Summary
"Every surface, light pole, and body packed into the street blocks was an explosion of color.
And everyone was so happy. So full of joy.
Pride, Shane realized. He’d never really understood why it was called that before."
~~~
When you've lived your entire adult life in the closet, you miss out on one of the best parts of being queer - the LGBTQIA+ community. At 30 years old, Shane has still not gotten a chance to experience Pride until now!
Or The Ottawa Centaurs are invited to walk in the Ottawa Pride Parade in August after Shane and Ilya get back from their honeymoon. Shane has to navigate being a newly minted queer icon, learn to love in the spotlight, and finally feels accepted in a community he didn't realize that he was missing.

Summary
The prologue picks up mid-book 6, but rather than Brad posting the video to Twitter he sends it directly to the Montreal Metros. In this universe, Shane and Ilya are not outed to the world, but Shane is still kicked off the Metros team and transfers to Ottawa.
This fic follows Shane and Ilyas first year as teammates, settling into their lives together after getting secretly married over the summer. In this timeline, Shane learns to heal from the wounds of being outed to his team, Shane and Ilya get to ease into being a full-time couple before being thrust into the spotlight, and they get to navigate coming out on their own terms.
After a decade of the world being too hard on them, I just really wanted my favorite husbands to find a soft place to land. While the road is still long and difficult, this AU is all about putting them back in control of how they want the world to see them. It also gives so many more hilarious opportunities to watch other characters react to them coming out.

Summary
Five hockey players, one blizzard, and a shared wardrobe full of Russian labels that Shane is desperate to keep hidden. It turns out that forced proximity is a lot harder when your boyfriend is Ilya Rozanov and he’s being an ass just to keep the act up—and because the bed is little too cold and little too big for Shane to sleep alone.
(There was a comment saying I should mention that you have to click on things, which is fair. So guys, click on everything — it’ll end up being something.
chapter 8 is CSS I used to format this fic.)

Summary
“You are planning to rob me or what?” He hears Rozanov call, and he can’t help but smile slightly even as he rolls his eyes, closing the door to the linen closet and feeling strangely lighter than when he opened it, reassured that he’s just trying to read into a blank page, that today doesn’t mean anything more than Rozanov doesn’t mind him being around, which is strangely flattering.
“I don’t know,” he calls back. “Don’t Russians like diamonds and fur and stuff? Where should I start looking if I want to know what my options are?”
He hears Rozanov laugh, and it makes him smile.
When he joins him in the living room once more, Rozanov tugs him down to lean against him again. Shane goes easier this time, settling into it, knowing it doesn’t mean anything other than the fact that he just happens to be the closest warm body, the person on Rozanov’s roster who filled today’s slot.
(the tuna meltdown doesn't happen) (this does not mean they get ANY better at communication)
(or: how shane didn't realize he had a boyfriend for several months)
