    Summary

    Hans has had enough. The people don’t respect him, his uncle thinks he is unfit for anything, and nothing he ever does is enough.
    So he ventures out on a whim, gets his helmet visor hopelessly stuck shut, saves a woman’s life, and hears the most magical words of his life: thank you.

    He quickly decides to do it again.

    Anonymously.

    Throw in a pesky local blacksmith, one fateful visit to the bathhouse, and a mysterious knight with the same idea (whom he keeps running into)—and Hans’ life becomes something he could never have expected.

    Or: a little story about how two idiots manage to find each other twice and accidentally create a local legend.

    Summary

    “I see you there, you know,” the alpha calls out to Aerion. “Are you the stable boy?”

    Aerion’s eye twitches at the mere thought of him being a stable boy. This man, honestly, what a brute to assume such a thing.

    He wants nothing more than to bite the alpha’s head off, but instead, he just settles for biting his lip to keep his anger at bay. He cannot draw attention to himself.

    No,” Aerion snaps at the brute, readjusting the hood of his cloak to make sure it stays on and conceals his hair. “Leave.”

    He cannot let anyone see it, lest he wants to be returned to his father.

    “Nothing to be ashamed of if you are,” the alpha tries to placate him. “It’s a decent job to have.”

    Then, to Aerion’s horror and annoyance, the alpha tosses him a coin, one that proceeds to land by Aerion’s feet.

    aerion runs away to escape an arranged marriage and ends up meeting a brute of an alpha at a stable, out of all places.

    Summary

    Dunk’s just a lad from Cork who secured a full scholarship to Oxford… He feels inadequate— coming from a humble background and suddenly surrounded by hyphenated last names and signet rings. He hopes to not make a fool of himself.

    Aerion’s family is facing a political embarrassment, the Targaryens may be asset “rich” and title rich, but being a Lord doesn’t pay the maintenance bills of their summer homes. And Aerion’s grandfather just lost the London Mayoral elections, so that’s even a bigger embarrassment. His family’s broke, and he’s trying to save face in Oxford.

    They meet via a fresher’s party… and oh my god someone is in deep DENIAL.

    TLDR: Lovable and humble Dunk meets pretty boy Aerion trying to keep afloat in a world where his family is losing its grip. Dunk becomes his anchor.

    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?
