Summary
"There’s so many people that I need to be and so many people that I can’t be, and in all of it I don’t even know who I am sometimes. Everyone talks about me like they know me… like they own me, but they don’t even know what my real daemon form is, because I don’t fucking know either! I’ve got to pose for pictures with a fake daemon and a caked on fake face and smile like I want it all, when all I really want is-”
Shane is cut off by a kiss. A messy, frustrated, painful kiss of a man in tears and a man holding his own inside.
or
The story of Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov fighting for love while caught up in a metaphysical mystery plaguing the league. Humans have animal soul-daemons, and sinister plots haunt the narrative. Shane, Ilya, and their animal companions struggle to balance young love with the threats emerging around them. Can they unravel the ghosts of Ilya's past while flying under the watchful eyes of the Magisterium?
Romance, hockey, fluff, smut, with a sprinkling of metaphysical mystery and espionage, now with original art.

Summary
Shane blinks back, and wonders what his face might be doing. He wonders if somewhere written among his freckles is the number of times that Shane’s intrusive thoughts have imagined the man before him in lewd scenarios. He wonders if his mouth --already disconnected from his conscious mind-- secretly whispers confessions of his fantasies in a devastating betrayal of the self.
Shane swallows. The two blue eyes are so fucking close that they could each be a mile wide. They could be barrels of a gun or the tips of arrows. They’re trained on Shane and call on his animalistic reactions of fight or flight.
Or fawn.
Shane Hollander was diagnosed with autism as a child. With delayed speech, sensory difficulties, and a brain that refused to conform, Shane grew up always finding ways to cope using hockey, systems, and routine. After temporarily losing his speech in a very public meltdown at the world juniors, Shane is forced to carve a path as the first publicly autistic player in the NHL, accommodations and all.
Chronic surprise Ilya Rozanov is determined to prove to Shane that he isn't a problem to be solved, while both men must learn to accept that they're worthy of love at all.

Summary
Shane and Ilya are celebrating 20 years of marriage by going on a holiday to Hawaii. While flying there, their plane crashes and in their last dying moments, they each realise that if they could go back in time, they'd change everything. Destiny intervenes and lets them make those choices. The only problem? They both have a different idea of what their future would be like and both of them don't know that the other has also returned.
For the people that have read my previous stories, know that this will probably be a very long ride as I do not have any control over the stories that appear in my head. Tags will be updated along the way.
This is a story about falling in love again, inspired by 'everything is romantic' Alina Kay's version.

Summary
Rough palms slip past his coat, under his sweatshirt, to his skin. “So it’s not serious then? Your upper body injury.”
Shane almost laughs. “I don’t know.” He almost cries.
A hand slides up towards his chest. “Hollander—”
“Stop.”
He holds on to Rozanov’s wrists even as they pull away.
“Did I hurt you?”
“No,” but the cardiac monitor would’ve been palpable under his skin.
In September 2010, Shane suffers a cardiac event during training camp before he ever plays a single game with Montreal. Medically retired, he goes to college, returns to hockey through coaching, and, even without the heat of rivalry, finds his way to Ilya, too.

Summary
After coming out as gay to Yuna and David and launching the “boyfriends” label, Shane comes out one more time, this time as a werewolf. I present to you, 5 times Ilya Rozanov loves his werewolf boyfriend + 1 encounter with a vampire.
~~~~~
“Knowing you better could never make me love you less. I want to see you. You've given me the gift of seeing more of you.”
Shane’s eyes widen at the words. The thought that Ilya not only tolerates, but wants his vulnerability fills his heart with warmth. The thought that Shane’s awful secrets --being a werewolf, and even being gay-- are gifts to Ilya is mind-shattering. Shane wants to give his boyfriend everything at this moment. If Ilya wants to see him, Shane wants to show him.

Summary
“Rozanov, Ilya-- can you hear me? Fuck! Are you okay?” He asked, frantic. There was so much blood, people were running towards them. He could hear phones being dialled, could feel the presence of others around them.
Ilya’s eyes were open, but it was as if he were looking past him, up towards the sky above. He coughed once and blood sputtered out, dribbling down his face "Mama." He said softly.
---
Since Shane was a young boy he has been able to rewind time. He had never done it for anything huge, just small things here and there.
Then Ilya Rozanov died in front of him.
