Summary
Gale had been raised as one of those wild, unencumbered things—suspended between alpha girl and omega boy, nobody sure just what to do with him yet. Barefoot, dirt-covered, more invested in exploring scrubby hills and empty creek-beds than in the kids around him, it hadn’t mattered until it was all that mattered.
yet another omegaverse retelling of MOTA

Summary
Shane Hollander is 18 years old and a beta when he first competes at World Juniors in Saskatchewan. Shane's only expectation is to bring home gold. Instead, Shane unexpectedly presents as an omega during the gold medal game against Russia. Luckily, his rival Ilya Rozanov is there to help Shane, which is a good thing because Shane knows nothing about being an omega. Rozanov kindly offers to extend his stay to help Shane through his first heat.
Only months later, Shane discovers that he came home with a whole lot more than a silver medal and an unwanted new designation. Somehow he's carrying the baby of a man who lives on the other side of the world. A man who never offered his phone number and doesn't have any social media to speak of.
Somehow Shane is going to have to find a way to explain why he's suddenly pulling out of the 2009 draft, come to terms with giving up hockey and caring for a baby completely alone. All while desperately wishing he could share the joys of first smiles and the stress of sleepless nights with the alpha he's never quite been able to forget.
Or
Shane gets pregnant the first time they meet, but doesn't find out until Ilya is back in Russia with no way to contact him.

“Why are you out here alone?” Ilya asks. “Who left you here?”
Hesitantly, Shane’s eyes cast up at the apartment building. Ilya follows his gaze, confused.
“I’m sorry,” Shane says softly, “I went home with someone.”
Ilya’s head snaps in his direction. “What?”

Summary
There’s a rumor going around the base. It’s an innocent one, it’s one that’s been following him for a while now. It never fails to make the guys laugh and the dames snicker behind their palms. It’s a rumor that, on a good day, makes him grin and shake his head bashfully and on a bad day it makes his chest ache something fierce.
