    Summary

    It’s 2023, and Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov almost have it all.

    It’s their second season together on the Ottawa Centaurs. They’re married, they've already won a Stanley Cup on the same team, they're ridiculously happy.

    But there's one other thing they've always wanted.

    And no, it's not for Shane to get pregnant, okay? Ilya was only joking about that.

    They just want a baby using real-world, reproductive medicine. Yes, Shane has explained to Ilya what IVF is.

    It happens like this.
     

    Or:

    Shane and Ilya’s three-year IVF journey to parenthood, feat. Ilya's baby name list, egg donor Svetlana, gestational carrier [name redacted but you can guess], Shane's first drag brunch, lovable dummy Hayden Pike, Anya's first ferry boat ride, a chapter of Yuna POV, pansexual Rose Landry, a 5+1 of pregnancy announcements (chapter 11, I die for you), and eventual #girldad life.
     

    Or:

    The "I want to have kids with you" fic I wanted to see in the world.

    Summary

    Ilya starts calling Shane boring regularly after that, not cruelly but persistently, the way you press a bruise you know is there just to confirm it still hurts. Shane's cereal is boring, Shane's training schedule is boring, Shane's shoes lined up by the door are boring, and Shane responds with variations of "fuck off" and "you're an asshole" that become increasingly creative and occasionally surprising. They do not talk about anything that matters. They talk about groceries and whose turn it is to take out the trash and whether Ilya's music is too loud at midnight, which it is.

    On the ice, Shane is someone else entirely. Ilya watches him from the upper stands every morning with vending machine coffee going cold in his hand and doesn't tell anyone.

    Or: Shane asked Ilya once how you know when it's the right person. Ilya described Shane to him, and Shane didn't recognise himself.

    Summary

    Shane is miserable, Shane is depressed, Shane wants to give up.
    Ilya will never let him, and if he has to drag his boyfriend to another country to make sure he is looked after. He will.

    Shane will be signing with Boston and Ilya will wrap his precious in blankets.

    Shane needs to stop assuming people hate him and his gayness.

    Starts in 2019, Ilya and Shane have been dating for like 20 months at this point.

    Important tag - Shane is a bad narrator and will assume the worst. People are not what Shane assumes.

    Summary

    For years, Shane Hollander played the game of hockey while hiding in the closet. He kept his eyes on the ice and his heart under lock and key. Every stolen moment with Ilya Rozanov was shadowed by the fear of being caught. He spent a decade collecting "what-ifs" instead of memories.

    Now that he’s officially Mr. Rozanov-Hollander, Shane realizes that "later" is no longer a barrier to overcome. He’s making up for every missed opportunity with a vengeance. Shane has spent a lifetime being careful; now, he’s ready to be brazen, and Ilya is about to find out exactly what happens when his husband stops caring about what others think.

    Les Plaisirs Défendus is French for forbidden pleasures. Shane doesn't have to find these pleasures forbidden anymore.

    Summary

    Instead of Shane being injured, someone outs Ilya with a video from when he was way too young right after their game with Montreal.

    In the midst of the turmoil and wanting to be there for the man he loves, Shane has some tough decisions to make. Ones he might not be ready to do so.
