Summary
Prince Ilya Rozanov likes slipping beyond the palace walls after midnight, trading his crown for the name Nikolai, a cloth merchant who drinks with blacksmiths and plays cards with vagrants. Among commoners, he is free—untitled, unguarded, unseen. On one such night, he meets Shane Hollander: disciplined, sharp-eyed, newly arrived in the capital. A card game becomes a challenge. The challenge becomes heat. By the end of the night, they choose each other without hesitation. It isn’t meant to be anything more. By morning, Shane is presented at court as the crown prince’s newly appointed personal guard. And the prince he is sworn to protect is the man who called himself Nikolai. Ilya, in turn, discovers that the stranger from the tavern is now bound to him by oath and duty. What should have ended at dawn refuses to. Despite the weight of their titles—and the scrutiny of a palace built on image, obedience, and control—they continue in secret. What begins as want deepens into something quieter, sharper, and far more dangerous. Because in Zakoria, the most scandalous thing a prince and his knight can share isn’t desire. It’s love.

Summary
Ilya couldn't rush to Shane's side this time. He couldn't place his hand on Shane's arm to just feel him. He couldn't scream at someone for answers. All he was left with was being face to face with the shitty hotel television, wishing he could crawl inside and grab Shane by the shoulders and yell at him to Get Up.
or....
Shane is hurt during a game. Another head injury, only this time the fallout is much more permanent. Mentally he's back in January of 2017 and he's still dating Rose Landry and actively denying his feelings for Rozanov. Only everyone keeps telling him he and Rose broke up, he's gay, and he's in a committed relationship with his rival. Apparently a lot can change in a year.

Summary
Rozanov cocked his head. “You speak Russian? Or just the curse words?”
“Yes, I speak Russian,” he snapped, defensive and angry. He knew that it had been a mistake to even try to be friendly with Rozanov. “Why? Do I not look Russian to you?” He scoffed.
“No, not really,” Rozanov said. Some of his teammates laughed, although they mostly looked surprised that Shane was speaking to them at all. Rozanov didn’t laugh, though. “Are you Russian?”
“Go fuck yourself.”
+++
Despite an inauspicious start, when Russia’s Ilya Rozanov learns that Canada’s Shane Hollander is fluent in Russian at their first World Junior Championships tournament, it changes everything and sets them on a different course. Instead of being branded as rivals from the very beginning, Ilya and Shane start off as friends.
And, after all, a little friendly rivalry never hurt anyone, did it?

Smoking Etiquette and Other Ways to Introduce Yourself by Scorpia_Star

Summary
Shane was late into high school when the inked words had appeared on his ribs. Better put, word. A singular “Okay” scrawled in that mix of cursive and print writing appearing under his right side.
Just “Okay”? His soulmate couldn’t have at least said a full sentence?Ilya had been 14 when his words appeared. Written in tidy block letters, English, under his right collarbone. He imagined sports cars and smoking outside some bar like in movies, a beautiful woman walking up to him to be a stickler about smoking etiquette. It just didn’t fit.
