    Summary

    “Good, well then that brings me to the real topic of conversation.” Another sigh from Coach Wiebe, “As I’m sure you’ve already guessed, those highlighted names have been offered rookie contracts and they’ve each expressed interest in living with a vet for their first year.”

    Ilya felt his heart fall into his stomach, afraid of the next words to come out of his Coach’s mouth.

    “We asked the rookies who they’d like to live with and, well, LaPointe wanted to board with you, Chouinard. And Young with you, Bood,” Wiebe then turned to Ilya who had frozen on the spot, “And Roz, Haas wants to live with you.”

    Bood and Chouinard chuckled as they watched Ilya’s eyes widen in horror.

     

    OR

     

    Luca Haas was drafted 2nd overall by the Ottawa Centaurs in 2018. Two years later, he anxiously moved halfway across the world to play his rookie season with the team. He requested to live with Ilya Rozanov and they slowly became family.

    Summary

    Shane is injured, the hospital food is beige, and Hayden Pike thinks he's doing a good deed by adding Lily to the group chat.
    He doesn't realize Lily is actually Ilya Rozanov in a neon green tracksuit, currently flying across the Atlantic with five other unhinged Russians to perform an emergency medical extraction.

    Or

    Technically, Lily is a state of mind. And that state of mind is currently holding a crowbar.

    Summary

    Shane has married Ilya, a known chaos monster, with a penchant for fast cars and designer clothes.

    Shane has spent his life making sure he was financially responsible. Now it's time to combine their assets and different approaches to money management.

    They had been married for 42 days. They did the financial disclosure. Now it was time to draft the documents... or maybe not.

    Shane had found a financial planner. Had set the appointment. More appointments were set. They were necessary.

    He prepared another binder. More cover notes. A cover note for the cover note. He'd covered everything. After all, he was Shane Hollander; what could he have possibly missed?

    Ilya, meanwhile, had approached today's meeting with the same organizational energy he brought to most things in his life, except hockey: confident, yet chaotic, and generally not stressed out about whether things would work out in his favor. This time there's actual emails and attachments. And voice notes. Just a couple. He promises.
