Summary
Shane scoffs, throwing his hands up. “I just want to figure this out. We have to live together, we should be—“
“We should be what?” Ilya laughs. “Braiding each other’s hair like girls, yes?”
“No. I— I just don’t think we need to be so hostile.
“You think I’m hostile,” Ilya says.
“I said we,” Shane answers. As frustrating as Ilya is, Shane will also own up for his behavior that sometimes occurs when Ilya pushes him to his limit. All he wants is the privilege of an education. The experience of college. He won't let his roommate ruin that.
“I don’t like you,” Ilya says plainly. “You are irritating, and you are boring. In two years, we will be done with hockey and college, and neither of us will have existed to each other. Let it be that.”(Or: Ilya Rozanov is a rich kid who has been kicked out of another university. His new university, while not bad, tries to give him a new roommate. Shane Hollander is a sweetheart who hasn't had an easy life after the loss of both of his parents. After doing some ugly things to make ends meet, all he wants is a normal, happy college experience and an education that would make his mom proud, while trying to balance the hideous things still chasing him.)

Summary
In 2003, Shane Hollander is assigned a PenPal, and gains a friend. A friend who smokes, calls him boring, and gives him ridiculous nicknames.
Across the world, Ilya Rozanov practices his English with a curious Canadian boy whose name he can't fucking remember.
Or, before they were Canada's Shane Hollander and Russia's Ilya Rozanov, they were Cat and Elijah. Shane has no reason to suspect his childhood PenPal is his hockey rival, and Ilya has never even considered that the man he's falling for is also the boy he already fell in love with through letters and postcards.

Summary
Little Ilya, 6 years old, moved to Canada with his mom and older brother as refugees. He doesn’t know what happened to Papa. He just gave them a kiss on the head and a last hug, then put them on a plane that took them to a whole other continent.
He lives now in a building full of people who, just like them, understand little to no English. The only thing that is just like home is the ice rink.
o-o-o-o-o
Shane is a competitive boy, whose only dream is becoming a professional hockey player.
Hockey is first. Always has been.
Even if he has to hide who he really is, to fit in the toxic culture of the sport he loves.
Slow burn, Hollanov. Explicit Shayden.

Summary
Shane Hollander is old money, flawless, and untouched. Ilya Rozanov is new money, reckless, and loud. For years, their bitter rivalry was a perfect public performance.
Then they were kidnapped, stripped of their names, and locked in a freezing concrete box with a single narrow bed.
For weeks, the script burns. The hatred warps. And by the time the cage door finally opens, the real nightmare begins. Because outside, they have two separate lives, but inside, they’ve already become each other’s only fix.

Break Me Alpha (i think i'm doing this wrong) by ClairAragon

Summary
At twenty-five, Shane works from home in cyber security. He gets all his groceries delivered. He avoids the outside world whenever possible. Finally—finally—he caves to his parents’ insistence that it’s time to purchase an omega.
Ilya is supposed to be difficult. That’s what the auction house warned him, anyway. They aren’t wrong. Between the language barrier, the violent mood swings, incessant noise, and feral behaviors, Ilya is nothing like the obedient omegas Shane is raised to expect. Half the time, Shane can’t tell if the man hates him, fears him, or is losing his damn mind. Probably all of them, all the time. The other half of the time, Ilya watches him like he’s waiting for Shane to spring a trap. News flash: there isn’t one.
Shane doesn't have any inkling of what he’s doing. He’s never shared space with another human being before. Let alone an omega who doesn't understand personal space. As the walls crack between them, Shane notices things he never questioned before. He realizes there is something deeply troubling in the world he grew up in.
