    Summary

    It's the Metros' season; Shane knows it. And no matter how many hits he takes, Shane's always been good at getting back on the ice.

    Letting Ilya Rozanov touch his bruised body when he comes off the ice doesn't change anything. It can't; Shane knows that, too.

    Summary

    Most people in Shane’s position would call a doctor after two positive tests, but Shane isn't most people, so instead of doing that, he takes 17 tests over the course of two days.

    Final result: 16 positive, one negative.

    Summary

    “Should call you the Ottawa Puppies,” says the Toronto centre, Svensson. As an insult it makes no sense, so Ilya ignores it, until he continues, “Hear Hollander keeps you on a short leash.”

    Ilya is the captain, so if anything, he should be holding the leash. In English, you can be singular or plural, but he knows what Svensson is trying to say. He is saying Ilya Rozanov, you are Hollander’s bitch.

    “Only sometimes,” Ilya replies, grinning. He wins the face off.

    OR: Ilya trains himself to be a very, very good guard dog for Shane.

    Summary

    "Well," says Patroclus. Finally. "Hello there, traveler. Come to peruse my wares?"
    The wares in question make another funny choked sound low in his throat, tucked neatly in Patroclus' lap. He's just about incoherent, what with the miniscule movements Patroclus is grinding into him with, but he manages a gasped out, "Achilles," which Patroclus thinks is as fine a greeting as any. Achilles drops to his knees, looking slightly spellbound. His mouth is hanging open. Patroclus would close it for him, if he were closer.
    Struck dumb, Achilles says faintly, "Zagreus?"

    Summary

    Just that thing where the agent on a mission sends a horny voicemail back to his lover. Except--and here's the kicker--the Protagonist is absolutely certain he isn't sleeping with Neil. (Yet.)
