    Summary

    “This might have been a bad idea.”
    “You think so?”
    “Hollander’s pissed.” Marlow said, stating the obvious.
    “No he’s not.” Ilya answered easily. “He’s just nervous.”
    “About what?”

    “About asking if he can watch you fuck me.”

     

    -OR-

    Ilya and Marlow have been hooking up for years - though it was never personal (until it was too late).

    Summary

    This is Shane's POV (new!Shane) of the fic 'so it's gonna be forever' by Lila_Mac.
    You must read that fic first!
    This is a working title and will probably change.
    I will not start posting here until Lila's fic is complete. Posting just the prologue now so that this fic has a home, and anyone who is interested can follow for updates.
    05/25/26 edit: At the end of Ch 18 of "so it's gonna be forever", Lila_Mac added this note:

    Real life is catching up to me, guys, so updates probably won't come as often and consistently as they did until ch 18. I think I'm probably also nearing the end of this story. I won't give an estimate of how many chapters left, as I don't really know myself, but I took a little break from writing, and when I came back to it, I very seriously considered changing it to complete at ch 18. I feel as if I achieved a satisfying conclusion to the time travel and Shane and Ilya's relationship in ch 17 and ch 18, and I don't want to drag it out if it doesn't feel natural. We'll see what the plot muse says, I guess.

    I trust they will mark the fic complete when it's time, and until then I will not publish this fic :)

    Summary

    So, if this isn't a dream, then it has to be the other thing. Time travel. Which…

    Well, Shane will believe in anything if it means Ilya isn't dead.

    So, yeah, time travel. World Juniors, 2008. Meeting Ilya for the first time ever. Again. For the second time.

    Ugh.

    Well, here he goes. It can't possibly be as awkward as the first time, right?

     

    OR, The Centaurs’ plane crashes and Ilya Rozanov dies. Roughly three months later, Shane Hollander dies on the ice. He then wakes up in 2008, on the day he met Ilya Rozanov for the first time.

    Summary

    Before him stands a girl, not older than eighteen. Probably a lot younger. She carries a cello case on her back, a backpack on her front and is flanked by two massive suitcases. She looks like a December in 2008. Like the World Junior Hockey Championships and like a cigarette not catching fire on a parking lot in Saskatchewan.

    Almost six years after the Ottawa Centaurs' plane crashed and Shane lost the love of his life, he opens the door of their home to Ilya's niece asking for a place to stay.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is 18 years old and a beta when he first competes at World Juniors in Saskatchewan. Shane's only expectation is to bring home gold. Instead, Shane unexpectedly presents as an omega during the gold medal game against Russia. Luckily, his rival Ilya Rozanov is there to help Shane, which is a good thing because Shane knows nothing about being an omega. Rozanov kindly offers to extend his stay to help Shane through his first heat.

    Only months later, Shane discovers that he came home with a whole lot more than a silver medal and an unwanted new designation. Somehow he's carrying the baby of a man who lives on the other side of the world. A man who never offered his phone number and doesn't have any social media to speak of.

    Somehow Shane is going to have to find a way to explain why he's suddenly pulling out of the 2009 draft, come to terms with giving up hockey and caring for a baby completely alone. All while desperately wishing he could share the joys of first smiles and the stress of sleepless nights with the alpha he's never quite been able to forget.

    Or

    Shane gets pregnant the first time they meet, but doesn't find out until Ilya is back in Russia with no way to contact him.
