    Summary

    Shane Hollander has a perfectly organized life: classes, good grades, routines, and zero distractions.

    Until Ilya Rozanov shows up.

    He sits next to Shane in every class as if it’s the only seat available, steals his food without asking, and texts him in the middle of the night like they’ve been best friends their entire lives.

    Worst of all, he acts like they’re already sharing a life together.

    Shane hates him.

    Or at least, that’s what he keeps telling himself.

    Summary

    Somehow, he still ends up in Ilya's bed.

    Summary

    AU: Movie Star - Ilya, PA - Shane

    Ilya Rozanov built his entire life around temporary things. Temporary cities. Temporary relationships. Temporary people. It was easier that way.

    Shane Hollander already learned the hard way what it feels like to lose the thing your life was built around. After hockey fell apart, he stopped letting himself need too much from anyone or anywhere.

    Working together was never supposed to become personal. But somewhere between film sets, late-night drives, hotel rooms and quiet routines, actor and assistant slowly become something far more dangerous to each other: constant.

    And the closer they get, the harder it becomes to pretend they still know how to walk away.

    Summary

    “English is… is not first language,” the woman said quietly. Her accent was thick, and unmistakably Russian.

    “Oh, sorry! I’m speaking too fast, aren’t I? Sorry,” she took a breath, and held out her hand. “I’m Yuna,” she repeated. The woman took her hand quickly, her hands bony and delicate.

    “Irina,” she replied, before gesturing for Yuna to sit with her. Quickly, Yuna did. “Sorry, I have not been in Canada long.”

    “No problem at all; welcome to Canada! Is that your boy?” Yuna asked, gesturing over to the child that had similar hair to Irina, which was poking out from under his helmet. He was taller than Shane, though his little hockey outfit still seemed to still dwarf him. He had a serious look on his face, but his eyes were light as he watched the other boys play. He was tapping his stick on the ice, clearly itching to get into the game.

    “Ah, yes,” Irina nodded, taking a few seconds to translate the question, “Ilyusha.” Irina looked over at her son, a small smile on her face. “Is my Ilya.”

    Or: Ilya and Irina move to Canada for a fresh start when he is six years old. He meets Shane Hollander at ice hockey practice, and they grow up together (and of course, fall in love).

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is an architecture student working at the campus café. Ilya Rozanov is captain of McGill's Hockey team. The first time Ilya sees Shane he becomes obsessed with those damn freckles, and flirts with him, confident it will all go his way. When it doesn't, he enlists Hayden (Shane's co-worker) in his scheme to make Shane notice and like him. However, Shane's aversion to all things hockey is going to make things difficult - once upon a time, Shane had been obsessed with hockey, but something had happened in high school, something that not even his best friend and roommate Harris knows about.

    But Ilya Rozanov is nothing if not persistent.
