Title: The wings you give me

Artist: @heatry24

Author: @JetTheRooster

Fic Summary: Shane and Ravi meet when they are too little to foresee the consequences of this chance encounter. A human boy, bright and curious, but too socially awkward to fit in well. A fae child, full of magic, but with wings so weak his own father considers him a disgrace to his folk.

Title: a different way to be

Artist: @pinenora317

Author: @bartbarthelme

Fic Summary: Shane is juggling the emotions of his family's store, Hollander's Hockey, being put out of business by a Russian sports superstore owned by the Rozanovs while also possibly falling for Ilya and the flirtatious "Roz" he has met online who shares his love of the Centaurs and spreadsheets.

Snippet: Developing a crush on some guy from Reddit was not on Shane’s to-do list. Hell, Shane’s opinion of most people on Reddit is so low he didn’t even start actively participating in /rottawacentaurs until last year, drawn out of his lurking by a comment that made him actually laugh out loud.

“major for little back tap? blyat. in russia we call flirting he should be honored.”

Stubborn schedules has kept them apart for far too long, and now Shane is back early, unannounced, waiting for Ilya to return home after a Centaur’s home game.

Posting Date: September 4, 2026 Title: Little Lily Artist: @aaliyahsparrow Author: @kittleimp Fic Summary: Shane isn't ready for Ilya to retire. He isn't ready for his life to change again. He's definitely not ready for a baby. But then again, is anyone ever really ready? They'll just have to do this like they do everything else: together. Snippet: It's been a slow, quiet Christmas Eve. They’ll drive over to celebrate with Shane’s parents in the morning, but tonight is just for them. And they've made damn good use of their alone time. It's an especially sweet treat since they just spent nearly two weeks on the road.

Ilya slides back into bed next to Shane a moment later, having saved their sheets from becoming a mess, and tugs the blankets up over their bare bodies. There’s something warm and soft about the moment that lulls Shane into a sense of security he rarely feels.

Maybe that's why Shane doesn't expect what comes next.

The break wouldn't be able to catch up with him, not at the pace he is ripping. He'd do it. He'd make it. He was hearing her, far beyond the mirror of the lake, warbled lullabies calling him to bed. Another push and he was gliding ahead of a floe flipping behind him. The blood pumped red hot in his ears, heart beating in his throat. He couldn't fail. He wouldn't falter. He-

Posting Date: September 3, 2026 Title: New York State of Mind Artist: @aaliyahsparrow Author: @girlwonder-writes Fic Summary: A special trip for a special birthday. Shane and Ilya take their daughter Valentina to her favourite city in the world. Snippet: Valentina hugged every person that came in, making sure she greeted every person. And when everyone was sitting down and had ordered their food, the petite blonde stood at front of the room to speak.

"Hi, everyone!"

A chorus of hellos and his greeted her back, making Valentina grin wider.

"I'm so excited to see everyone. Some of you, I don't get to see super often..." Her eyes immediately traveled to her Grandma Laura, Grandpa Ivan and her uncles before they traveled to the other tables. "And some of you, I see a lot more."

Catching her Papa's bright smile and her Dad's nod of approval, Valentina went on. "There are even members of this big family who couldn't make it here. I honestly didn't expect anyone to be here except for Dad and Papa. I thought we were going to have a quiet trip, just the three of us. But I want to just say thank you. You guys are the best family a girl could have. My Dads always said that 13 was a lucky number because I was born on February 13th and I had no reason not to believe that. But the real reason I'm lucky is because of all of you."
