    “You are?" He had paused to find the word. “A beautician? Yes?”
    “Um. Yes. I’m a dog groomer. Well - animal groomer.”
    “Groomer. I don’t like this word. My Anya is not horse. She is my daughter who should look beautiful. So, you will be her beautician. Make her beautiful.”

    Summary

    Two years after their divorce, Shane and Ilya have learned how to move around each other carefully through custody schedules, Friday dinners, and the quiet understanding that loving each other was never the thing that broke them apart.

    But somewhere between a color-coded Tokyo itinerary, sleepy children curled against their shoulders, and the unbearable familiarity of still being a family together, Shane begins to realize something terrifying:

    maybe they are just two slow dancers, still somehow moving toward each other after all this time.

    Summary

    But against all odds, Ilya gets a cup for his new team before Shane’s retirement, their rivalry now more intense before his rival falls off the face of the earth. Then, one Stanley cup – after three decades of not bringing home any banners, Ilya Rozanov finally helps win them a Cup–

    The TV shuts off, effect disconcerting as two familiar silhouettes sit on a couch, a curly mop of hair and a neatly combed back wolfcut. A tiny, bald head comes into view when Ilya turns, encasing a baby in his arms, so cute and pudgy and under no dispute is definitely a Hollander-Rozanov.

    “...What?” he asks with a grin, a mildly annoyed expression on Shane’s face.

    Shane reaches out to close hands over the baby’s ears, “You watch your back, Rozanov,” he mumbles threateningly, “The moment I return on ice, your winning streak is over,”

    ; Ilya gets Shane pregnant. A happy accident if anything.

    Summary

    “I don’t remember his name. Blond. Russian. Kind of intense.” Shane tries to keep his brain from lingering on memories of Ilya’s hands in his hair.

    Rose has her mouth open when he looks over at her. “You literally talked to the team captain and you didn’t even know? Shane, that was Ilya Rozanov.”

    Shane feels like he can’t breathe for a second at the sound of his name.

    “That sounds right. Yeah.”

    After a few seconds, Rose holds out her phone. It’s a picture of Ilya she has pulled up from Google. He’s in a hockey uniform but his helmet is off, curly hair glistening with sweat. “This is who you talked to, right?”

    Shane nods. He hopes that it isn't obvious on his face that he did much more than talking with the man. 

    AU Where Shane Hollander is a rising actor and meets hockey star Ilya Rozanov at a club while celebrating an award show win. Between filming a movie where Shane is playing a gay man and having a casual relationship with Ilya, Shane deals with defining his sexuality and trying not to ruin their casual relationship with his feelings for Ilya.

    Summary

    Charlie looked shyly around the circle of other patients waiting for the therapist. He felt his jaw slacken as his eyes focused on the startled face of the man seated directly across from him.

    A man he recognised.

    Nick Nelson.

    At least, he was pretty sure that was Nick Nelson staring back at him. He looked a little worse for wear, but Charlie supposed he wouldn’t be here if that wasn’t the case.

     

    or

    Adult Nick and Charlie meet in inpatient. A story about hope, and the beauty that lies just on the other side of pain.
