    Summary

    Shrugging one shoulder far more casually than he possibly feels, Ilya says, “I like both. Is secret, okay?”

    “Okay,” Hollander says, voice tiny.

    He doesn’t say anything else. The air’s so heavy around them that it feels like being in the middle of a scrum, the weight and heat of all those bodies pressing down on you. Danger always feels like hockey; it’s the most dangerous thing Ilya knows, except for this. Everything dangerous in his life involves men’s bodies and just how close he can get to them. Closer than he probably should.

    In Juniors, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov are set up as hockey's biggest rivals. There's just one problem - after Shane unexpectedly drops out of the 2009 draft, they both end up being signed by the Boston Raiders. And, as it turns out, it's a lot harder to avoid your feelings for someone when you see them every single day.

    Summary

    "I am trying to find the right words to say something."

    "All right."

    "It's poetry."

    "Yeah? From you?"

    "No. I do not know who. Just something I remember reading once. Think maybe it inspired Russian poet."

    "You read at some point in your life?"

    Smirking, Ilya wiggles even closer. He whispers, "Want to hear or not?"

    Shane's not sure his heart will be able to take it, but he nods.

    Or: As they become closer after their confessions at the cottage, Shane and Ilya bare themselves to each other. Sometimes Ilya feels things so intensely that the English words to describe his emotions escape him.

    For the prompt: Five times Ilya forgot an English word ... and one time Shane did.

    Summary

    Raised as hunters, they were taught to fight, to protect, and above all to mistrust demons. But when fate’s marks ignite against all reason, how can one accept soulmates who should be enemies? Why would destiny bind a hunter to the very monsters she was trained to destroy?

    Or

    A canon-divergence AU where the autograph signing doesn’t go as planned. One touch changes everything, a fan’s camera captures it, and the internet spreads it before anyone can hide it. Suddenly, the line between hunters and demons is blurred—because soulmarks don’t lie.

    Or

    Fate doesn’t just bind soulmates—it corrects old sins. The touch meant to unite them instead awakens something twisted. The truth behind their world was buried for a reason. A secret waiting for the right touch to surface.
    The bond isn’t the threat.
    The truth it uncovers is.
