Summary
Ilya Rozanov has been drafted by Boston, the number one pick overall, but his father doesn't want him moving to America and so takes steps to block his visa. He's going to have to go back to Russia and stay there forever and that, thinks Shane Hollander, is wrong.
It's so wrong that Shane can't stop himself from doing something about it. Even though that something is the most reckless, the only reckless thing he's ever done in his life. He marries Rozanov in secret, to keep him out of Russia and put him on a path to Canadian citizenship.
Shane's got a five-year plan to get him there and when you have a plan nothing can go wrong. Right? Right. When you have a solid plan and a marriage that's on paper only there's no risk of feelings getting involved. Not on Rozanov's part and certainly not on Shane's.
Right???
(or, the story of how Shane Hollander fell in love with his own husband)

Summary
Ilya started the list when he was seven years old. Then, it was a single sheet of lined paper, the header Потрясающие вещи written in blue marker. Potryasayushchiye veshchi. Brilliant things. Wonderful things, amazing things.
The first few entries were easy. Simple.
#1: Пломбир. [Ice cream.]
#2: Собаки. [Dogs.]
#3: Катание на коньках. [Ice skating.]
#4: Жёлтый цвет. [The color yellow.]
#5: Библиотекарь в школе. [The librarian at school.]- - -
Ilya makes a list for his mother, a list of everything in the world that is brilliant. Of course, he didn't know then how it would continue to change his life more than twenty years later.

Summary
Shane Hollander is a beta. And he couldn’t be more happy with his designation. It keeps things simple. No stupid alpha territorial bullshit or omega pheromones to disrupt his routine. He has more room to focus on hockey, rather than worry about silly inconvenient things like ruts or heat cycles. While his teammates have to take medical leave a few times a season and wear things like scent blockers or take suppressants, he just gets to play the sport he loves and call it a day.
Yes, being a beta kept life simple. And he spent 24 years of his life as a simple, hockey loving beta. Until he suddenly wasn’t. And of course, because fate loved to fuck with him, he finds out in the middle of a game against fucking Boston.
Or, a beta Shane Hollander accidentally presents as an Omega and goes into heat during a game, sending everyone in a frenzy. Thankfully, Ilya is right there with him.

Summary
“I feel really good about this kid, I think he could be great on your wing, he just needs some help settling in. Someone to show him the ropes.”
“Yes.”
The line went silent for a moment. Ilya wasn’t really sure why his coach felt the need to run this by him.
“Rozanov,” his coach said at last. “I want him to live with you.”
Ilya blinked, then nearly shouted into the phone. “What?”
* * *
or, Ilya stays in Boston, gets a rookie, and tries to figure out how to make a secret long distance relationship work while there's a Russian teenager in his house
