    Summary

    Svetlana knows about Jane. It's frankly insulting for Ilyusha to think otherwise.

    She just never expected to have to call him for help. During the Olympics. In Russia. In the dead of night.

    -
    Or, it's Sochi 2014 and Russia has lost to Latvia. Grigori Rozanov, not yet compromised by illness, punishes his son for shaming the family. When Svetlana finds an injured and emotionally fragile Ilya, she knows she needs somewhere safe for him to recover. And there's only one person in Russia who Sveta trusts with her Ilyusha: Canada's Golden Boy, Shane Hollander.

    Summary

    Something tugs in the center of his chest. He should be angry, furious at his brother for trying to do something to screw him over, even after years of not speaking. He’s been doing the same since they were kids, using Ilya as a scapegoat to slip out of his responsibilities and consequences for his own actions. Doing this - getting a woman pregnant that isn’t his wife and claiming it’s Ilya who has done it - is just something else to add to the list.

    Instead he just looks at the picture of this tiny little boy and wonders if he’ll have freckles.

    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

    “Photo?” Any trace of humour is gone from Niall’s tone in an instant. “Photo? What picture – did you get papped?”
     
    “Yeah. Haz and I leaving the bar. It’s gonna be all over the Internet for a few days.”

     

    If you’re Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson, you live by one philosophy: don’t be photographed or seen with your husband in public.

    The two have been together for almost twelve years in secret, stretching back to the days of One Direction. However, when an outing between them is photographed, they decide they’ll need to visit Niall Horan and Liam Payne to simmer down the rumours - simultaneously creating, of course, thousands more ideas that the band is getting back together.

    Between emails, hockey games, love proclamations, screaming and even the Super Bowl, Harry and Louis might finally, finally, get a chance to be the real them again – to the public and themselves.
