Summary
No matter how many times they meet and his eyes flicker with dim recognition, whether it’s at the dive bar on Beacon Street or the French cafe near TD Garden, she wonders which will happen first: Ilya Rozanov realizing she’s twins with the guy he’s been hooking up with since his rookie season, or that he’s in love with said guy.
Of course, she also feels the same curiosity every time Shane tells her he has to end it, only to fall right back into Rozanov’s lap.
Boys are so dumb, honestly. It’s a shame she’s quite fond of them both.

Summary
“Aww, don’t be embarrassed Haasy. Just don’t tell him about your Ilya Rozanov poster and you can definitely pull this swimmer boy!” Ilya said.
The only thing more mortifying than getting caught watching borderline thirst traps of your crush is having your hockey idol (and childhood crush) talking about your dating life.
Luca closed his eyes, his blush no doubt crawling up further from his neck all the way to his forehead.
“Who’s Haasy gonna pull?” Harris asked, walking into the barbeque with a crate of cider and Troy by his side.
“Oh, kill me now”
-----
Or during a summer trip to Colorado Springs Luca meets Matthew Vasquez, American Olympic swimming prodigy, energetic extrovert, and a sucker for those beautiful blue eyes.
What ensues is a beautifully chaotic montage of text flirting, sunscreen thirst traps, jumbo tron sightings, hickies, and sweet morning afters. Prepare yourself for truckloads of fluff and angst and yearning as the youngest and most beloved member of the Centaurs learns how scary and freeing and uniquely intimate it is to give your heart over to someone else.
Or Luca Haas falls in love

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.
