    Summary

    Shane Hollander believes systems can be changed.

    Ilya Rozanov believes they must be controlled.

    Until one day, they are forced into a political marriage, which is supposed to serve as an image for unity.

    It doesn’t.

    As the government tightens its grip and dissent is pushed into the shadows, alliances form where they shouldn’t, loyalties fracture, and the line between survival and complicity begins to blur.

    Somewhere beyond the reach of the state, a quiet resistance is growing.

    And before long, both Shane and Ilya will be forced to decide what they are willing to lose to change the country they live in.

     

    Tags will be updated as new chapters come along. And in this AU, Ilya will speak perfect English as there's no other "nations" in this fic.

     

    Update 5/18: Added Rose's backstory to chapter 7

    Summary

    Shane Hollander, an up and coming young actor has just landed his first big movie. He's heard and seen his whole life that you have to fit in, not stand out. He's slowly coming to realize that maybe his sexuality isn't what he thinks it should be, but is trying hard to be 'normal'. When he meets a man who turns his whole life upside down, will he be able to confront his feelings or will he push him away and lose his chance at happiness.

    Summary

    “Shane, have you been with anyone in the past six weeks?” The doctor asks.
    “Yea” Shane says automatically. He is surprised he responded so fast. Recognition starts to stew in his belly. He is starting to understand. He feels as if he might understand. “What did you find, doc?” He is more insistent now.

    “You are five weeks pregnant, Shane.”

    Summary

    In a world where omegas have few rights and unmated alphas in professional hockey are required by league regulations to be paired with a state cleared omega by age 26, Ilya Rozanov, a Russian alpha with a fiery temper and a disciplinary record, is handed a stack of twelve files and told to pick his omega. To everyone's surprise, he picks the one nobody else would touch: Shane Hollander, twenty-three, a former Montreal Metros defenseman who lied his way through two years of pro hockey on suppressants and forged paperwork before he was outed during an uncontrolled heat. Three years in a state center have left him hollowed out, terrified, and rated a 5 on a temperament scale. Shane has spent those three years bracing for the worst.

    Summary

    At 35, Ilya's life could not be going worse frankly. His best friend is asking for a divorce, he has a boring job and his boring co worker pities him enough to invite him to spend a few weeks with him and his family on their annual vacation to their summer cottage. And he's so pathetically lonely he accepts.

    At 22, Shane has his whole life ahead of him. He's the captain of his university's hockey team, he's suspected to be the first draft pick in the MLH and he's able to maintain a 4.0 GPA on top of all that. His lack of a social life doesn't really bother him, he'll have time to date once he's achieved his life long dream. He's sure a girl will come along eventually.

    OR Ilya is Shane's dad's hot co worker who ends up at the cottage one summer.
