    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov never imagined he would be learning to play hockey at the age of 25, but when he sees an ad for a five-week course, he signs up.

    He ends up being the only adult in a line-up full of kids with dreams of going pro. That's not him - not anymore - yet something keeps him coming back each week: their coach, Shane Hollander.

    Summary

    "'They let you in the locker room?'
    'They let you hang out with the team?'
    The words shouldn’t have affected Harris. He knew the Centaurs weren’t a traditional team; they were better in so many ways Harris lost count. They had accepted Harris, each of them, with open arms. They never once made Harris feel lesser about his job.
    Or his sexuality.
    Or his income.
    Or his body."

    Harris's self confidence take a bit of a nose dive after hearing some of the more hurtful comments Troy's father had. Bood is way more observant than anyone gives him credit for. Apologies and barbecues ensue.

    I'm definitely playing fast and loose with this book's timeline here. Basically, this is "what if Troy's dad had confronted Harris wayyyy earlier in the book?" So, this fic takes that brief interaction from the end of Role Model and places it somewhere in the earliest blossoming of Harris's relationship with Troy.

    It's angst. If you've ever read any of my works for other fandoms, I'm sure you know exactly my brand of angst. I have been obsessed with this book series, and there's a lack of fics for Troy & Harris. Here is my little contribution.

    Ilya cameo in true homage to the books

    Summary

    Odd-Man Rush: The situation that occurs when a team enters the attacking zone and outnumbers the opposing players in the zone.

    Or,

    Shane doesn’t know why he still feels so off-kilter. He should be the happiest he’s ever been—he won the Cup, he feels like he’s maybe starting to have a few friends on his team, and he’s finally starting to believe his parents when they tell him he won’t get traded again. He should be on top of the world, but sometimes he still feels like the lone defender on an odd-man rush, skating as fast as he can to prevent what feels like an inevitable outcome.

    The problem is that he’s not quite sure which outcome it is that he’s trying to stop.
