Summary
Anthony runs The Serpent’s Spine, a radical bookshop tucked into a corner of Dalston—a haven for anarchists, queer kids, and anyone who still believes in fighting back. Locals call him “the Serpent of Dalston”: sharp-tongued, fiercely independent, and just dangerous enough to be left alone.
Ezra paints in the quiet hours of the night under the name “Aziraphale”—an anonymous street artist known for breathtaking murals of angels and half-remembered Edens. His work has gone viral more than once, but no one knows his face. He plans to keep it that way.
One speaks in sharp truths, the other in silence and brushstrokes. Neither of them is looking for connection—but their two worlds collide when Ezra enters The Serpent’s Spine looking for books about art.
A story about resistance, hidden identities, and falling in love in a world that keeps trying to tear you apart.

Summary
“What if it had been Oliwia, buttercup?” Lambert asks.
Jaskier goes still. Little Oliwia, barely sixteen and still as naive as any noble child gets - if she had been sent as a sacrifice, that would have been - “Monstrous,” he says, through a dry throat. “That would be monstrous, and a grave insult to the Wolf, that anyone would think he would do harm to such an innocent - that he would be that sort of monster.”

Summary
Ilya Rozanov is having a very good night. He’s scored a goal, his edges are perfect, and his chirping of the Vegas Golden Knights’ roster is reaching art-form levels of arrogance. But hockey is a game of physics and ruts in the ice, and it only takes one meaningless check in the third period for Ilya’s season to shatter in a single, sickening crack.
Three hundred miles away, Shane Hollander is forced to watch the replay in a silent equipment room.
When Shane finally breaks and calls Boston forward Cliff Marlow, he expects to be met with confusion or hostility. Instead, he finds that the Boston Bears have been keeping a secret for years— and Shane starts to realize the differences between Montreal and Boston span further than he was ever ready for.
What follows is meddling teammates who insist on doing laundry, PT that involves more sitting and standing reps than really feels necessary, and a boyfriend who is one research paper away from a medical degree. Plus, so much kale.
Or: The one where Ilya breaks his leg, the Bears decide they love Shane Hollander, and everyone argues over who gets to be who in NHL 18.

Summary
Recently life threw you for one hell of a curve that you were emotionally unprepared for, so needing to basically reset your bodies entire nervous system, you impulsively run from your troubles – renting a cabin on a secluded lake in Ottawa.
Conversely, your self-imposed healing exile is interrupted abruptly when you meet the neighbors, professional hockey players Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov – not that you had any idea who they were initially, you didn’t really follow hockey.
Being a biochemical engineer for the US military has taught you that every action has consequences, even if the action was paradoxical and involuntary. Ilya and Shane are extremely driven and prevailing men, who have constantly struggled to keep their depraved animalistic need for absolute dominance at bay.
Voluntarily choosing to become emotionally and physically entwined with Shane and Ilya – freely submitting to their chaos and control, is an insane choice to make, and the implosion that could occur if things go wrong could be catastrophic for everyone close enough to the fallout.
