    Summary

    Shane gasped and stumbled backwards. “Three weeks? You decided-” his hands flew to his mouth. “How could you do this without talking to me? This is what? To punish me because I won’t come out on your timeline?”

    Ilya felt a stab of anger. “You won’t come out on any timeline!”

    Shane blinked at him. “I literally drove here tonight because I wanted to know if you would accept six to twelve months!” 

    “A timeline,” he barked. “This is our lives, Shane. I want to be with you fully now. I know you are scared, but you need to be brave, and I am so deeply fucking unhappy being your dirty little secret.”

    “That’s not fair Ilya, it’s going to be complicated for me. I’m already the only Asian captain in the league! The media, sponsors, the Voyageurs? It’s going to need to be carefully managed-”

    After the Boxing Day fight, Ilya makes an impulsive decision and agrees to a trade to Vancouver, while Shane stays in Montreal and nurses his broken heart. But an ending isn't always an ending, and the spectre of their love burns far too brightly to go down easy. A tale of love, heartache, redemption, and forging the happiness you deserve for yourself.

    Summary

    "Why did you say that?" Shane asks quietly after they've showered and crawled into bed. He can tell Ilya is half asleep already, and he hadn't meant to say anything at all.

    Ilya hums at him, a confused noise. Shane almost doesn't say anything, but Ilya squeezes his side, holding him still instead of pulling him closer.

    "Why did you tell Harris that you've loved me since Saskatchewan?"

    or

    Shane starts to spiral, thinking about what a person can do to someone that they love. (He should probably talk to someone about this, but he probably won't, at least for a little while.)

    Summary

    Ilya stood next to Svetlana, jaw tight, fists clenched ... helpless. He had failed to lead the Russian Olympic hockey team to victory and now his child, little Mishenka (Mikhail), would pay the price.

    His father did not tolerate failure. The terms were stated explicitly. If he wanted to see his child, he had to win. His father had no mercy. Svetlana had made the mistake of going home to bear their son, a son who had been confiscated at birth and prevented from following his parents west, held hostage to ensure compliance. Now, Ilya's father would once again prevent him and Sveta from seeing their two year old son.

    It was a devastating loss. After his father's cutting words ended, Ilya walked away. Sveta and he both found a separate quiet corner to grieve as they packed their bags and got on a plane. Watching Russia fall away from beneath the wheels of the jet, he did not allow himself to cry.

    0o0

    Shane habitually defied expectations. The Canadian Olympic hockey player surprised Russian Officials, survived a fire at sea, defied his mother, and found a whole new gear when he stole a small child with curly blond hair. Now he had to get the two of them out of Russia.

    Summary

    There was no “No Son of Mine” lecture, no slurs were ever thrown around, and neither Shane nor Ilya were ever banished from Yuna and David’s house or life. Instead, a quiet questioning began, where all of Shane’s choices were investigated for motive and reason.

    When did this start? When did it become serious? Are you sure about this?

    When David first walked in on Shane and Ilya kissing, and Shane had to make what felt like a walk of shame to his parents house with Ilya in tow, he assumed that all he had to do was rip the bandaid off. There was no more hiding, there was no pretending this didn’t happen. The truth was out there whether he liked it or not, and he was vocal with Ilya about not liking it at all. But, he told himself, he just had to man up. He could do this. Rip the bandaid off, tell the truth, and tomorrow will be better.

    He was really incredibly wrong about that.

    Or: When Shane’s parents find out he’s gay and dating Ilya, they don’t accept it – instead, they push back. What follows is two of the most difficult years of Shane’s life. AU after Book 2/Season 1.

    Summary

    The fight on Boxing Day had been explosive and painful. But they'd decided they would make a new plan. One they could both live with.

    But the more Shane tried to compromise, all the years of resentment and hiding crowded in at once. He spat an ultimatum across the table. Six months. A year at the absolute most. Or they were done.

    “That’s not enough time. A year is… tough, but maybe,” Shane offered carefully. “Eighteen months?”

    Ilya’s temper flared.

    “I do not want to wait another eighteen fucking months!” The words echoed through the room. “I want to be like Hunter! Go on dates with my boyfriend. Talk about him to people. Not always feel like some awful, shameful secret.”

    “You want to talk to people about me?” he asked quietly. His voice sounded so small and fragile and confused. But Ilya was still furious and raw.

    “Well I would,” he sneered, “if there was anything about you that was fucking interesting to talk about! It would be nice to not be so fucking bored and miserable!”

    As the words left his mouth, he knew he'd gone too far.

    ---
    What if the Centaur's plane never malfunctions, so Shane never proposes. Instead, Ilya gives him an ultimatum.

    Summary

    "If this is it," Shane whispered, so quietly only Ilya could hear, "you won't face a single second of it alone."

    Ilya closed his eyes. His fingers tightened around Shane's hand with everything he had left.

    He saw the fear in Ilya’s eyes.

    Then he saw nothing.

    *******

    It was supposed to be an ordinary flight. Instead, it becomes the worst day of their lives.

    They were never meant to be on the same plane. Then the unthinkable happens. It goes down.

    As terrified passengers flee the wreckage, Shane refuses to abandon the man he loves, even as rescuers and survivors alike order him to get out. Trapped beneath twisted metal, Ilya is running out of time. And while they wait for help, the secret they've spent years protecting slips into the hands of strangers with phones.

    In an instant, the whole world is watching. Hockey can burn. The headlines can wait.

    Shane Hollander has exactly one job: keep Ilya alive.

    Because if they survive this, he'll have to protect more than Ilya's life. He'll have to protect everything they've built together against impossible odds.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander loves his future husband. Sure, his future husband is oblivious sometimes, but he means well, and he always listens.

    Ilya Rozanov thinks his future husband doesn’t understand the dark side of hockey. He’s about to learn differently.

    The result: two decisions nobody who even slightly follows the NHL expected their two former rival stars to make.

    Summary

    The mountains were supposed to be the end.

    After fleeing the Alpha responsible for burning his village to the ground, Shane expects winter to claim him long before anyone else does. Instead, he wakes beside a fire in the cabin of a gruff, solitary Alpha who insists he's only keeping Shane alive because letting him freeze would be inconvenient.

    Neither of them believes that's the whole truth.

    As winter settles over the mountains, two strangers, each haunted by the people who shaped them, begin the slow, uneven work of learning what safety feels like. One meal, one argument, and one quiet act of kindness at a time.

    Summary

    "Hockey talent or not, for the rest of his life, the onus will always be on him to dodge this bullshit and come out squeaky clean on the other side. The strict rules binding him simply don’t exist for other people."

    A few months into his first season with the Centaurs, Shane is rapidly approaching a breaking point for reasons nobody would ever guess, and he himself is only beginning to understand.

    Summary

    Boston, 2014. The night the Raiders win the Stanley Cup, Ilya Rozanov sees a woman across a crowded club and tells his best friend he just met his future wife.

    Jane is a sports management student at Boston U, a part-time barista, and—unbeknownst to the hockey star currently trying to charm his way into her pants—the same Shane Hollander who beat Ilya for gold at the 2009 Junior World Championships. So she's trans, anxious, and absolutely certain that a notorious womanizer like Ilya Rozanov would never look twice at her if he knew the truth.

    But Ilya doesn't give up. Not when Jane runs from him the first night. Not when she refuses to give him her number. Not when he discovers exactly who she used to be.

    Summary

    “I turned the other cheek every fucking time. I still got tossed on my ass the second I went too far over the line, and threatened by the commissioner, and told to kill myself on just about every social media platform because my nightmare that I’d get outed came true. And you, after everything you did, got to come out to a supportive team and fans, get a slap on the wrist, and have your happy fucking ending.”

    Summary

    Ilya smiled down at Shane and his eyes gleamed with mischief. 

    "You know, Troy is just a few doors down. We could call him over, make it a little party." 

    Shane's eyes snapped open only to narrow again as he glared up at Ilya.

    “Would you like that?”

    “No, I wouldn’t,” Shane snarled. 

    But his face was screwed up in frustrated pleasure. Ilya hummed thoughtfully and pretended to consider. 

    “Perhaps we could make it a competition then.” 

    Shane made an irritated noise and turned his face away. Ilya leaned closer and let his teeth drag down the length of Shane's clenched jaw.

    "You want Troy to see how well you take it, or do you want to see if he's better at riding my cock than you are?" 

    He had been teasing him, pushing at the jealousy that usually made Shane squirm and glare and tell him to shut the fuck up while his traitorous cock twitched and throbbed at how much he secretly liked it. 

    So when Shane did squirm away from him, Ilya followed automatically, pressing their chests flush together. He thought Shane was playing.

    “Get the fuck off me,” Shane spat.

    Shane safewords out of Ilya's teasing about Troy.

    Summary

    “Shane…”
    “Please. Please, please.”
    He’s begging now. Begging Ilya to take him back. To forget everything that happened in Tampa. It would be hard, but he would do it. He would do anything to keep Ilya.
    “I’ll do anything,” he tells him. “I’ll do anything you want, just please don’t… Please don’t do this. I mean it - I can pretend I don’t feel anything. Please, just… just take me back. Let me come back to you, I’ll be so good for you. Please. ”
    Ilya doesn’t answer. He’s so quiet on the other end of the phone, that Shane has to check his screen if the call is still going. It is.
    “Ilya?” he whispers.
    “Shane,” Ilya whispers back. “Please hang up the phone.”

    Summary

    Shane's breath catches, and he muffles the sound with his hand. Everything feels like too much. He’s naked, and he can feel entirely too much on his body, inside his body, and he hates how it's starting to feel gross. His head is pounding, and he can't even focus on placating his mind when his lungs are also screaming in his throat for breath.

    Ilya hears, and his hands reach out to hold Shane, tension lying in every part of his body. “Shane—”

    “Don't touch me,” Shane snaps, more desperation than yelling as he rips his arm out of Ilyas's grasp. His tears have nowhere to go now, and they finally spill over, hot and humiliating, down his cheeks.

    Ilya freezes in place, hand hovering mid-air. A myriad of emotions flicker across his face: confusion, hurt, fear. Ilya takes an unconscious step back like someone shoved him. His body curls in on itself, trying to make himself appear smaller.

    He looks... terrified. Like, Shane just called him a monster, and he believes it.

    OR: inspired by the fight in the long game when ilya had told shane he could have sex with other men because he did not believe in cheating.

    Summary

    “I can’t tell you anything.”

    ”Oh, come on!” She whined and Shane couldn’t help but laugh. “When have you ever been able to talk to a friend about the hot guy you’re seeing?”

    ”We’re not see—“

    ”Or not seeing.” He could practically hear her eyes rolling. “Semantics. Answer the question.”

    ”Never. Obviously.”

    Summary:
    Ilya is finally at the cottage. He’s beautiful in the mornings. He scratches his tummy when he’s sleepy. Shane is so enamored and he needs someone to know. So what if that text message Shane received from Rose wasn’t the only one?

    Moments at the cottage you missed, the text messages Shane sends about a mystery guy to the only other person who knows he’s gay, and the one text he sends to the wrong person by accident.
