    Summary

    “This is the time to remember, ’cause it will not last forever. These are the days to hold onto, 'cause we won't, although we'll want to. This is the time, but time is gonna change. You've given me the best of you, and now I need the rest of you.”

    The season ends with a Stanley Cup, a retirement announcement, and a future that suddenly feels wide open.

    After seventeen years of hockey, Ilya Rozanov is learning how to slow down, something he’s never been particularly good at, while Shane Hollander discovers that balancing NHL captaincy with diapers, bottles, and a stubborn two-year-old might be the hardest job he’s ever had.

    Between international adoption paperwork, a chaotic but devoted hockey family, and the quiet moments that matter more than they ever expected, Shane and Ilya begin building a life that has nothing to do with the ice, and everything to do with the one they’ve made together.

    A story about leaving the game, finding home, and realizing that sometimes the most important victories happen long after the final buzzer.

    Summary

    **HOFAS SPOILERS**

    ---------------------------------------

    “How did you both sleep last night?” Cassian finally asked, effortlessly melting the frost that was rapidly spreading through the room. Although his mate sat next to him, the space between them was as taut as a loaded bowstring. It was probably where all of the tension in the room was going, Ember mused—being sucked between the two of them like a blackhole.

    “Well, thank you,” Randall replied.

    Ember was slowly warming up to Cassian. Despite his hulking size and the semi-frightening dragon wings sprouting from his back, he seemed to be one of the more pleasant Fae in this strange world. At least he had manners. Unlike some people.

    ---

    This is a continuation of the Ember/Randall bonus chapter with a little fixing up of Cassian's behavior because...what in the world was that lol. Plenty of Nessian and Ember/Nesta bonding because I couldn't get enough of them and their relationship!

    Summary

    Nesta was prepared to die. For Feyre, she would give everything.

    When Nesta sacrifices herself to save Feyre, the only person able to save her is the one who has hated her the most: Rhys.

    Cassian was so tired of watching his mate drown in her self hatred, her despair, and he'd just wanted her to find peace. But now, he would do anything for her to wake up and come back to him, even if it meant living through that grief and sorrow all over again.

    This is an AU for ACOSF, where Nesta trades her life for Feyre's instead of giving up her power, only it doesn't go as the Cauldron expects. This will focus heavily on Rhys and Nesta learning about each other and resolving their differences, as well as addressing how Nesta's trauma was handled by the IC (Also Rhys will apologize for his secret keeping).

    CW: Sexual assault, suicidal thoughts/attempts/ideation, child abuse, trauma, grief, and death.

    Summary

    When Nesta realizes Feyre has not included her in any of their family paintings, the sting of her exclusion is sharper than she could have ever imagined.

    Desperate to relieve Feyre and her new family of the burden that she was, she did the only thing she could think of: run.

    An alternate take after ACOFAS, in which Feyre not painting Nesta gets addressed, the Inner Circle gets a little bit of a reality check, and everyone kind of learns to communicate.
