Summary
Rozanov opened his mouth again. And just liked that, all of Shane’s fears – everything he’d worked so hard to hide, everything he’d given his body, heart, and soul for over the last ten years – came crumbling down around him. With one word, Rozanov ended Shane’s entire world with not a bang, but one, single whisper.
“Omega.”
He wasn’t proud of it. But despite his exhaustion, despite the way his lungs felt as though they may collapse against the very ribs holding them up, Shane did the only thing he could think to do.
He turned, and he ran.
—
Shane Hollander is one of the best players in the NHL. He has everything: money, fame, family, success. But there’s one thing no one - and he means no one - can know:
Shane Hollander is an omega.
And Ilya Rosanov is the only person who knows.

Summary
It’s a bitterly cold night in 2017 when Roy Kent meets Jamie Tartt at the Etihad Stadium, and as much as he tries to deny it, there’s something…special, about the little prick. Something that makes him want to throw his own rules out the window and maybe, for once in his life, be brave.
What he doesn’t know - what he couldn’t have known - is that this one meeting is about to fuck up his entire life.
(Or, lovers to enemies, enemies to lovers, and everything before and in between)
Pre-Canon through season one.

Summary
“There’s a lot coming up,” Roy says, instead of all that. “With the manager position, and shit. I need some time to think about,” he gestures vaguely between them, “this.”
Jamie nods, slowly, lips pursed together. “Alright,” he says again.
Roy really hates that fucking word.
“You ought to take a trip or something, Coach,” Jamie says, flopping back down onto the pillows, making no move to leave Roy’s bed despite the whole needing space thing. “Take a holiday before the season starts. Get your head on straight.”
That - isn’t the worst idea Jamie’s ever had, really.
---
Or, the seven days in which Roy loses his fucking mind, thanks to Jamie. -

Summary
“What the fuck are you doing here?”
From where he’s perched on Roy’s chair, one leg pulled up to his chest to rest his chin on his knee, Jamie scoffs. His hair - left a touch longer since the last time Roy saw him - looks wet, like he’s only recently showered, and Roy feels the familiar twitch of irritation in his throat at Jamie’s flippant use of the Richmond facilities, despite not having played for them for the better part of seven years.
“Hello to you too, Coach,” Jamie grins, wide and toothy, his sharp teeth glinting in the harsh fluorescent light. “Did you miss me?”
--
Ten years after Ted leaves - and seven since leaving Richmond - Jamie comes home to Roy.

Summary
It’s important for Roy to make it clear: he’s not afraid of a fucking journal.
Just for some reason, he can't seem to stop writing about Jamie fucking Tartt.
(or, Dr. Sharon assigns Roy therapy homework, and it leads to some realizations along the way)

Summary
“Hi Harry,” he greets shyly. “Sorry, let me step aside, you can -,” Louis gestures around him, his feet accidentally kicking against the box. “I didn’t realize the delivery person would just drop it here and not at my door.”
Harry hums, but doesn’t move around him. “Is it heavy? I can help you carry it.”
Louis starts shaking his head before Harry even finishes his sentence. “No, that’s kind, but no. I can do it.” Because, well, Harry has a bit of a reputation as being the building’s curmudgeon. He’s been known to complain about loud music, and even snapping at some of the younger residents, let alone the few times that Louis has had the experience of running into him in the mailroom and when taking the trash down. Honestly, Louis doesn’t have the emotional wherewithal to handle him right now.
Harry doesn’t quite meet his eyes when he turns to look at Louis. But, Louis notices his jaw tick and his eyes close briefly before saying: “I think I should help.”
And, well, okay.
Or: Louis has touch depri and Harry is the alpha neighbor that offers to help.

Summary
There is nothing Simon Snow loves more in life than football. And there's really nothing in Baz Pitch's life other than football.
Baz Pitch is the star player of Mummers United FC, a low tier club he's singled-handedly put on the maps, along with the tiny northern town of Watford-on-Mummers. Simon Snow is a footie fanatic, founder of the MumU supporter section, and owner of the Sun and Goat pub. He's built a living out of watching Baz play, and it doesn't even matter that they haven't spoken since they were kids. Simon knows, no matter what, Baz Pitch is going to be the greatest player England has ever seen.
So why is Baz Pitch living in a middle terrace in the middle of nowhere, day drinking and doing (bad) yoga?

Summary
Louis ’Blue Eyes’ Tomlinson is a thing of legend, a bit of a mystery really, a shadow in the fringes of the eye. There are rumors around the precinct that he wasn’t even born, just crawled out of the sewage left on the street after a strong storm. No one has ever attributed a good omen or a holy deed to him, not a decent quality to his lot. All except for Harry Styles, socialite butterfly and adopted son of high politician Simon Cowell, who lowers himself every once in a way to hang out with the gang.
When people begin to go missing and winding up mutilated, their parts having been ripped out, it begins a race against time to solve who is behind the attacks and why the bodies keep getting dumped in Louis' territory.

Summary
“Lou,” he said quietly. “My hand.”
Anne leaned in before Louis could answer, smoothing a thumb over Harry’s shoulder. “It’ll be alright, love.”
Harry frowned at her, impatient even half-conscious. “That’s my dominant one.”
Then he turned his head back toward Louis, green eyes clearer now, searching his face for the truth.
“Lou.”
Louis felt his own chest tighten. Of course this would be the thing. The bakery. The dough, the piping bags, the muscle memory Harry trusted more than language some days.
Or: Louis and Harry are happily married until a car accident leaves Harry facing a long recovery, chronic pain, and a body that doesn’t feel like his anymore. Louis copes the only way he knows how: medication alarms, humor, and a stubborn refusal to fall apart. Unfortunately, denial is not a long-term care plan.
Or: Harry changes, Louis cracks, and Patricia the shower bench becomes part of the family.
