    Summary

    There’s no humor in Shane’s voice. It’s cold, hard, determined. “When we meet them on the ice next season, I want to fucking destroy them.”

    After a moment, he feels Ilya nod thoughtfully behind him.

    “Is good plan. Let’s fucking destroy them.”

    The Montreal Voyageurs won't stop slinging mud at Shane in the press, so Shane and Ilya decide to get revenge the best way they know how.

    Summary

    They were only forty-five minutes late to the barbecue, all told, and yet Ilya was right. Bood called out, “Nice of you to show up, Cap!” from behind the grill. Ilya squeezed Shane’s forearm hard, once, and then headed over to talk to the host. Shane could’ve followed him, he knew, but he didn’t want to stand there awkwardly, feeling like he should say something but not sure when to cut in. On the Metros, everyone had known Shane was a little quiet in groups, knew the kinds of conversations he was comfortable having, when to ask his opinion. The Centaurs wanted something different from him, or maybe Shane wanted to be something different to them. Either way, he stood by the backyard gate while Ilya headed toward Bood, until Hayes called out from the fire, “Get over here, Hollander!”

    (in other words: shane figures out how to be a teammate and someone's husband all at the same time. ilya lives several of the best days of his life all in a row. & everyone else has a great time as well)

    Summary

    The doorbell rings just as Shane is finishing brushing his teeth – the first thing they rose to do, because he wants to kiss Ilya good morning – and he and Ilya exchange a confused look in the bathroom mirror. It's barely dawn, and Ilya's curls are adorably tousled from sleep as he scratches his ribs lazily, toothbrush dangling from the corner of his mouth. 

    Shane hesitates, then rinses his toothpaste out and runs a hand through his hair. "Fuck, it's probably anti-doping."

    No one else would be here at this hour – unless it's an emergency.

    Summary

    Alphas aren't supposed to want other Alphas.

    For Shane Hollander, that unspoken societal rule doesn't ring true. It's fine, though. He has everything under control, and the people around him are none the wiser.

    Unfortunately, he never counted on Ilya Rozanov seeing right through him.

    Summary

    When Shane Hollander stormed out of Ilya Rozanov’s Massachusetts house (deep in the boondocks, of course), he hadn’t quite premeditated that his rival-slash-situationship-to-end-all-situationships’ home would come with a few… logistical challenges.

    Namely, not a single rideshare within a twenty-minute radius.

    Because of course Rozanov—not exactly one for subtlety—would live on a fucking compound in the middle of nowhere.
