    What he didn't expect was 50 questions that were about to change his whole damn life.

    Or: How an autism diagnosis, a therapist and something magical called communication rebuild the whole trajectory of the Hollander/Rozanov saga bit by bit.

    Summary

    NHL golden boy Shane Hollander has spent his entire life being perfect — the ideal captain, the flawless teammate, the face of the franchise. He’s also spent his entire life hiding.

    When a chance encounter in a New York club leads him to Ilya Rozanov, Shane discovers what it means to finally let go. The problem? Ilya isn’t just confident, wealthy, and dangerously attractive. He’s also the heir to the Russian Bratva’s North American empire.

    What starts as one reckless weekend becomes something neither of them expected: real, consuming, and worth protecting at any cost — even when that cost includes bodies, lies, and a secret that could destroy everything Shane has built.

    Twenty-five years, three Stanley Cups, countless threats, and one question: how far will you go for the person who makes you feel like yourself?

    Summary

    This fic is based on a prompt from Twitter/X: “someone write a hs au where instead of rugby nick plays ice hockey and teaches charlie to skate on one of their "we are just friends best bro pals hanging out" dates that neither of them realizes is a date until a lot later”

    Nick and Michael play on a hockey team together, and Tori drags Charlie to practice one day. Alternating Charlie and Nick POV's, chapters will be posted two at a time to show both POV's of the same events. The entire work is written and will be updated regularly.

    **Rating has been changed to reflect the newest chapters**

    Summary

    Fake Dating AU. Nick and Charlie have been friends for quite some time when Harry pesters Nick about taking Tara or Imogen to the upcoming school dance Nick lies and says he's already got a date to the dance. Struggling to find someone Nick turns to Charlie and asks him to pretend to be his boyfriend and act like he's in love with Nick to prove to Harry that he can't control Nick's love life. For Charlie it isn't much of an act at all. The hardest part for Charlie is to try and remember that none of this is real. Will Charlie be able to survive the dance without falling entirely for Nick's act? And just how much of it is actually an act?

    TRIGGER WARNING: mild homophobic and biophobic comments, and some non-consensual face touching (it's all very minimal and not a major part of the story but figure I'd put in the warning just in case, better safe than sorry!)

    Summary

    “Nick. I’m telling you, it’ll be nicer for the pictures. More professional, you can’t be standing off to the side in every picture alone. Find some girl quick, or I’ll find one for you,” David said.

    “I already have a plus one!” Nick shouted at his brother in frustration. David paused, slowly turning around from facing the counter to face Nick. “What? Who is it? You never mentioned having a girlfriend before,” David’s eyes narrowed at him.

    “Charlie,” Nick blurted out.

    or

    David, Nick’s brother, has his wedding in 2 weeks and he insists on Nick having a date for pictures. Not just any date, a date with a girl, since David doesn’t believe Nick likes both boys and girls. Nick wanting to prove his brother wrong, claims he has a date and it’s not with a girl, but his best friend Charlie Spring.
