    Summary

    Harry Styles is the campus matchmaker. A psychology major, star swimmer, and a social butterfly, he’s set up countless couples—and he’s never once failed.

    Despite his beliefs that he would finally find the one in college, Louis has never dated before. But after seeing his best friend find their match through none other than Harry Styles, Louis gets an idea. Who better to find him a boyfriend than the campus matchmaker himself?

    But as one terrible date turns into another, Louis starts to wonder why Harry’s perfect track record seems to suddenly be slipping. And why, no matter how badly the night goes, Louis always finds himself looking forward to the part where he gets to tell Harry all about it.

    or; Louis asks Harry to find him a boyfriend, only to realize that the perfect match might have been right in front of him all along.

    Summary

    “Happy Valentine’s Day,” Harris says, holding out a card.

    “Feels wrong to be taking a gift from another man,” Ilya quips, but takes it anyway. “What is this? ILY-a lot.” He stares at the card for a long time, jaw set and brows drawing together, before shaking his head. “I don’t get it.”

    “Read it again, but slower.”

    ILY-a. Lot.” Ilya pauses, tilting his head and rereading it like the answer might appear if he tries hard enough. “I still don’t get it.”

    Harris opens his mouth to explain—a bit annoyed at the idea of having to walk Ilya through the joke—when Shane steps in from the ice, breathless and a bit sweaty, clearly not paying attention as he fiddles with his gear.

    “Hollander,” Ilya says immediately. “What does ILY mean?”

    Shane blinks. “I love you?”

    “Yes, I know you love me. But what does it mean?”

    or; it’s February 14, and the Ottawa Centaurs’ question of the day comes in the form of custom-made Valentine’s cards for the players (some good, some not so much).

    Summary

    Wisdom teeth surgery: 0/10, would not recommend.

    Confessing your feelings to your secret boyfriend while high on anesthesia in front of a nurse: -10/10, please make it stop.

    Shane’s parents are in Belize, he’s got an emergency dental surgery, and Ilya drives two hours from Ottawa without hesitation. What follows is 24 hours of post-op care, an alarming amount of feelings said out loud, and the mortifying realization that yes, he really did call Ilya a “hot lion.”

    At least the nurse was cool about the whole secret boyfriend thing.

    Summary

    Since Shane’s Calvin Klein campaign dropped, it somehow escaped the hockey bubble entirely and spilled into the general public. There are countless TikToks now—not even from hockey fans, just regular people—posting about his husband in tight white briefs that leave very little to the imagination. Every sports show seems obligated to mention Shane Hollander’s Calvin Klein campaign. It’s inescapable in a way neither of them had expected.

    At first, Ilya thought it was fun. He was glad the world finally saw his husband as the sexy, talented man he’d always known him to be. He liked interacting with fan posts and edits, even sending them to Shane just to watch the way his face would immediately redden.

    But now, the public reaction is a little… much.

    or; Shane’s Calvin Klein campaign goes viral, not only in the hockey sphere, but all over the internet. Ilya tries (and fails) to not show his jealousy.

    Summary

    The internet has decided that Ilya Rozanov is absolutely, definitely, 100% banging a Hollander.

    They’ve got photo evidence. Multiple sightings. Instagram stories from the same café. The man stayed OVERNIGHT at the Hollander residence.

    It’s the most legendary power move in NHL history: seduce your rival’s hot mom to assert dominance. There’s just one tiny problem with this theory. Ilya’s fucking a Hollander, all right. Just … not that one.

    Or in which Ilya’s boyfriend's mother keeps adopting him, the internet keeps assuming the worst, and Shane Hollander is having the worst month of his entire life. At least until he does something that breaks hockey forever.
