    Summary

    There was something wrong with Shane Hollander.

    He had known it since he was young.

    Most people-most kids, in general-had different hobbies and interests. Their attention drifted from one thing to another. They became fascinated with something for a few weeks, only to abandon it for the next shiny obsession that caught their eye.

    Shane had never been like that.

    When it came to him, there was only ever one thing: hockey.

    Obsessive.

    That was the word most people used when referring to his temperament.

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov, a professional dom, lives in the space between. Between shifts, between countries, between versions of himself. Control is what keeps things from falling apart. Control, and distance.

    Shane Hollander lives the life that might have been his. He spends his NLH career closing distance, closing gaps, moving toward things instead of away from them.

    When a chance meeting at the animal shelter crosses their paths, something unexpected carries between them, like a call, waiting to be answered.

     

    *This work is a remix/ heavily inspired by Wolfbird (OpalApparition), including people and locations. In my mind, a “what could have happened if they met in a different way and made different choices.” It’s sweet, has (mostly/eventual) soft landings, and features many puppies who absolutely did not ask to be a part of this, and one very dramatic chiweenie who did. 

    Thank you to OpalApparition for the encouragement to write what I love.

    Summary

    “He’s such a jock,” Cassie says with a chuckle. She puts her glass of dark liquor on the bar so she can fold her arms. When she sees Ilya looking at Bood, she laughs and shakes her head. “Oh no, I’m talking about your man. That guy is hockey if it was a person. And thank god for that, I’ve seen those Reebok ads.”

    Summary

    Ilya closes his eyes.
    He blinks back his tears. He wants to nod or shake his head or something, but he can't.
    This can't be happening.
    He blinks and blinks and blinks again but he's still in the hospital and he still feels like shit and his mom is dead and Shane is far away and he thinks he's depressed and there is something inside of him that he doesn't know what to do with.
    Fuck, he thinks, in russian and in english and in french, even. Fuck.

    Or, in 2020, Ilya has a (very) unplanned, (very) complicated pregnancy, Shane has to learn that sometimes things don't work out the way he planned, and some other things. Set in The Long Game, kind of.

    !!!

    [Ilya doesn't even try to stop the couple of tears that fall down his face. "I love you too. So much."

    "Bye, baby. Behave for mom."

    Shane loves him.

    Ilya wonders if that is going to change once he learns what is going on.

    Shane is there and he's worried and Ilya is pregnant with his baby and maybe he's dying, he no longer knows, and he has no idea what to say.

    So he just bursts out crying and lets himself be held, and he feels guilty about it, but he can't help but fear it will be the last time Shane will hold him like this, without resenting him and his secrets. Without resenting his body and the decision he's made.]
