Summary
[ON HIATUS]
In the middle of all of this, Wilhelm grasps three things. One: He’s in Bjärstad. Two: Oh my god, holy shit there’s two real live shifters right in front of me. Three: He’s so fucking dead.
—
All his life, Wilhelm had been told that shifters were ruthless, uncivilized killing machines, nothing but a blot upon the earth meant to be contained and controlled. His relatives’ numerous horror stories, along with his close, mother-son relationship with the President of the Commission for Human Defense haven’t given him any reason to believe otherwise.
But an accidental run-in with a shifter the morning after his arrival at Hillerska sparks something passionate, dangerous, and exhilarating—what may be just the thing to prove him wrong.
Family secrets, betrayals, and self-discoveries are unleashed upon Wilhelm when his growing connection to the shifter bursts alight and he finds himself struggling to balance a double life. One wrong step, and he could be killed. Yet, he learns this new encounter may also be a blessing in disguise; the world he had thought was far too different from his own could be the home he’d needed all along.

Summary

Summary
He has an inkling of what Simon is trying to do, but he can’t muster the will to stop him when it feels this good. Every point where they are touching leaves him buzzing with electricity but he doesn’t dare move; his limbs are heavy and his mind is blank, occupied only by the sensation of the boy behind him blanketing his skin with affection and his hand fitting perfectly beneath Wille’s against his bare chest, like two tailored magnets.
(or: the one where a new semester at Hillerska begins, and Wilhelm enjoys a peaceful morning with Simon in bed)

Summary
It’s a difficult concept for Shane to grasp, taking up space like that. Birthday parties are always so loud and demanding of everyone’s attention, and Shane doesn’t know how to handle it, always stressed that people don’t actually want to be there or are just patronising him. The idea that people want to get together to celebrate Shane, besides his parents and husband, is completely foreign to him. The idea that his hockey team would show up for his birthday is incomprehensible.
Or:
Two birthday wishes Shane makes, and how they come true (and one time Ilya threatens a bunch of ten-year-olds)

Summary
"I can help you, you know?", Shane says, although he's already sitting on one of the highchairs at their kitchen isle.
"Ah no, you will do nothing. I want to make disgusting smoothie for you to enjoy on the morning of our wedding day. You just sit and look pretty," Ilya counters seriously as he starts cutting up some kale. Usually Shane would quip something back, but he feels a grin form on his face at the reminder that today was, in fact, his wedding day. So instead he just says: "I love you."
Ilya looks up at him with a smile. "I love you, too," before going back to slicing greens.
Shane puts an elbow on the surface of the isle and rests his chin in his hand as he watches his fiance prepare his favorite smoothie, a fond smile never leaving his face.
"We're getting married in a few hours," he says in awe.
"Yes, I know. That is what 'wedding day' means, no?", Ilya retorts and Shane huffs a laugh. "Shut up," he says half heartedly and Ilya responds with a grin.

Summary
“This is very romantic,” Shane said, taking it all in again.
Ilya shrugged, “We’ve never been in the same city on this day before,” he said it like he would have planned something the previous years if they had been.
“I can’t imagine twenty-three-year-old Rozanov doing this for me."
“No. Definitely not. I might have made you come twice though, as a treat,” Ilya’s lips tipped into that roguish, crooked grin of his.

Or: On-ice fights, candlelit surprises, midnight confessions, Shane is treated to a night he won’t forget.
