Summary
Shane Hollander has a plan: 11 games left, then seventy-three days alone at the cottage to reset. No people, no stress, no suppressants. His body will fix itself.
Except his suppressants are failing faster than he realizes. His new linemate Ilya keeps showing up—in hotel rooms, on his line, in the spaces Shane usually keeps empty. And Ilya notices things. The way Shane's scent is changing. The way he's slowing down.
Shane counts down to the cottage like it's salvation.
But Rozanov doesn't keep his distance. And Shane's control is slipping.

Summary
Rozanov cocked his head. “You speak Russian? Or just the curse words?”
“Yes, I speak Russian,” he snapped, defensive and angry. He knew that it had been a mistake to even try to be friendly with Rozanov. “Why? Do I not look Russian to you?” He scoffed.
“No, not really,” Rozanov said. Some of his teammates laughed, although they mostly looked surprised that Shane was speaking to them at all. Rozanov didn’t laugh, though. “Are you Russian?”
“Go fuck yourself.”
+++
Despite an inauspicious start, when Russia’s Ilya Rozanov learns that Canada’s Shane Hollander is fluent in Russian at their first World Junior Championships tournament, it changes everything and sets them on a different course. Instead of being branded as rivals from the very beginning, Ilya and Shane start off as friends.
And, after all, a little friendly rivalry never hurt anyone, did it?

Summary
Severus Snape was ready to embrace death, bleeding out on the cold floor of the Shrieking Shack after Nagini's deadly attack. He had made peace with his end—relief, even, at the thought of escaping a life of torment and regret.
So why, in the ever-twisted fabric of fate, did he wake up in his fifteen-year-old body, back in his fifth year at Hogwarts, surrounded by ghosts of the past he thought he'd escaped forever?

Summary
“—and I know that there’s Becca and Tanner and Millie to consider, but I was wondering if you maybe wanted to move in? Together? With me?”
Mel blinks. He certainly doesn’t look like he’s having a stroke.
“Frank, why would we move in together?”
“I thought it might be nice,” he shrugs here, acting nonchalant even though Mel can see the tension in his jaw. “To take that next step in our relationship.”
“Frank, what are you talking about? We’re not in a relationship?”
At this, Frank’s frown deepens before widening into a frustrated half smile. “Uh, yes we are? We’ve been dating for nine months?”
What.
Or, Frank thinks Mel doesn’t do physical touch.
Or, Mel doesn’t realize they’ve been dating for nine months. -
