    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov has a plan.

    He and Shane are stupidly, disgustingly, almost offensively in love. They want a family. They're ready for the next impossible thing.

    Just one problem: Shane has two good years left on the ice, and while he wants a baby, he is not ready to be pregnant.

    Ilya is.

    Ilya is thirty-seven, retired or close enough to taste it, and in possession of what he considers several important advantages: excellent genetics, Olympic hips, and an undeniable talent for getting exactly what he wants. He would thrive being pregnant. Shane would thrive managing the logistics.

    Ilya offers to carry.

    Is simple. An easy workaround. Two alphas, one rare compatibility loophole, a spreadsheet, and a baby at the end of it.

    Unfortunately, nothing about Ilya Rozanov has ever been simple.

    And that is before the cravings, the hormones, the Jackie Pike alliance, and Hayden Pike’s dawning horror that Shane Hollander may be winning the husband Olympics.

    Summary

    “What did you mean?” Ilya finally asked, dragging his dirty hand over his dirty skin, feeling the tingle deep in his belly. He couldn’t get hard again so soon if he tried, but damn would he love to try.

    Hollander made a sleepy noise next to him, but didn’t actually answer, so Ilya continued. “Carrier, Hollander. What this mean?”

    He thought he understood the English word, but it’s clear that Ilya is missing something the way Hollander goes bright red under his arm. Between one blink and the next Hollander’s sitting up in the bed, back turned to Ilya, and Ilya felt his whole world tilt and he doesn’t know why.

    “Some… my dad’s family has this recessive trait. Very rare. Like super rare.” Hollander took a shaky breath, letting it out almost immediately. “There’s a low, really low, chance that I could get pregnant. If we have, you know, anal sex.”

    Summary

    Shane was twelve when hockey scouts started showing up to his games. He was barely fifteen when a check went horribly wrong, fucked his knee to hell and gave him a grade III concussion. During rehab he found swimming, and he was seventeen when he went to the Olympics as an alternate for freestyle swim events.

    He’s 24 and working for his mom’s sports PR company when he meets Ilya Fucking Rozanov.

    May contain: Shane Hollander navigating what it means to be mostly normal when your whole childhood was about preparing you for greatness. Shane Hollander attempting to flirt. Possibly less than 100% accurate descriptions of what a sports PR agent does.

    Summary

    Two cosmologists at the bottom of the world.
    Shane Hollander, a Toronto astrophysicist with a careful posture and a careful life, has spent years being good at not-thinking-about other things. Ilya Rozanov, Russian, a postdoc at Fermilab, brilliant and difficult and good at being looked at, has a reputation for being uncomplicated about who he wants and a wound he does not discuss with anyone.
    They meet on the ice. They keep meeting.
    The South Pole is a small place. Six weeks of summer is one thing. Nine months of winter with forty-eight people, no flights in or out, the sun gone since February, is another thing.
