  1. Summary

    The gist of this is just that I'll post a segment of a book that I have stashed in my notes app to use at some point, with a brief of the idea. If anyone wants to take these ideas and use them for themselves (with credits) please do!

    There will probably be oneshots from I Spy a Liar and any other fics I end up writing included in this so keep an eye out for them!

    Any warnings will be listed at the top of each chapter and I hope you enjoy!

    Summary

    Instead of Shane, it is Ilya who suffers a concussion during the Boston-Montreal game in April 2017. Dazed and agitated, Ilya briefly starts speaking and responding only in Russian and the medics can’t calm him down. Luckily, Shane started studying Russian after Ilya spoke to him in Russian on the phone from Moscow. For no particular reason. Certainly not because he’s fallen in love with Ilya Rozanov.

    In Montreal with lingering concussion symptoms, Ilya is advised not to fly home for a few days, and the hospital won’t release him without assurances that he has someone to stay with him until his symptoms improve. Luckily, Shane conveniently has a condo in Montreal no one knows about and a few days before he has to travel again.

    But Ilya’s symptoms don’t resolve after a few days. Which is okay; Shane can handle it. He can take care of Ilya, study Russian, lead his team into the playoffs, and keep Ilya’s continued presence in Montreal a secret. He can do everything, no problem. He is Shane Hollander after all.

    A whump fanfiction that is secretly a fix-it.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is the number two overall NHL draft pick and a newly minted Montreal Voyageur. He’s also laser focused on his goals: being the best by beating the best. For him, this means a continued rivalry with number one draft pick—and new Ottawa Centaur—Ilya Rozanov. But when a problem with Rozanov’s immigration paperwork threatens his future in the NHL, what does that mean for Shane’s own career? He can’t risk finding out…so they get married. Just for immigration. A fast, practical, mutually beneficial solution.

    No one will ever suspect, let alone find out, that the NHL’s greatest rivals are secretly married. And there’s certainly no risk of feelings getting involved. They have a game plan.

    Summary

    Mike is desperately trying to push down his newfound feelings for his best friend.
    It's not working, and the swimming pool is NOT helping.
    -----
    The ball comes faster than he expects. Mike reaches up, fingers skimming rubber, and immediately loses control of it. It bonks off his hands, rebounds off his shoulder, and in his attempt to recover he stumbles backward—

    Right into Will.

    Will lets out a surprised laugh as Mike lands against his chest, water sloshing up around them. Mike freezes, every nerve in his body lighting up at once. Will’s hands come up automatically, steadying him by the arms, trying to push him upright again.

    “You good?” Will asks, still laughing, breath warm against the back of Mike’s neck.

    Mike’s skin feels like it’s on fire. Will’s chest is solid and warm against his back, their bodies pressed close in a way that is absolutely not helping anything. Mike scrambles for footing, face burning, heart threatening to burst straight out of him.

    “Yeah—yeah,” he says quickly, pushing himself forward and away before his brain completely abandons him.
    -----
    explicit rating is for the second chapter!
