    Summary

    Coming out as gay had been supposed to be the easy part.

    He wanted to date. He really did.

    Just… not people he knew.

    Which sounded weird, even inside his own head.

    But the truth was, Luca couldn’t remember ever looking at someone in his real life and feeling that spark people always talked about. That moment where attraction, which was already hard for him, shifted into something deeper. Something that made you want to lean closer instead of pulling away.

    or

    Luca doesn’t feel the spark. He never has. It’s not that he is incapable of loving. He loves so much and so fiercely. Just the romantic and sexual part of love can be… hard for him.

    Ilya and Shane don’t know anything about the worries that keep him up at night, but they took him in nonetheless, aware that he needs someone to look after him, while missing his family so much it’s killing him.

    Enter Elijah Young.

    (Summary changed on 16.3 cause the first one sucked.)

    Summary

    This is a story about love told out of order, between now and then, and all the ways a life can grow when (and where) you least expect it.

    Everyone and their mother knew the New York Admirals were an all-alpha team. Absolutely no betas. Betas were considered dull at best and breakable at worst. And omegas? The very idea was treated like a punchline.

    Scott Hunter knew this fact far, far too well. Because around the locker room, the word omega wasn't used as a secondary designation. It was used as a slur.

    Major League Hockey only recruited alphas. Too bad Scott himself was an omega. Not that anyone knew it. And if Scott had anything to say about it, no one ever would.

    Summary

    “You’re going to Boston.”

    Long after Farah hangs up, the words keep echoing in Shane’s head. If he had thought his thoughts had been chaotic this morning, when his biggest problem had been his rival potentially fucking him when he came to Montreal in two weeks, that’s nothing compared to the code-red panic that started the instant he found out he was being traded to Rozanov’s team.

    Rozanov, who was supposed to be his great career rival. Rozanov, who he’s hooked up with twice now. Rozanov, who had been planning on coming to Shane’s apartment in Montreal to fuck him the next time they saw each other. God, how on Earth is Shane going to walk into his locker room in Boston in a few days time?

    The impending awkwardness of dealing with Rozanov is almost enough to eclipse the hurt he’s trying to ignore. The knowledge that Montreal values him so little that they’re willing to dispose of him only six months into his rookie season. Almost, but not quite.

    Or, Shane gets traded to Boston AU.
