Summary
Shane has built the perfect life—the kind a retired hockey star is supposed to want. A sprawling home in Los Angeles, a glamorous actress wife, and a carefully constructed lavender marriage that works beautifully for both of them. He and Rose are soulmates in every way that matters—platonically, of course. With his career behind him and his old injury flaring up more often than not, Shane should be more than content to settle into his poolside retirement.
Then his pool gets infested with biting waterbugs. With no other option, Rose hires a pool boy to deal with the problem. A pool boy Shane becomes, inevitably, obsessed with.
[ OR... Shane and Rose are in a lavender marriage, and stupidly rich. Rose calls a pool boy to help with their waterbug infestation. That pool boy happens to be Ilya Rozanov. ]

Summary
Shane Hollander only goes to the café near the rink because his daughter loves the hot chocolate.
The fact that Ilya Rozanov remembers Louise’s order, gives her free cookies, and looks suspiciously happy whenever they walk in is completely irrelevant.
Louise, however, seems to think the barista would fit perfectly into their little family.

Summary
Rozanov made a dismissive noise. “No, no, I will pick you up. Send me your address.”
“I’m not giving you my home address.”
“Why not!”
“Because you’ll probably post it on social media to psych me out before our next game.”
That made Rozanov laugh. “It is good idea,” he said. Stopped laughing. Started again. Blew out a breath like he had to get himself together. “I might do this to you,” he allowed, “but you have nice boyfriend living with you now. I would not do this to him. You are safe.”
In which Ilya Rozanov adopts himself into Scott and Kip's household and refuses to leave. Kip finds this very sweet. Scott is going to kill him.

Summary
Shane was gay. That was the entire point of this whole thing. He was a man who loved another man. And he was a man.
He was a professional athlete, nearly six feet tall, just about 200 pounds. But for every single thing about him that he felt like served to qualify him as a man, it was like Ilya had somehow turned the dial up to eleven.
And Shane loved it.
or, five times that Shane is overwhelmed by his husband's masculinity and one time that Ilya realizes he is not the man of the house.

Deep Misunderstanding by some1_around

Summary
“Am I a bad friend?”
Hayden has always been the guy Shane joked with, the guy he trusted to feed him without mocking him, the guy he roomed with on the road, and Shane is the only man who has ever seen Hayden cry, and Hayden loves Shane. He fucking loves him. They are like brothers, and they have been for almost ten fucking years. He’s always been Shane’s guy, Shane’s best friend.
Except all along, maybe that wasn’t true. Ilya Rozanov, apparently, had been the guy. Before Hayden had ever met Shane, Ilya Rozanov had been there. And Hayden had never even noticed.
Shane is all over every inch of Hayden’s life. Hayden thought that was reciprocal.

“You know I think about you all the time,
And my deep misunderstanding of your life,
And how bad it must have been for you back then,
And how hard it was to keep it all inside.”- Language:
