    Summary

    Rozanov cocked his head. “You speak Russian? Or just the curse words?”

    “Yes, I speak Russian,” he snapped, defensive and angry. He knew that it had been a mistake to even try to be friendly with Rozanov. “Why? Do I not look Russian to you?” He scoffed.

    “No, not really,” Rozanov said. Some of his teammates laughed, although they mostly looked surprised that Shane was speaking to them at all. Rozanov didn’t laugh, though. “Are you Russian?”

    “Go fuck yourself.”

    +++

    Despite an inauspicious start, when Russia’s Ilya Rozanov learns that Canada’s Shane Hollander is fluent in Russian at their first World Junior Championships tournament, it changes everything and sets them on a different course. Instead of being branded as rivals from the very beginning, Ilya and Shane start off as friends.

    And, after all, a little friendly rivalry never hurt anyone, did it?

    Summary

    Every single one of Colin’s girlfriends would eventually give him The Ultimatum. It wasn’t a matter of if, rather it was a question of when.

    “It’s either me or Penelope,” they would inevitably say.

    Each and every time, Colin felt whatever affection he had for them die instantly. He hated the smug glint in their eye, their quiet confidence he would choose them over his best friend. It didn’t matter how long he was with them or how much he liked them.

    He chose Penelope every time.

    -

    Penelope and Colin have been best friends for years, causing them to struggle to form meaningful romantic relationships due to the jealousies of their partners. After yet another failed attempt at dating someone else, Penelope's boyfriend confronts Colin, leaving chaos in his wake. At the behest of Anthony, Penelope and Colin decide to take a break from dating and instead choose to focus on their friendship.
