Summary
After a devastating breakup with Shane Hollander, Ilya Rozanov expects his off-season to be numb and lonely. Instead, he meets Dr. Alix Hatley, a Russian historian. Misunderstandings, many martinis, and even more feelings follow.
(Note: This fic is not Ilya/Shane endgame. I loved both characters equally in "Heated Rivalry" (book and show) but unfortunately did not like how Shane was portrayed in "The Long Game." On the other hand, Ilya just became more and more endearing throughout each of the books, so I thought I'd write a new love interest. Very excited for "Unrivaled" to come out in 2027 and hopefully will fall back in love with Shane then!)

Summary
When Pansy Parkinson finds herself with a baby on the way, a marriage contract torn to pieces, and abandoned by the lover that never truly loved her, she has no idea what to do. She's now the shame of her family and the favorite topic of conversation among the Pureblood gossips.
The last thing she expected was a letter from Neville Longbottom offering to marry her and raise the child as his own.
Leaving the excitement of London and Pureblood society behind for the quiet simplicity of a Yorkshire farm and quirky wizarding village is quite the culture shock. But it isn't just the change in scenery that surprises Pansy. Somehow the bullied boy she remembers from Hogwarts has grown into a handsome, confident man.
Could this become more than just a marriage of convenience? Can Pansy's broken heart be mended? Could Neville really be happy with a witch like her?
With a little magic anything is possible.

Summary
Draco’s body went slack and he fell to his knees before the tapestry. His entire body felt like it would combust, starting with his heart. Countless thoughts ran through his head; he felt like he was going to be sick again.
According to the tapestry, he had a daughter. A daughter born in 2003. No, no that couldn’t be possible. He hadn’t slept with anyone, he wasn’t seeing anyone. God forbid his obsession with Granger let him live a normal life with other women—
Granger.

There were many reasons Draco Malfoy couldn't confess his feelings to Hermione Granger. For one, they were both Aurors at the DMLE, partners to be exact. Second, he didn't believe he was good enough for her. So he did what every sane man does, spends one drunken night with her before transferring out of Wizarding London.
When he returns after five years, the Black Family Tapestry has magically sprouted a new descendant of the Black Family.

Summary
If there’s one thing Hermione Granger is good at, it’s using magic to fix her problems. And this time, her problem is sex.
Luckily, she has the perfect solution: a locket enchanted with the Patented Daydream Charm. Whenever she opens it, she’ll find herself in Dreamland, where she can live out all her filthiest fantasies risk-free.
The magic is a bit tricky, though. For some reason, Malfoy keeps showing up there with her. Thank goodness it’s only an illusion—if that was really him, she would never live it down.
Meanwhile, Draco is determined to figure out who the fuck is cursing him to suffer through highly realistic, erotic hallucinations of his secret childhood crush. When he finds the culprit, there will be hell to pay.

Summary
Ilya has been used to it for years, living in constant comparison with Shane. Ilya is frequently praised for his aggressive play style, tearing out onto the ice like a rabid animal and winning through brute force. He’s a loose cannon out on the rink, that’s why Boston loves him so much. Shane’s image in the media is much different. He doesn’t fight, he doesn’t speak badly about other teams, he’s calm and calculated. Ilya is not.
Ilya Rozanov is famous for his 'don't give a fuck' attitude. You don't win Stanley Cups if you don't give a fuck.
5 times people get to see another side of Ilya, and 1 time they get to see another side of Shane too.

Summary
Cliff Marleau has known about Ilya Rozanov’s relationship since Ilya was twenty-two.
It’s not like it was complicated to put the pieces together, is the thing. When it all comes out in public, the Raiders have various different meltdowns – Twitter explodes in a way that is sort of unprecedented, and breaks out of the hockey specific Twitter spaces the same way that the Scott Hunter thing did. There’s shitty headlines and queer space headlines, and it’s a whole thing. And Cliff is pretty sure he’s the person least surprised about it.
But here’s the thing. Cliff Marleau has known Ilya Rozanov since the kid was eighteen.
OR:
Marly's not as oblivious as everyone thinks. Throughout his time knowing Ilya Rozanov, he picks up on some things nobody else seems to be seeing. He keeps his mouth shut about it.- Language:
