    Summary

    “Can’t hang out tonight, Hayd. I have plans.”

    “Bullshit,” Hayden responds. “You never have plans.”

    Objectively, this used to be true. Nowadays Shane has many, many plans, between his nightly plans to look at Ilya’s penis through Skype and his various long-term plans laid out helpfully in his notebook, Canva (For Ilya’s sake. He is a visual learner), and more recently, Excel. Shane loves that excel sheet. He’s colour coded it.

     

    In 2017, Shane Hollander spirals and proposes to his boyfriend of 4 days (or 7 years, or 9 years, or not his boyfriend at all, depending on how you look at it), which leads to a lot of plans, weird theories in the Montreal Voyageur locker room, some Twitter drama, and Ilya Rozanov entering his WAG era.

    Summary

    “You are very young, solnyshka,” he murmurs. “It is a man imprudent who plucks a flower not yet in bloom.”

    “Likewise, a man who leaves it on the vine to dry,” she replies pertly.


    There are no plagues in Ravka. No disease, no deformity, no death. The last of the otkazat’sya died out more than two centuries ago from the Great Plague. Only the strongest Grisha survived.

    To see their people endure, Grisha are matched for marriage by the most skilled of the corporalki order; the datchik. The datchik see the best mates paired to ensure the strongest offspring.

    Aleksander is the King's firstborn son. He must marry his equal.

    Alina is the Duke's daughter. She hopes to marry her love.

    Jaded by the ugly price of utopian ideals, Aleksander does not expect the woman matched as his wife to ever become his compatriot for life.


    Update 20 May 2026: Nearly a year later, but I finally got there. Enjoy the final chapters. Thank you for your patience 💕

    Summary

    The first sound Ilya hears is a thin, discordant symphony of beeps and whirs. Something vibrating. 

    The next thing he hears is…wet. A sort of shaking, gargling sound, that feels like the ugliest crying he’s ever heard. And through it, Shane’s voice. 

    “I’m with him now, mom. He’s— he’s not fine. He’s not. I know—”

    Ilya wants to ask who's not fine, but he can’t feel his own body, his mouth, enough to ask.

    “Yeah,” Shane is saying, only slightly calmer. “I know. He wasn’t breathing—"

    Ilya knows there's a link, between the clinical musicality of medical settings, Shane’s audible, awful distress, and his own physical incapacity. It’s just, it’s so tenuous, and the air around him is so thick, so heavy. It would be easy, to sleep, a little. 

    -
    Footage of the last game between Ottawa and Montreal is everywhere; it’s breached containment from the sports world, and now it seems like everyone is baying for Montreal’s blood. Except, Ilya is oblivious. Not exactly blissfully so, but as the fight for accountability within the league rages on without him, Ilya just wants someone, anyone, to tell him what happened.

    Summary

    “Why do I taste blood in your mouth, solnyshko?”

    “I told you, my ex said it’s annoying when I’m too loud during sex. I guess it’s a habit. I bite my tongue sometimes so you won’t have to hear me that much.”

    “And I told you, I need you to give me the name of this ex so I can kill him with my bare hands. Is very serious matter.”
