    Summary

    He'd watched the big dogs at the facility do this and understood in some wordless way that weight was the point, pressure was the point, the body saying I am here and I am not going anywhere

    But thirty pounds was what he had, so he used all of it.

    Troy's hands found his ears. His belly. The thick fur at the back of his neck.

    Chiron held still. It was so hard to do correctly, but he remained as still the best he could, like Hannah had been trying to teach him: weight distributed, head up, all of his attention on one person. 

    From across the desk he probably looked like a dog enjoying a cuddle.

    He was not enjoying a cuddle. He was working.

     

    Five times Chiron did his job in silence, and one time someone noticed

    Summary

    He was walking to his Jeep when the stench of cigarette smoke hit his nose. A few feet away, a tall, broad shouldered figure was standing, back to Shane, watching the sunset. Propped against the wall next to him was the bi-pride flag emblazoned sled.

    “That was a great game.” Shane said, taking a couple steps in the direction of the sledge hockey center. “You’re an amazing player to watch, but you’re really not supposed to smoke here.” The man stiffened and then pivoted slowly towards Shane. Backlit by the setting sun, his facial expression was indiscernible.

    “Oh my God Hollander, you are so boring.”

    Ilya was dead.

    Or at least, Alexei Rozanov said he was. Even after two years, Shane still hoped to see him again. He never imagined reuniting in the parking lot of a community center in suburban Ottawa.
    *
    A family emergency means Ilya and Shane never meet in Las Vegas. In Russia, Alexei uncovers Ilya's sexuality and attacks him, inflicting grievous injuries. Ilya escapes with his life, but is forced into hiding, seeking refugee status in Canada where he builds a quiet, but meaningful, existence.

    The only problem: even two years later, he misses Shane Hollander.

    Summary

    Harris clears his throat. “There is one more part to this. They also were hoping that after you do your intro you’ll goof around with their mascot, Gritty, on the ice for a bit.”

    Shane rolls his eyes, not that Harris can see him over the phone, but still.

    Clocking the silence, Harris continues, “He’s the most popular character in the league, you know. He has more followers on socials than some NHL teams. Within 24 hrs of his reveal he was tweeting death threats at Pittsburgh’s mascot. Having a Gritty moment could be really good exposure for the foundation.”

    “Can’t Ilya do it? He’s good at threats," Shane says morosely.

    **Shane and Ilya are ready to share their relationship with the world, and everyone has a different idea of how to make it happen. It’s a high pressure situation, and they are both so over it. Still, despite the craziness of their lives, Shane never thought that the big reveal would come because of Ilya’s jealousy towards a 300 pound, 7 foot tall, googly-eyed orange muppet, but here they are…

    A love letter to always being there for your partner, even if that includes starting a fight with the opposing team’s mascot.

    Summary

    Alex Robbins arrived in Ottawa with a smile sharp enough to cut skin.
    Not literally, of course. Nobody in the Ottawa Centaurs locker room would have described him as dangerous during his first week.
    They called him confident. Friendly. Charming.
    Coach Brandon Wiebe called him “a promising addition”.
    Harris Drover called him “camera-ready”.
    Ilya Rozanov called him “tiny baby rookie”.
    Only Shane Hollander disliked him immediately.
    And Shane hated himself for it.
    Because Shane knew jealousy could make ordinary things look ugly.
