    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

    There are no omegas in the NHL. None in any professional sport, actually.

    It’s not that they’re illegal, it just… doesn’t happen.

    or

    Shane Hollander has spent his entire career hiding the truth: he’s an omega. Only... it turns out suppressants don't mix well with a high-stress pro hockey career. The last thing he needs is Ilya Rozanov noticing something’s wrong.

    **COMPLETE!**

     

    “Then I’d suggest an alpha assist,” Shah had told him, handing across some pamphlet with a company logo on, “It’s the safest option.”

    She’d said it like it was commonplace, normal. Maybe it was, for other people.

    “Can’t I just... wait it out, like I normally do?”

    Shah had sighed at that, her cool, medical professionalism being tested by the limits of Shane’s stubbornness. “You train, right? You do macrobiotic with high protein? This is the same thing – keeping your body in peak physical condition.”

    OR

    Shane has been sitting out his heats alone for years, denying himself. Then the Metros medic suggests an alpha to assist him...

    Summary

    In Vegas, after they’d said everything right up to the edge of I love you, Shane and Ilya came up with a plan. It was long term, with many, many steps. There might be a spreadsheet somewhere that Shane won’t admit to.

    But it’s a plan, nonetheless. Over the summer of 2014, they tweak it and add things important to the both of them. There are even many, extensive, contingency plans.

    OR

    Thanks to Shane's small lie the first time they hooked up, Shane and Ilya are together years earlier. Now, they have to figure out what to do about it.
