    Summary

    Four months had passed since his twelfth birthday, and he had become accustomed to his new reality. School in the mornings, hockey practice on most afternoons, and reaping one or two nights a week. On those nights, he would only get one or two hours notice at the most, in the form of a 3x5 index card. It would appear, always in his left pocket, and always with the same information. Tonight was no different.  

    He felt the familiar tingle in his fingertips that always preceded the arrival of the card. He reached into the left pocket of his pajamas and pulled it out to read.

    Summary

    “He wants doll brushes because he’s seen the girls at the park brushing their plushies with them. Their dolls too, obviously. But he wants to brush that pelt you brought him-”

    David sets his crossword book down, giving Yuna his full attention.

    “What?”

    “The pelt of fur? Looks like a wolf, or maybe one of those big cats?” Yuna says, waving her hand dismissively. “Either way, I don’t think doll brushes are the right choice. We can look into getting him a set of actual grooming tools, he needs to learn that the right tools for the right job are an important-”

    “Yuna. Sweetheart.” David interrupts. “I did not buy our son a piece of dead animal as a souvenir from Russia.”

    Ilya loses something important at the airport; years later, Shane gives it back to him.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander, one of the NHL’s best players, gets outed by a paparazzi photo. He loses his locker room, his captaincy and most likely, his career.

    Ilya Rozanov, KHL superstar and prodigy has the worst year of his career. He loses his family, his toxic relationship and, ultimately, his country.

    What happens when they meet on a delayed French train in the middle of a heat wave?

    What happens when they begin to realize that maybe none of those things were losses at all, but opportunities to create something better?

    Summary

    Shane’s eyes snap open. Wait a second.

    “Ilya,” Shane says, propping himself up on his elbows. “Ilya, wake up.”

    Ilya makes a pained noise, eyes still shut. “I shut curtains already.”

    “It’s not that. Ilya, hey. Don’t go back to sleep.” Ilya tries to bury back into Shane’s chest, but adrenaline knifes through Shane’s hangover long enough for him to peel Ilya off and roll him into his back. Ilya blinks blearily up at him, starfished in the sheets. Beautiful and naked and missing his mother’s cross.

     

    OR: When Ilya’s cross goes missing after the Centaurs celebrate their first Stanley Cup win, Shane is determined to get it back. And so are the Centaurs. And the rest of Ottawa.

    Summary

    What do you do when you’re getting married in six months and you have 22 guys whose literal jobs are to do whatever you tell them?

    The Ottawa Centaurs are conscripted to pull off their captain’s wedding. The fact that they still don’t know who he’s marrying is entirely beside the point. (All the signs are there. All of them.)

    UPDATE: Chapter added at the end. The real story is chapters 1-5 (about 13k) with a bonus chapter 6 (about 12k all on its own)
