is still learning that he doesn't have to be perfect in his own relationship. Ilya is still learning the rules of Shane's bad days. So when Shane tries to push him away after a crushing loss, it leads to a tense argument. But ten years of rivalry are no match for Shane’s tears; the second he starts to cry, Ilya folds like a house of cards.

    Or: Shane tries to starve himself as punishment for losing, Ilya tries to feed him, and it turns into a very soft night of pampering because Ilya is legally incapable of staying angry at a crying Shane.

    or: The whole world thinks Shane is gay because of some stupid internet rumors, and he doesn't even have to confirm it. He's losing control of his entire life and he needs somewhere to put what little he does have.

    Summary

    Ilya huffed. He had a decision to make.

    “Shane,” Ilya said. He set his eyes on the shiny shoes poking out beneath Shane’s death grip. “Would you like me or Rose Landry?” He braced himself for the answer, for Shane to narrow his eyes, spit in his face, and leave him in the cold.

    Instead, a gentle hand landed on Ilya’s elbow.

    Or

    Ilya spots Shane in the club. Shane spots Ilya. *Big feelings ensue.
