    Summary

    LeClaire’s hand is still on his shoulder, and Ilya knows that it doesn’t look like anything. A coach speaking to one of his players. LeClaire’s heat seeps through his suit jacket, and his breath is a warm, damp wash of air against Ilya’s ear.

    “They’ve finished up with the awards,” he murmurs. “You look like you’re ready to get out of here.”

    Ilya nods tightly and sets his drink down on the table.

    OR:

    Gregori Rozanov was bad in many ways, but Coach LeClaire might have him beat.

    Shane Hollander has something to say about that. It turns out a lot of people do.

    Summary

    The man in front of him pulls Jinu forward and whispers into his ear.

    “I’ve been dreaming of the day I get one of you in my lab for years. And with a pretty little songbird like you? Just imagine all the fun we can have.” The man leans back, studying Jinu’s face with a look that made him feel like an animal in a zoo.

    “Look at those patterns,” he breathes, trailing a thumb under Jinu’s eye and down his cheek. “Beautiful.”

    Jinu feels nausea crawl up his throat and tries to jerk out of the hold the hunter has on him, but it’s a little hard to control his movements at the moment and the hand is painfully tight. Panicking, he tries to teleport away, but nothing happens.
    -
    AU of KPDH where instead of just Huntrix, there's a whole organization of demon hunters. Demons don't actually die when they're killed, they just get sent back to the underworld. Upon realizing this, the hunters begin to capture demons to experiment with ways to kill them for good. Jinu gets to learn first-hand what this entails.

    Summary

    „Minyard! Get your ass up and put some armor on! Abby, Greene, get the infirmary in shape, border control just spotted a motherfucking Drakon in the woods!“

    As if Wymack’s order triggered it, a ear grating screech echoes all the way to the big house.

    The camp counselor curses.

    „Move it people, there are half-bloods out there that need to get to safety!“

     

    Or, for two and a half years, Aaron has been grieving the brother he buried, only to learn now, that Andrew is very much alive. He also has a scarred little shithead in tow, that Aaron wants to punch in the face regularily. Life is fun like that.

    Summary

    A Rozanov like Grigori or Alexei commands attention. Inspires respect. Shows competency and strength in the face of adversity. Doesn’t shy away from agressivity or ambition or ruthlessness.
    On the ice, Ilya manages to attain that ideal. Off it, not so much.
    “Но тут я слышу о скандале в Америке,” (“But then, I hear about a scandal in America,”) continues Grigori in a measured tone. Deliberately casual. “О вас.” (“About you.”)
    Ilya juts his chin stubbornly, holding his head as high as his father’s. He can’t show shame. He can’t broadcast such weakness when it’s exactly what Grigori expects of him. But no matter how hard Ilya tries, the man smells it like a shark smells blood, and his teeth always find their mark.

    ***

    Ilya gets caught in a twisted relationship with one of the Boston Raiders' assistant coaches right after immigrating from Russia at 18 years old. This delays, complicates and somehow simplifies his future relationship with Shane Hollander.

    Summary

    Jean does not know when the mark shows up for certain. What he knows is that during his freshman year in between the first horrible night and the next, the words JEAN MOREAU? JEREMY KNOX. show up on the back of his neck where only the others could see. Thirty minutes later, everyone knew.

    “Yes?” Jean Moreau’s voice is hoarse, tinny through the phone, and his accent shortens the reply by a half-syllable, but it doesn’t matter. Because he is an idiot, Jeremy’s heart swoops into his stomach. Again. Like every other time he hears the word. He takes an embarrassingly long moment to collect himself, breathing out through his nose and ignoring the phantom tingling on the inside of his left thigh. It’s not happening.
    __

    Or: the first words your soulmate ever says to you are inked somewhere on your body, if you're lucky. Against sense, this does not make things easier for Jean Moreau and Jeremy Knox.

    Summary

    In Vegas, after they’d said everything right up to the edge of I love you, Shane and Ilya came up with a plan. It was long term, with many, many steps. There might be a spreadsheet somewhere that Shane won’t admit to.

    But it’s a plan, nonetheless. Over the summer of 2014, they tweak it and add things important to the both of them. There are even many, extensive, contingency plans.

    OR

    Thanks to Shane's small lie the first time they hooked up, Shane and Ilya are together years earlier. Now, they have to figure out what to do about it.

    "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

    “This is not a negotiation.” Deirta Thelyss’s voice cracked the air like a thunderclap, sharp enough that even her ever-bustling flock of attendants twitched. “You will agree to this marriage, or I will have you cast from Den Thelyss for dereliction of duty. Is that clear?”

    Essek held himself stiffly, his shoulders rising in affront. A dangerous lapse of control, considering the woman standing before him, and one he would berate himself for later in the privacy of his tower, but he couldn’t help it. To be bartered off as—as a diplomatic representative of all things. It was absurd, insulting. Was the prestige his accomplishments brought to the den not enough? The Bright Queen herself had awarded him the title of Shadowhand for the advancements he’d made to the field of dunamancy, advancements that had secured countless victories in the war. Why should he have to upend his entire life to accommodate some human he’d never even met?

    Summary

    Sometimes life came at you with a clenched fist and Ilya had never figured out how to duck.

    So here he was, twenty-eight years old, single, dealing with the fallout from injuries given to him by the game he loved, and the second youngest assistant coach in the league to one of the worst teams. Stability was hard to come by, but he was managing.

    Summary

    “I feel really good about this kid, I think he could be great on your wing, he just needs some help settling in. Someone to show him the ropes.”

    “Yes.”

    The line went silent for a moment. Ilya wasn’t really sure why his coach felt the need to run this by him.

    “Rozanov,” his coach said at last. “I want him to live with you.”

    Ilya blinked, then nearly shouted into the phone. “What?”

    He thinks the thing that his father hated more than he did Ilya was his inability to control him.

    But even as the colossal fuck-up that his father saw him as—he was brilliant at hockey. The best that his coaches had ever seen. He thinks it is the only semi-reedamable quality that his father sees in him. But even that had not made Grigori Rozanov want to look at him.

    Summary

    He wanted to take it back instantly. Wanted to swallow his name down, down, down, shove it back into his heart where he’s been hiding it for - god - years. He wanted to go back in time a few seconds, to just before the moment when he ruined it all. He’d call him Hollander, instead. He’d whisper something sweet in Russian so Shane would never know - so Ilya could speak his feelings into existence without Shane hearing them.

    He’d do anything at all to fix it.

    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.

    For one, singular, blissful moment, nothing is wrong when Ilya wakes up.

    And then the bubble pops.

    With something less like a pinprick and more like a gunshot.

    --

    After Ilya is outed he has to deal with being the only openly queer player in the league, being Russian, and being in love with Hollander even after he ran away all at once. It sucks. He does it anyway.
