    Summary

    Everything starts with a post. A Reddit post.

    Lately, Shane has been down a rabbit hole called ‘Smosh’, specifically a section where they read Reddit stories.

    Ever since he discovered this podcast, it has become his obsession and slowly turned into part of his night routine to the point that he will get his earphones and watch/listen to one of their videos while doing his skincare routine.

    So, imagine his surprise when Shayne, the presenter, reads aloud a story that sounds pretty much like his and Ilya’s situation?

    Summary

    “Ilya Rozanov,” Shane repeats slowly, letting himself taste the words. He grins. “Wow. You’re, like, a really good player. How come you’re in Canada for summer camp? Is that weird to ask? Sorry if that’s weird. I just meant-”

    Shane is cut off by a hand on his mouth. He flushes.

    “Too fast,” Ilya says. “My English… not good.”

    “Sorry,” Shane mumbles into Ilya’s hand. Ilya grins and shakes his head, curls dancing, as he pulls his hand away.

    “Is okay. Slow words. Okay?”

    This year marks thirteen year Shane Hollander's third summer at Coach Marakov's elite hockey training camp. In attendance for the first time: Ilya Rozanov, visiting from Russia. Shane isn't the most sociable, and Ilya's English isn't the greatest, yet the unlikely duo soon become the best of friends.

    It's just one summer, but it makes a world of difference.

    Summary

    “Are you going to spend it with Ellis?”

    “I was.”

    “She cancelled?”

    “I’ll cancel. Toss me my phone?”

    “What? No”, Dennis gapes. “I mean, why?”

    “I’m being shitty at you, and you’re not even doing anything.”

    He frowns and goes get her phone. She takes it and starts typing. 

    “It’s different. She’s your partner”. And a woman,  he doesn’t say. 

    “You’re my friend.” Her phone receives a text and she types faster, frowning.

    “Trin, please—”, she holds a finger up, asking him to be quiet. He gapes, offended, but shuts his mouth.

    She types and types, and slowly forgets about tears. Instead, a smile grows wider and wider. Dennis doesn’t know if he should be relieved or scared.

    “So,” she says, after sending one last text and putting her phone away. “I have a proposition”.

     

    Or,

     

    When Trinity's heat is around the corner, Dennis is sure he'll spend the next week sleeping in the streets. Instead, she finds him a roommate.

    Summary

    Inspired by the ‘time travel revenge’ manwha trope, this story begins several years after the Dance. The former queen, Alicent, sits in confinement and full of regret, waiting for death. That is until she’s given a chance to go back in time to the year she married King Viserys and do it all over. With every intention of changing her fate, she might well be doomed to repeat the same mistakes as she is impeded at every turn by a familiar face who has received their own second chance.
