    Summary

    What begins as a sweet nickname quickly becomes a Russian language crisis involving affectionate suffixes, grammatical gender, tomato-based endearments, and an increasingly alarmed Shane trying to figure out the rules before Ilya can invent three more.

    Summary

    It's Shane Hollander's first season in Ottawa, and the whole Centaurs roster is playing better than they ever have. So why won't the press focus on that? Why do he and Ilya keep having to answer questions about their marriage, and not get to talk about the incredible start to the season that their team is having? Maybe if they do one podcast, with hosts who are normal people, they can just tell their whole story and focus on bringing the Stanley Cup to Ottawa.

    ---

    or, Shane and Ilya do a sports podcast run by lesbians for members of the LGBTQ+ community, and the internet reacts.

    quote (I Laugh Like Me Again, by theki11erandthefina1gir1)

    marie watches hockey ♊️ 🦫 @cens_hope_eternal

    My personal fave has always been the Rolex ads with the suits and the dress shirts with the slut button unbuttoned

    Brienne🦄🔮💜💖💙 @hollanovunicorn

    Girl wtf is the slut button

    marie watches hockey ♊️ 🦫 @cens_hope_eternal

    Um it’s what it sounds like? There’s the collar button, then the collarbone button, then the tie button, then the “i can kind of see your chest hair” button. Then the slut button.

    Summary

    Rozanov made a dismissive noise. “No, no, I will pick you up. Send me your address.”

    “I’m not giving you my home address.”

    “Why not!”

    “Because you’ll probably post it on social media to psych me out before our next game.”

    That made Rozanov laugh. “It is good idea,” he said. Stopped laughing. Started again. Blew out a breath like he had to get himself together. “I might do this to you,” he allowed, “but you have nice boyfriend living with you now. I would not do this to him. You are safe.”

     

    In which Ilya Rozanov adopts himself into Scott and Kip's household and refuses to leave. Kip finds this very sweet. Scott is going to kill him.

    Summary

    Yuna getting stuck in an elevator with Ilya for two hours doesn't change everything... but it changes some things. Like Yuna getting to be on a first-name basis with Ilya a full year before her son is.

    (Part 2 (the smutty part) is not actually essential reading if you are not in the mood for smut!)

    summaries (total words: 267,759) (It starts in an elevator, by Sporkess)

    the best person to be stuck in an elevator (Words: 7,298)
    There's no good way to be stuck in an elevator. Not when you're stuck in an elevator with someone who treats being annoying as an art form he wants to perfect, and definitely not when that person is your son's rival who you've hated for years.

    But, when Yuna finds herself stuck in an elevator with Ilya Rozanov, she realises there's more to the story than she'd seen.


    do you want to stick with me? (Words: 3,274)
    Ilya is two hours late to meet Shane and now has to make it up to him. Shane doesn't always have the words to explain what he needs, but fortunately Ilya has learned his body enough to figure it out and give it to him anyway.


    message failed to send (Words: 204)
    The text exchange between Jane and Lily on the night Ilya got stuck in the elevator (just an extremely tiny sequel).


    come home by inches (Words: 29,613)
    An unexpected encounter with Ilya Rozanov - and a newly changed perspective of him - leads Yuna into a series of conversations with both halves of the rivalry - and slowly into both an unexpected friendship and a new understanding of what the 'rivalry' entails.

    Or: (5 times Yuna reached out to Ilya, +1 time he reached out to her first; 5 times Yuna tried to get Shane to talk to her, +1 time she didn't need to.)


    the best laid plans (Words: 96,337)
    When Ilya and Shane decide they want a plan to let them soften the rivalry and (maybe, eventually) come out without it being an NHL emergency, they ask Yuna for help. Yuna's got a 6 stage plan and it is absolutely, definitely going to work.


    next question (Words: 5,001)
    An extra from the previous instalment in the series (the best laid plans) - llya's interview with the Department of Player Safety.


    glass closets and thrown stones (Words: 126,033)
    Shane and Ilya sign with Ottawa on July 1st 2018. It goes startlingly well (apart from all the bits that don't).

    Summary

    “He was such a prodigy,” Scott said while they lay tangled in bed, watching highlight reels. Kip never expected to spend nights watching hockey, but then again, he never expected to be dating a secret multi-millionaire in a Manhattan penthouse either.

    “Was?” Kip asked. “He looks pretty talented to me.”

    “I mean, he’s still fucking amazing,” Scott’s eyes never left the screen as number 24 snuck a puck through the legs of the goalie and the announcer rattled off a list of stats. “But a bit off his game since he missed the Olympics.”

    Or: It's the playoffs, and Shane and Scott Hunter are going head-to-head. Meanwhile, Ilya's past comes back to haunt him.
