    Summary

    Shane Hollander agrees to an arranged marriage because refusing could start a war. He expected a transactional relationship, minimal emotional involvement, and maybe some occasional awkward small talk.

    Instead he gets a six-foot-three stupidly attractive Russian alpha who is apparently determined to follow Shane around campus like an overprotective guard dog.

    meanwhile Ilya Rozanov was fully prepared for a spoiled, haughty omega.

    But Shane was earnest, stole his cloths, cried over his gunshot wound, and called him mine in front of his father.

    Now Ilya’s a little obsessed.

    Summary

    Shane was gay. That was the entire point of this whole thing. He was a man who loved another man. And he was a man

    He was a professional athlete, nearly six feet tall, just about 200 pounds. But for every single thing about him that he felt like served to qualify him as a man, it was like Ilya had somehow turned the dial up to eleven. 

    And Shane loved it. 

    or, five times that Shane is overwhelmed by his husband's masculinity and one time that Ilya realizes he is not the man of the house.

    Summary

    Hayden Pike and his group chat of coworkers are pretty sure their new manager Shane has a parasocial obsession with a professional hockey player.

    He talks about him constantly, knows everything about him, watches every game, and even has candid photos of him that are definitely not available through conventional sources. So naturally, they decide to intervene to find him a man who actually knows he exists.

    Shane, for his part, has no idea what they're talking about.

    Summary

    "Hi, solnyshko.”
    The Russian pet name set a firework off inside Shane's mind as he heard it cooed from behind him. The intonation was just as he remembered, but the voice was much deeper.

    He turned and felt himself short circuit. It took every ounce of willpower to not let his jaw drop cartoonishly to the floor. Shane would recognize his individual features anywhere, even after 5 years. But it was as if someone had snapped their fingers and the smug, silly Russian boy who had been attached to Shane's hip for 3 summers was transformed into some sort of fucking Adonis right before his eyes.

    “Ilya-” was all Shane managed before strong arms were wrapped around his waist and lifting him off the ground in a greeting all too familiar from years ago.

     

    OR
    When Shane Hollander & Ilya Rozanov spent their summers as teens in an elite hockey camp, they quickly became inseparable friends. But they lose touch when Shane moves on as a prospect for the NHL and Ilya for the KHL.

    Years later, Montreal makes a bold move to take the hottest player in the KHL. After hearing of the Russian's reputation, the Montreal Captain is tasked with keeping his old best friend and new teammate out of trouble.

    Summary

    It’s a difficult concept for Shane to grasp, taking up space like that. Birthday parties are always so loud and demanding of everyone’s attention, and Shane doesn’t know how to handle it, always stressed that people don’t actually want to be there or are just patronising him. The idea that people want to get together to celebrate Shane, besides his parents and husband, is completely foreign to him. The idea that his hockey team would show up for his birthday is incomprehensible.

    Two birthday wishes Shane makes, and how they come true (and one time Ilya threatens a bunch of ten-year-olds)

    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

    “We could’ve had everything,” Shane admitted softly.

    The confession hurt more than he expected.

    “A real relationship. A family. A future.” His eyes drifted toward the planes outside again before he exhaled slowly. “But dreams eventually end.” A small, tired smile pulled at his mouth. “And this is me waking up.”

    Summary

    The first thing Ilya Rozanov felt was a headache the size of Massachusetts.

    Seriously, his head was pounding so badly behind his eyes that the moment he tried to sit up in bed, a violent wave of nausea nearly made him throw up. He immediately dropped his head into his hands, elbows braced against his knees while he forced himself to breathe slowly through it.

    Jesus Christ.

    What the hell did he drink last night?

    Summary

    After Shane comes out, the Metros become convinced he might be attracted to them.

    Shane corrects this assumption with devastating precision, accidentally describes Ilya Rozanov in the process, and somehow turns the entire locker room into a deranged pageant of heterosexual insecurity.

    Summary

    Ilya gets a certain way sometimes. 

    Usually it's when he seems more withdrawn, when something reminds him of the things that make him sad, a memory about his mother, a nightmare about his father. Or after they lose a game, or when he's especially worn out or exhausted, or when he and Shane have been apart for a little too long (it's always too long). And sometimes it's just because he seems to need it in some inexplicable way, to reset himself and ground him in softness. 

    Shane relates to that. 

    (Or, Shane and Ilya explore new dynamics and kinks. And enjoy themselves profusely.)

    "Scott? Uh, hello," Kip taps his coffee mug on the counter, startling Scott out of his reverie.

    "Sorry," Scott apologizes. "What?"

    "Is there... A reason you're stroking Maldita's collar?" Kip asks softly.

    Scott drops it like it's burning hot. "N-no. No reason."

    Summary

    Heat floods Shane’s face and he huffs to hold back a laugh. It’s hard not to find her funny, even when she’s giving him shit. “What’s your idea?”

    “We don’t tell anyone.”

    “That we broke up?”

    “Yeah.”

    For a moment, Shane thinks it over, before he says tentatively, “...Why would we do that?”

    “Just for a little while. Because if Rozanov is the jealous type, maybe-- well. If he saw us together a little while longer, maybe we turn the heat up in front of the paps… it might butter him up for your talk in Tampa. That’s where you said the All-Stars is this year, right? He’ll be there, you’ll be there…” She wrinkles her nose. “Not that he needs to be buttered up. You’re a total catch, and he’s gotta see that. It just might… motivate him.”

    She’s right about one thing; it is a bad idea. Shane stares at her, half in shock and half in… he doesn’t know what. 

    OR!! whats it called when you pretend to still be in a relationship w ur gay ex so he can make his man who's not his man jealous? asking for my good friend rose landry.

    Summary

    Shane’s ears turned pink, and he looked mortified. There was a long pause before he finally whispered, “I want a pet.” He was looking somewhere over Ilya’s shoulder rather than meeting his eyes.

    Ilya took a long second to process what he was hearing, unsure if he had misheard the English. “A pet? Like dog? You want a dog?”

    "Not exactly."
