    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

    Shane has always believed survival meant discipline. Precision. Powering through the noise, the pressure, the parts of himself that never quite fit. Hockey gave him rules when the world didn’t, and he learned to excel inside that structure even as everything else scraped him raw.

    Ilya notices what no one else does.

    Quiet adjustments, steady presence, and the refusal to treat Shane’s needs like flaws. When the idea Shane has been running from finally takes shape, it doesn’t break him. It reframes everything. The anger. The exhaustion. The brilliance.

    This is not a story about fixing what’s broken.

    It’s about learning a language for the way Shane’s mind has always worked, and what becomes possible when he stops fighting it. It’s about love that makes room instead of taking space. About a rivalry that becomes partnership. And about what happens when understanding doesn’t just change a player, but reshapes the game itself.

    Because some legacies aren’t written in records.

    They’re written in who gets to stay.

    Summary

    "Helvar's a fucking dick," Nina still whines an hour later around a mouthful of waffle, tongue poking out to gather a droplet of maple syrup at the corner of her mouth. "Can you believe he told me my argument was decent?"

    Jesper shakes his head, wide-eyed and his hand over his heart in faux-bewilderment. "Unbelievable," he agrees.

    "Very rude of him," Wylan concurs.

    __

    Nina and Matthias regularly clash against each other at Debate Club.

    They might find some common ground if they could stop yelling at each other for more than one goddamn minute.
