Summary
Shane Hollander is nineteen years old, a beta, and doing his first sponsorship shoot alongside his alpha rival Ilya Rozanov.
Five days later he has no career, no money, no citizenship, and a bond neither of them consented to and neither can undo. Ilya wants to go to prison for it. Shane won't let him.

Summary
The show's been on hiatus for eleven months and the fandom has mostly gone insane. Shane spends his days transcribing other people's medical disasters and his nights writing thousands of words about two men who love each other in ways the script will never admit to.
He thought he had a firm grip on his own style. Then a commenter with a zero in their username starts pointing out things about his writing that Shane didn't know were there.

Summary
Shane has never questioned how much Ilya loves him.
What he questions is whether Ilya understands what love asks of him.
After months of thoughtless habits, crossed boundaries, and conversations left unfinished, the cracks in their long-distance relationship become impossible to ignore. Neither of them wants to lose what they've built. Neither of them really knows how to stop hurting the other.
A story about emotional intimacy, learning to communicate, and discovering that love isn't just something you feel. It's something you practice.

Summary
Hollander narrowed his eyes. “Are you… jealous?” he asked suspiciously.
Ilya scoffed. “You can fuck whoever you want, I don’t give a shit.”
“...Right.” Hollander pulled on his boxers before he dropped the towel. “Because it’s not like you don’t fuck other people too, you know.”
“I know.”
“And it’s not that you- you aren’t enough, or whatever.” Hollander turned even more red, looking down. “But, like, we don’t get to see each other that often.”
“I know.”
“And, you know, it turns out you can have a lot of anonymous sex if you’re gay. People are surprisingly okay with it.” He said it earnestly, like he was the first person in the world to make this discovery.
Ilya forced himself to swallow, keeping his face carefully blank. “Is that so?”

Summary
Ilya realized he hadn't even registered his opponent. "Pike? Why the fuck are you taking faceoffs? Everyone else on Montreal lose their stick?"
"Keep talking, Rozanov. Get us another power play."
"Do you think you'll manage more than one shot on the next one?" But Ilya wasn't concentrating on him, drawn again to the slight amusement in the corner of the ref's lips.
or: Ilya Rozanov finds himself instantly intrigued by the pretty new ref this season. Lucky for him, it seems confoundingly, impossibly mutual.

Summary
The day he finally can invite Shane back to his place, months after the Tuna Melt incident, Ilya got shot instead. He still drove back home, because death can wait, he needs to win Shane back first.
Well, as it turns out, all actions have consequences; Ilya’s was having to go through the indignity of finally having his feelings returned, while everyone watches.

Summary
The camera is zooming slowly in on Shane, sitting on a bench in a locker room with his gear most of the way on, starting to lace up his skates. There’s a steaming hot coffee in a paper cup and a donut set neatly on a napkin on the bench beside him. Text appears in the space above the items and proclaims: Extra fuel, for when it’s time to cream Boston.
Dunkin’ Donuts puts Ilya in an ad campaign. Tim Hortons responds in kind. After years of on-ice rivalry, this might actually be the thing that causes the hottest point of contention.

Summary
Shane is in love with Matt. They're in love and it's fine. It's better than fine really, Shane loves just about everything about Matt and he loves all of Matt's friends. Except for the big tall Russian one that wont stop staring at him like he knows something Shane doesn't. Like he's waiting for Shane to snap. Like he's begging Shane to do something.
And Shane won’t, obviously. Because Ilya is the type of man to reel you in and the leave you high and dry. Leave you looking for pieces of him in every new person that you meet, leave you looking for signs you didn't just make the whole thing up, like some wild fantasy that was born of monotony.
Oh, and he fact he has a boyfriend who he loves. A lot. It isn't monotonous. Its love.
