    Summary

    "Now," the announcer says, "Let’s head over to the recap of Women’s Figure Skating, where the nineteen-year-old from the United States was able to snatch the gold in a stunning upset from the frontrunner, Russian Individual Neutral Athlete, eighteen-year-old Irina Rosanov.”

    And there she is, in a pink rhinestoned costume, gargling water and spitting it out of perfectly painted lips. Hands on hips, taking deep breaths before skating out onto the ice.

    Shane’s hand is immediately on the remote, moving to change the channel.

    “It’s fine,” Ilya says, “Want to see.”

    He tries not to keep track of her career, but when it's playing on the screen like this, it's hard to look away. She is the spitting image of his mother, curly blonde hair, lithe frame, piercing blue eyes. She is her namesake. And he doesn’t know her at all.

    -

    Or, Ilya's niece receives her trust fund. She comes looking for answers (and finds a home, while she's at it).

    Summary

    ‘David, is Ilya. Have suddenly got upset stomach. Sorry.’
    Too cliched.
    ‘David, have broken both legs. Do not send ambulance. Will walk it off. Regards, Ilya.’
    Too melodramatic.
    ‘David, do not want to go. This is Ilya.’
    Too cruel.
    ‘David, I cannot embarrass you. You mean too much to me. Love, Ilya.’
    Too true.
    Fifth time’s a charm and Ilya sent ‘On my way!’ instead. David’s reply was immediate, ‘We’re gonna make a night of it, bud!’

    Or: Ilya is David's plus one for a function and is utterly unprepared for how David has been talking about him at work.

    Summary

    NHL golden boy Shane Hollander has spent his entire life being perfect — the ideal captain, the flawless teammate, the face of the franchise. He’s also spent his entire life hiding.

    When a chance encounter in a New York club leads him to Ilya Rozanov, Shane discovers what it means to finally let go. The problem? Ilya isn’t just confident, wealthy, and dangerously attractive. He’s also the heir to the Russian Bratva’s North American empire.

    What starts as one reckless weekend becomes something neither of them expected: real, consuming, and worth protecting at any cost — even when that cost includes bodies, lies, and a secret that could destroy everything Shane has built.

    Twenty-five years, three Stanley Cups, countless threats, and one question: how far will you go for the person who makes you feel like yourself?

    Summary

    "Is that what they're callin' you now? Warboy?"

    "I suppose so, sir."

    ✯✯✯

    The 1960s were a turbulent time. Vietnam raged overseas, and America simmered with unrest. But for Cassius Grant, life was supposed to be simpler: take over his late father's cattle ranch, keep his head down, and honor the legacy left behind.

    He never expected war to come knocking on his front door. And he certainly didn't expect Wyatt Fortner.

    As the draft looms and the world grows more dangerous, Cassius finds himself torn between duty, desire, and survival. In a time when love between two men is not just forbidden but dangerous, Cassius must navigate the unforgiving land he calls home, and the even harsher terrain of the battlefield.

    All he wants is to make it out alive-alive enough to love and be loved in return.

    Summary

    “You didn’t like it the last time we tried it,” Shane said.

    Ilya gave a one-shouldered shrug. “Was years ago. Maybe it is an acquired taste, like licorice.”

    “You also don’t like licorice,” Shane pointed out.

    “Yes, but I keep trying it because Luca likes it so much.”

    “And then you make a face and tell him how awful it is.”

    “When have I ever told you your dick is awful?” Ilya said, looking mildly offended. “I am its number one fan.”

    Summary

    People like him for what his hands can do. A guy his size, with hands that big, and the son of a boxer too? He was born for this. At least that’s what people keep saying.

    He does his best to be gracious. When somebody gives you a compliment, it’s rude not to say thank you.

    Ryan thought he knew what it meant to be a man. Then Fabian came along and unraveled it all. He did it piece by piece, and all it took was his hands, his mouth, his eyes. An exploration of masculinity and love through the body.

    Summary

    JJ didn't think the others saw it. Hayden, maybe, but Jackie was the only WAGs's name Shane had committed to memory so Hayden never brought it up. JJ didn't have a wife or girlfriend. He had his hookups and the names of the best restaurants in each city they player in. If JJ had a dog, Shane would probably mix its name up with Drapeau's. The others didn't get that however pathetic or sad they might think Shane, Shane thought the same of them tenfold when they missed shots at practice or ate fast food on weekdays. Shane wasn't being prissy or funny when he said, don't embarass me—JJ still doesn't know exactly what it was, but he doesn't care to find out.

    Shane had poured everything into his team (possessively: it was his team) and he asked them to give it back that day, so they delivered. When Shane smiled at them afterwards, it felt like love.

    Character study on neurotic batshit hardass Captain Shane Hollander. The awe-inspiring and aloof Canadian Hockey Jesus Shane Hollander. Unwilling MLH sex icon Shane Hollander, the face on many mens' dart boards.

    or, JJ on the enigma of (his feelings for) Shane Hollander over the years.

    Summary

    Hayden knows what he saw. Clear as day, right there in the middle of Shane’s text thread with Lily.

    A dick pic.

    Hayden keeps mindlessly scrolling Instagram—a pantomime of paying attention, not really taking in anything that’s passing across his screen. Mind racing as a series of realizations wash over him.

    Christ, no wonder Shane was so cagey about Lily. No wonder he didn’t want to introduce her to the guys.

    Hayden would like to believe that everyone would be chill with it, but he could think of at least five guys off the top of his head that would a hundred percent take issue with Shane dating a trans woman. He can imagine, far too easily, the kind of slurs that would get thrown around the locker room if anyone ever found out. Towards Lily, sure, but towards Shane too—because Shane had to be gay, if his girlfriend had a dick, right?

     
    Or, Hayden finds out something that he was never supposed to, and decides that the only thing he can do is show his best friend that he can be the best ally ever, if he just gives him the chance.

    Ilya is always flirting with new ways to inspire Shane to press him into walls. In hindsight, he really shouldn't be surprised to find this is one of them.

    He just doesn't expect to also learn something new about himself in the process.

    Summary

    Shane sat on the edge of the lounger, his eyes fixed on Ilya’s hands as he rolled. He was in total awe. Watching Ilya was like watching a master craftsman; there was a fluid sort of grace to the way his large, scarred fingers manipulated the delicate paper. The hands that spent all winter punching pucks and shoving opponents were suddenly performing a task that required the precision of a watchmaker.

    He licked the adhesive strip with a quick swipe of his tongue and sealed it, twisting the end into a neat point. 

    “Fuck” Shane nearly moaned.

    Ilya chuckled. “We have not even started moy kotenok. Be patient.”

    Ilya grabbed the lighter from the table and lit the end, the cherry glowing a bright, steady orange. He took a small, controlled puff to ensure it was burning evenly, then turned to Shane. “Okay. Do not pull like you are gasping for air. Just a soft breath. Into the mouth, then take a little fresh air with it to the lungs. Then, hold it for a second before breathing out.”

    Or: After figuring out some patterns and doing research, Shane smokes weed for the first time and thoroughly enjoys himself.

    “We figure a lot of it is going to be old junk,” Shane admitted. “But, apparently, this is the last of Ilya’s dad’s things from the old house. So, at least there won’t be more coming after this.”

    Yuna pressed an open palm to her chest sweetly. “Aww. That must be very emotional for you, Ilya.”

    Her Russian son’s face flattened, and he sucked his teeth. “Not really. Just one more chore my brother is pawning off on me, really.”

    “Oh come on,” she tisked. “There could be all kinds of old memories and family keepsakes in there you might want!”

    “Doubt it.”

    Summary

    Whimpering, Shane looked down between their bodies. Ilya’s other hand dragged slowly down Shane’s chest, over his trembling stomach, and came to rest just below his navel. There, pressed against Ilya’s own abdomen, was a soft, distinct bulge.

    “See?” Ilya whispered, his eyes glowing with a feral light. “That’s me. Inside you.”

    He pressed down with his fingers, right on the bulge.

    Shane screamed.
