The Coffee Never Gets Cold by spicypotatobae

Summary
The coffee used to get cold. Before, when he would find every reason to linger around the kitchen counter, trading lazy kisses tasting of burnt coffee and mint toothpaste, stealing bites of breakfast sandwiches that didn’t fit with his diet during hockey season. He couldn’t help himself then. He lacked discipline and focus. But that was another lifetime. That was before. Shane was different now. He had to be.
**********
Four years after the cottage, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov quietly ended their relationship.
Two years after their split, the shape of their lives is drastically different. Ilya is in New York married to Svetlana. Shane stayed behind in Montreal and is single. They keep their distance, only spending time in the summer when required as co-founders of The Irina Foundation.
In 2023, Shane meets someone else. Someone perfect on paper, who offers to give Shane everything he’s ever wanted. Well, almost everything he’s ever wanted.
Shane will face the ultimate decision. And he’ll have to ask himself one question: Is this enough?

Between the Calls by NotMyProudestTroupe

Summary
Ilya Rozanov, a professional dom, lives in the space between. Between shifts, between countries, between versions of himself. Control is what keeps things from falling apart. Control, and distance.
Shane Hollander lives the life that might have been his. He spends his NLH career closing distance, closing gaps, moving toward things instead of away from them.
When a chance meeting at the animal shelter crosses their paths, something unexpected carries between them, like a call, waiting to be answered.
*This work is a remix/ heavily inspired by Wolfbird (OpalApparition), including people and locations. In my mind, a “what could have happened if they met in a different way and made different choices.” It’s sweet, has (mostly/eventual) soft landings, and features many puppies who absolutely did not ask to be a part of this, and one very dramatic chiweenie who did.
Thank you to OpalApparition for the encouragement to write what I love.

Summary
Shane Hollander works at a coffee shop, plays hockey, keeps his head down, and doesn’t ask questions he doesn’t need the answers to.
So when a new regular starts showing up—quiet, watchful, Russian-accented, and conducting invitation-only meetings in the back—Shane notices. When that same man takes an unsettling interest in Shane’s closing shifts, his routines, and his safety, Shane does what feels sensible: he adjusts his behavior and keeps his mouth shut.
Ilya Rozanov orders an Americano. He reads, but only in Russian. He worries when people work late alone.
They are operating with very different definitions of danger.
If he didn’t ask questions, he couldn’t be lied to.
The rules were simple.
1. Do not ask questions you don’t need the answer to.
2. Do not share personal information freely.
3. Do not be alone with Ilya Rozanov.
4. Do not give him a reason to think you’re afraid.Series
