    Summary

    David Hollander doesn't walk in on them at the cottage. Instead Ilya gets a phone call that his brother has died and his niece is an orphan in need of his care. Ilya and Shane have to make a new plan to make space in their lives for a toddler.

    Shane’s shoulders are shaking like he wants to be pacing or screaming or both but he’s holding himself in place on willpower alone, “You can’t risk being deported, not with a kid, not for any reason. And maybe it’ll be good for you, I mean you’ll need help, right? And she’ll help you? And if they ever suspected, I mean a wife, that’s good, right? Everyone thinks you’re straight anyways –”
    “Stop.” Ilya doesn’t mean to sound so loud, so angry, but he’s been through too much in the last twenty minutes to modulate, especially in English, “We talked about this. We had a plan. I would not marry Svetlana.” Because I want to marry you, says the little secret voice inside of him that’s only recently gotten permission to be loud in his head.
    Shane huffs, adorably annoyed, “Ilya, marry Svetlana. For your niece. You might not be in love with her, but you do love her, don’t you?”
    “I –” Ilya swallows thickly, “I do, but –”

    Summary

    Shane gasped and stumbled backwards. “Three weeks? You decided-” his hands flew to his mouth. “How could you do this without talking to me? This is what? To punish me because I won’t come out on your timeline?”

    Ilya felt a stab of anger. “You won’t come out on any timeline!”

    Shane blinked at him. “I literally drove here tonight because I wanted to know if you would accept six to twelve months!” 

    “A timeline,” he barked. “This is our lives, Shane. I want to be with you fully now. I know you are scared, but you need to be brave, and I am so deeply fucking unhappy being your dirty little secret.”

    “That’s not fair Ilya, it’s going to be complicated for me. I’m already the only Asian captain in the league! The media, sponsors, the Voyageurs? It’s going to need to be carefully managed-”

    Or: After the Boxing Day fight, Ilya loses faith in the idea that Shane will come out quickly and decides to make a wild move and agrees on a trade to Vancouver. Can these two idiots in love find their way back to each other?

    Summary

    Shane Hollander has spent his entire life trying not to be noticed. In a city where magic runs the streets and monsters run the rest, that’s kept him alive.

    When his guardian is murdered — alongside a vampire that shouldn’t have been there — Shane is pulled into an investigation that doesn’t add up. The deeper he digs, the worse it gets: missing evidence, fractured politics, and something powerful enough to tear through both the living and the undead.

    Then the words begin to answer him.

    Ancient. Primal. The language of power itself — one that predates the First Shift, one that shouldn’t be spoken at all. And yet, it recognizes him.

    As Shane draws closer to the truth, he also draws attention — especially from the Beast Lord of Boston. Ilya Rozanov doesn’t break rules lightly. But for Shane, he might.

    Shane has spent years staying out of sight. Now the city is watching, the magic is listening, and whatever he is becoming may be just as dangerous as the thing he’s hunting.

    -- or--

    The Heated Rivalry / Kate Daniels Crossover literally no one asked for.

    Summary

    Shane and Ilya have done everything right, with years of waiting, planning, and hoping. After too many almosts and not-quites, they go to one more adoption event with no expectations.

    But one quiet conversation—and one perfect baby—turn “maybe” into something a lot more dangerous: hope.

    And hope, it turns out, has a way of asking for more than they expected.

    (AKA: hurt/comfort, so much yearning, accidental family, angst with a payoff, and yes—a hard-won happy ending)
