    Summary

    A freezing Boston sets the stage for a case that shouldn’t exist: a young man from the city’s elite found dead in the slums, under circumstances far too neat to be real. Detective Shane Hollander - methodical, unyielding, sharp enough to read a crime scene like a coded message - needs only a glance to sense that someone is steering the investigation off course.

    Every lead points to the Raiders and their leader, Ilya Rozanov: a master of high‑stakes robberies, arrogant, unpredictable, dangerously magnetic. The perfect suspect, maybe too perfect. The deeper Shane digs, the clearer it becomes that a powerful hand is shaping the narrative, deciding who gets blamed and who stays untouchable.

    As he follows trails that never make it into official reports - underground cage fights, glittering galas, unlikely alliances - Shane finds himself pulled into a maze of corruption and buried truths. And at the center of it stands Rozanov, a man who should be just a name on a file but the closer Shane gets to the truth, the more he feels another pull - dangerous, unexpected, and impossible to ignore.

    or: Detective Shane and Gangster Ilya. A hard-boiled detective story. Rivalry, smuttyness, romance.

    Summary

    Eddie’s massage therapist is Briana. 

    He confirmed this six times: twice on the website, once during a phone call he made from his truck in the grocery store parking lot like it was a covert operation, three more times in the confirmation email.

    "Eddie?"

    He looks up.

    That is not Briana.

    The guy standing in the hallway entrance is tall and built like someone whose job description wildly undersold the physical reality. There's a birthmark above his eye that shouldn't work but does, way too much, and his scrubs fit him well. They — okay. They fit him obscenely well, actually.

    His arms. God, his arms. They're just arms. Everyone has arms.

    Eddie is suddenly, involuntarily, thinking about what it would feel like to have those arms braced on either side of him. Or around him. Or holding him down.

    Which is not a thought he's ever had about a man's arms before. He's pretty sure. He's almost sure. He's going to move on from this.

    He is going to stop looking at the arms.

    Any second now.

    Or,
    It's just a massage. Eddie can survive that. Right?

    Summary

    Ilya and Shane have a fight that leaves teeth marks.
    Ilya flies to Florida for a game against Vancouver with his heart in pieces… and then the universe decides to add turbulence, hospitals, and a truly unhinged amount of emotional damage on top.

    Shane shows up anyway. Feelings get said out loud.
    And yes—Quinn Hughes is there, staring into the middle distance like he’s buffering… because what if the “Quinn sees ghosts” jokes are, unfortunately, canon?

    A story about fear, forgiveness, being seen, and choosing each other where the whole world can’t look away.

     

    PLEASE SEE AUTHORS NOTE REGARDING THE INCLUSION OF QUINN IN THIS STORY!
