    Summary

    Shane Hollander excels at everything--

    Sports, sarcasm, and most of his subjects.

    When he realizes he needs an additional elective for his degree plan, he chooses Music theory. How hard could it be?

    Short answer: It's the hardest subject he's ever taken.
    Long answer: It's the hardest subject he's ever taken and he's the hardest he's ever fucking been, all thanks to a certain Russian professor.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander shows up to university excited for another year of being the best at what he does. Unfortunately, the man who beat him at last year's World Prospect Cup is also there, and Ilya Rozanov hasn't gotten any less annoying. Or any worse at hockey.

    Now if only Shane could focus on the ice, and stop thinking about nice hands, pretty lips, and the sound of his name in a Russian accent.

    OR: They play together in college, and discoveries are made.

    Summary

    The air up here was disrespectful.

    That was the first thing Kip Grady noticed when he stepped out of his dad’s beat-up Honda Civic. The air in Brooklyn had texture. It had weight. It smelled like hot asphalt, exhaust fumes, and the specific, comforting garbage funk of a Tuesday afternoon. You knew where you stood with Brooklyn air.

    The air here—four hours north, deep in the "Upstate" wilderness of the university—was suspicious. It was too thin. It smelled like pine needles and aggression. It smelled like people who hiked for fun.

    Or:
    Eighteen-year-old Kip is figuring out student life and developing a massive crush on his History professor, Scott Hunter - whose books may or may not have inspired Kip to major in History.

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov thought he had Harvard figured out: smart friends, good connections, and a life that balanced privilege with humility. But all of that changes the moment he meets Shane Hollander—his best friend’s younger brother.

    Shane is nothing like Gray Hollander: kind, talented, and effortlessly brilliant, with a charm that makes Ilya rethink everything he thought he knew about friendship, attraction, and ambition.

    Summary

    “I’m putting in a transfer request to Carleton this afternoon.”

    Ilya gets off his bike and wraps his sweaty arms around Shane’s sweaty shoulders, presses their sweaty heads together and holds him tight. “Nooo, Hollander, you cannot leave me. Who will put Barrett and Marly in time out when they fuck up too many shots in a row?”

    “I’m sure Bood will do it. He loves bossing people around.”

    Bood stands up straight and salutes his captains. “I take the title with great honor. Enjoy the Ravens, Hollander—your legacy of being a chaste Victorian debutante will be remembered fondly but not carried on.”

    This snaps that last thread of Shane’s refined patience. “I can pick up girls! I have no problem getting numbers and calling them and talking!”

    Hazy smirks. “Innocent until proven guilty.”

    “I can pick people up,” Shane says again, moving off his bike and out of Ilya’s sweaty embrace. “And I don’t have to do it by concocting schemes or stripping on top of the LAX bros’ coffee table.”

    Or, after some team chirping at Shane's expense, Ilya accidentally interrupts a few of his potential dating prospects and then keeps on doing it less than accidentally
