    Summary

    Zhenya is warned before he takes the job.

    Prince Crosby is demanding, Prince Crosby is picky, Prince Crosby is controlling.

    “Everything you do will need to be approved by him,” Sergei tells him. “You’re going to get mad and then we’ll have a diplomatic crisis.”

    Zhenya doesn’t know what the big deal is. He’s decorating the palace for before their annual Christmas party, not forming laws or arguing policies.

    “I’m sure I’ll be fine,” he tells Sergei. “I was hired by the King and Queen, not the Prince. Why would I even see him?”

    Sergei hums into the phone. “I’ll keep you in my thoughts,” he says and hangs up, leaving Zhenya completely bewildered at Halifax International.

    Summary

    It was funny, how in this moment,
    his doomed fate eternally sealed,
    Will doesn’t think he’s ever felt closer
    to God.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is the number two overall NHL draft pick and a newly minted Montreal Voyageur. He’s also laser focused on his goals: being the best by beating the best. For him, this means a continued rivalry with number one draft pick—and new Ottawa Centaur—Ilya Rozanov. But when a problem with Rozanov’s immigration paperwork threatens his future in the NHL, what does that mean for Shane’s own career? He can’t risk finding out…so they get married. Just for immigration. A fast, practical, mutually beneficial solution.

    No one will ever suspect, let alone find out, that the NHL’s greatest rivals are secretly married. And there’s certainly no risk of feelings getting involved. They have a game plan.

    Summary

    Jayce steps closer then, kissing the top of Viktor's head. His hair has gotten long enough that he'll ask for a haircut again soon.
    “I can show him,” Jayce says, carefully handing over the baby on his chest. “She's changed and fed, so she shouldn't be any trouble for you.”
    Viktor tucks Mena carefully into the sling he's taken to wearing across his chest, kissing her soft head. Jayce sits on the soft grass next to Viktor's rock, rolling up his pant legs. It's haphazard, the brace on his left leg keeping him from rolling to his knee as he'd like, but it'll do.

    Summary

    "The best way I can summarize the basics is this: the rune you used is like a bridge. It connected the two of you in every way, but there has to be a point A and a point B for a bridge, correct?” Heimerdinger points at Jayce, “He’s point A.” And I’m point B?

    --or--

    Jayce and Viktor's sacrifice creates an arcane bond between them.
