    Summary

    On a Thursday, a video of Canadian star hockey player Shane Hollander goes viral on the internet. The video was taken on the previous Sunday, and it’s not what anybody expects. It’s not a sex tape, or a drunken fight in a bar, or any of the other videos that have been captured of others in the league, but instead, it seems to be a sneakily filmed video of Hollander confronting his former teammates.

    Summary

    After the tuna melt meltdown, Shane meets Rose Landry, has several deeply inconvenient revelations, and decides to do the only sensible thing: win Ilya back with sincerity, logistics, and a frankly alarming amount of emotional effort.

    Ilya, meanwhile, mistakes every tender gesture for the kind prelude to an inevitable goodbye.

    Or: Shane is living in a romcom. Ilya is living in a Russian tragedy.

    Summary

    No matter the trope.
    No matter the universe.
    No matter the setup.
    They find each other.

    He rolled over, already thinking about which train he should catch to head home when he came face to face with–

    – a child.

    “AH!” Ilya squeaked, more high-pitched than he would ever admit. Her eyes widened at the undignified noise, but she didn’t say anything, nor did she back away. She was probably… six? Seven? Hell, Ilya was terrible at guessing kids’ ages. She had black hair, pulled up in pigtails, and very pretty brown eyes. She was holding a stuffed cat that looked well-loved in her arms. It seemed to be missing an eye. She gave him a once-over and suddenly Ilya felt like he was being inspected.

    Suddenly remembering that he was only wearing underwear, Ilya pulled the covers up to his chin. “Um. Hello,” he said.

    “Why are you in Dad’s bed?”

    Summary

    She’s happy that she got the artist’s residency, of course- who wouldn’t be? A year of living in one of the most picturesque coastal areas in North America, all-expenses paid, paint and canvasses provided. It’s amazing. It’s a dream come true, and it even comes with a cute little cottage next to a historic lighthouse that Shane’s been dying to paint ever since she saw the application brochure.

    So, yeah, she’s happy about it. But not happy enough to get over the burning pit in her stomach when she finds out she has to share it with Ilya-fucking-Rozanova.

    Or: Shane and Ilya are up-and-coming artists who get awarded a residency. Together. Which would be amazing, if Rozanova and her paintings (and her stupid, beautiful face) didn’t get so far under Shane’s skin.

    (Posting Fridays and Wednesdays until complete.)

    Summary

    “You cannot just say things like that. It is not fair,” he whispers. 

    He moves the saucepan away from the stovetop, Shane clinging to him with every movement as he starts pouring the hot chocolate into the two mugs.

    “How is it not fair?” Shane asks, amusement evident in his voice.

    “Because," he starts, turning in Shane’s arms until they’re face to face. Shane twists his arms up and around him, hands resting steadily against the nape of his neck as Shane stands on his tiptoes; a sunflower reaching towards the light that is Ilya Rozanov. 

    “Because,” he says again, looking down at Shane through pretty eyelashes. “Now I’m going to have to get down on my knees and the hot chocolate I just made is going to get cold.”

     

    or

     

    Shane and Ilya get snowed in on Chrismtas Eve. They get creative in the kitchen.
