    Summary

    "No." The answer came out before he could stop it. "No, that's reward. I don't deserve it."

    Mike blinked.

    "A reward?"

    Ivan nodded frantically.

    "Yes. That's not—" He struggled for the words. "I do not deserve that."

    Summary

    Jo glances down at the caller and is shocked to see Nate’s name. He and Nate haven’t spoken in years aside from the occasional text. They definitely hadn’t spoken on the phone in a long time, not since their first year apart, Nate blowing up the NHL and Jo stuck back in Halifax.

    “Hello?” Jo says tentatively.

    “Hey,” Nate says easily. “It’s Nate.”

    “Hi,” Jo replies. They both fall into awkward silence.

    “How are you doing?” Nate finally asks. “Summer going ok?”

    “It’s fine,” Jo says. “Long offseason, you know how it goes. How - uh, how are you?”

    “Really good,” Nate says, and Jo can hear the smile on his face. “Actually, I’m in Ibiza right now with some of the guys. Chilling on the beach, sleeping in, super relaxing.”

    Summary

    Sidney's name mark begins to gain color his final year in the Q, but it's not until after the draft lottery that it really darkens up. He takes his wrist guard off that evening, and it's gone from a faint shadow to a dark bruise – like someone's dipped a pen in water.

     

    ----

    Soulmates, and the choices made to get there.

    Summary

    “You will not be so nice when we beat you,” Ilya told Shane Hollander, holding onto his hand, not letting him pull away. Not yet.

    But Hollander’s brow furrowed, not in anger but in confusion. “Ah, um, sorry,” Hollander said. “Merci. My English is bad. Worse… than you. Maybe slower?” And he leaned in, like that would help him understand.

    Ilya’s eyebrows rose, and his smile widened.

    Or, Ilya Rozanov grew up in Russia. Shane Hollander was raised in France. When they first meet, neither of them can speak English very well. Somehow, it’s easier to understand each other when words aren’t getting in the way.

    (Stand-alone remix of “I’m Reading Your Lips (You’re Speaking My Language)” but this time neither of them are native English speakers, and learning a new language is sort of like falling in love, if you think about it.)

    Summary

    Oscar had never really put all that much thought into his status as a beta.

    As a beta, his secondary sex didn't put anywhere near as much of an effect on his every day life in the way that being an alpha or omega would. He didn't experience heats or ruts, and well… his ability to scent was baseline. His own scent was mild and even, much less prone to souring. In turn, he wasn't as affected by the scents of others either. It meant he had a pretty easy time on the track, all things considered.

    *

    Or the fic where Oscar shifts from beta to omega and has to deal with the fallout.
