    Summary

    Shane scratched the back of his neck. “Rose, uh… she figured it out. Us. Our history. All of it.”

    Ilya turned his head slowly, disbelieving. “Figured it out?”

    “To be fair, you and I weren’t exactly subtle in Montreal,” Shane said, sheepishly.

    Ilya huffed, scowling.

    “So, she knows.” He swallowed. “Everything?”

    “I mean, not all the gory details,” Shane said, shrugging. “But enough.”

    There was a pause long enough for the surf to swell and retreat twice.

    “And? What?” Ilya asked finally, jaw tight. “She is… disgusted?”

    Shane actually snorted. “Uh. No.”

    “No?”

    “No,” Shane said again, dragging a hand down his face. Then, half-laughing, “She, um. She thinks it’s fucking hot.”

    ---------

    Or, in essence, what if Rose clocks Shane and Ilya in Montreal, she's like, I want two boyfriends and I want the boyfriends to be boyfriends, too. God gave me two hands for a reason.

    Summary

    It was no secret that Shane Hollander loved one thing and one thing only, which was hockey. He spent his free time reading hockey books and watching game tape. He had an entire synthetic rink built at his cottage. He had an encyclopedic knowledge of every hockey stat from the modern era. It was so obvious - the reason he hadn’t fallen in love yet was because he needed to be with another hockey player, someone who cared about the game just as much as he did. Or, at least, almost as much as he did. Hayden didn’t know if there was anyone in the universe that loved it as much as Shane.

    And, thankfully, there were twenty-three professional women hockey players in their city!! Sure, that didn’t sound like a lot, especially when you factored in how many of them were probably single, but it was better than nothing! Now he just had to figure out how to get Shane to spend some quality time with the Victoire players. How hard could that possibly be?

    OR

    Hayden tries to set Shane up with PWHL players. Instead of a girlfriend, Shane finds community and the support he needs to go after the man of his dreams.

    Summary

    Ever since Percy became an instructor at camp, he knew first hand how stressful it was to be in charge of the health and safety of over a hundred demigods. Which was why he offered to travel to Olympus in Chiron's place to give the Olympians the monthly status report for camp.
    All he'd wanted to do was give Chiron the day off. He hadn't planned on anything exciting happening. He certainly hadn't planned on accidentally adopting the Ophiotaurus while he was there.
    As usual, nothing ever goes as planned for Percy Jackson.
