    Summary

    “You’re impossible.”

    “Yet here you are.”

    A skiing accident sidelines DU hockey’s golden freshman center.

    A Russian phenom arrives to replace him.

    And a very poorly made housing assignment.

    A stupid tree may have cost Shane Hollander his first collegiate season, but Ilya Rosanov has cost him the rest of his peace.

    It would be easier if they stayed enemies.
    It would be easier if they didn’t have to go home to the same place every night.

    Between rehab sessions, early practices, and an apartment that’s way too small for this much ego, Shane and Ilya discover that rivalry is easy—it’s everything else that’s complicated.

    Or… enemies to friends (kind of) to lovers (ew, Ilya, no, that’s gross), with hockey, bad decisions, and feelings no one asked for.

    Summary

    Following the internet success of Shane and Ilya's presentation at the NHL Awards, ESPN decided to contract with them to do a whole series. It goes far better than anyone could have dreamed.

    -or-

    “When you think about it,” Jackie said, when Shane had dinner with her and Hayden a few days later, “hockey’s basically already reality tv.”

    Summary

    The first time they’d done this, in Ilya’s bed, Shane had been mystified at Rozanov’s insistence that he not enter the nest without Shane’s permission. Now, Shane feels something akin to smugness flexing its claws in his chest. A primal satisfaction at the rightness that he is the one with the power - at present, if not for much longer - alpha just outside the nest and at his mercy.

    Like Shane will only yield for someone who has earned it. He can draw out Ilya’s suffering just a little longer, make him earn it.

    Shane rakes his gaze over the delicious chest and bicep muscles bunching above the edge of the nest. “Waiting for something, Rozanov?”

    “Are you going to let me into your nest, omega?” His pronunciation of the endearment is more Russian than English, accent thickening around the syllables.

    “Depends. You gonna give me your knot?”

    “Hm, does not sound like begging yet to me.”

    Some months after Shane recovers from rejection sickness in Ilya's bed, they share their heat/rut together at the cottage, both clinging to the delusion it's still casual.

    Summary

    "Luca hated the thought that Shane and Ilya would think his devotion to working hard for them was just because of a silly crush he had on the hockey equivalent of the ‘cutest boys in school’. It went so much deeper than that. When his idol worship turned into something tangible, it mutated. He was becoming the best possible version of himself on the ice, which made him feel like maybe he was worth something off the ice too. He had Shane and Ilya to thank for that. And he couldn’t seem to find the limit of how far he would go to show his gratitude."

    OR

    Luca Haas learns how to want what he wants because Shane and Ilya are there to help. Shane and Ilya get a fresh start at first love.
