    Summary

    All of Shane Hollander's focus is on keeping his head down and graduating from his sports medicine program. He's perfectly content to focus on his studies, happily neglecting parties or meeting girls. But when he's forced to go a club by his friend Hayden Pike, he meets an alluring stranger named Ilya. After their initial encounter, they begin hooking up in secret as Shane grapples with his sexuality.

    There's something strange about Ilya, though. He won't tell Shane where he works or what he does, threatening people seem to follow him around, and most of all, he's constantly plying Shane with expensive gifts. But it's probably nothing. After all, there's no organized crime in Montreal—right?

    Summary

    She watches Joe touch Shane’s arm, and Shane pausing, leaning in as Joe explains something he’s doing with his skate, pointing down at his foot and using Shane for balance as he demonstrates. Does Joe have a crush on her son? Her proud mother’s heart says How could he not? Her sweet, handsome boy. She hopes Shane would be polite about it.

    Then Joe lets go of Shane’s arm and skates off, and Shane just stands there watching him for a few moments. Her heart does an odd jump. What if Shane liked him back?

    5 times Yuna Hollander thinks Shane might be gay, and the time she finds out he is. (Inspired by the fact that Shane's parents tell him they thought he might be gay after he comes out to them.)

    Summary

    After the first time, Ilya stays the night at Shane's apartment. In the morning there's a knock on the door...Yuna and David are here to take Shane to brunch.
    Ilya never imagined Shane would invite him along...or that Yuna would become his sponsorship agent, or that Jackie Pike would catch them, or that David would clock them...

    An AU with cuteness, fluff, angst, silliness and references to other events in the show and the books. No spoilers though.

    *Chapters 1 to 5 are different POVs on The Brunch Event, then the AU continues from there*

    Summary

    Previously titled: Like Someone in Love

    The whole time, Shane felt like he wouldn’t be too far behind Hayden. Their lives were so intertwined and on such similar paths. But that was five years ago, and here Shane was. Alone on New Years Eve at 9pm in a quiet office reading a trial transcript from a potential referral.

    He wasn’t sure what he had imagined his thirties would look like when he was younger. That was a lie. He did know. The image in his head was, and still is the same. A kiss goodbye in the morning, a small hug after work and while flipping pancakes, a stubbled cheek against his chest at night, small laughs before bed… The image is a blur of quiet moments interlocked with another.

    Shane didn’t know yet, but a last minute decision made in a moment of his deepest loneliness would move him closer to the life he had quietly resigned himself to never having.


    Strangers in the night
    Two lonely people, we were strangers in the night
    Up to the moment when we said our first "Hello"
    Little did we know, love was just a glance away
    A warm embracing dance away
