    adjective.
    Being morally degraded or tainted.

     

    Lamb brings an unfamiliar God into Paradise. Unsurprisingly, Narinder is more than distrusting of the one who calls themselves ‘The Goat’

    Alternatively, Narinder is trying to find out who exactly the Goat is and where they came from. All the while figuring out his feelings towards the Lamb.

    Summary

    “Um, hello.” Rocky lifts a hand slowly. The rock spider chitters and attempts to lift one back. But it’s tangled in wire, and the force that the alien uses to tug it free sends his body reeling backwards and thumping against the side of the tunnel. Rocky tries to keep a straight face.

    “I’ll call you Grace,” he says. “Clearly you have plenty of it.”

    ...

    Rocky wakes up in the Tau Ceti system, with his commander and science specialist dead. How's he supposed to save Earth?

    Befriend the alien scientist he runs into, of course.

    Summary

    "Okay, so let's say that what you're saying is correct, and he is in fact making heart-eyes at Hollander. That doesn't immediately explain moving to Ottawa for him, does it?" Troy asked, looking genuinely interested in Wyatt's theory.

    "We know Ilya, don't we? When that guy likes something then he is absolutely gone for it; look at how he treats Chiron. Just imagine. He develops a crush on Shane Hollander and then decides to do anything possible to get together with him. Even if it means moving across countries and joining a shit team.

    "You know… I'd be willing to see it." Bood relented. "He did start a charity with him."

    Or, the Centaurs figure out how down bad Ilya is for Shane, not realizing the feeling is mutual, and decide to try and bring them together with ridiculous plans.

    Summary

    “Is the alien…dangerous?” he asks slowly.

    “No! No, no he’s my friend, he’s - uh, well, the engineer of the Hail Mary,” says Grace. “Look, I’m just saying that - he’s gonna wake up soon, and we don’t need to tell him about how our first meeting went. We can gloss over the whole ‘tackle me to the ground and scare the daylights out of me’ thing. I won’t tell if you won’t.”

    Simon is 90% sure this is going to come back to bite him in the form of blackmail but he nods anyways, because it sure as hell sounds like Grace is implying Simon will be allowed to stay a while longer.

     

    Rocky sleeps through the absolute shitshow that is Simon and Grace’s first meeting. It’s probably for the best.
    Despite it all, it will be the start of beautiful friendship.

    Summary

    “Olly,” he said, a kind smile tugging at his lips. “You do sell calligraphy pens, right?”

    “Qifrey,” sighed Olruggio. “It’s nine in the evening. We haven't been open since five.” They haven’t seen each other in two months, either, although currently Olruggio had a difficult time remembering that.

    ***

    Olruggio and Qifrey reconnect when the latter opens a small atelier for children.

    Summary

    “Lily,” Hayden says automatically. “You know about Lily?”

    Something flickers across Rozanov’s face. His jaw twitches. “Yes, I know about Lily.” He raises his eyebrows.

    Hayden feels like a complete asshole, all of a sudden. There’s just been too much going on to even think about Shane’s mystery girlfriend. “Shit, I should probably, like, call her, or something? I don’t know this girl at all, but Shane’s been obsessed with her for years. If she was watching the game, she would have seen him get hurt.”

    “You don’t need to call her,” Rozanov says, and when Hayden glances at him, he still looks fucking miserable but now he’s rolling his eyes, a much more familiar expression of disdain on his face. “She’s sitting right here.”
    --
    Hayden Pike and Ilya Rozanov are waiting for Shane to wake up after he took a bad hit on the ice. They get to talking.

    Rocky was frantically rambling. Grace tried to translate the chirps and trills. One sound then cut through his confusion.
    Human.
    Rocky had said Human.

    Summary

    Hayden knew he shouldn’t do it. He knew snooping on someone’s phone is not cool at all, but Shane’s dry spell had really tanked their standing for the playoffs.

    And before, anytime he was off his game a little “hanging out” with his “good friend” Boston Lily seemed to fix him up. Set him straight.

    So, while Shane toweled off in the showers, Hayden might have grabbed Boston Lily’s number from his phone.

    {Or, Hayden keeps meddling in Shane's love life to his own detriment.}

    Summary

    Shane is unafraid (read: actually terrified) to say people who make out in public are disgusting. This goes for everyone, but it just so happens that he’s caught high-key judging a gay couple.

    Now everyone thinks he’s homophobic.

    Fuck his life.

    Summary

    Nothing could have prepared Brandon Wiebe for the conversation he was about to have.

    He was, for the first time in NHL history, about to have Hollander and Rozanov in the same locker room. As permanent teammates, not just a one-off marketing stunt. He didn't know if he was about to see fireworks or a massive explosion, but regardless, he was definitely sitting on a powder keg. He may have been the only coach in the entire league who was willing to take that risk. He wondered vaguely whether he was about to get burned. Or how badly.

    Or

    Coach Wiebe tries to have a discussion with his captain and his new player about their former rivalry. It doesn't go how he expects.

    Summary

    “You speak Russian?” Ilya’s voice is simultaneously incredulous and thrilled, like he can’t quite believe it, but he’s excited all the same.

    Hayden shakes his head, shrugging, still rocking Amber. “Uh, not really? I only know a few words and phrases here and there from my Deda and Baba. I understand it more than I can speak it.”

    Ilya’s eyes somehow get wider. “Deda and Baba- You have Russian grandparents? You are Russian?!”

    “I guess? Technically?”

    -

    Hayden Pike never really talks about his mom's family. Ilya finds out why and decides he simply *must* fix this.

    He is going to teach Hayden Pike how to be Russian, whether Hayden likes it or not.

    Summary

    In their first summer after being outed, Shane finally accepts that invite to Bood's backyard barbecue. It could have been a relaxing night. But Ilya's brought vodka. And the Centaurs brought questions. Might as well rip off the band aid before he signs with Ottawa.

    Or

    How many shots is it worth to know what your Captain likes in bed?

    Summary

    Ilya feels many things at the very idea of his relationship with Shane being called boring. Do not get Ilya wrong; he loves boring. Boring Shane Hollander with his weak backhand, pretty freckles, and a blush that covers his entire chest when he cries after Ilya makes him cum for a fourth time that night.

    But boring sex life? With his Jane? He settles on being mortally offended and scowls at his laughing teammates.

    Summary

    Cliff watches him squeeze the phone between his cheek and shoulder, lifting the jersey over his head as he continues to talk, a bit distracted now by the multitasking.

    “And was good practice, you know, for when I am your husband."

    Immediately, the locker room goes dead silent. And so does Rozanov, in fact.

    In which Ilya accidentally calls himself Shane's future husband in the middle of the Bears locker room. Worse still, they're not even dating yet.

    It clicks.

    The reason why Rozanov was acting so fucking weird, why he was only checking on his rival so late at night, why Rozanov didn’t want Marlow to even have a glimpse into what was behind that door.

    Holy shit.

     

     --

     

    In which a single misunderstanding spirals into becoming the MHL's greatest secret: Shane Hollander is pregnant.

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov has been drafted by Boston, the number one pick overall, but his father doesn't want him moving to America and so takes steps to block his visa. He's going to have to go back to Russia and stay there forever and that, thinks Shane Hollander, is wrong.

    It's so wrong that Shane can't stop himself from doing something about it. Even though that something is the most reckless, the only reckless thing he's ever done in his life. He marries Rozanov in secret, to keep him out of Russia and put him on a path to Canadian citizenship.

    Shane's got a five-year plan to get him there and when you have a plan nothing can go wrong. Right? Right. When you have a solid plan and a marriage that's on paper only there's no risk of feelings getting involved. Not on Rozanov's part and certainly not on Shane's.

    Right???

    Summary

    Shane begins his yoga breathing techniques again. He knew this interview wouldn't go well because Ilya is Ilya—a professional ragebaiter who can't even take the day off for an immigration interview—but he wasn't prepared for this level of Ilya.
