    Summary

    "Hi!" Shane beamed. "I'm Shane Hollander and I live across the street! I brought you some cookies!" He held the plate up to her, practically vibrating with excitement.

    "Thank you!" She accepted the plate and turned back into the house. "Ilya! Come here!"

    Shane heard footsteps coming downstairs and within the next few seconds a boy who looked to be about his age with curly blond hair appeared. When he realized Shane was standing there, he tried to hide behind his mother's dress.

    Summary

    The story is the one you know. Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov are the two best hockey players in the league. On the ice, they’re fierce rivals. Off the ice, they share a bed, share secrets, share their hearts.

    But in a world where soulmates exist, where at a young age you form a mental connection with the one who was made for you, what happens when the lines between what’s in your head and what’s in front of you begin to blur? When Ilya is desperate for the man that he talks to every day who is both blunt and shy? When Shane is searching for the man whose voice matches the low, accented one in his head?

    What happens when you fall in love with the same man twice, and you don’t even realize it?

    AKA the Hollanov “you share a telepathic connection with your soulmate” AU of my dreams

    Summary

    At the age of 22, Shane Hollander has never had sex. Not because he doesn't want to, but because he's strict about only sleeping with someone he's truly committed to. Except for the past few months he's regularly making out with Ilya Rozanov, his best friend of three years, and it drives Ilya so crazy that Shane lets him go jerk off in the bathroom after nothing more than just kissing. But as the weeks pass and the want between them grows, Shane starts to realize that the person he's been waiting for might have been there all along.

    Summary

    “English is… is not first language,” the woman said quietly. Her accent was thick, and unmistakably Russian.

    “Oh, sorry! I’m speaking too fast, aren’t I? Sorry,” she took a breath, and held out her hand. “I’m Yuna,” she repeated. The woman took her hand quickly, her hands bony and delicate.

    “Irina,” she replied, before gesturing for Yuna to sit with her. Quickly, Yuna did. “Sorry, I have not been in Canada long.”

    “No problem at all; welcome to Canada! Is that your boy?” Yuna asked, gesturing over to the child that had similar hair to Irina, which was poking out from under his helmet. He was taller than Shane, though his little hockey outfit still seemed to still dwarf him. He had a serious look on his face, but his eyes were light as he watched the other boys play. He was tapping his stick on the ice, clearly itching to get into the game.

    “Ah, yes,” Irina nodded, taking a few seconds to translate the question, “Ilyusha.” Irina looked over at her son, a small smile on her face. “Is my Ilya.”

    Or: Ilya and Irina move to Canada for a fresh start when he is six years old. He meets Shane Hollander at ice hockey practice, and they grow up together (and of course, fall in love).
