    (9:33pm) Ilya: I know I’ve taken away your chance to explore yourself and find someone who’s good enough for you. I think you should take that chance now. If you find a nice boy in Montreal who you like, I promise I won’t stand in the way.

    (9:34pm) Ilya: If you still want me at the end of this, I’ll be waiting

    (9:34pm) Ilya: I’m sorry

    Summary

    Ilya closes his eyes.
    He blinks back his tears. He wants to nod or shake his head or something, but he can't.
    This can't be happening.
    He blinks and blinks and blinks again but he's still in the hospital and he still feels like shit and his mom is dead and Shane is far away and he thinks he's depressed and there is something inside of him that he doesn't know what to do with.
    Fuck, he thinks, in russian and in english and in french, even. Fuck.

    Or, in 2020, Ilya has a (very) unplanned, (very) complicated pregnancy, Shane has to learn that sometimes things don't work out the way he planned, and some other things. Set in The Long Game, kind of.

    Summary

    Svetlana’s voice is tense, “Rose suggested I reach out to you. We have an omega here who needs a place to live and I was wondering if you’d be willing to house him.”
    “Me?” Shane blurts out, “Why me?”
    “Because, I believe having a familiar face will help him.”
    “A familiar face?” Shane is even more confused than before, “I mean I know I’m a hockey player-”
    “No,” Svetlana cuts him off. “The omega is a former hockey player, and there’s mention that you two have crossed paths before. Do you remember Ilya Rozanov?”

    -

    Right before the MHL draft, Ilya Rozanov went missing after presenting as an omega. Years later, he turns up at an auction house where he’s rescued after a police raid. However, due to his unpredictable nature, Ilya is sent to live with star hockey player, and former crush, Shane Hollander.

    Summary

    LeClaire’s hand is still on his shoulder, and Ilya knows that it doesn’t look like anything. A coach speaking to one of his players. LeClaire’s heat seeps through his suit jacket, and his breath is a warm, damp wash of air against Ilya’s ear.

    “They’ve finished up with the awards,” he murmurs. “You look like you’re ready to get out of here.”

    Ilya nods tightly and sets his drink down on the table.

    OR:

    Gregori Rozanov was bad in many ways, but Coach LeClaire might have him beat.

    Shane Hollander has something to say about that. It turns out a lot of people do.

    Summary

    intermission

    /ˌɪntəˈmɪʃən/
    noun
    An interval between two parts of the same story. Often mistaken for an ending.


    The All-Star Game is supposed to be harmless. Bright lights, broadcast smiles, forced camaraderie, famous rivals pretending none of it matters.

    Shane can handle all of that. What he cannot handle is Ilya two corridors away, wearing the wrong jersey, captaining the wrong team, and acting like they are not in love.

    Then a bomb threat empties the arena before puck drop. The players are told to stay in their dressing rooms. The delay becomes a lockdown. The lockdown becomes captivity.

    Below the ice, with the league’s most valuable players held as hostages, Shane and Ilya have to survive the night without reaching for each other, without giving themselves away, and without letting fear turn into something worse.

    OR
    A hostage crisis, three targeted All-Stars, and Shane trying not to lose his mind every time Ilya opens his mouth.
