    Summary

    It’s 2023, and Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov (almost) have it all: they’re married, they’re playing for the Ottawa Centaurs, they’ve already won a Stanley Cup together.

    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 and Ilya have learned what IVF is.

    And it goes like this.
     

    Or:

    Shane and Ilya’s three-year IVF journey to parenthood, feat. egg donor Svetlana, gestational carrier [name redacted but you can guess], Ilya's baby name list, 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

    Rozanov made a dismissive noise. “No, no, I will pick you up. Send me your address.”

    “I’m not giving you my home address.”

    “Why not!”

    “Because you’ll probably post it on social media to psych me out before our next game.”

    That made Rozanov laugh. “It is good idea,” he said. Stopped laughing. Started again. Blew out a breath like he had to get himself together. “I might do this to you,” he allowed, “but you have nice boyfriend living with you now. I would not do this to him. You are safe.”

     

    In which Ilya Rozanov adopts himself into Scott and Kip's household and refuses to leave. Kip finds this very sweet. Scott is going to kill him.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is a man who thrives on structure, routine, the solid ground of a ten-year plan. Ilya likes that about him, likes the embracing squeeze of having a life organized in tandem with Shane.

    No one would call Ilya a man who thrives on structure. But it’s there, if not in his DNA then in the patterns of his brain. A call-and-response of: they do this, I do that.

    When Ilya’s life is flayed open for the world to dissect, how will they push-and-pull their way back towards what was once a well-organized life?


    “I thought we could go through the schedules and figure out what days we’ll be in the same cities this season, or when either of us have a couple of days off in a row. Maybe make a shared calendar, so we c—”

    “A sex calendar? Your parents are arriving in thirty minutes, and you are proposing making a sex calendar?” Oh, this was delicious. He’d be able to eat out on this for years, if Shane was willing to give him that long.

    “It’s not a sex calendar! It’s just … when we might be able to see each other,” he finished, already sounding defeated.

    “And what are you planning on doing when we are seeing each other? Not fucking?”
