    Svetlana knows Ilya, him deciding to come to the NHL, means he wants out of Russia even if it isn’t right away and forces him to apply for a green card.

    Summary

    Shane was exhausted. If he were honest with himself he had been for years. He forced that exhaustion so deeply inside him that it began to settle in his bones. He gave and gave but it was never enough. He wanted to be brave, for himself, for Ilya. Fuck, he wanted more time with him, finally together. His heart ached when they were apart.

    He was brave once, he could be brave again. He could choose himself, choose Ilya.

    or, Shane Hollander is done with everyone's shit and becomes a Boston bear

    Summary

    "Is it true? Hollander is on rut waivers?"
    "Mr Rozanov. Sit down."
    "Make an offer. Offer – offer me."

    When Shane is cast out of the Metros due to a mystery hormone issue affecting his game, Ilya makes an offer to save his career: become a Boston Raider, and Ilya Rozanov's mate.

    It would be easier if they hadn't already been sleeping together for years.

    Summary

    Shane doesn’t know why he chose to move to Boston to join the Raiders after his hellish stint playing for the Metros. He had a long laundry list of reasons why Boston was the right fit for him: they were a legacy team, it was only a short plane ride away from his parents, it was a good city, a good hockey-loving city, where he could settle down and start to build his life. The list goes on. He thinks his mom even believed some of them.
    He couldn’t deny, though, not to himself, at least, that Boston’s star center had a little bit to do with that decision.

    Shane transfers to Boston early in his career after he finds himself at the center of a scandal with the Metros. Boston gives him a chance to start over, to build the professional hockey career he always dreamed of, but the transfer doesn’t come without its fair share of problems, especially since Boston is home to his on-ice rival, Ilya Rozanov.
    The two become unlikely friends when Shane agrees to help him practice his English, bonding as they start to share bits of their respective cultures.
    There are some things about Rozanov, however, that Shane doesn’t quite understand.

    Summary

    Shane's new career in the NHL was going surprisingly well, with just one little problem. He had started to hear voices. Actually, it was just one voice in particular. Every so often, he swears he can hear a man speak clearly to him in a heavy Russian accent. Everywhere he turns, though, the source of the voice cannot be found. It feels like there was something missing in his life, and he didn't know how to find it.

    Across the world in Russia, Ilya Rozanov has spent the last 3 years of his life dreaming of freckles and brown eyes. He couldn't put a name to the face. Couldn't even see any more details besides the eyes and the freckles. Discovering who those freckles belong to is the one thing that is keeping Ilya alive at the moment.

    In this timeline, multiple things happen that prevent Shane and Ilya meeting in the way they were supposed to. Good thing Shane and Ilya fall in love in every universe.
