    Summary

    “I do not want to make you uncomfortable. With how I talk about us. To others. Like . . . reporters. Or how I treat you in front of others, like the guys on the team.”

    Something like understanding settled on Shane’s face now, and it immediately made Ilya’s heart stop racing. “You think I don’t like PDA.”

    “First time I held your hand in public I thought you were going to have a panic attack,” Ilya admitted.

    --

    Or: Shane's first season on the Ottawa Centaurs, as told through five times Ilya initiated PDA (and one time Shane did).

    Summary

    “No, he's not,” Marley said, elbowing Ilya good-naturedly. Ilya narrowed his eyes at him, utterly baffled at the confused looks thrown his way.

    “He is,” Ilya insisted. “The first time I met him, he would not shut the fuck up about his parents’ koi fishies!”

    He was met with several stares of disbelief.

    Or:

    Five times Ilya Rozanov finds himself a captive audience to a chatty Shane Hollander, and one time Shane tries (and fails) to stay quiet around Ilya.

    Summary

    Nobody moves for a moment as Shane stares the woman down, and he’s seconds away from sawing the damn thing off himself, when the woman nods to the men surrounding the hybrid. And then there’s a flurry of movement, a clicking sound and then the men stand back to reveal Ilya in his bare faced glory, unobstructed by the muzzle.

    Shane takes him in, inhaling softly at the sharp cheekbones, the moles dusted over his face, the pillowy lips that are set in a firm, displeased line. Shane wonders how big his fangs are. If he was a fighter, they must have been sharpened regularly.

    Shane doesn’t want to think about the damage this wall of a hybrid had inflicted on others, the damage he could inflict on Shane. The hybrid stares at him, expression hard to determine but the intensity of it has Shane holding back a shiver. He’s staring at Shane like he can see every thought inside of him, calculating. As if they were on opposing sides of a ring, ready for the bell to chime and for Ilya to go in for the kill.

    Shane gets roped into fostering a troublesome hybrid with a bad track record. Except what begins as a cordial arrangement turns into something much more complicated.

    Summary

    Level 1 bonds, at their core, are practical things. They are incredibly clinical, especially in the MLH. Injected with grade A suppressants to keep the bond controlled, exchanging scents as briefly as was manageable, a quick barely-there shallow bite to the gland on the omega's neck, paperwork filed with the league office after a full day of observations, and suddenly an omega is considered 'safe' to play professional hockey. The omega, now bonded, is considered less likely to 'disrupt team dynamics,' whatever that means.

    Shane had been nineteen when Montreal assigned him to Gilbert Comeau.

    OR: omegas are only allowed to play professional hockey if they enter into a contracted bond with an alpha on their team. Shane's alpha in Montreal is more than lackluster, but what can he expect? Though, maybe a little forewarning would have been nice, because Comeau suddenly wants him gone, and Shane soon finds himself being traded to what could be the worst possible outcome: Boston.

    Summary

    “Hello,” someone said from behind a small, rickety desk. “Could you maybe not splash water all over our forms?”

    The guy was dressed—fittingly—in red scrubs and they were shockingly flattering on him too. He had black hair, a slightly dorky haircut, and very big brown eyes. Freckles were scattered across his nose and cheeks, his lips full and a little pouty. He was, well, pretty. There was no other word for it and pretty wasn’t a word that usually came to mind when Ilya was faced with a guy.

    “It's raining.” Ilya gestured vaguely towards the door he just came through.

    “Yes, okay, but please don’t shake it everywhere.”

    Ilya raised his eyebrows at him. “Do you want my blood or not?”

    Or: A uni AU where Shane is Ilya's bi awakening with a side of "who did this to you?"
