    Summary

    Shane clicked onto the next slide displaying his classroom's schedule and turned back to the group seated facing him. His eyes landed on the parent who had just walked in.

    First, this man did not fit in the small chair designed for a second grader.

    Second, he was really fucking pretty.

    Shane Hollander built his life after college around safe choices. Safe job, safe routines, and a safe distance from the hockey world he abandoned years ago.

    That is, until Ilya Rozanov walked into his second grade classroom.

    Summary

    He tried to carve it out when he was thirteen. Found a nail in the barn and pressed it into his skin and bled onto the dirt floor and prayed to a God who stayed silent, and the mark remained — distorted, scarred, but there, because the mark was not on the skin but in it, in the bone, in whatever part of Shane Hollander had been made wrong. Four years later, a boy walked through the door, and the burning started, and Shane has been running from it ever since — from the mark, from the boy, from the truth that the one thing the world wants to destroy is the one thing he can't live without.

    Or

    At a correctional school in late 1900s Canada, a head prefect with a scarred soulmate mark and a Russian boy sent to be cured discover their marks match — and that the system meant to save them will destroy them first.

    Summary

    Ever since he had learned what skating was and, subsequently, hockey, life had been pretty straightforward for Shane Hollander. He had approached the sport that made his body move exactly how he wanted and his mind quiet with the same determination a scholar did academia: fully, completely, devotedly.

    It hadn’t been long before he had surpassed every kid at training, his edges sharp, hold strong, passes clean. His mother had seen the potential almost immediately and, soon enough, his destiny had been mapped out and he couldn’t have been happier about it: minor league and International Prospect Cup, the draft, 1st overall pick, Montreal, captaincy, cups, rings. He had everything planned, a clear path ahead, and success had been basically assured with the type of talent he was.

    Or it had been until he had gotten himself a fucking stalker.

    -

    Or, 4 times a jinx got in Shane's way and the one time it actually helped him.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander likes his routine as a graduate student in the chemistry department at the University of Toronto. He gets to lab early, he plays intramural hockey once a week, he monitors the use of the department's nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer every Monday night. Just a couple more years of keeping his head down and he'll graduate with his PhD. That is, until a new research group arrives: one that includes brash Russian graduate student Ilya Rozanov. Rozanov is loud and charming and popular and annoyingly, just as good at chemistry as Shane. And for some reason, won't leave the department's most boring, serious student alone.

    Summary

    I should probably just leave this guy alone, Shane thinks as he pushes open the heavy metal security door. He's already said hi to Lemaire and the other guys playing in the tournament, so there's no reason why he needs to come out here in the cold. He could wait to meet until they're all back inside. He could wait until the interviews. He could just not do it at all.

    But Ilya Rozanov is his primary competition, here at the Prospect Cup and in the draft, so he's going to meet him. His mother calls it "leading from a position of strength," the idea that you meet your biggest challenges head on and take what they give, and she's right about most things, so. Plus, he's already met all the other guys and not meeting Rozanov would leave a hole in his list, a space that would bug him until it was filled, which could distract him, interrupt his play, and that's not going to happen, not here.

    Summary

    Shane hates him, but fuck, he wants him just as much. There is no outlet for his desire now that he can finally name it. It only ever shows itself when he looks at Ilya, silent like the dead when he tries to ignite it for someone else. And Shane could never have him, obviously. He’s not a woman with a pretty smile, but it doesn’t change the way his body reacts every time he sees him.

    There’s a tiny voice inside his brain reminding him he actually, maybe, possibly could have had him, but it is easy enough to ignore. There is not a single rumour that Ilya might be anything other than straight. It was all a dream, Shane reminds himself.

    Or: Shane meets Ilya in his first week at university and finds out what it means to feel desire.

    Summary

    Harry should have never agreed to be Otto the Orange.

    At least he had the gorgeous ass of one 3rd string kicker to admire and keep him sane.

    ~~~

    Harry Styles somehow gets roped into being the mascot for the Syracuse University football team, and it’s the worst thing that’s ever happened to him. That is, until his longtime crush Louis Tomlinson starts talking to him while he’s in costume.

    How long can he keep his identity a secret?

    Summary

    While Louis had to try so hard to stay focused and be the best, Harry somehow did the same things with ease and confidence. He hated how Harry glided through life, carrying happiness on his shoulders like it was nothing when it was arduous for Louis. His carefree demeanor made Louis feel crazy.

    But that feeling just motivated him to always keep his eyes on the prize. Number one in the class rankings every year and the valedictorian spot the next year when they graduated. He was so close he could taste it. And if the only thing in his way was Harry Styles, then Louis was willing to up the stakes to figure out what made him weak just to beat him.

    “Whatever,” Louis eventually said to Liam. “He’s a fucking cliche.”

    or a boarding school AU where Harry and Louis are academic rivals until they realize they’re more similar than they thought.

    Summary

    Harry shrugged, his shoulders brushing against Louis’. “I think since I was young, I craved that feeling, though. I didn’t always hate being a prince, but over time, certain aspects of it just bothered me so much. I remember being four years old and realising that every person in the world knew my name, and I wasn’t sure if I wanted that. I told my mum as much and she tried telling me that being a prince is not a punishment. That it was a privilege that I should be happy about it, but no one asked me if I was. But looking up at the sky, I remember that all of this will one day mean nothing, and neither will I. All the pressure will then disappear and I could just be.”

    Louis stayed quiet, allowing Harry the space to open up because he knew Harry wasn’t looking for advice, but just someone to confide in. What he wished he could tell him was that in the short amount of time that he’d known the prince, in Louis’ eyes, he couldn’t be insignificant if he tried. He was brighter than every star up there in the sky. He was all Louis could look at and think about.

    or A Red, White, and Royal Blue AU where Hollywood elite, Louis Tomlinson, finds himself falling for the closeted Prince of England.
