  2. Summary

    Baby doll keeps me up at night
    I fell in love with your soft brown eyes
    I toss and turn most every night
    Insomnia is hard enough to fight

    One more sip for a tortured soul
    Your digging my heart in deeper hole
    And a thousand thoughts going through my mind
    Cigarettes keep it occupied

    Summary

    Hollander as an opponent has always been focused and precise and an absolute nightmare for a defenseman, the kind of player you dread facing.

    Hollander as a teammate is…well, he’s still focused and precise, and intense about every drill and lift and film session to the point of being more than a little intimidating.

    Hollander on five-and-a-half beers and just as many chalupas is something else entirely.

    OR,

    The Centaurs get to know Shane Hollander.

    Summary

    “To be loved,” his mother said, the palm of her hand caressing his cheek, “is to be known.”

    And to be known, Ilya thought bitterly as they lowered her body into the earth just a week later, is to be hurt.

    Or, the mortifying ordeal of letting yourself be known and loved, told through Ilya’s POV, in flashes over the years.

    Summary

    Five times the Centaurs show up for Pride Night on the road, imperfect and unscripted. Plus one time they do it at home, deliberately and out loud.

    Takes place after The Long Game, once Shane has joined the Centaurs.

    Featuring: rainbow tape, merch tables, fashion mistakes, friendship bracelets, and Pride as something you do, not something you announce.

    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

    “You know you don’t have to do this,” Harris said as they walked from the car to the arena, Chiron prancing along in front of them.

    “I’m doing it,” Troy said.

    “Okay. But you don’t have to.”

    “Harris. I’ll survive reading whatever weird, dirty tweets you found,” Troy argued. “You think I’ve never seen thirst tweets?”

     

    In which the Centaurs read thirst tweets and it goes about how you'd expect.
