Summary
“They need to return to a conference based system,” Svetlana said, slamming her hand against the table. “It was fucking fine the way it was, why are we handing out participation trophies to shitty divisions?”
Ilya raised his eyebrows from where he hovered in the kitchen, cracking open another Red Bull.
“This is fun,” he said, deadpanned. “You guys should start a podcast or something. I would not listen, you are both terribly boring.”

Or, after an injury on the ice forces Shane into an early retirement, he and Svetlana start a podcast.

Summary
Shane slips through his front door and back into his quiet apartment. He leans back against the door and takes a steadying breath in his dark apartment. After a moment, the music next door turns off and Shane is left with only the pounding of his own heartbeat in his ears.
He closes his eyes and tries not to think about Rozanov or the way Shane’s entire body lit up like a live wire when he said in that low, accented voice, only if you ask nicely. He’s hard in his penguin print pajama pants and now he’s going to have to jerk off and shower before he can sleep. While trying not to think about his asshole neighbor.
This is bad. This is very bad.
In which Shane Hollander's new next door neighbor is a menace who always seems to answer the door shirtless.

Summary
“I thought you were okay with this. With us. I know…” Shane trails off
“Of course I’m not okay with this - he’s fucking hurting you Shane.” Yuna takes the opportunity to finally say it outright. She doesn’t hide the vitriol in her tone.
“Wha-” Shane’s eyes get wide. Something like comprehension crosses his face. His eyes dart down to the bruise on his wrist. “Oh.” If possible, his face gets redder still. Yuna frowns. “No, mom, he’s not- uh- hurting me. Like that.”
What? “Did somebody else give you that bruise then?” Yuna feels a bit hysterical. Has Rozanov Stockholm Syndromed her son?
“No,” Shane grits out, “it was, uh, Ilya. It was just. You know. Like. Um.”
And suddenly Yuna understands. She understands all too well. She understands more than she had ever wanted to about her son.

Summary
A kitten blinked back at him, eyes mothlike but focused. Fluffy grey fur shot out in all directions, giving the creature the look of a twitchy, frazzled rain cloud. Bat-like ears flickered this way and that, and little white dappled paws drew in close when Ilya reached out a hand. All at once, the little body let out a fantastic, puffed-up hiss; forceful enough to almost knock itself over.
Ilya pulled his hand away, grinning. “Well done, kotenok, very fierce. You must be a lion. Yes, I think so.” He glanced around him, saw no one, then peered back around the tire. “I think maybe you escaped the zoo. So maybe I bring you back.”
_________________What if Ilya Rozanov had a cat the whole time? And, better yet, what if Shane was jealous of said cat?
