    Summary

    After ignoring his phone in favor of getting split in two by his situationship, Shane is stranded in Boston at the start of the zombie apocalypse.

    Ilya is left with nowhere to go, and Shane refuses to leave him behind. In order to survive, they have to cross the Canadian border and get to the cottage, together.

    But getting to Canada is far easier said than done. When Ilya is badly injured, their road-trip becomes a race against the dead—and the infection spreading through Ilya’s leg.

    Summary

    In early Cold War Berlin, a city divided by borders, paperwork and quiet surveillance, Shane Hollander—a meticulous Canadian specialist assigned to a checkpoint annex—meets Ilya Rozanov, a charismatic Soviet soldier whose confidence masks both danger and longing. Their connection begins in official spaces governed by rules and routines, then deepens in the margins of the city, where each meeting becomes more precarious than the last. As Berlin tightens and choices narrow, Shane must confront parts of himself he has never named, while Ilya faces the cost of loyalty, love and the possibility of escape.

    Summary

    “Will I see you again next week?” Shane asked, he stirred to the side, away from Ilya.

    “Only if I win.”

    “Win then, it’s all you care about anyway.”

    or Boxer Ilya wanted something more than winning, but Shane was the prize he could never win.

    Summary

    The Sunfolk and the Nightfolk have been enemies for centuries. It's hard to even say what started this animosity, but it's only grown stronger each generation. In order to maintain their dominance over the Lunare, the royalty of Solare imposes a marriage "alliance" once per generation, joining their strongest heir with an heir of the night court.

    Ilya is surprised to find that the magic that decides the Solare heir per generation resides within him, and he's now to travel to Lunare and choose a reluctant betrothed. Shane is terrified once he realizes the Sunfolk heir is going to choose someone unexpected as his bride, throwing their plans of rebellion into the air. As a solution, he offers himself.

    Ilya accepts.

     

    or:

    Shane and Ilya are heirs of opposing enemy fae nations, Lunare and Solare, and are joined in an alliance through marriage against their will. Their relationship is purely physical, until the resentment and bitterness towards each other turns into something else as they slowly learn about each other more and more.

    Summary

    Shane and Ilya are married, in love, and bound together both on and off the ice as teammates chasing playoff glory. From the outside, they look unbreakable—flawless chemistry during games, shared victories, and a season that seems to promise everything they’ve worked for. But behind closed doors, the cracks begin to show. Small fights turn into quiet resentments, habits go unchecked, and nights spent waiting become a painful routine. As love struggles against exhaustion, control, and escape, Shane is forced to confront how much he’s willing to endure to keep their marriage alive—and whether some things, once broken, can truly be fixed.

    (I read a tweet that someone wants some really angsty Hollanov fic and this just sparked something inside me to write this)
