Summary
Shane Hollander would probably rather die than admit to the world (or himself) that he’s a sub, because all respected NHL players are doms. When years of living a touch-starved, repressed, hockey-focused life finally catch up with him and cause a medical emergency, he’s not scared or sad. He’s fucking angry. And he becomes Ilya Rozanov’s problem at the Behavioral Education & Authority Relationships Services (B.E.A.R.S. for short).
Or: Shane is strong, stubborn, difficult and he bites. Ilya is extremely patient but instantly whipped. A not entirely typical bdsm AU.

Summary
Prime Minister Ilya Rozanov is thriving. As an out bisexual refugee, he is the face of modern Canada. The pressure can be a lot, but he knows they're doing good work. And if he gets a bit lonely sometimes, that's not really important.
Voyageurs captain Shane Hollander is trying not to think about retirement. Or life after it. So when he gets a chance to meet the Prime Minister, well...maybe a little distraction is just what he needs.

Summary
Shane is left with a spinal cord injury after a catastrophic team event, and now he is left to rebuild a life that he didn’t sign up for.
Told through Shane’s therapy sessions and the memories he refused to face, the story follows grief, survivor’s guilt, rehab, and the slow realization that finding a way forward into his new reality may also mean finding a way back to Ilya—even when neither of them knows what that path is supposed to look like anymore.
This story is heavy, but it is also packed with tenderness, hope, and so much love. Enjoy!

Summary
Shane and Ravi meet when they are both too young to foresee the consequences of this chance encounter. A human boy, bright and curious, but too socially awkward to fit in well. A fae child, full of magic, but with wings so weak his own father considers him a disgrace to his folk.
Years later, they meet again. Both now carry invisible scars and secrets big enough to ruin... whatever it is that connects them.
