    Summary

    Shane Hollander has spent his whole life translating himself for a world that moves too fast and cares too little about the right things. Ilya Rozanov has never needed anyone to wait for him. Spring training gave them five weeks, a back field no one was watching, and a private language neither of them named.

    It wasn’t supposed to mean anything. A pitcher and a catcher from rival organizations, learning each other’s signals. Convenient. Temporary. Easy to leave behind.

    It wasn’t easy to leave behind.

    Now they’re both in the Majors – Boston and New York, red and pinstripes, opposite sides of the oldest war in baseball – facing each other eighteen times a season in front of a country that has opinions about this rivalry. Every at-bat is a negotiation between what they know about each other and what they’re not allowed to want. The chemistry that made them brilliant in secret could unravel everything in public.

    A slow burn about longing, bad timing, and the unbearable intimacy of knowing exactly how someone throws.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander comes out and unleashes Shane Hollander Hysteria across the NHL.
    All-stars circle like it's free agency and he’s the only contract available.
    DMs combust. Rival captains get bold.
    Connections start forming faster than anyone can keep up.
    The Metros couldn’t care less because Shane keeps dominating on the ice while getting fucked in multiple time zones.
    It becomes the worst-kept secret in professional hockey: everyone wants their turn.
    Or:
    Shane Hollander comes out and discovers freedom can look like a lot of things.
    Sometimes it looks like sex across time zones.
    Sometimes it looks like queer community forming around him across the league.
    Sometimes it looks like becoming the most confident version of himself he has ever been.
    Shane Hollander is having a great time.
    This fic is loud, messy, and sometimes a little ridiculous until it isn’t.

    Shane-centric.
    Multiple partners/poly dynamics.
    Character studies of many different men.
    Finding queer joy and community.
    Autism, mental illness, and different attachment styles.
    Or as I like to say..
    A slow emotional horror story inside a romcom porno.

    Summary

    Shane glanced at his fox, Akane. Still between Rozanov’s legs.

    Dark eyes staring back at him. Akane didn’t have dark eyes. She had hazel eyes, brilliant, multifaceted gems that glimmered playfully in even the dimmest light.

    That was Rozanov’s daemon. Of course it was.

    Rozanov’s daemon was identical to Shane’s. The same body shape. The same small white diamond above the nose. The same deeper red blaze along the spine. But he still should’ve been able to tell it wasn’t Akane.

    Who can’t recognize their own daemon?
