    Summary

    Shane Hollander is just trying to survive NYU biochemistry, hockey practice, and the graveyard shift at 7-Eleven. He's too exhausted to notice that his new regular customer is Russian mafia, or that Ilya's interest in him goes beyond terrible coffee and cookies.

    When Ilya hands him a $10,000 designer scarf and matching gloves, Shane doesn't panic. He sells them for next month's rent. Any normal person would be terrified. Instead, Shane uses the leftover money to buy a Hello Kitty watch, pastel pink, childish, utterly incongruous with the danger circling him. He wears it to his next night shift without irony or apology.

    Ilya notices immediately. He is fascinated.

    Tears in my eyes the whole time, wonderful work making my heart rate go up. I wanted it to stop and keep going all at the same time. My boys can’t handle any more beatings.

    Part 2 was a masterpiece. Read it in 1 day bc I could tear my eyes away. Them navigating Shane’s first year as a bear, the same team, same line, they had their ups and downs but oh my god they had support from the boys. LOVE LOVE LOVE this series

    Cracking up!!! The Pike kids don’t know what private or subtle is, so much life between the Pike-Hollander-Roszanov blended family

    Summary

    “You can’t go two weeks without fucking me anyways,” Shane heard himself saying, and instantly felt like he’d chosen the wrong dialogue option. He should’ve said something like I’d like to see all the ways you can figure it out or maybe not sharing a room has never stopped us before.

    Ilya let out a laugh, “Please, you beg for me all the time.”

    “I’m not the one who can’t go more than a day without jerking off —” shut up Hollander, SHUT UP “I can totally go two weeks without fucking.”

    The Centaurs do a rotational room program for their first road trip of the season. Which would be fine if Ilya and Shane could be professionals.

    Shane starts a fight and gets a Dick Trick, Ilya is a mastermind, Bood becomes an Queer Icon, Troy has no idea what's going on, Hayes is having the time of his life, and no one wants to talk about the showers thing anymore.

    Now with Prequel, but stands alone.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is the number two overall NHL draft pick and a newly minted Montreal Voyageur. He’s also laser focused on his goals: being the best by beating the best. For him, this means a continued rivalry with number one draft pick—and new Ottawa Centaur—Ilya Rozanov. But when a problem with Rozanov’s immigration paperwork threatens his future in the NHL, what does that mean for Shane’s own career? He can’t risk finding out…so they get married. Just for immigration. A fast, practical, mutually beneficial solution.

    No one will ever suspect, let alone find out, that the NHL’s greatest rivals are secretly married. And there’s certainly no risk of feelings getting involved. They have a game plan.

    Wow, just wow, absolutely amazing story. Shane’s inner monologue doubting his ow and Ilya’s feelings was so sad. Having to put on a show and pretend to be a couple was so funny was also horrible bc of the miscommunication. Loved the end!!!!!
