  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

    Over the years he thought maybe, just maybe, being knotted by an alpha semi regularly might change something, like his biology would one day answer Ilya’s despite their ups and downs. He even helped Rozanov through a rut one time, and at the time he thought surely his inner omega would finally respond to his pheromones and the teeth shaped bruises on his nape that almost resembled mating bites and give him a heat.
    But nothing.
    Heats are the last thing on his mind right now though. Ilya is spending two weeks with him at his cottage, alone. Completely and utterly alone. Together.

    __________________________

    Omega Shane has never had a heat. Over the years, he has given up on expecting to have one, but when he spends two weeks with alpha Ilya in the comfort of his cottage, something unexpected happens: he is thrown head first into his very first heat. Luckily, Ilya is there to help.

    Summary

    “What is there to talk about?”

    “What’s there to talk about?!” Hollander scoffed, shaking his head. “You’re playing for my fucking team!”

    “I know.”

    “Why did you have to go and get traded?! You realise we’re going to have to see each other every day from now on, and play together, and-”

    “Yes,” Ilya interrupted. He didn’t want to know how long Hollander’s list was. “I know.”

    Hollander took a deep breath. “Okay, listen,” he said. “Just so we’re clear - we don’t know each other outside of playing against each other, right?”

    “Right.”

    “And we can’t- can’t hook up anymore.”

    ~

    OR: Ilya gets traded to Montreal in October 2014. He's lonely, and angry, and he misses Boston. He doesn't know if it helps that Hollander is there or not.

    title from Buckle by Florence and the Machine

    Summary

    Kip likes Hunter’s teammates more than he expected to, which is to say not all that much.

    Some of them are good—some of them are great—some of them are terrible, and a lot of them just have no idea how to talk to a queer person.

    Summary

    Finding your soulmate is supposed to be beautiful. You stand in front of someone and you say their full name; they say yours. Your soulmarks appear somewhere on your bodies, and it's supposed to be beautiful. Life-changing.

    It's not supposed to happen a week before the World Juniors tournament in a dirty Saskatchewan parking lot. It's not supposed to be Canada's newest darling hockey player and your future rival who whispers your name. It's not supposed to be a boy that your skin blooms for.

    And if that does happen, despite the fact that it shouldn't, you're definitely not supposed to lie to your soulmate's face, refuse to say his name in return, and pretend that you never felt your soulmark appear at all. And if that happens, somehow, you're definitely not supposed to kiss him less than a year later. And then later. And then later. And then later, until you realize you never want to leave his bed despite the fact that you've never told him the truth about the bear tattoo on your chest.

    or, finding out that his soulmate is Shane Hollander isn't beautiful. Ilya can't pretend that it's not life-changing though.
