    Summary

    Rozanov cocked his head. “You speak Russian? Or just the curse words?”

    “Yes, I speak Russian,” he snapped, defensive and angry. He knew that it had been a mistake to even try to be friendly with Rozanov. “Why? Do I not look Russian to you?” He scoffed.

    “No, not really,” Rozanov said. Some of his teammates laughed, although they mostly looked surprised that Shane was speaking to them at all. Rozanov didn’t laugh, though. “Are you Russian?”

    “Go fuck yourself.”

    +++

    Despite an inauspicious start, when Russia’s Ilya Rozanov learns that Canada’s Shane Hollander is fluent in Russian at their first World Junior Championships tournament, it changes everything and sets them on a different course. Instead of being branded as rivals from the very beginning, Ilya and Shane start off as friends.

    And, after all, a little friendly rivalry never hurt anyone, did it?

    Summary

    He keeps reminding himself it’s not going to go anywhere, but if it’s a crime to appreciate his ex-girlfriend’s girlfriend’s gorgeous colleague’s face while he’s feeling extremely single before the holidays, then lock him up, your honour, and throw away the key.

    His brain might be telling him it’s all completely casual – he’s just being friendly with the 118 until Lucy announces the engagement’s off (and, hey, maybe he’ll get to keep a few of them in the break-up). But his brain doesn’t matter as far as his heart is concerned; when Eddie Diaz finally walks through the door of Ye Olde Bar just a little after 7, it almost beats out of his chest.
    __

    or, Buck finds himself fighting for his life when his ex-girlfriend-turned-best-friend Taylor asks him to pretend to be her girlfriend Lucy's fiancé while she's in the hospital after a freak bar accident, and the entire 118 show up too. It's all going (mostly) well until he accidentally falls in love with Lucy's colleague, a hot single dad firefighter named Eddie Diaz.
    __

    or, a Buddie retelling of the 1995 rom-com While You Were Sleeping, but Buck is Sandra Bullock, Eddie is Bill Pullman, and the 118 are the coma guy's family.
