Summary
Neil was eleven the first time Aaron saw him steal cough medicine.
Not from a pharmacy. Not from a store.
From a church donation bin behind a food pantry in San Jose, California.
The boy moved like he expected to be hit for existing.
Too thin. Too alert. Dark hair buzzed unevenly like someone had cut it in a motel bathroom. He wore a sweatshirt three sizes too large despite the heat and kept looking over his shoulder toward the road.
Aaron only noticed him because nobody else ever looked nervous in the church parking lot except addicts and social workers.
The boy spotted Aaron instantly.
Their eyes locked.
Aaron expected him to run.
Instead the stranger said, “You gonna tell?”
Aaron shrugged.
The boy stared another second, suspicious and sharp in a way thirteen-year-olds weren’t supposed to be.
“You look worse than me.”
Or: Aaron and Neil meet pre-canon.

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???
(or, the story of how Shane Hollander fell in love with his own husband)

Summary
It started again, when Billy Hargrove nearly killed him during the fight at the Byers house. The ringing in his ears, his teeth, the phones - all the phones, all the time. It’s been so long since he’d heard them again.
“Hey Finn, or should I say Stephen now,” the voice on the other end spoke. “Now just what sort of shit have you gotten yourself into this time amigo?”
Steve Harrington has always lived with ghosts. He just had to remember how to listen again first.
- Chapter Sneak Peek -
“…I don’t hate you Hargrove,” he said. “I sure as hell don’t like you, but I do not hate you.”
(Did not like Chapter 7. Will re-post later)

Summary
"Rozy," Brian, the team doctor says, "talk to me, buddy. That puck clipped you pretty good, how’s the pain?"
Ilya blinks. He clenches his jaw against a wave of nausea. He rests his cheek on the ice, and the cold helps a little.
"Bad. Very bad." He swallows. "Is Shane here?"

Summary
“I’m pregnant.”
“Pardon?”
“I’m pregnant.”
“Yeah, I heard you the first time. I was giving you the option to take it back.”
“Take it back? Why would I do that?”
“You’re not funny. Shane, genuinely please tell me what’s going on. Stop fucking around with me.”
“Hayden, there’s a bun in my oven. I’m going to be eating for two. I’ll be out of commission for nine months. What other ways can I say this? I’m not fucking around with you. This isn’t a joke. I took four tests. I’m pregnant.” Shane said without a smile on his face. There was no laughter between his words. Hayden fell silent for a minute staring wide-eyed at Shane like he had seen a ghost.
“Holy fucking shit.”
or
Shane is pregnant with Ilya’s baby. He proceeds to try to avoid Ilya while keeping the baby a secret. He’s not the best at avoiding Ilya though.
