Summary
ilya feels it when shane slams a gloved palm onto the ice to stabilize himself, echoing an earthquake through ilya’s skates and up to his sternum. his heart clenches with every heaving breath shane takes, bloodstained petals pouring past his lips. he’s hurting, and the need to hold him burns through ilya’s veins.
ilya was supposed to protect him, but he didn’t even see the hit, only the aftermath, just marly skating slowly away with terror on his face as the ice gets painted red.
or: it's april 2017, and cliff marleau just checked shane hollander into the boards. he doesn't break his collarbone, but he does start coughing up petals. a post-tuna melt hanahaki au.

Summary
Alex smiles at him, brushing a finger across Henry’s cheekbone. His other hand slides over Henry’s stomach, fingers dancing out an absentminded pattern. “So you're okay?”
“I'm alright. Just a dreadful day.”
“Do you want to talk about it?”
Henry shakes his head. “No, really. It’s nothing worth rehashing.”
“Okay.” Alex’s hand settles over Henry’s stomach. “Is there anything I can do to make you feel better, then?”
It’s an innocent question, but Henry’s blood heats unexpectedly. He has a sudden, vivid image of Alex on top of him and between his thighs, his lips tracing a line down Henry’s jaw. He can almost hear Alex's raspy voice in his ear, groaning obscenities and sweet nothings as he pushes into Henry's body.

Summary
“I can’t tell you anything.”
”Oh, come on!” She whined and Shane couldn’t help but laugh. “When have you ever been able to talk to a friend about the hot guy you’re seeing?”
”We’re not see—“
”Or not seeing.” He could practically hear her eyes rolling. “Semantics. Answer the question.”
”Never. Obviously.”
Summary:
Ilya is finally at the cottage. He’s beautiful in the mornings. He scratches his tummy when he’s sleepy. Shane is so enamored and he needs someone to know. So what if that text message Shane received from Rose wasn’t the only one?Moments at the cottage you missed, the text messages Shane sends about a mystery guy to the only other person who knows he’s gay, and the one text he sends to the wrong person by accident.

Summary
“Goodnight, lyubimyy. Sleep tight, I won’t let the little bugs bite.” Ilya pinches Shane’s waist as if his fingers were the ‘little bugs,’ but soothes over the teasing nips with soft touches moments later.
Shane smiles sleepily at the alpha’s words. He drifts off to sleep knowing Ilya will stay true to his promise. He’ll stay with him while he rests and he’ll take care of him when the next wave of heat inevitably strikes.
He’s very good at that. The whole ‘taking care of Shane’ thing.
[Or: Ilya helps Shane through his heat like planned. Not like planned, they end up confessing their feelings.]

Summary
The first time they’d done this, in Ilya’s bed, Shane had been mystified at Rozanov’s insistence that he not enter the nest without Shane’s permission. Now, Shane feels something akin to smugness flexing its claws in his chest. A primal satisfaction at the rightness that he is the one with the power - at present, if not for much longer - alpha just outside the nest and at his mercy.
Like Shane will only yield for someone who has earned it. He can draw out Ilya’s suffering just a little longer, make him earn it.
Shane rakes his gaze over the delicious chest and bicep muscles bunching above the edge of the nest. “Waiting for something, Rozanov?”
“Are you going to let me into your nest, omega?” His pronunciation of the endearment is more Russian than English, accent thickening around the syllables.
“Depends. You gonna give me your knot?”
“Hm, does not sound like begging yet to me.”
Some months after Shane recovers from rejection sickness in Ilya's bed, they share their heat/rut together at the cottage, both clinging to the delusion it's still casual.

Summary
The story is the one you know. Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov are the two best hockey players in the league. On the ice, they’re fierce rivals. Off the ice, they share a bed, share secrets, share their hearts.
But in a world where soulmates exist, where at a young age you form a mental connection with the one who was made for you, what happens when the lines between what’s in your head and what’s in front of you begin to blur? When Ilya is desperate for the man that he talks to every day who is both blunt and shy? When Shane is searching for the man whose voice matches the low, accented one in his head?
What happens when you fall in love with the same man twice, and you don’t even realize it?
AKA the Hollanov “you share a telepathic connection with your soulmate” AU of my dreams

Summary
The first sound Ilya hears is a thin, discordant symphony of beeps and whirs. Something vibrating.
The next thing he hears is…wet. A sort of shaking, gargling sound, that feels like the ugliest crying he’s ever heard. And through it, Shane’s voice.
“I’m with him now, mom. He’s— he’s not fine. He’s not. I know—”
Ilya wants to ask who's not fine, but he can’t feel his own body, his mouth, enough to ask.
“Yeah,” Shane is saying, only slightly calmer. “I know. He wasn’t breathing—"
Ilya knows there's a link, between the clinical musicality of medical settings, Shane’s audible, awful distress, and his own physical incapacity. It’s just, it’s so tenuous, and the air around him is so thick, so heavy. It would be easy, to sleep, a little.
-
Footage of the last game between Ottawa and Montreal is everywhere; it’s breached containment from the sports world, and now it seems like everyone is baying for Montreal’s blood. Except, Ilya is oblivious. Not exactly blissfully so, but as the fight for accountability within the league rages on without him, Ilya just wants someone, anyone, to tell him what happened.- Language:

Summary
Objectively, he knows that there’s nothing left to worry about.
Everything he ever dreaded has already come true. Caught by his father with a man’s hand on his ass. Outed publicly. Chased off his team and out of his city. Dick graffiti sprayed all over every billboard of his face. The hiss of cocksucker at the face-off. His C gone.
It should make it easier to know that they already survived the worst that could happen. That it’s not easier seems like another failure.
or, one person’s nightmare is another’s fairytale.

Summary
[It’s hard not to think about how this will be the last time Shane darts through his doorway with his hood pulled up and a baseball cap pulled low like he’s in some low budget spy thriller. Or the last time Shane will kick off his shoes without looking away from Ilya and kick them into Ilya’s shins instead.
The last time Shane will do that thing he does where he skips his fingertips over things like doorknobs and plumbing fixtures and light switches, things Ilya would never give a second glance to if Shane weren’t lingering and commenting on their quality and design and fuck. Ilya has a stack of fantasies about Shane in this space that he still wants to make good on.
He should spend extra time rolling out his quads and hips today, too. He’s going to need the stamina.]
OR,
It’s the last time Montreal and Boston will face off in the 2018 season, the last time Shane will come to this home, the last time Ilya Rozanov will play against Montreal and Shane Hollander as a Boston Bear. Not that anyone else knows about those last parts.
Ilya better make sure he’s ready.

Summary
Ilya walks in and waves generously to the audience as he joins Shane at the podium. He seems much more composed than Shane, greeting him with a smile and a hand on Shane’s mid back. It falls into place easily. Warmth travels between them.
The flashing cameras flood the room for a moment.
Shane shoots Janie an unhappy look. To which she shrugs her shoulders, communicating something along the lines of, ‘above my pay grade’, and retreats to the corner of the room.
It is not standard procedure to haul both team captains to the media at the same time, but go figure. The league never misses an opportunity to profit off the spectacle that is their relationship.

Summary
The moment the hotel room’s door had shut behind him, Shane had been pressed against it.
“I have an idea for tonight,” Ilya had murmured, nipping at his ear until Shane trembled. His fingers pinned Shane’s wrist to the door, up next to his head.

Summary
The first time that Shane falls out of bed, he wakes up just before his body hits the floor.
While he's not injured, the fall does knock the air out of him, and he lays there face down, pressed into the rug as he gasps for breath, trying to process what the fuck just happened.
He hasn't fallen out of bed since… well, since ever. He'd always been a relatively sound sleeper, often waking up in the same position he'd fallen asleep in, something that has continued all the way through childhood and into his adult life.
So the fact that he's laying on the floor for the first time now, at 26, makes no sense. Everything is the same as it always has been… except for one thing. Tonight, someone is in his bed. That's definitely new.
or: Ilya really can't help that he sleeps like a starfish when he's comfortable. Shane is a solution-oriented person who just really wants a good night's sleep next to his boyfriend (boyfriend???), and who'll do whatever he has to in order to get it.

Summary
Ilya had thought it was dumb, when Galina suggested it. A code word for when his mental health was bad—he and Shane didn’t even have a code word for sex, and Ilya was regularly tying Shane to the bed and slapping his ass until it was as red as a tomato.
“Is there a reason you’re calling me?” Shane asks now, voice echoey over the phone. “Or is this part of your strategy to win our argument?”
Ilya swallows hard. “Constantinople,” he says.
--
Or: Ilya goes through a rough patch.

Summary
“Sleep.” Henry huffed. “I just bloody want to sleep. I’d give my left eye to not be so goddamned exhausted—.”
“I’ve an idea,” Pez interrupted. Henry nodded for him to go on; he was desperate enough to try even the craziest of Pez’s schemes. “You may or may not be aware of all Oxford campus services, but—.”
“I’m going to regret this,” Henry huffed.
*
Henry's insomnia takes a turn towards the horrendous. Pez decides his royal friend should consider some creative solutions. Enter Alex Claremont-Diaz, exchange student from Georgetown University, peer relaxation counselor, and the most beautiful person Henry has ever seen. The rest is inevitable, isn't it?

Summary
Alex Claremont-Diaz is sixteen years old, and he hasn’t presented. His dad seems to think it’s fine and offers Alex regular reassurance that his cousin Angel hadn’t presented until nearly 20. His mom, though, gets a little crease between her eyebrows whenever she thinks Alex isn’t looking. Presenting is a Big Deal in the Claremont family, and Alex just... hasn’t.
So Alex is sixteen, and he’s… a boy. That’s it. Just a boy. Not a boy and an alpha like his friend Marco, or a boy and an omega like his friend Noah. Just a boy.

Summary
“Grace! Why you no say plants are on Hail Mary, question?!”
The question puts me on my back foot. Literally. I jog up to the door after my morning run to find Rocky waiting for me on my side of the house, suited up and ticked off. I rock back on my heel.
“Huh?”
“What you mean ‘huh’, is simple question! Why no mention plants on Hail Mary when almost die of no vitamins?!”
“No bud, I heard you the first time,” I scoff, shaking my head ruefully. He gets under my feet, tapping at my thighs with his claws to annoy me while I toe off my running shoes.
“Hey, quit— quit it! You’ve gotta be confused, the only plant matter on the Hail Mary was the food in my meals, and that’s years gone.”
——-
Aka, Grace gets a bittersweet surprise several years after he settles into his life on Erid.

Summary
My pride stings a little at being so underestimated by a species that couldn’t even outrun a particularly determined turtle if their life depended on it. Look, I’m no Sha’Carri Richardson, but I’m pretty proud of my seven-minute mile. I worked hard for it. I haven’t been able to handle myself like this since I was... well, since I left Earth.
“Y’know what? Let’s settle this once and for all. I could use an endurance test anyway. Good for my cardio.”
Dr. Bones perks up. “You’ll do a demonstration?”
“Absolutely. Give me two rest days and a warmup, then I’ll show you what the average human athlete can do.”
-----
AKA, Grace doesn't consider himself much of an athlete, but he's no slouch either. And he's got the physical prowess of his whole species to represent!
The xenobiology team, on the other hand, is horrified to learn what a 'persistence hunter' is.

Summary
I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.
Right up until Rocky asks another question.
“When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”
Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”
Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.
“Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”
I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.
“When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”
I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.
“Grace. When last time, question.”
I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.
“Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”
I can taste grass.

AKA: Grace starves for more than just food on the journey to Erid.

Summary
He catches a glimpse of himself in the small mirror across the room.
It’s as if he’s been frozen in time. Nothing about him has changed since he last touched the surface of his home planet.
But of course, that’s not true. Everything has changed.
He doesn’t understand. He doesn’t know what this means. He’s a man of science. There are rules, immutable laws of the universe, no matter where in the universe one is. Entropy, decay, deterioration. Everything in the universe experiences it.
Everything except him, it seems.
Or: While on Erid, Ryland Grace makes a startling realization: he seems to have stopped aging.
