    Summary

    He heard the alarm echo from the bedroom. Beep. Beep. Beep.

    But Shane had been up for almost two hours already. Had given up on falling asleep. Instead he sat in his silent living room with his second cup of green tea. Exhausted and miserable. They had a game tonight. And another the day after. Fuck.

    -

    Or: Sleep didn't come easily most nights for reclusive hockey superstar Shane Hollander. Until a young Russian talent joins the team. Until they stumble upon an easy solution to Shane's insomnia.

    Why now, why a teammate he was only getting to know? Why someone young who would soon get tired of this strange arrangement, tired of his fucking team captain cuddling like a touch-starved teenager? Why didn't this happen when he'd tried dating? Was Shane just pathetically lonely?

    (Yes, the solution to Shane's insomnia is sharing a bed, you know me, of course it is.)

    Summary

    mar·ces·cence /mɑːrˈsɛs.əns/ noun
    The phenomenon where a plant retains its dead, withered leaves through the winter instead of dropping them in autumn. The state of un-shed foliage losing its colour, drying out, and breaking apart under harsh elements while remaining rigidly attached to the branch.

    *

    No one can know Shane's an omega, and no one can know he's slowly falling apart. So Shane puts his gear on, locks his trembling knees, and steps back onto the ice.

    His mate doesn’t want him. His mate doesn’t want him. Ilya doesn’t want him.

    Summary

    “I’m tired,” the little girl complains, skating from the group to hug Hollander’s knees.

    Hollander huffs a quiet laugh. “Grandma will be here soon,” he says, picking her up, sitting her perfectly on his hip. She lays her head on his shoulder, and they look so alike, it's startling.

    “Is that—Hollander,” Ilya says with disbelief. Hollander freezes, turning to look at Ilya. His brown eyes are wide, and he looks just as surprised as Ilya feels. “Is that your daughter?”
    __

    Shane abruptly quits hockey and disappears off the face of the earth without a trace. When Ilya moves to the Centaurs, the last person he expects to see is Shane teaching a bunch of kids how to skate and play hockey with his daughter in tow.

    Summary

    Arthur Pendragon and Merlin were literally from two different worlds. One is a prince from a great kingdom and the other a common farm boy from the next kingdom over. These two should have never met.

    But that was before they realized their parents were once friends and arranged the two of them to marry when they reached adulthood. That was before Uther turned on magic and Hunith went on the run with her infant son.

    Now almost twenty years have passed and these two boys have grown into men. Camelot knights have found Hunith and come to collect her son.

    Will Merlin survive this new world he has been thrusted into? A peasant among royals, a sorcerer among those that would have him killed if they found out. Can Merlin even begin to hope for happiness when the prince he is forced to marry wants nothing to do with him?

    Follows canon but with my own arranged marriage spin to it

    Summary

    He shouldn’t have done it.
    Sleeping with his king — in the state Arthur was in that night.
    The worst part is, he doesn’t even remember all of it.— Just enough.

    The kiss. Arthur’s mouth, warm against his own. The breathless moans pulled from his throat. The way it felt like he was drunk — but even without the potion that caused all of this, Merlin knew one touch from Arthur would make him feel like he'd spent two whole weeks drinking in the tavern.

    And flashes of what came next.
    Enough to know that this time, he truly fucked up.
    So when he wakes, naked in his king’s bed, Merlin does the only thing he can — he grabs his clothes and runs.
    He barely makes it to Gaius’s chambers, disheveled and panicked, only to find the old man already holding the book Merlin now realizes — far too late — he mistranslated.
    And in that moment, it hits him. There is no undoing this.

    “Merlin,” Gaius says, voice low “pack your things. Go as far away as you can."
    “You’re carrying His Majesty’s child.”

    Or

    Arthur was being too much, and Merlin—a clumsy fool—mistranslated an ancient text and brewed a potion meant to calm His Majesty, only to end up pregnant with the king’s child instead.
