Summary
Shane gasped and stumbled backwards. “Three weeks? You decided-” his hands flew to his mouth. “How could you do this without talking to me? This is what? To punish me because I won’t come out on your timeline?”
Ilya felt a stab of anger. “You won’t come out on any timeline!”
Shane blinked at him. “I literally drove here tonight because I wanted to know if you would accept six to twelve months!”
“A timeline,” he barked. “This is our lives, Shane. I want to be with you fully now. I know you are scared, but you need to be brave, and I am so deeply fucking unhappy being your dirty little secret.”
“That’s not fair Ilya, it’s going to be complicated for me. I’m already the only Asian captain in the league! The media, sponsors, the Voyageurs? It’s going to need to be carefully managed-”
After the Boxing Day fight, Ilya makes an impulsive decision and agrees to a trade to Vancouver, while Shane stays in Montreal and nurses his broken heart. But an ending isn't always an ending, and the spectre of their love burns far too brightly to go down easy. A tale of love, heartache, redemption, and forging the happiness you deserve for yourself.

Summary
"Absolutely not," Yoongi deadpanned. "Namjoon-ah. I value you as a friend, and I think I'd even go as far as to say that you're my best friend, but absolutely fucking not."
"You owe me," Namjoon pleaded. "Come on, Yoongi, it's not a big deal."
"Your boyfriend's best friend's best friend needs a fake boyfriend to come out to his family this Chuseok, all the way in fucking Busan." Yoongi repeated drily without pause, making Namjoon wince. He flipped a page of his textbook, picking up his highlighter. "Not a big deal, Namjoon. Amazing."

Summary
"Go home, Choi San. You’ve strayed too far."
"I think I strayed just far enough," he said with a piercing look in his eyes like he had found diamonds amongst copper. "But if you wish for me to leave, then I will go."
He watched as the wolf stood, brushing off his pants before looking over his face again.
"I will return tomorrow night," he informed.
"Don't," Wooyoung hissed, baring his fangs. "You don’t belong here."
"I am afraid I have to disagree," he hummed, a smirk teasing his lips upward. "I belong wherever you are, Wooyoung."
///or///
Choi San is the alpha of his wolf pack who desires nothing more than their safety and prosperity, and Wooyoung is a fox omega who desires more than the ways of his ancestors.
What will happen when San imprints on the last omega he could ever expect to?

Summary
Wooyoung has been secretly fooling around with the football team captain, San, for almost a year.
It's easy and it doesn't threaten the peaceful life he has been building for himself.
However, the perfect illusion crumbles when he realises that he doesn't want San to be a secret anymore, even if that means facing a past he has been running from for a really long time.
