Summary
Shane Hollander always had a strategy. He had a strategy for winning the Cup, a strategy for managing the press, and a strategy for keeping his relationship with his rival-turned-boyfriend, Ilya Rozanov, strictly in the dark. He really was good at managing it all… Right up until the moment a medical impossibility turned into a positive pregnancy test, and the only man Shane ever loved asked him to do the one thing he couldn’t: tell the truth.
Five years post-breakup, Shane is technically winning. He has the trophies, the privacy, and their brilliant daughter, Airi. And he is perfectly co-parenting with his ex, Ilya Rozanov. The rules are simple: minimal contact, polite text messages about their daughter, and absolutely no acknowledging about their past.
Until Yuna Hollander decides to intervene. Suddenly, the ocean Shane put between them is gone. Shane’s new strategy is simple: survive seven days with Ilya without falling apart.

Summary
The prologue picks up mid-book 6, but rather than Brad posting the video to Twitter he sends it directly to the Montreal Metros. In this universe, Shane and Ilya are not outed to the world, but Shane is still kicked off the Metros team and transfers to Ottawa.
This fic follows Shane and Ilyas first year as teammates, settling into their lives together after getting secretly married over the summer. In this timeline, Shane learns to heal from the wounds of being outed to his team, Shane and Ilya get to ease into being a full-time couple before being thrust into the spotlight, and they get to navigate coming out on their own terms.
After a decade of the world being too hard on them, I just really wanted my favorite husbands to find a soft place to land. While the road is still long and difficult, this AU is all about putting them back in control of how they want the world to see them. It also gives so many more hilarious opportunities to watch other characters react to them coming out.

Summary
“What Hollander? Never seen a pocket pussy before?”
Shane snorts, he’s seen a pocket pussy before- but this one is a little different. It’s shaped like an egg. He frowns. Ilya takes the egg-shaped object out of the bag, grinning as he unravels the packaging,
“Is Japanese sex toy. I bought it online.”
Or
Ilya makes a sex itinerary for his schedule-loving husband.

Summary
Dennis Whitaker’s life is in freefall.
Dennis' family disowned him for coming out and breaking off an engagement they'd spent years cultivating, his medical career was destroyed after being blackballed in the industry from his ex-family's foundation, and now he scrapes by as a barista, barely able to afford coffee, let alone his dreams.
Exhausted, broke, and invisible in a city that once promised him everything, Dennis stumbles through double shifts until a chance encounter changes his fate:
Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch, a charming, wealthy celebrity in the medical industry, walks into Dennis’s coffee shop and sees past his exhaustion and desperation to the man beneath. What starts as flirtation quickly deepens when Robby offers Dennis warmth, kindness, and a way out, where both parties can get exactly what they want.
For Robby, a relationship where he knows exactly where both parties stand. For Dennis, a chance to live in the lap of luxury and have a chance at returning to the industry he loves. For both? They'll have to decide if this relationship is purely transactional, or if something deeper is bubbling under the surface.
