    Summary

    After ignoring his phone in favor of getting split in two by his situationship, Shane is stranded in Boston at the start of the zombie apocalypse.

    Ilya is left with nowhere to go, and Shane refuses to leave him behind. In order to survive, they have to cross the Canadian border and get to the cottage, together.

    But getting to Canada is far easier said than done. When Ilya is badly injured, their road-trip becomes a race against the dead—and the infection spreading through Ilya’s leg.

    Summary

    Being the new kid in 5th grade is tough, but even more so when the other kids are afraid of you. Ilya finds this out first-hand when he starts at a new school after suddenly moving from Russia to Canada. He decides he's fine being a loner, but his mom keeps looking at him with those worried eyes whenever she asks about making friends. So, he decided to give it another shot when he spots another lonely kid on the ice at his afterschool hockey program.

    Childhood friends AU based on this tweet by @mooneyedshane: 10 yr old Ilya who’s got no one in his corner meeting Shane once and just imprinting on him. Awkward 10 yr old Shane who can’t figure out how to talk to kids his own age and Ilya just starts following him around.

    Summary

    "We're setting you up with a billet situation," Fletcher continued. "It's pretty common for first-year players, especially international guys. Gives you a chance to settle in, learn the city, have someone looking out for you."

    "Okay," Ilya said slowly, not entirely sure what a billet was, but not wanting to admit his ignorance.

     He could guess from the context – he’d heard of rookies being assigned to live with older single players, veterans who could show them the ropes. Maybe that was what Fletcher meant. Connors maybe, he was probably a handful of years older than Ilya. Or perhaps Becker. Ilya just hoped it was someone who–

    "You'll be staying with Nikolai Petrov and his family."

    The words hit Ilya like a punch to the gut. For a moment, he forgot how to breathe.

    "Petrov?" he managed, his voice coming out strangled.

    The Bears decide that Ilya should be set up with a billet for his first season. The idea of spending a year living with a man that Ilya is sure hates him is completely terrifying. And yet, it ends up being the best thing to ever happen to him.

    Summary

    SHANE HOLLANDER is a Son of Jupiter who’d rather stay in Canada, play hockey, and preferably, avoid the life of Roman Senates and politicking that would await him in California.

    ILYA ROZANOV's father valued winning as much as Nike did, and continues to place that pressure on his son’s budding hockey career.

     

    While the Great Prophecy comes to pass, Hollander and Rozanov compete for the Stanley Cup.

    Summary

    “Shane,” Rose says gently. “I don’t think Eva is good for you.”

    Shane sighs into his water glass. This again. You get one shoe thrown at you during an argument, and suddenly everyone thinks you’re being abused.

    Or: Shane ends up dating Rose’s co-star rather than her, and soon finds himself in an abusive relationship. Ilya and Shane's friends need to put aside their differences in order to keep him safe.
