Summary
Harris, who was sitting next to Shane, nudged him with his foot. “Yeah, I mean, it’s not kinky kinky unless Shane went out and bought, like, a full-on sex swing or something crazy like–”
Harris stopped talking because Shane had frozen. Completely frozen. His glass halted halfway to his lips. His eyes went wide and fixed on a point on the far wall. The blush that had been a soft pink bloomed into a scarlet tide that crept from his neckline to the roots of his hair.
Ilya, watching him, threw his head back and burst out laughing.

Summary
Ilya Rozanov's life takes an unexpected turn when a deadly plane crash in 2021 takes his life, right after a fight with his long-time partner, Shane Hollander. Though instead of the afterlife, Ilya is sent back to December 2008, just before his NHL career began, on the very day that he first met Shane. He finds himself in a familiar world, with knowledge of both the future and knowledge of the man he loves and the friends he holds dear.
As Ilya navigates this new reality, he rebuilds his relationship with Shane, who is still finding his path in both hockey and his identity as a gay man. With their rivalry blossoming into a different experience than the one Ilya experienced the first time around, the two face challenges around acceptance, family pressures, and the struggles of being openly gay and lovers in the sports world. Throughout their journey, Ilya contemplates his first life, cherishes the present, and strives to alter the course of their futures (and the futures of their friends) for the better.
Or, Ilya Rozanov discovers first hand what the butterfly effect is, and how it can drastically alter the future.

Summary
“I am out for the season?”
“Probably."
“Are you by any chance looking for a trophy husband?”
“Ilya.”
“Yes? No?”
“It’s one season, Ilya, we’re not—it’s bad because you’re hurting, not because—I’m not letting this fuck anything up for us, okay? We’ll figure something out,” Shane says, resolutely.
or, you know what they say about the best laid plans
ilya’s first year in ottawa looks a little different than originally planned, maybe sort of because he ends up spending it recovering a broken leg in his boyfriend’s apartment, but probably mostly because he meets jackie pike

Summary
Four months after their wedding, Shane Hollander and Hayden Pike are kidnapped by disillusioned fans who see Shane's coming out and departure from the Voyageurs as the ultimate betrayal. With the police off-limits and a ten million dollar ransom on the clock, Ilya makes the last phone call he ever expected to make — to the estranged brother in Moscow he hasn't spoken to in three years. What follows is a night of unlikely alliances, hockey sticks used as weapons, and the discovery that family isn't defined by blood but by who shows up when everything falls apart.

Summary
"I am flirting with you," Ilya said. "I have been flirting with you for literal months. Intentionally."
Shane stared at him.
"I like you," he said. "Romantically. I have for a long time - "
"Wait," Shane interrupted. "You were being serious?"
Ilya has a plan. It involves flirting, proximity, dates-that-aren’t-dates, strategic jealousy, and an unreasonable amount of patience.
Shane does not notice any of it.
Or: Five times Shane completely misses the signs of seduction, and the one-time Ilya stops being subtle.

Summary
To be clear, Ilya is grateful the rookies aren’t growing up the way he did in the NHL. Ilya took the hazing to the chin – humiliation rituals, beat downs, grueling practices to prove he could “hang” with the big guns on the team.
That being said, there’s still some part of Ilya that balks at the request by the gaggle of rookies to watch The Iron Giant, a veritable children’s movie at the team’s latest movie night.
OR: Five times Shane and Ilya were the support system for the Centaur rookies they dreamed of having when they were younger.

Summary
Ilya’s hand wraps around his bare wrist and squeezes. Shane barely stops himself from collapsing to his knees.
The pressure lights up every receptor of his touch-starved nervous system, wrenching a small, pained noise from the back of his throat. Every muted sensation comes flooding back so intensely that it almost hurts. He needs Ilya to hold him down until there’s nothing inside him but quiet. He wants to sink into him and disappear.
It takes Shane an entire beat to remember where they are. Fighting against the fog in his mind, he manages to drag his gaze up to meet Ilya’s.
There’s a slow-dawning horror and understanding on Ilya’s face.

Summary
Then she says, with all the subtlety of a brick: “There is the issue of children.”
And oh, here we go.
Alex sits down without being asked. “I am doing my very best to put a baby in your grandson. Truly. But the issue remains, he doesn’t have a uterus.”
“INSOLENCE.”
“He also doesn’t ovulate,” Alex adds cheerfully. “Real shame.”
Queen Mary turns an actual color. It’s sort of violet. The color of wrath and sugar plums.Series

Summary
When his birthday postcard arrives, Alex doesn't expect it to come with a letter from a stranger. And when he writes back, he certainly doesn't expect a reply.
But one letter turns to two, and then into dozens more. What begins as a mistake turns into something neither of them could have predicted. Something worth waiting for.
“I think I’ve been falling for you since you were just ink on paper.”
Or: the modern letter-writing AU.

Summary
Something was wrong. Now that Harrington was marginally calmer, the reek of fear and panic had faded, but a rising, acidic note of pain had taken its place. It tugged at something deep in Billy’s gut, made his skin crawl with the instinctive urge to bundle Harrington up and hide him somewhere safe, where no one could find them, where they could—
Billy nearly swerved off the goddamn road. “Are — holy shit, Harrington, are you in heat?”

Summary
“Henry’s been taken.”
It takes a moment for the words to register.
Takes two, actually.
Because at first—they don’t quite hit as a real statement. The words are there but his mind jumbles them around and centers on Henry and then slowly, the following words come into play. They ebb in like a wave settling on shore.
His hands fall to his sides.
“What,” he says, swallowing, “Do you mean taken?”
