    Summary

    Shane Hollander has everything.

    At twenty-seven, he’s one of the most powerful and wealthy alphas in the world. His life is carefully planned, his future is secure, and he has never needed anyone to complete it.

    But Shane has spent his entire life learning how not to feel.

    When his longtime friend Rose convinces him to become involved with her annual charity event, The Beginning and Omega, Shane sees it as nothing more than another goal to accomplish. He certainly doesn’t expect it to change his life.

    He doesn’t expect a violent raid.

    He doesn’t expect to find Ilya Rosanov.

    And he certainly doesn’t expect the omega to disrupt everything Shane thought he knew about himself, his world, and the people living in it.

    Sometimes, becoming someone new means first becoming unrecognizable to yourself.

    Summary

    Shane first meets Ilya the winter of 07'. The omega is 16 years old, just like him, and already mated. There's a fucking dog collar around his neck.

    He's the best hockey player Shane has ever met. He beats Shane, at the most important competition of his life, and then disappears into the black hole of omega abuse that is the Russian system for the next eight and a half years.

    Then, the 2014 Olympics happen. Then, overnight, the world is faced with the talent that is Ilya Rozanov, and becomes conveniently so much more open to the idea of omegas in sports.

    The Metros become more open to it. They become open to the idea, too, of pairing a newly-out Shane with the most socially acceptable secondary gender for him to be mated to, if he's going to insist on being gay.

    It's not Shane who buys out the remainder of Rozanov's contract, but it is Shane who picks him up from the airport, and who's expected to mate him before the summer is up.

    Shane agrees to go through with it, because Rozanov agrees, and he wants to help Rozanov get the fuck out of Russia. He's wanted to help the omega get out of Russia since he was 16 years old- but neither of them are the same people anymore.

    Summary

    For the first time in over five years, someone asked for permission to touch him.
    And not just touch him, but hold him in a way that wouldn’t be sexual in any way. And god, as weird as it may sound, Shane was so, so touch-starved. Even though he basically had been touched nonstop for five years, he was suddenly desperate to be held close.
    It was probably incredibly stupid of him, but he wanted to believe for just a moment that maybe, maybe, the two Alphas were actually on his side.
    So he flung himself forward and wrapped his arms around Rozanov’s neck and let go of the sob before he fully started crying into Rozanov’s shoulder.

    Shane's layover in the US was only supposed to take two hours. But during those two hours, the US government was overthrown and omegas basically lost all their rights.

    Five years later, Shane was still in the US and the property of Roger Crowell. He had lost all hope when two gentle Russian alphas unexpectedly entered his life, making it their mission to help Shane return back home to Canada and showing him that he still had some fight left in him.

    Summary

    “You.” He snapped. “Remove the chains.”

    The handler hesitated. “The policy states that I'm not supposed to take them off until-”

    “What is your name?”

    The handler’s face paled. “Jarrod.”

    Mr. Rozanov sneered. “Jarrod then. Do me favor. Look at my face. What do you see?”

    “Uh...”

    “Do you see any fucks? No? This is because I do not have them, understand? I do not give a fuck about your policies or rules. I have enough money to buy this building and everyone in it. I think maybe I will. I will buy it and burn everything and everyone inside to the ground. Then I collect insurance money and burn all of that too, because I can.”

    Jarrod’s eyes widened.

    “Or maybe,” Rozanov continued, “Maybe you do what I fucking ask, and I leave peacefully with my purchase.”

     

    *OR*

     

    What if Vampire Ilya Rozanov buys Shane Hollander at an auction to keep as a live in blood donor?

    Summary

    But Ilya’s case worker had assured Shane on that first phone call that Ilya had been looked over by a doctor and given a clean bill of health. All Shane would have to do to ensure Ilya stayed that way was to take him down into subspace.

    So he had told himself to suck it up and had broached the subject with Ilya when they both sat down to lunch.

    It had, quite frankly, been a fucking disaster.
    --
    After enduring years of abuse at the hands of his doms, Ilya has no reason to trust that Shane Hollander will be any different. If it was up to him, he would never have to submit to another dom ever again, would never again have to endure the pain and humiliation of a scene. But it's not up to him, so he will grit his teeth and endure Hollanders attentions anyway.

    Shane is simply trying his best.

    Summary

    Hockey is mostly made up of canid shifters. It makes sense, especially because team sports appreciate that natural, instinctive pack connection that shifters are capable of having. They also are supposed to have that raw animal edge, that instinct for sport that a normal person might just not have, and besides, the instincts make the game more fun to watch.

    That's what makes Ilya Rozanov's supposed shifter-less status so infuriating. But Shane knows him well enough (and has been pressed up against him enough during high emotion, intense, uh, settings), to suspect that he's hiding something. And he shouldn't be -- shifters make more money in the league, and Shane himself is one, is praised for what he is. So his goal, during their time at the cottage, is to prove himself right (or wrong, but he's rarely wrong, c'mon, be so for real).

    He gets a bit more than he bargains for, but by god, Ilya's his baby, and his shift wants him for a mate, and he's going to make it happen, come hell or high water.

    Summary

    The Voyageurs have been on a losing streak almost as long as they haven't had a mascot.

    Now that they have a new star center, and things are starting to turn around, they see a chance for investment in a brand new mer: except this one isn't a beautiful mermaid, something weak and soft, but instead a symbol of power, dominance, strength. They go with a shark-type mer, something that represents their rise back to hockey superiority.

    Shane Hollander doesn't expect this to have anything to do with him, right up until he realizes that the mer can talk and does not in fact want to be the beloved face of this ancient franchise, and pretty soon, his movie-star/activist best friend has him pulling a heist that threatens not only his hockey career, but the entire social structure of North America.

    Summary

    “Rose, I can’t… I can’t go to a…” Shane looked around, voice hushed and cheeks red with thoughts of what his best friend had just insinuated, “a sex party.”

    At a Hollywood star's lavish birthday party, closeted hockey superstar Shane Hollander meets Ilya, a charming prostitute hired to make sure guests have a good time. As Shane starts to meet with Ilya regularly, allowing himself to discover his own sexuality, he begins to grow attached to the other man. What Shane doesn't know is that Ilya is being trafficked, and those meetings with Shane are the only time Ilya feels free. Can Shane help Ilya out of a dangerous situation, or are their shared moments behind closed doors the only reprieve the pair can get from the lives they've been forced to live?

    OR

    Shane is a famous hockey player. Ilya is a trafficked prostitute. A chance encounter at a party forever changes their lives. But will love be enough to save them?

    Summary

    The number one prospect is Ilya Rozanov, and in 2015 he gets drafted to the Boston Raiders. Shortly after, news breaks out that he’s an omega— it’s stated that no omegas are allowed to enter the NHL draft— and Ilya disappears off the face of the Earth.

    Enter Shane, shocked at the news that his one-time hook up is gone. He does his best to put it out of his mind. Only, he can’t, because in Ilya’s absence, he’s traded to the Boston Raiders.

    Five years down the line, Shane wins the Raiders a Stanley Cup. He and Rose are out for a celebratory dinner, when she gets a call from the shelter she volunteers at.

    They’re in crisis. A large sex-trafficking ring has just been taken down, and they have too many omegas but not enough helping hands. Rose makes her way over with supplies, and Shane tags along.

    That’s when Shane sees him, sitting on a bench— lips blue— and the only coherent thought he can come up with is that Ilya Rozanov really needs a blanket. Good thing he's holding one.

    Summary

    It had been YEARS since they'd spoken off the ice. Years since Rozanov had broken it off with him with a litany of reasons why they could never be together. YEARS since he'd texted to beg Rozanov to try again, and had found out he was blocked. Why the fuck now?

    "It's Svetlana," came a breathy, almost desperate voice on the other end of the line.

    Shane instantly sat up. "Is he ok?" He couldn't imagine any other reason why she'd be calling. It wasn't like they had ever spoken before. Hell, he'd only found out she and Rozanov were married from a press release.

    "No," she said with another long breath. "He's not."

     

    **

     

    Ilya wakes in a universe where Scott Hunter never found the courage to kiss Kip on the ice. It may be more than he can handle.

    Summary

    Shane is a college student at Columbia University in New York when he’s faced with a decision that could endanger the whole neighborhood. Instead, he ends up captured and held by the Russian mafia, led by the intimidating Ilya Rozanov. But why is he still alive? And what does the too-handsome mafia boss want from him?

    Summary

    As Ilya tries to look around for any more clues he idly thinks that this must be by far the nicest way he'd ever been kidnapped. He'd never gotten a blanket before. The give on the rope is just enough to sit up, too, and the way the mattress sinks under his movements speaks to a high quality. Who brings out memory foam for their kidnap victim bed?

    Yeah, Ilya decides, this isn't bad at all. He can make out the faint smell of breakfast from the other side of the door, too. Shit, he might even get fed in the time it takes his kidnapper to figure out that keeping him is going to prove completely useless. With how carefully tied the rope around his ankles is, Ilya might even get away without a single broken bone this time around.

    Or; Ilya is pretty used to being kidnapped for ransom money. It comes with the territory of having a rich father that is hated in all the wrong circles. Ilya realizes pretty quickly that this time is very different, though.

    Summary

    Ilya stood next to Svetlana, jaw tight, fists clenched ... helpless. He had failed to lead the Russian Olympic hockey team to victory and now his child, little Mishenka (Mikhail), would pay the price.

    His father did not tolerate failure. The terms were stated explicitly. If he wanted to see his child, he had to win. His father had no mercy. Svetlana had made the mistake of going home to bear their son, a son who had been confiscated at birth and prevented from following his parents west, held hostage to ensure compliance. Now, Ilya's father would once again prevent him and Sveta from seeing their two year old son.

    It was a devastating loss. After his father's cutting words ended, Ilya walked away. Sveta and he both found a separate quiet corner to grieve as they packed their bags and got on a plane. Watching Russia fall away from beneath the wheels of the jet, he did not allow himself to cry.

    0o0

    Shane habitually defied expectations. The Canadian Olympic hockey player surprised Russian Officials, survived a fire at sea, defied his mother, and found a whole new gear when he stole a small child with curly blond hair. Now he had to get the two of them out of Russia.

    Summary

    “Just got the word from the officials, Metros are shutting Miitka down for the night," LeClaire says almost dispassionately. “Third period we’re up against,” LeClaire consults his clipboard, “Shane Hollander. Drafted 2009, current starter for the Laval Maples, posts a .905 save percentage.”

    Ilya stays where he is, rolling the name around in his head once, without much interest.

    Hollander.

    Doesn’t ring a bell.


    Inspired by that one twitter post, what if Shane was a goalie?

    Summary

    “He will be a handful,” Svetlana says cooly, in step beside him. Her heels have no bother picking over the debris either.

    Ilya’s smiles again, but he imagines it is not a soft thing, carving across his face. The leash is sitting, uselessly now, on the boy’s chest, the soft rise and fall of it. From here, he is close enough that Ilya can make out the details of his freckles scattered across his cheeks, the bridge of his nose. Ilya could bury his nose in the omega’s hair, if he wanted. He doesn’t, not because he does not want.

    “He is perfect,” he replies. The beast in Ilya’s chest snaps its jaws once, twice, at the shadows that extend their sharpened claws towards them. The night presses in but does not touch the boy in his arms.

    Or, Ilya Rozanov is told to find an omega to further his family's legacy. Ilya does it the way he knows best: with blood. But, after winning omega Shane in a fight, and finding something worth protecting, Ilya may have to learn to tame the beast.
