    Summary

    Shane doesn't have anything against fighting in hockey. Truly he doesn't. But there are a million different things to love about playing on the same team as Ilya Rozanov, and watching him stew in the penalty box like a caged animal is near the bottom of that list for Shane.

    Ilya can't keep out of the box, so he's not allowed to put it in anymore.

    Summary

    “Do not make me do work. I just retired.”

    “You did. You’ve had an amazing career and you’re an amazing husband and, as my WAG, it’s my job to keep you happy. So I’ll make it happen. I’ll get you a baby. But, we’ve got to figure out logistics to get one.”

    “We just do it the easy way.”

    Summary

    “It was cruel,” Ilya murmurs, brushing the saltwater from Shane’s freckles with a careful thumb. “I was cruel. To both of us. And I’m sorry.”

    Shane breathes with him for a moment, both of them trying to pull themselves together, before he grumbles, “I don’t even remember why I brought that up.”

    “Because you want to be annoying in bed until I slap you,” Ilya reminds him patiently.

    “Oh. Right.”

    [Or: Shane and Ilya are very, very compatible.]

    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

    Wilhelm’s suit is navy, tailored and crisp. His collar sits like it was sewed into place. There’s a glint on his glasses as he presses a post-it note down on his binder and aligns the corner of a document without looking down.

    Simon exhales through his nose. Hard.

    Are there no other fucking lawyers in Sweden?
