    “If the plums are good, we will get them,” he assures her and she smiles in relief. “Kay Daddy.” She goes back to looking at the numerous, colorful brands of cereal around them in the aisle. Shane sighs, one hand pressed against the underside of his swollen belly as a barrage of movement steals his focus momentarily. He’s so distracted by the movement of their baby within, that it takes him a second to realize the gentle presence of his daughter has disappeared from his side. He turns, so quickly that it makes his hip muscles pull uncomfortably, trying to spot her in the aisle. His heart lodges in his throat when he realizes she is no longer even in the same aisle. “Ren?” he chokes out, feet moving in the direction of the aisle’s edge, hoping to god she’s somewhere extremely nearby and he’s just missing her. The hurried waddle to the end of the aisle feels like it takes an eternity, his heart racing, sweat beading on his forehead, pulse stuttering. Fuck, what is she wearing right now? What color is her shirt? Oh, fuck, what if he has to tell the police what she was last seen in? What if he- what if she’s- -aka a pregnant shane has a scary day with their older daughter-

    The blackouts are getting worse.

    They aren't dangerous, in the long run, just strange. Strange because they only ever happen when Shane is at home; never on the road, at the rink, or even when in public.

    His blackouts only ever happen in his condo.

    Shane doesn't even realize something is happening at first. He'll get home after practice or a game, exhausted, and the second the front door closes behind him something in his body loosens. A warmth spreads through him and his thoughts will go fuzzy at the edges. His inner omega will start purring low and smug in the back of his mind.

    Nest, it says.

    Once the thought hits, the urge becomes almost unbearable. He usually makes it to the bedroom before the rest hits. Shane will crawl into bed still half dressed, burrowing instinctively into the blankets, dragging pillows close against his chest while warmth floods his body in thick, heavy waves. His painfully organized nest will become messy, Shane digging around until the chaotic placements feels perfect.

    And then—nothing. Absolutely nothing. Hours vanish, sometimes even entire evenings.

    “Ilya, what are we gonna do?” Shane says.

    Ilya finishes whatever he has been doing on his phone, and tosses it gently to the bed beside him. He crosses the room to Shane, stands in front of him, squeezes into his shoulders with his big hands, rubbing them like he means to warm them up.

    “Looks like we will have a little vacation,” he says, with a big obnoxious grin.

     

     

    Boston and Montreal are sent to Paris to play against each other in an exhibition series in January 2017. Ilya and Shane decide to stay in Paris for one more night. Just one more night, so they can talk. Maybe finally understand each other.

    They aren't expecting a volcano to erupt in Iceland and close all the airspace in Europe, leaving them stranded there. Together.

    Welcome to the Ultimate Game.

    If you’re looking for a chronicle of redemption or, worse yet, a fairy tale ending with a kiss under the snow, you’ve walked into the wrong locker room. This is the story of a sabotage.

    For ten years, the hockey world has feasted on the rivalry between two captains with the same hunger one brings to a public execution. And us? We served them the blood on a silver platter, while in the shadows of hotel rooms in Montreal or Boston, we exchanged fluids and secrets with the precision of two spies in enemy territory.

    They believe the ice is a sanctuary of heterosexual secrets. They don’t realize that while they were betting on our next elbow to the face, they were witnessing a long, violent decade of foreplay.

    Now, it’s time for El Plan.

    Shane is the butterfly flapping its wings on an underwear billboard. I am the tornado about to level the entire NHL.

    Grab your popcorn. It’s going to be a beautiful massacre.

    My name is Ilya Rozanov, and you can thank me later.

    Or: how Shane and Ilya gaslit the entire world by officially "starting to date" in 2020.

    While there are exceptions to every rule, it is generally considered a fact that putting two alphas in a room together, when one or both are in rut, is asking for someone to be killed in a rut induced act of violence.

    This is common knowledge.

    So, when Boston's Head Dynamics Specialist discovers they've put Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov into the same quarantine room after a mass rut inducing incident, there is a lot to be concerned about.

    Rose studies him in a way that makes Ilya squirm. "You know, Shane tried to brace me for working with you today and so far you're much quieter than he led me to believe."
    This conversation was made in a lab to drag Ilya further into his depression. "Really," he says dryly. "What did golden boy of hockey have to say about me?"
    Rose snorts. "That you'd talk shit about him if I mentioned him so I shouldn't. That you're always being abrasive to the press, but when the cameras are off you're not so bad."
    Ilya chooses the safest thing in that to respond to. "Well, the cameras are off."
    "They are," Rose smiles at him.

    Shane Hollander is perfectly capable of identifying flaws.

    He can identify flaws in his game.

    Flaws in his team's systems.

    Flaws in the way hockey romance novels portray professional athletes.

    What he cannot identify, despite overwhelming evidence, is the reason every character he writes keeps turning into Ilya Rozanov.

    A story about hockey, fiction, denial, and all the things Shane would rather not think about.
