    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

    “He did this to you?” His voice was smooth Russian velvet as he glanced towards Tommy’s withering form.

    Shane swallowed hard. “N-no , I-I’m fine.”

    The alpha’s eyes darkened slightly at the lie.

    Behind him, another man approached quickly. Similar features. Older. Scar across his jaw. “Pakhan,” he said quietly in Russian before glancing toward Shane. “We should leave.”

    Pakhan.. Russian? Fuck, Pakhan … Pakhan meant boss.. the Alpha was the boss.. a Russian boss. Holy shit.

    Summary

    The Québec provincial registration portal crashes multiple times because of traffic. It does this every year, like clockwork, and no one is ever surprised. Every year people try to figure out which celebrities have signed up, which big names in hockey may or may not participate. Rumors spread for weeks during the registration process: anonymous athlete sightings, leaked scent profiles, illegal drones trying to map out any new protected zones and flesh out anything that may have changed about the old ones.

    Shane stares at the blinking cursor beside his name.

    OMEGA CLASSIFICATION VERIFIED

    Summary

    “I know you’re there,” he spoke gently, proud when his voice sounded nearly confident in spite of the way his hands were shaking under his desk, “I’ve seen you.”

    The air in front of him seemed to shimmer in a way that was almost corporeal. Beneath his lab coat, the hair on his arms was standing on end.

    Suddenly, so softly that it could hardly be called a whisper, a man’s voice answered, “So what if I am here? What would it matter anyway?”

    Or, a scientist and a skeptic, new Team Physician Dr. Ilya Rozanov holds no belief in ghosts or ghouls or anything remotely supernatural, but soon even he can’t ignore the strange and inexplicable occurrences happening around the university’s sports complex.

    Hollander Arena isn’t haunted… except for it sort of, probably is.

    Summary

    “I could be your three out of three.”

    When Shane blinks at him, Rozanov pushes his hair back, curls bouncing back wetly.

    “I am an alpha, yes? And I am single. Sometimes, I am asshole. This I admit. Charming asshole, but still asshole. But I would–for you, I would be nice.”

    Shane Hollander has a plan for his first natural heat in five years: Hayden’s couch, strict boundaries, and absolutely no complications.

    The plan did not account for Ilya Rozanov.

    Summary

    “Hayden, give it-” 

    “I don’t think so buddy!” Hayden teases, sing-song; post game adrenaline making him giddy. “I think if you’re ditching us to go hang out with some girl, we deserve the courtesy of at least knowing what she looks like.”

    There’s a general grumbling of approval amongst the team, and fear starts to ice down Shane’s spine.

    “No, Hayden.” he tries, desperation growing and grabbing at his friend’s arm. “This isn’t funny, stop-”

    Summary

    “Shane.”

    “Don’t. Just don’t, please?” He finally looks up at the mirror to see Ilya standing behind him through the reflection.

    He steps a little closer and he can feel the heat of him on his back. He feels the tension through his body slip away as Ilya’s body heat and smell surround him.

    “Did he do that to you?” He finally asks after a moment of silence.

    -

    Shane loved his simple and domesticated life as an omega, or so he thought. But his husband’s constant work trips had him feeling more lonely than he cared to admit to anyone. What happens when he meets an alpha who makes him feel things his over controlling husband/alpha has never made him feel? Now he has to navigate these confusing feelings for someone who isn't his mate.


    Or: Omega Shane meets Alpha Ilya, except Shane is married. But Ilya is in love and is determined to save him.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander agrees to an arranged marriage because refusing could start a war. He expected a transactional relationship, minimal emotional involvement, and maybe some occasional awkward small talk.

    Instead he gets a six-foot-three stupidly attractive Russian alpha who is apparently determined to follow Shane around campus like an overprotective guard dog.

    meanwhile Ilya Rozanov was fully prepared for a spoiled, haughty omega.

    But Shane was earnest, stole his cloths, cried over his gunshot wound, and called him mine in front of his father.

    Now Ilya’s a little obsessed.

    Summary

    The sound Shane makes now is not a whine or a whimper. It’s the sound of an omega. It’s the sound of an omega in distress.

    “Did he just—” someone says from behind him.

    “Shit, Marleau, did you just bitch Shane Hollander?”

    --OR--

    Shane gets hit hard enough to trigger a traumatic omegatisation, which sends an entire stadium of alphas into frenzy. Ilya needs to get him off the ice, away from the danger, and onto his knot.

    Summary

    Shane is an omega. Ilya is an alpha. Their compatibility is… inconveniently high, but that’s hardly their problem. When Shane’s heat hits, Ilya helps. When Ilya’s rut comes around, well. It only seems fair to return the favor.

    It’s practical. It’s efficient. It works.

    It doesn’t mean anything. Really.

    Summary

    Welcome to 2025 MHL — where being gay isn’t a scandal, but having the Big Bad Russian Alpha Captain of Boston Raiders openly thirsting over the Pretty Omega Rookie of Montreal Metros definitely is.

    Nineteen year-old Shane Hollander just wanted to play hockey. After a viral scandal – collapsing on the ice and experiencing his first heat on national television during the International Prospect Cup – the Montreal Metros gave him a chance to rewrite his narrative. A life-changing entry contract. A media spotlight. And the title of the first omega in the MHL.

    Enter Ilya Rozanov: twenty-nine-year-old MHL veteran, Boston Raiders captain, and resident villain fans love to hate. An alpha who never forgets a pretty face once he’s seen it.

    And Shane Hollander has a very pretty face.

    A story for those who love confident, experienced Ilya courting a shy and overwhelmed Shane, who tries very hard to pretend he doesn’t enjoy it. Expect a ten-year age gap, primal tension, and an alpha taking care of his Babyboy Shane in public and private. Potential daddy kink.

    Semi-omegaverse. No mpreg. No babies. (I don’t like babies, sorry, lmao.)

    Slow-burn progression.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is twenty-three, overqualified, and hiding something. After a bad ending at his last restaurant he takes a position at L'oiseau Loup with one rule for himself: keep the scent patches on, keep his head down, and don't give anyone a reason to look too closely.

    Ilya Rozanov is already looking too closely.
    Montreal's most decorated chef has built his reputation on knowing exactly what something is the moment it reaches him. Shane is quickly becoming the one thing in his kitchen he can't place — and that, more than anything, is what makes him dangerous.

    or: Shane and Ilya both work on an up and coming fine dining restaurant where Shane tries to hide his omega assignment and Ilya is dead set on finding out the addictive scent that has been distracting him on the line.

    Summary

    He didn't know the lore. He'd spent his life on suppressants, reading hockey stats instead of Omega biology, studying playbooks instead of presentation pamphlets. He didn't know that if an Omega spent their first true, unmedicated heat in the presence of an Alpha who protected them, the brain didn't care about "hooking up" or "sexual gratification." The brain cared about safety. The brain cared about the one who proved, through the fire of biological imperative, that they would not hurt you, would not use you, would not abandon you to the wolves.

    Or: after years of avoiding heats, his suppressants fail and Shane falls into early heat in the middle of hockey camp. Ilya finds him and takes care of him, while being terrified.

    Summary

    He forces his lips to part, slow and measured, the way he does in media interviews when a question lands too close to the truth. “I’ve been on the same protocol for years. There haven’t been any issues. I just need a refill.”
    “There haven’t been any reported issues,” she corrects, folding her hands. “Shane, you haven’t let your body regulate since you were eleven. You’ve gone through over seventy suppressed cycles, and your hormone levels are showing signs of—”
    “I don’t care.”
    “You should.”
    “I said I don’t care.” His voice is flat, sharp. “I have a game in forty-eight hours.”

    Summary

    Shane’s ready to finally put his foot down and call an end to the years-long situation he’s found himself with Ilya Rozanov.

    It’s not fair to Ilya, for Shane to harbour feelings for him in secret, to want more than what’s being willingly offered.

    And it’s not fair to Shane either, to have these precious moments with the man he wants so much more from, knowing that at the end of the night, he’ll be returning to his hotel room alone, only the occasional text to tide him over until the next time they meet.

    But fate has other plans in mind, and Shane has to decide for himself whether he’s willing to fight for what he wants.
