  1. Summary

    In a world of magical gifts, Joshua cannot use his magic freely in Korea under the eye of a conservative culture. Being caught doing so? It invites disaster… When the worst happens, Joshua faces a frighteningly quiet new world. In the midst of Seventeen's debut, Joshua must adapt quickly – but he’s not alone and can count on some treasured friends on this new journey.

     

    With each passing moment Joshua can feel the easing in Seokmin’s energy, the illness slowly relenting. The sharp fraying feeling that had reached up Seokmin’s throat gentles under Joshua’s will. A smile breaks across Joshua's face, his hands pulsing with the gentle warmth of the healing magic. Seokmin won’t be up tomorrow, or the next day – but. But he might be up the day –

    “What - are you doing.”

    Summary

    Rozanov's lips curl ever upwards once again. He takes Shane's gloved hand in his own and leans forwards into their handshake, gentling tugging Shane closer so that he could lower his head down near Shane's ear. "See you at the draft."
    Dozens of cameras flash from the stands the moment they touched. Rozanov had just given the press exactly what they wanted, clamoring over the boards, greedy to push the narrative. Their rivalry wasn't ever about their talent, not really. It was about their biology.

    Shane Hollander is the first omega drafted into the MLH. This poses multiple problems for him. The biggest being Ilya Rozanov.

    A.K.A. a canon divergent rewrite of the novel to make it more like the show and also omegaverse

    Summary

    It's been three years since Shane was kidnapped in Montreal before Sochi, and he had discovered the completely healthy coping mechanism of not thinking about it.

    He had other, more pressing issues: a third Stanley Cup run, a secret marriage, a murderous fan base, and free agency on the horizon.

    The whole kidnapping thing was easy to ignore now. He could almost believe it was just a story that happened to someone else.

    Or: Shane and Ilya are just trying to move past it all, and the past says no.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is eighteen, second overall draft pick, and quietly, a father. He's learned to carry both versions of himself with practiced ease.

    Then there's Ilya Rozanov: first overall, unbothered, and already taking up more space in Shane's head than he has any right to.

    Their rivalry is the story everyone wants to tell. Shane is starting to suspect the real one is something else entirely.

    Summary

    "I don't mean to come here and freak you out," Scott said, though he knew there was no avoiding it. He'd been where they were before. It had felt like he was dying, back then. "I just don't want you to think you're the only ones, okay? There's lots of us."

    Their eyes snapped to him in unison, startled and intense. Hollander croaked, "What?"

    "There's over sixteen hundred guys in the MLH and AHL," he reminded them, because it had felt improbable to him when he first heard until he remembered the sheer size of the hockey world. "There's — well, we don't know how many of us there are, but there's at least seventeen of us that know each other. Plus you two. We watch out for each other."

    His eyes enormous, Hollander asked, "There's, what? A secret underground gay hockey network?"

    Scott shrugged. "Yeah, basically."

    ----

    Ilya and Shane find their way into The Tennis Club, a network of closeted hockey players that hook up - so long as everyone keeps it casual. Which is no problem! They can do casual, right?

    Summary

    “This might have been a bad idea.”
    “You think so?”
    “Hollander’s pissed.” Marlow said, stating the obvious.
    “No he’s not.” Ilya answered easily. “He’s just nervous.”
    “About what?”

    “About asking if he can watch you fuck me.”

     

    -OR-

    Ilya and Marlow have been hooking up for years - though it was never personal (until it was too late).
