    Summary

    "Is he cute?"

    Shane's head snaps up. "Excuse me?"

    "You heard. Is he cute? Handsome?"

    Shane is baffled. What the fuck was going on? Why were they talking about this random ass rookie when all he wanted was for Ilya to destroy him?

    "Ilya, why are we-"

    "Answer, Hollander."

    Shane gasps as Ilya finally moves, and his pace is anything but gentle.
    "He - oh, fuck, Ilya - yeah, he's cute", he finally grits out, his hands clinging to Ilya's shoulders, nails digging into his boyfriend's back.

    "Yeah? Is he really pretty, hm? Loves talking to you, yeah? Admires you?" Now Ilya was just straight up cruel. Shane didn’t want to like this as much as he did, but fucking hell. "Does he blush for you? Get all red and shy when you talk to him?" Shane was ready to kill this man.

    Summary

    Six months ago, Shane’s intimate conversation and break-up with Rose Landry was recorded and leaked. In those six months, his life had completely upended and everything had changed, for better or for worse. Except for Ilya. He still has Ilya, and he’s beginning to understand that he always will.

    It’s 2018. Shane Hollander has to figure out his new life, in a new city, on a new team, while being out to the world but not by his own choice. Ilya, along for the ride, also has to learn what it means to be connected to a place, to a person, and to his own inner truth.

    (Sequel to “something you can fix,” set post-Heated Rivalry, pre-The Long Game)

    Summary

    Harris appeared in the doorway. "Troy said we're giving a dick-sucking talk?"

    Ilya threw his hands out, exasperated. "We do not need every dick-sucker in the building to explain this."

    "Maybe not, but I don't want to miss an Ilya Rozanov dick-sucking speech," Harris said, standing next to Troy.

    Summary

    Ilya takes Shane and a bunch of their Centaurs teammates to the legendary New York gay sports bar - The Kingfisher. Shane quickly discovers, to his own horror, that the entire team has been placing several bets on his first encounter with a gay bar.

    or

    Ilya was holding seventy Canadian dollars in his hands.
    “What the fuck man?” Shane snapped the money out of Ilya's hand, staring at it with wild eyes.
    “Is good investment, betting on your behavior,” Ilya mused, retrieving the money from Shane and stuffing it into the back pocket of his pants.
    “You did what!?”
    “It was Rozy's idea,” Bood explained the obvious, still Shane tried to give him a sympathetic smile. He meant well. They all probably did. Everyone had their own way of dealing with this menace that happened to be Shane Hollander's husband.
