    Summary

    Cardiac tamponade: pressure on that heart that prevents it from filling and beating adequately.

    Shane thought he knew two things: his move to Ottawa would cause chaos, and that the Ottawa Centaurs were nice.

    As it turned out, he only knew one of those things.

    (Or: the Cens are still a team of professional hockey players. They're going to fuck up.)

    Summary

    “Dude, this is so dumb,” JJ said, looking over the documents, “but also the best fucking thing we’ve ever done. It looks so real.”

    Hayden grinned proudly, “Yeah? I got a friend who’s a lawyer to write them up.”

    JJ looked up at him impressed. “Prank commitment on point, man”

    Hayden’s grin widened.

    He could already imagine Shane’s face when he saw the official-looking divorce papers from Ilya Rozanov. Shane would open the envelope, read the first few lines, spiral for solid thirty seconds, and then notice the tiny line Hayden had hidden near the top of the page.

    April Fools, bitch.

    or - a really dumb prank + series of unfortunate events = angst with happy ending

    Summary

    Troy’s grin turned sharp and mischievous. “Alright then,” he spoke up. “New bet.”

    “No.” Ilya groaned. “Why is everything always a bet?”

    “Because you hate losing,” Wyatt answered as if it was obvious.

    Troy clapped his hands together. “Okay, so,” he started, his eyes gleaming. “Rozanov has to get Shane Hollander to fall in love with him.”

    Ilya stared at him, his brain’s processing lagging half a second behind. “You think you are jokester, yes? You are joking.”

    Summary

    “You want to talk to people about me?” Shane asked quietly.

    There was something small and confused in the question. But Ilya was still furious and raw.

    “Well I would,” he sneered, “if there was anything about you that was fucking interesting to talk about! It would be nice to not be so fucking bored and miserable!”

    The second the words left his mouth, he watched the pain roll across Shane's features like a thousand fractures shattering through glass.

    Ilya had seen Shane nearly break ribs. He had seen him miss game-winning shots, take hits that left bruises blooming purple and black across his skin. He had never seen this.

    Shane closed his eyes for a long moment. He shook his head slightly, a tiny movement, then nodded once as if agreeing with something only he could hear. His face twisted briefly with a fresh wave of pain before he forced it to still.

    ---------

    What if Shane and Ilya don't make up so easily after the Boxing Day fight? The Centaur's plane never malfunctions, so Shane never proposes. Instead, Ilya gives him an ultimatum on coming out and going public. It backfires spectacularly.

    Summary

    On his thirtieth birthday, Shane Hollander wakes up able to read minds through touch. The problem? According to an urban legend no one thought was real, there's only one way to make it stop—and it involves doing the one thing he swore he'd never do. As the captain of the Montreal Metros navigates this unwanted ability, he's about to discover that sometimes the hardest thing to read is your own heart, especially when a certain charming new player seems determined to crash through all his carefully constructed walls.
