Summary
Lachlan Pucey joins the Montreal Metros as a rookie with all eyes on him. After a year spent in the AHL, developing and preparing for his NHL debut, he's not going to let anything distract him from playing the best hockey he can and proving to everyone watching that he's just as good of a player as his old man was and his big brother is.
Hank Crawford is a second round draft pick that comes into the league after two years playing the college circuit. He's got no one's expectations to live up to save for his own, but there's a lot riding on him making a name for himself in Montreal. It's the best day of his life when Shane Hollander calls to invite him to training camp in September, bar none.
Lachlan and Crawford are fast friends. Hard not to be when they have so much in common, when it's so easy to kill an afternoon hanging out and playing video games beside each other on the couch. When it starts to feel like the only deep breaths they're able to take are the ones they take when they're side by side, on the ice or at home or out in the city.
They're fast friends. Good friends. Best friends. That's all they can be; hockey is everything else.

Summary
All eyes are on Montreal and Ottawa now that Shane Hollander is a Centaur. It's going to be a big year for the Cens, assuming they can get past their first game against the Voyageurs... and their second... and their third? Maybe it won't be as simple as playing one game and proving everybody wrong.

Summary
Do you want to have a nifty way to have multiple languages in a fic:
- Without making your readers scroll to the AN for a translation?
- Without the text and translation sitting side by side?
- And still make it look pretty when people download it into an EPUB or PDF format?
- Making it work with screenreaders? (Subject to varying screenreader capabilities)
Here is a solution for you. Come on babygirls, let's roll.
(This is a HTML tutorial but I'm lowkey flirting with you by calling you babygirl occasionally because I got bored while writing this.)
NEW UPDATE [20/3/2026]:
- Chapter 1: Sample Usage (Excerpt from a WIP in my drafts)
- A short character study about Griffin Harley from Babel (by R.F. Kuang). Utilizies 3 languages in multiple formats. You don't need to have read Babel to pick apart the code used.
- Chapter 2: Basic Tutorial (same as before)
- Chapter 3: FAQ (regarding customization and usage)

Summary
They're having breakfast when he tells them. He only remembers because he'd dreamed weird again last night. This time it was an older boy, who was trying to stop a little golden-haired baby from crying.
“What,” says Mom, in that flat voice she gets when she's trying not to sound surprised.
“...what?” says Dad, who clearly hadn't been listening. That's fine, Shane forgets to listen too, sometimes.
“I keep dreaming people I don't know,” Shane repeats patiently. He can be patient.
Shane Hollander habitually ends up in other people's dreams, which is fine. It's a family trait, on both sides, to slip into the dreams of the people you love. What's less fine is how Shane keeps dreaming strangers.
Or: like if a soulmates au took several detours.

Summary
“Man, when did you learn Russian?” Pike asked.
“Did you do that for Viktor?” J.J. said. “You’re too good, Capitaine.”
*****
Montreal's newest rookie doesn't speak much English. Luckily, Shane has learned enough Russian from Ilya to help. This is the story of their unlikely friendship, told from the rookie's point of view. -
Tags
Summary
Ilya's had worse injuries than a skate cut on his ribs. He's had worse pain than this. He's had worse weeks. He hasn't told Shane any of this, which is its own problem — but then Shane sees the red lines spreading up Ilya's side, and the problem becomes something else entirely.

SHANE: Because we played them last night and now Ilya is convinced their second line wingers are fucking.Sequel to Gotta catch ‘em all that probably can be read as a standalone and definitely doesn't need to exist.

Summary
Hayden wanted to apologize but wasn’t even sure what to apologize for. “If you’re so embarrassed about your choice of boyfriend, maybe get a better one?”
It wasn’t any worse than anything Hayden had said before. In fact, it was probably fairly tame as far as insults went, but it didn’t matter. Hayden could see the moment something inside of Shane detonated. One minute Shane was standing only a handful of feet away, his suit jacket clutched in his hands, and the next the jacket was dropped to the floor in a heap, and Shane’s hands were fisted in Hayden’s shirt, his back slamming against the wall.
Holy fuck, he thought. Shane is going to fucking hit me.
-
or, Hayden makes one too many shitty comments about Rozanov and Shane finally snaps. And while he never actually lands a blow on his best friend, the defeated way he talks about ending their friendship has Hayden rattled. After the Centaurs plane makes an emergency landing, Hayden knows he needs to do everything in his power to make it up to his best friend, with Jackie's help of course.

the secret society of stick handlers by gurlsrool
Fandom Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid, Game Changers | Heated Rivalry - All Media Types, Heated Rivalry (TV)
23 Apr 2026
Summary
The queer NHL players (begrudgingly) unite via group chats in the face of social media scandals.
These stories take place on a (slightly loose) chronological timeline and make the most sense when read in order. However, they're all independent stories/scandals and can be read as standalones.
All stories take place post TLG and include spoilers for the books.

Summary
“We don't have to do this. You don't. . . " Shane tried to say. Ilya held a finger to his lips.
“We should talk about these things, no? You shouldn't be afraid to ask me questions that you want to know the answers to,”
“Question six,” Ilya said, voice gravelly and accent thicker than usual, “If you were able to live to the age of 90 and retain either the mind or the body of a 30 year old for the last 60 years of your life, which would you want?”

Summary
Shane leans down and bites Ilya’s chest over his heart. Shane has slashed him open, body and soul, head to toe. No noxious steam wafts out from where Shane’s teeth had been. Shane is seeing through to his skin and bones, is physically inside of him, and is not recoiling. Instead, he’s whimpering and shoving his face, sticky with sweat, into Ilya’s neck.
