    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov has been drafted by Boston, the number one pick overall, but his father doesn't want him moving to America and so takes steps to block his visa. He's going to have to go back to Russia and stay there forever and that, thinks Shane Hollander, is wrong.

    It's so wrong that Shane can't stop himself from doing something about it. Even though that something is the most reckless, the only reckless thing he's ever done in his life. He marries Rozanov in secret, to keep him out of Russia and put him on a path to Canadian citizenship.

    Shane's got a five-year plan to get him there and when you have a plan nothing can go wrong. Right? Right. When you have a solid plan and a marriage that's on paper only there's no risk of feelings getting involved. Not on Rozanov's part and certainly not on Shane's.

    Right???

    (or, the story of how Shane Hollander fell in love with his own husband)

    Summary

    Looking for a fun time.
    I'm interested in men wanting to give up control. If you're inexperienced and want to explore that side of yourself, I'm willing to show the way to eager good boys. Beware - I'm not a gentle teacher.

    Summary

    Following an afternoon of sex and tuna melts, Shane goes searching for the explicit rules of what being 'friends with benefits' entails. In his humble opinion, they're nailing it.

    Once friendship is on the table, Shane reconsiders the usefulness and immutability of the public rivalry narrative. Surely the NHL can make just as much money from a bromance as it can from a rivalry?

    A missed call from J.J., a dinner at All-Stars, and an ill-considered mad dash to the airport send Shane's season in a very different direction to the disciplined three-peat he'd been planning back in October.


    "This rivalry thing: it was everyone else who said we hated each other off the ice. There’s no rule that says we have to keep doing that forever.” Shane stared outside, past the blinding billboards and down at the streets below. “It was nice. Hanging out, last time.”

    He knew what it looked like when Rozanov shut down, when he closed himself off and pushed the world away. He’d finish the conversation abruptly, curt, clipped, and retreat. So Shane knew he’d won when Rozanov finally answered with: “Are we six years old, Hollander? Asking if I want to play in sandbox with you?"

    Summary

    Sumary: “You think I am a slut, yes? Do you have a problem with sluts Hollander?” Ilya makes no effort to lower his voice to accommodate the environment, despite the lecture-hall filling up around them.
    “What?” Shane chokes on his breath, somehow this conversation is taking an even worse turn than expected. No, of course not, I don’t care how many people you sleep with.”
    Shane kind of does care, but not for the reasons that Ilya is insinuating.

    OR:

    College friends - Ilya has sex for sport, and Shane just doesn't understand what all the fuss is about. Ilya, obviously, isn’t going to let that stand. // What's so great about sex anyway??
