Summary
Ilya has a severe allergy to pine nuts,
Shane is tortured to no end,
Troy and Harris try their best,
Scott’s retirement party goes awry,
And a childish game in the woods takes a turn for the worse.All will be fine... probably.
***
“Fuck.” Shane repeated aloud.
“I-I don’t feel so good,” Ilya confessed grimly, and for a moment, Shane felt like he was falling.
Helplessly, he watched as Ilya reached down to scratch various patches of his skin — softly at first, at the base of his neck, then more aggressively along the backs of his hands.

“Get the fuck away from him.”
Shane.
Everything happened at once after that.
The man holding Ilya turned too slowly.

Summary
Shane snapped.
Later, people would describe it differently.
Some called it terrifying.
Some heroic.
Some beautiful.
Shane himself remembered almost nothing except overwhelming, animal panic.
His gloves hit the ice.
Then his helmet.
Then he collided with Volkov hard enough to rip him bodily off Ilya.

Summary
No was two letters. A single syllable.
Possibly the easiest word in the English language.
And Ilya hadn’t said it.
Instead, he said, “It meant nothing, Hollander.”
ORwhat if Ilya fucked Scott Hunter and then this became emotionally devastating for everyone moving forward

Summary
Russians do not blush. Russians do not get sick. Ilya gets concussions. He gets stitches. He skates on cracked ribs and calls it fine. He does not get sick. Which is why, when he wakes up at three in the morning in the middle of June, shaking so hard his teeth knock together, his first instinct is irritation.

Summary
"We're setting you up with a billet situation," Fletcher continued. "It's pretty common for first-year players, especially international guys. Gives you a chance to settle in, learn the city, have someone looking out for you."
"Okay," Ilya said slowly, not entirely sure what a billet was, but not wanting to admit his ignorance.
He could guess from the context – he’d heard of rookies being assigned to live with older single players, veterans who could show them the ropes. Maybe that was what Fletcher meant. Connors maybe, he was probably a handful of years older than Ilya. Or perhaps Becker. Ilya just hoped it was someone who–
"You'll be staying with Nikolai Petrov and his family."
The words hit Ilya like a punch to the gut. For a moment, he forgot how to breathe.
"Petrov?" he managed, his voice coming out strangled.
__________________________________________________________________The Bears decide that Ilya should be set up with a billet for his first season. The idea of spending a year living with a man that Ilya is sure hates him is completely terrifying. And yet, it ends up being the best thing to ever happen to him.

“What is this?” he asks.
“Antihistamine. It’ll help with your symptoms, since you’re apparently allergic to Canada.”
Ilya shakes the bottle, then his head. “I do not take pills.”
“It won’t do anything but help you. This isn’t the drowsy kind.”
“I do not take pills,” Ilya says again, and tosses the bottle back to him.
OR
Ilya doesn't trust his team yet.

A tiger-shaped boy by tangledorangeweb

Summary
Hayden could not imagine someone losing that and their mother in the same day. It would age you. It would change you. Perhaps by the time Ilya had been thirteen, and fourteen, perhaps he had already been grown.
Hayden Pike grit his teeth because he knew he had been wrong. Ilya Rozanov had never just been an obnoxious hockey player with a colossal ego and nice smile - nice enough to entrap Shane Hollander, anyway - and now his hatred was mostly unfounded. He hated it when people were more complex than they seemed. It meant he had to change his mind.
Or
Five times people see the impact of Ilya growing up too fast, and one time a tiger becomes a boy again.

Summary
"And is like I said, very easy to do. You just lay back and let someone else do work. Could do it in my sleep, would not be problem at all for me to come hands-free.”
Hollander scowled, full competitive personality shining through. “Prove it.”
“Fine, I will,” Ilya snapped back.
Hollander's eyes went wide, and so did Ilya's when he realized what he had promised. His words hung in the air between them, suddenly heavy with implication.
---
Ilya doesn't think switching with Hollander one time for the sake of settling a bet will change anything about their arrangement, and it certainly wouldn't make him discover anything about himself. Afterall, it would only be one time, right?- Language:

Summary
He was going to die.
He was actually going to die.
The thought should send him into a panic. He should scream for help, cry, or do something. But instead, he just accepts it.
This was it. This was how it ended. He’d become his mother after all.

Summary
When Shane was displeased with Ilya, there was a certain intensity in his speech that called to Ilya like a siren song, dragging him to an early grave with its vehemence. His voice would pitch higher, bossy and prissy and so stridently righteous it should be intolerable.
But Ilya was, for all intents and purposes, a whore. And nothing made him harder than his husband putting him in his place.

Summary
“You are my friend, Hayden, but he is the man I am going to spend to rest of my life with - he is the man that I love. I will choose him over you, every fucking time.”
Over anything and everything, Shane would choose Ilya. Even over hockey, if it came to that. There’s no doubt in his mind, no question about it.
Losing hockey would hurt, and Shane would grieve it, but it wouldn’t kill him. It would be an ache he could live with. Losing Ilya is not something that Shane could ever survive. They’re so tangled together - so intertwined - that to lose Ilya would be to lose himself.

Summary
He’s standing across from Ilya in his kitchen. Their feet are almost touching, Ilya’s in black socks that Shane also has multiple pairs of, Shane’s in his favourite soft striped ones. The rain is getting louder outside, moving from a drizzle to a downpour. And Ilya is looking at him like he loves him.

Summary
He glances over his shoulder at Ilya, preparing to tease him for getting hard in this situation, only to find that his eyes have gone somewhat glossy, and he looks like he’s concentrating very hard on breathing steadily.
“Ilya?” Shane says. Ilya looks at him, but it’s more like an instinct, like how Anya will immediately respond to her name, and-
Oh, fuck.
Three times Ilya needed to be patient, and one time he didn't.
