    Summary

    After retiring, Shane and Ilya built a peaceful life for themselves at the cottage.

    Until Ilya was diagnosed with dementia.

    From that moment on, as everything else begins to blur, Shane remains the one place Ilya can always come back to, the only thing he can still know for certain, the one truth he keeps believing in even when everything else slips away.

    Summary

    Two teenagers were made to hate each other. They spent seventeen years quietly becoming something else. Then a dead woman's letters arrived, and the cursed headcanon came true: what if Lestat was Ilya's biological father?

    Part One — The Version That Stays:
    On his thirty-fifth birthday, all Ilya Rozanov wants is a quiet day with his husband. What he gets is twelve letters from his late mother, and the first answer to a question he never knew to ask.

    Part Two — The Version That Answers:

    The question has a face now, and it's coming to find him. A story about fathers and sons, inherited wounds, terrible coping mechanisms, and the difference between being answered and being loved.

    Summary

    In late October, Ilya picks up some kind of freakish Canadian flu that dogs him into November.

    It is the weirdest shit. He has to duck out of practice because his nose starts bleeding twice in one week and he wakes up in a hotel in Columbus with another one that leaves stains on the pillow. On the flight back to Ottawa, Hazy drops into the seat next to Ilya midflight and asks, "This isn't, like, a cocaine thing, right?"

    Ilya laughs so hard it's probably a little rude.

    They have a plan. Ilya's body has a different plan.

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov has a plan.

    He and Shane are stupidly, disgustingly, almost offensively in love. They want a family. They're ready for the next impossible thing.

    Just one problem: Shane has two good years left on the ice, and while he wants a baby, he is not ready to be pregnant.

    Ilya is.

    Ilya is thirty-seven, retired or close enough to taste it, and in possession of what he considers several important advantages: excellent genetics, Olympic hips, and an undeniable talent for getting exactly what he wants. He would thrive being pregnant. Shane would thrive managing the logistics.

    Ilya offers to carry.

    Is simple. An easy workaround. Two alphas, one rare compatibility loophole, a spreadsheet, and a baby at the end of it.

    Unfortunately, nothing about Ilya Rozanov has ever been simple.

    And that is before the cravings, the hormones, the Jackie Pike alliance, and Hayden Pike’s dawning horror that Shane Hollander may be winning the husband Olympics.

    Jane
    Right
    Well, okay
    I want to try body worship

    Huh. That doesn’t seem so bad. Actually, now that Ilya’s thinking about it, it’s hot, and he almost regrets getting undressed as he wills himself to not get half-hard in this locker room full of idiots.

    Lily
    body worship? when did you get so vain hollander
    you want me to hold you down and taste you everywhere, is that it?

    Jane
    Don’t text me like that when you know I’m still around my team!
    And, no, you asshole
    I meant I want to worship you

    Oh.

    Summary

    Shane’s eyes drop down, landing on Ilya’s mouth—except all that does is bombard him with fifty different images of what Ilya’s lips would look like with saliva dripping down his chin, cheeks rosy-red, gazing up at Shane with hazy, galaxy eyes as he lies naked and ruined in their sheets.

    And then, because Shane never learned how to control his lovesick mind when it comes to Ilya, that thought is immediately accompanied by the image of Ilya all fucked-out, his blushing face panting with the exertion of keeping his thighs spread, of being taken apart. He thinks about Ilya moaning and whimpering, hole fluttering helplessly as Shane teases it with his tongue, his fingers, his cock, thinks about Ilya begging for him, to let him cum—

    “Shane?”

    —and suddenly Shane’s hungry in a completely different way.

    (It’s 8:02 in the morning when Shane watches Ilya sleep—dead to the world, curls a mess, with drool dripping down pink lips and onto their silk pillows—and thinks, I want to fuck my boyfriend.)

    Summary

    Hayden wanted to apologize but wasn’t even sure what to apologize for. “If you’re so embarrassed about your choice of boyfriend, maybe get a better one?”

    It wasn’t any worse than anything Hayden had said before. In fact, it was probably fairly tame as far as insults went, but it didn’t matter. Hayden could see the moment something inside of Shane detonated. One minute Shane was standing only a handful of feet away, his suit jacket clutched in his hands, and the next the jacket was dropped to the floor in a heap, and Shane’s hands were fisted in Hayden’s shirt, his back slamming against the wall.

    Holy fuck, he thought. Shane is going to fucking hit me.

    -

    or, Hayden makes one too many shitty comments about Rozanov and Shane finally snaps. And while he never actually lands a blow on his best friend, the defeated way he talks about ending their friendship has Hayden rattled. After the Centaurs plane makes an emergency landing, Hayden knows he needs to do everything in his power to make it up to his best friend, with Jackie's help of course.

    Summary

    There's no good way to be stuck in an elevator. Not when you're stuck in an elevator with someone who treats being annoying as an art form he wants to perfect, and definitely not when that person is your son's rival who you've hated for years.

    But, when Yuna finds herself stuck in an elevator with Ilya Rozanov, she realises there's more to the story than she'd seen.

    Summary

    Getting information out of Ilya about his family was like getting blood from stone. Maybe harder. It had been one of the first things Shane had noticed about him. Any questions about his parents – the kind of typical things Shane’s mom had taught him to ask to make polite conversations – would result in brusque, emotionless answers or, worse, actual anger.

    But somewhere out there was Irina’s granddaughter. The only remaining blood relative that Ilya gave a shit about.

    And Ilya could never go back, which was Shane’s fault.

    So that bothered him.

    Summary

    "Hayes!" He calls while he knocks loudly on the door. "Ilya!" he adds, just in case.
    Wyatt opens the door a minute later. Shane can't help but chuckle. He's still wearing a costume, one that Shane doesn't recognize, and his shirt is stained with something that stinks of really strong alcohol. His hair is sticking up in all directions and he's squinting. "Hollander, what the hell."
    "I could ask you the same thing," Shane crosses his arms, taking a look inside Wyatt's hotel room. Ilya doesn't seem to be there, and the anxiety starts reaching his heart, turning its beating erratic. Shane's mostly annoyed, if he's being honest, but there's this feeling twirling in his gut. He doesn't like not knowing where Ilya is. "Where the hell is my husband?"
    Hayes blinks.
    "What?"

    Or, after a bad depressive episode and a terrified confession, Ilya made a promise to his husband. He swore he would never, ever leave him. And he'll be damned if he doesn't keep his promise, even if he has to fight strangers, jump off a moving car and cross the whole Nevada desert. He will get back to Shane, even if it's the last thing he does.

    Summary

    Good riddance, he thinks. Or maybe feels obligated to think. He’s not sure. It feels like a natural thing to think about a brother who hit you and insulted you and extorted you for most of your short, miserable time together. He’s thought about it before, Alexei dying. The life he lived had not been conductive to longevity.

    I am the last Rozanov, he thinks, and that is an emotion he can parse, finally: closure. Like setting the last piece down in a puzzle.

    It’s only after the first puff of smoke escapes his lips that Ilya remembers Alexei’s daughter.

    Or:
    Two years after he gets married, Ilya Rozanov receives the news that his older brother has died.

    Summary

    When Shane reluctantly agreed to kick off his MLH career with a photoshoot, he imagined, somewhat vaguely, a hockey uniform and some dramatic lighting on the rink. Shoot a few pucks. Pose intensely. That kind of thing.

    The marketing agency, apparently, had other ideas.

    A plane flight gone wrong, a desperate crash landing, and suddenly hockey’s two brightest young stars find themselves stranded in the heart of the Canadian wilderness. With no way home and no rescue coming, they only have one hope for survival -- each other.

    Summary

    “Is just the new routine, okay?” Ilya pleaded, his voice breaking. “The pills were working and now there is more stress so I just need to get used to it and will be fixed, okay?”

    “How bad is it?”

    “Shane, please.”

    “Ilya, you promised no more secrets, no more hiding. How bad?”

    He covered his face in his palms, his elbows resting on his knees, and took in a shuddered breath. “...bad.”

     

    OR

     

    After Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander get married, Ilya discovers that his depression won't magically disappear just because he finally has love and a real family. He gets to live and work with Shane full time now that they are on the Centaurs, but it's becomingly increasingly difficult to hide his deteriorating mental health from his husband. He's haunted by dreams of his mother and the fear that his depression and the hockey world's eruption about their relationship is ruining Shane's life. He has to swallow his pride and begin taking SSRIs, navigate the side effects of medicating his depression, and learn to accept love and support from those he loves most. Will the shame eat him alive or can he finally learn that he's worthy of love even at his lowest?
