    Summary

    The hockey world is shocked when #1 draft pick Ilya Rozanov backs out of the NHL last second and opts to play for the KHL in his home country. Nobody knows why, and he leaves North America without comment. So Shane does what any kid with a crush did in 2010.

    He emails him. 

    Or; the Hollanov epistolary email fic

    Summary

    Troy Barrett was not the person Wyatt would have chosen to be paired up with for the day, but unfortunately this was something the players didn’t actually get much say in. Tickets for the annual Toronto Guardians Charity Golf Tournament were incredibly expensive and the front office wanted to ensure the generous donors got their money’s worth. They’d been very careful to make sure no one got stuck with two nobodies while someone else got to spend the day with two All-Stars.

    Which meant Barrett had been separated from his buddy, Dallas Kent, and assigned to the task of raising Wyatt’s profile.

    Summary

    “Careful, Barrett,” Ilya hums, summoning all the composure he can muster. He thinks about things that hurt, like Hollander selling his sex condo and changing his phone number. “If I didn’t know better, I’d think you are flirting with me.”

    Barrett doesn’t confirm the allegation, but he doesn’t deny it, either. Instead, he eases himself down onto the bench beside Ilya, not bothering to move his knee when it brushes against Ilya’s thigh.

    “If I didn’t know better, I’d think you like it.”

    Or: Ilya knows that smoking is a bad habit. But, so is being attracted to his teammate, and this summer, there’s no one around to tell him no.

    Summary

    He'd watched the big dogs at the facility do this and understood in some wordless way that weight was the point, pressure was the point, the body saying I am here and I am not going anywhere

    But thirty pounds was what he had, so he used all of it.

    Troy's hands found his ears. His belly. The thick fur at the back of his neck.

    Chiron held still. It was so hard to do correctly, but he remained as still the best he could, like Hannah had been trying to teach him: weight distributed, head up, all of his attention on one person. 

    From across the desk he probably looked like a dog enjoying a cuddle.

    He was not enjoying a cuddle. He was working.

     

    Five times Chiron did his job in silence, and one time someone noticed

    Summary

    Troy Barrett has always been sensitive, it's something his father tried and failed to beat out of him. It was engrained into his very bones, but he'd learnt to push it down to only crack once alone. He laughed with the jokes, joined Dallas's name calling, or starting fights, and trained hard.

    He'd done everything he could to keep his job stable in his team. And he'd been traded, to fucking Ottawa after making the dumb decision to tell Coach that Dallas was being weird. He could have handled it, but he had to go and tell.

    Ilya Rozanov was an arsehole, but a carefully curated one. He didn't act like Barrett did, he was careful, and now said arsehole was going to be part of their team.

    Or
    Troy gets traded to Ottawa sooner than cannon, and I just give Troy a million and one of my health issues, and we pretend he'd be clear to play and drive with these.
