Summary
“Do you know what trans, transgender, means?”
“Yeah, vaguely,” Shane says.
Rose decides to just say it outright. Shane tends to like when she’s direct. “I kinda think you might be.”
“Might be what, transgender?”
“Yeah.”
“Um,” Shane says. Blinks. Swallows. Brows furrow, in the cute way they tend to do when he thinks too hard. “What makes you, um, think that?”
—
Ilya sends Shane into the usual sexuality crisis, but neither realize she’s actually straight. Rose figures it out, sort of.

Summary
“I’m trying. I’ve been trying.”
“Keep training. You’re a student, you’re still learning.”
Todoroki breathes out in frustration, closes his eyes, grits his teeth. “I’m incapable of hitting far away targets.”
That admission— the way he says it—stops Aizawa from attempting to pound more logic into his student’s thick skull. He is about to say something along the lines of “no you’re not” or “not with that attitude” but the expression on the boy’s face feels off.
Aizawa leans back and narrows his eyes. “Why.”
--
Aizawa digs a little deeper into Todoroki's internship with Endeavor and uncovers a lot more than he expected.

Summary
After a viral photo outs Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov while they're still busy pretending their years-long situationship is mostly just sex, the fallout gets complicated fast. The world reacts badly. Their teams react worse. Ilya's future in North America starts to look alarmingly fragile, and Shane, who has never met a disaster he didn't try to control into submission, throws himself into fixing what can still be fixed.
Ilya has spent his whole life being wanted for the wrong reasons and discarded for the right ones. Shane has spent his whole life believing that if he is careful enough, good enough, controlled enough, he can keep disaster from reaching the people he loves.
A practical solution emerges, then a house, then rings.
Somehow, by the time they say their vows, both of them are certain they are the only one who means them.

Summary
Shane is heavier than he used to be; his weight bears down on Ilya in a new way. He’s put on pounds of muscle since Ilya last touched him like this. Ilya flattens his palms, skims them under Shane’s undershirt, feels the flat solidity of his abs, the bulk of his lats, the swell of his chest. It’s the same and it’s new, this body; it’s the boy he couldn’t stop thinking about when he was 18 and the man he loved enough to let go at 26 and the person who somehow always comes to find him when he’s lost.
A stranger, and the love of his life.
—
or, Ilya's father doesn't die in 2017; Ilya breaks up with Shane instead of confessing his love. They get older, but not any less stupid about each other. Shane gets a boyfriend; Ilya gets on medication; they work on becoming whole people. And they always find their way back to each other.
OR a story for those who love Shane and Ilya's baby love but ALSO think it's hot when people in their thirties make active choices about who they are and what they want in their partner!!
Note: the "cheating" tag refers to the relationship between Shane and his aforementioned BF, not to Shane and Ilya cheating on each other.

Summary
It does mean missing out on things like barbeques and team dinners sometimes, but it’s not as if he would have been able to participate anyway. At this point in his life, risking someone not taking his allergies seriously would mean potentially missing games, which makes it unacceptable. Jackie always makes sure he has a dish or two that’s safe when he’s over at their house, but if he was going to be the one guy sitting and drinking ginger ale instead of taking part in sharing nachos or Korean barbeque or burgers or any other delicious thing he goes in knowing he can’t have anyway, there’s no point in making a fuss about it. He eats at home, has a drink with everyone else, and he calls it a day. Easy. Safe. Foolproof.
But also the reason it doesn’t occur to him that he hasn’t actually told Ilya about any of his allergies until it becomes immediately relevant five days into being at his cottage together.
(how ilya learns about shane's food allergies) (and how shane learns what it's like to have someone who always saves him a seat at the table) (and who also makes sure there's food he can eat on the table to start with)

Summary
Scott can’t stand Ilya Rozanov. Sure, Rozanov is a generational wunderkind, but he’s also annoying as hell and always ready with a chirp.
“Do you have a spot in the nursing home yet, Hunter? I am hearing from my grandma they go fast!”
“Are you getting tired? It must be past your bedtime already!”
“What kind of skating is that? Is your arthritis acting up again?”
Scott’s age is Rozanov’s favorite topic, but now that Scott has come out, he shudders to think about what Rozanov will throw at him this season.
Or, 5 times Rozanov makes fun of Scott for being old, and 1 time he makes fun of Scott for being gay.

'The league loves nothing more than putting these two kids in each other's faces.'
Or, the one time Shane tries to be funny and spends the next half-decade suffering (enjoying) the consequences.
