  1. Scott knew fuck all about figure skating, but he knew this: Kip Grady flew across the ice. No one on the Admirals would beat him in a puck race. He turned sideways, clearly staging for a move, and then he jumped, revolving weightlessly through the air, before landing on a single silver blade. Scott was close enough to hear the scraping sound of it before the breathless gasp of the audience resolved into cheering. Beside Scott, Carter called out, “Woo, yeah!”

  2. Kip lets his arms drop to his sides after a while and Scott pulls back enough to look at him. He's beautifully flushed, eyes still a little unfocused and his smile bright and happy. He puts a hand to Scott's cheek, looking back at him with so much love.

    "I'm gonna marry you."

    "Yeah," Scott replies, suddenly breathless. "Yes, you are."

  3. Ilya suddenly cleared his throat, squared his shoulders, lifted his chin with a strange expression and began reciting poetry in Russian.

    Shane's jaw dropped.

    “...anyway, he cut his wrists, wrote this poem with his blood, and hanged himself. What?”

    Shane closed his mouth, shook his head, and finally said,

    “When I came here, I expected a lot of things. I don't know that you'd make me drink litres of vodka or something like that. But not poetry in a cemetery, I admit, I didn't see it coming.”

    ...

    NHL 2012 Lockout. Hollander comes to Moscow to play in the KHL and learns two things: Moscow landlords don't particularly like renting to Asians, and Ilya Rozanov has a spare room.

  5. A career in professional sports meant that weekends were rarely free. But hockey games didn't happen that often on a Sunday, and half of them were retired these days anyway. And Eric couldn't think of a better use of anyone's time than spending it with the people they loved.

  6. Shane inhales, the air stinging as it scores down his throat. He can hear the rattle of his balcony door as his dad reenters the room, his parents' hushed conversation, muffled by the frantic prey-animal thunder of his heart.

    He's so fucking stupid.

    Even now, as he tries to figure out what to say, words pool on his tongue, ones that he knows he won't actually be able to voice. The familiar, flat-toned voice from the monthly DOMU videos rings through his ear, perfectly neutral as his brain reminds him that the longer time arcana has to work in the body, the less of a chance you have resisting it.

    OR: The Might of Montreal lingers in the gaps as Shane struggles to come to terms with everything he's discovered.

  7. 1987. New York Admirals Captain Scott Hunter is fifteen seasons deep into the kind of hockey career most players can only dream of and keeping one hell of a secret. He navigates his life in NYC, intimately aware at every turn that a single photograph or a trace of a rumor could end his livelihood.

    Kip Grady has never known how to hide. A grad student and early organizer for ACT UP, he spends his days marching through the Village and organizing mutual aid, fighting for a queer community battling for its life against a devastating epidemic. When their paths cross, Scott is forced to consider the limits of his carefully constructed closet and decide if he is finally ready to stand in the light.

    OR: Scott and Kip meet in 80s NYC at the height of the AIDS crisis.

    Additional Spoilers Here

    I promise that these characters do not, at any point, contract HIV: Scott, Kip, Ilya, and Shane.

    Scott and Kip, as well as Shane and Ilya, will all have the happiest ending possible given the constraints of the time period.

  8. Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov have been best friends since they were twelve. They were attached at the hip, as much as two straight guys could be. Everyone accepted that Shane and Ilya were just being Shane and Ilya. Or: Shane and Ilya think they know where to draw the line between straight best friends and whatever the hell they keep doing.

  9. “Ilya?” his voice is thick and heavy on his tongue. He's so agonizingly beautiful, his face tender and red from the impact of his helmet hitting the ice moments before. “I’m okay,” he insists, blinking slowly.

    And then, starting at his fingertips, Shane starts to fade away, just like St-Simon and Marlow and Pike moments before. Eyes soft, Shane gazes at Ilya, not seeming to realize what’s happening at all. And Ilya, overcome with terror, can only watch as Shane’s whole being simply disintegrates into thin air.

    Half the universe is snapped out of existence, including Shane.
    Ilya struggles to cope.

    Or, a character study on grief, ending with reunion.

  10. Dr Shane Hollander has spent fifteen years looking for a statue most scholars believe never existed. He finally gets his vindication when it turns up on a construction site outside Florence, perfectly preserved in all its Greek-god beauty and carrying an untranslatable inscription.

    It would be the best day of his life if the insufferable linguist dispatched to help decode the text didn't have the exact same face as the statue that's possessed his thoughts since he was seventeen.

  11. Ilya has some stuff he needs to work out with Marly before he's letting him near Shane again.

    This better not awaken something in him.

    Excerpt:
    Marly looks good. Really fucking good, with his shirt open and his hair tousled. It looks like he hasn't shaved in three days. It reminds Ilya of the picture, the sculpted hairy chest and the hint of one dark nipple, the detail cruelly obscured. He's overly aware of how Marly fills out this shirt now, unfastened in a deep vee, the button straining. This never felt like a problem before, how good he looks. How… touchable.

    Ilya orders them both a beer. Like usual. Like the last time he had seen this man, they hadn't both been balls-deep in Ilya's life partner.

  12. “Is this a good thing? You’re acting crazy.” Ilya starts slowly, his hand resting on Shane’s hip. “I think it is. I think it’s a really good thing.” Shane turns to wrap himself around Ilya, holding him close and pressing his nose into his husband’s scent gland. This would be a good thing.

  13. The morning after the draft, Ilya stared at the headline for far too long. At Hollander’s beaming smile, at his young, innocent happiness, at the terrible hair and big brown eyes and the way he looked in the Bear jersey. Ilya’s colors. Ilya felt a rush of possessiveness that wasn’t at all appropriate. Hollander was so… edible. Ilya wanted to unhinge his jaw like a python and swallow him down.

    He closed his eyes. That wasn’t appropriate. That wasn’t at all appropriate. Hollander was Ilya’s rookie and he was soon to be billeting him. There will be no eating. No nibbling, no gnawing, no gobbling, no swallowing.

    He switched to his texts and tapped the number Keppler had sent him.

    “Hello?” asked Hollander’s tentative voice. Oh, Ilya would not survive this.

    “Hi,” Ilya said, brightly. “Shane Hollander?”

    “Oh,” Hollander said. “Are you… Ilya Rozanov?”

    What about just a tiny nibble? One little nibble on one of those cute cheeks?

  14. Shane Hollander doesn't know what he is. He knows what he wants. For a long time, he tells himself those are different things.

    Ilya Rozanov knows what he is. He can't control what he wants. For a long time, he tells himself those are the same thing.

    They’re just boys who handle it badly—from a junior tournament in Canada to the NHL draft to the moment a security camera at the end of a hallway changes everything

  15. Shane and Ilya get arrested hours after Team Canada wins the World Junior Championship. From one day to the next, their lives are flipped upside down. As prisoners – er, incarcerated persons –, they are no longer climbing the hockey social ladder. They are no longer rival captains and star hockey players bearing responsibility for their nations’ and their future MLH teams’ hopes. They are nothing more than cellmates awaiting trial, caught in a tedious cycle of empty days where privacy is a distant memory. However will they pass the time?

    Good thing they have each other. Now if only they could be honest about their feelings... Ideally, before they're released and face the legal and professional consequences of their venture into crime.

  16. After spending an embarrassing amount of time researching baseball, I came to a realization: if Shane isn't playing hockey, then baseball is absolutely his next great love. It's a sport with one of the largest percentages of Asian players among the major North American leagues, and one that lets him push himself to the absolute limit as a rare two-way player. Honestly, what more could Shane ask for?

    Yuri, from Tadaima, Okaeri, is back! This time, she's the daughter of Alpha!Ilya and Omega!Shane, who are now captains of the Boston Bears and the Boston Red Sox, respectively.

    I really hope you'll enjoy Out of Left Field. ❤️

  18. The phone rings and Shane startles, fists tightening in his hair as the sound grates against him. Ilya grabs the device from the counter above him and silences it, tossing it towards the living room and away from the tiny, careful bubble he's created. He watches as Shane's eyes close tightly, a small huff of rattling breath escaping him.

    “How could there be a video?” He whispers, almost so quietly that Ilya nearly misses it. Maybe he wasn't intended to hear it in the first place.

    Or: A sequel to Try, Try Again - the assault happened, Shane recovered, but when someone sends a link to an online video, their world is tipped upside down again.

    Heed the tags! We get a bit more graphic in this one, again, I don't go into explicit detail of the assault, but it is referenced and opening scenes of the video are included. If you do not wish to do this to yourself because you like happiness, please, follow your heart and click away.

  19. When Ilya promised his therapist that he would do something special for himself after Ottawa’s roadtrip, he didn’t tell her that something special would involve high-end lingerie. She might suggest he tell Shane.

    Shane liked him masculine and strong, but Shane was stuck in Montreal for meetings. Ilya had plenty of time to indulge in his harmless little secret. His boyfriend would never know.

  20. [Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov sit in chairs in the Ottawa Centaurs locker room. Behind them several of their teammates, including Luca Haas, Troy Barrett, Zane Boodram, Wyatt Hayes, Evan Dykstra, Nick Chouinard, Tanner Dillon, and several rookies stand behind them. Shane sits with his arms crossed in the chair, looking slightly uncomfortable, while Ilya appears relaxed with his legs spread wide as he smiles at Shane. Harris Drover's voice can be heard behind the camera.]

    Harris: Alright, everyone, I'm going to ask you questions about who is more likely to do something between Shane and Ilya, and then you'll move behind the one you think the statement most matches, and if you think it equally applies, you can stand in the middle. Sound good?

    [There's a chorus of agreement, except for one loud, 'no' from Shane, and Zane playfully ruffles his hair causing Shane to blush, his scowl lightening slightly.]

    Harris: Great! Okay, here's the first question.
