    Summary

    This is a prequel to my love in different fonts - you do NOT need to have read/finished that to read this. It can stand alone as a short story about Jinshi & Maomao’s engagement (but you should read it, because I think it will make this more fun.)

    OR

    Jinshi’s wanted to marry her for a long time. Maomao has finally come around. They’re both eager to build a life together … and maybe also to get to their wedding night and swap virginities.

    Too bad they have to wait another six months for a particularly auspicious date to do so!

    Summary

    Kan Lan Ma, the La Clan Princess, enters the rear palace as the Worthy Consort for the Imperial Brother where she finds her path to power riddled with mysterious circumstances, strange coincidences, and sentimentality she could not understand. After having spent her life readying herself for the day she was married off, she finds the rear palace to not be what she had expected; from kind and inviting consorts to a man parading himself to be someone he is not, Maomao attempts to navigate the politics of her position.

    Summary

    Who is he?—Jinshi. Jinka. Kousen. Ka Zuigetsu. Definitely not the future Emperor. Right?

    Who is she?—The apothecary. The food taster. The lady-in-waiting. The medical assistant. Definitely not the Princess of the La clan. Right?

    ***

    Jinshi has promised Maomao something—he would remove every obstacle to be together with her. He would become a commoner for her. But the more he tries to find a way to escape his fate, the more he seems to have a noose around his neck that threatens him to be trapped forever.

    Maomao has always been good in appearing unbothered and ignoring the obvious around her to keep her neck safe. But now she gradually has to learn that she cannot be ignorant anymore, especially when it comes to her own feelings and wishes.

    Summary

    “I don’t want to leave.”

    “But you can’t stay here.”

    She stares at him with cold eyes, but not with indifference as she once might have. The complete opposite. She’s too invested in staying by his side to simply accept what he proposes and walk away. She keeps her hands folded in front of her, respectful in the presence of the emperor, and her head bowed low.

    “What was it all for, sir?” She asks, knowing that it’s out of line to question the Son of Heaven, but demanding answers all the same.

    He doesn’t take his eyes off her; they’re obviously pained but full of certainty, as if the unilateral decision he’s made is the right one. It’s only right in that he has the power to make it.

    “I promised you that I’d never cage you,” He says simply, although his voice is scratchy and worn down from what might have been hours of crying before this meeting. “That’s a promise that I will not break.”

    -

    Jinshi ascends as Emperor of Li. Maomao is sent away to the West. Five years pass before they meet again; they end up playing pretend, like they always do.

    Summary

    Ilya never meant for this to get so far. So big.

    It had started off with a couple hate tweets here and there. Nothing unusual, every hockey player had haters, especially ones as prominent and talented as him and Hollander.

    Ilya never listened to what people on the Internet said. Why should he care what random people behind a screen thought of him? Especially when they were Scott Hunter fans. Or worse, Pike fans.

    He thought it was the same for Shane, who barely ever used social media in the first place, let alone look up his name on them to see what people were saying about him. But Ilya was wrong.

    or

    Ilya creates a secret Shane Hollander fan account to defend his boyfriend's honor while still hating on Scott Hunter and destroying Hayden Pike

    Summary

    If someone had asked him this morning, Hayden would have begrudgingly admitted that he wasn’t quite on the Ilya bandwagon, but he was getting close to thinking about climbing aboard. He was getting closer every day, and Shane knew it.

    Which is why it was a shame Hayden was going to have to murder Ilya Rozanov.

    Summary

    Ilya laughed.

    “That bothered you?”

    ”You have no idea. Half the time I use the tiny scraps of information you give me to look them up anyway. But you’re so cryptic. You’re like,” Shane put on a little voice, “‘Ah, we might have a layover in Charlotte, but am not sure, could be Atlanta.’ Infurating.”

    ”Ok, Hollander, I will send you a calendar invite. This is seductive to you, yes?”

    —

    It’s been months since the cottage, and Shane is finally coming to visit Ilya. He hasn’t been back in Boston since the day he ran out the door saying he couldn’t do this. Ilya is spiraling, just a little, not knowing where they stand in this new and fragile thing. Boyfriends, probably. He’s never been someone’s boyfriend before.

    Summary

    “You were so cute,” Shane said, trying not to visibly react that Rozanov was closing the distance between them. He was still wearing his coat, from the outside. “What happened?” he asked, turning to Ilya.

    Ilya carefully took the picture from his hands, sliding it in a top drawer on top of folded t-shirts.

    Rozanov exhaled in a half laugh. “I am not cute anymore?”

    Summary

    “Mm, not stuff his pockets with the drug everyone thinks makes you gay right before a press conference? Maybe!” Ilya’s voice chimed happily from the phone.

    “You wanna tell us why you’re so acquainted with Rush that you can identify it in 780p, Ilya?” Kip asked.

    “…I have so much leather to deodorize, Kip Grady. So many sports cars, you know.”

    --

    Kip can't believe no one else can tell how outrageously gay Ilya Rozanov is, but he's not complaining, he's happy to have someone else to talk to at all the hockey functions.

    Or: Perfect gaydar haver Ilya Rozanov finally gets a taste of his own medicine. A series of looks into Kip and Ilya's friendship, starting after the cottage.

    Summary

    Scott doesn’t think he wants to be in some secret gay group chat with Hollander and Rozanov, but honestly, it would be kind of nice to speak to guys who got it, like really got it—the pressure to excel, the claustrophobia of locker room culture, the unending scrutiny of the press.

    Or, Scott clocks Hollanov at the 2017 All-Stars Weekend, just like he did in 2011, and this time he tries reaching out to connect with Shane.

    Summary

    Then. After the face off, after he's hit from behind, sliding across the ice, an explosion of pain and confusion. Once everything goes dark and confused, he's there, too. Il y a Ilya, il y a aucunne secondes. Il n'y a pas jamais qu'Ilya.

    There's talking, and he's being moved, strapped down, lifted, jostled carefully, rolled.

    "He's gonna worry," dribbles out of his mouth.

    "Your coach called your dad," one of the medics says calmly.

    "Not him," Shane feels slide through his teeth. "Ilya."

    Summary

    When Shane lets himself think about what it might be like at All Stars, there's a blurry gap where he's standing. Ilya will be wearing something stylish and sexy — probably a shiny shirt that makes Shane want to grab him and never let go. There's nothing Shane owns that fits in that category.

    But Reebok and Rolex have both had him work with stylists for appearances in the past. He pulls up the photos of those events, and flips through the photos. He sends them to Rose.

    Which of these is better?

    She replies to the Rolex photo with six exclamation marks.

    Shane Hollander's five rules of how to not look gay (and how he breaks them for Ilya Rozanov) + one time he doesn't have to.

    This is SO GOOD ahhhhh so well-written and in character. Clearly one of the best HR fics I’ve read. Shane’s voice is on point. And scratches the itch for a All-star Florida fix (seriously why aren’t there more of those ? Maybe because this fic is already everything. But seriously I need more of those).

    Summary

    "Nothing is running. It is a fucking blizzard," Ilya tried to sound calm, but he was still kind of freaking out.

    "What time is your flight back?" Hollander asked, still facing the window. It was hard to read his tone without seeing his face, although far be it for Ilya to complain about the view.

    "Probably not until afternoon, if planes take off at all tomorrow," Ilya admitted.

    "What hotel are you staying at?"

    "The Hyatt over by the rink,"

    "Yeah, you'll never make it back there tonight," Hollander muttered.

    They didn't stay. It just wasn't something they ever did. As soon as they were done, one of them was out the door and back to wherever they were supposed to be in the first place. But surely Hollander wasn't about to send him out into a literal blizzard with no way to get back to his hotel. Ilya put his phone on the nightstand and stood up, tentatively approaching where Hollander remained frozen staring out into the snowy abyss that had once been the city of Montreal.

    "Is it okay that I stay here?"

    "Well yeah, you're gonna have to, man, there's no way you're getting back tonight," Hollander replied like Ilya was being slow.

    Summary

    Scott’s not really surprised to spot Ilya Rozanov backstage, getting lightly swarmed by a crowd of sound techs and hair and makeup crew. Even on the rare year that neither of them were getting any awards, the League always tried to get either him or Hollander, and preferably both, presenting something. And since Hollander was still out for the count and recovering up in Ottawa, that left Rozanov, standing awkwardly while a harried-looking woman straightened his bow-tie.

    Or: Scott Hunter's not really sure what's happening right now.
