    Summary

    They got to the bed before Hollander got weird again-
    "What?" Ilya asked. "You are pregnant and is mine?"
    "What?" Hollander shot back, his eyebrows lifting. He let out a single laugh, and shook his head. "No. Shut up. I'm trying to - What? No. I just. Wanted to, uh, ask something."
    "Okay?" Ilya looked around as if he might find the reason Hollander was not just asking already, written on the door or something. "So ask? You want new position?"
    For a moment Hollander didn't respond, was staring at the crumpled bedspread between them, his jaw working slightly, an easy tell Ilya didn't think Hollander knew about, that he was chewing on the inside of his lips. Sometimes when they kissed Hollander's mouth was tangy with blood.
    "I wanted to," Hollander said, slow and even, "ask. If this was our last time hooking up, what would you want to do?"

    A fic in which both Shane and Ilya consider themselves the dogs that are about to be put down, and act accordingly.

    Summary

    In an AU where Shane joins the Montreal Metros the same year he's drafted, Ilya stays in Russia and Shane is pretty pissed off about it. He's released to go to the 2010 World Junior Championships in Helsinki, Finland because he wants his rematch, damn it, and because he wants to try to convince his rival to get to the MLH as soon as possible and make things interesting.

    When Shane discovers Ilya may not have stayed in Russia of his own free will, he puts together a crack team of idiot teenagers international hockey players to achieve one goal: get Ilya Rozanov to Boston.

    Summary

    "He likes hockey, which I knew was a necessity for you. He works out a lot — I won't say much about his body but I will say… I am certain you will appreciate. His sense of humor seems to match yours pretty well, I think."

    Everything feels super vague, per the process, but it's nothing Shane can find anything to complain about. "Mm, and does my future husband have a name?" he jokes.

    "Yep," Rose says. "His name is Ilya."

    Shane chokes on the sip of beer he'd been taking. He can't help it. There are quite literally millions of names in the world, and his potential blind date has the same name as his irritating coworker? There's no way.

    - or, Rose Landry has a knack for matchmaking. She has a proven process and every single one of her friends that she’s set up on a date is still happily coupled off. Her next victim is her college best friend Shane Hollander, who Rose claims she finally found the perfect match for.

    It's a shame that it ends up being the guy Shane can't stand.
