Summary
Men do not cry. Ilya knows this, as much as he knows that being strong is only part of the battle ahead of him; being seen to be strong matters more. Ilya is twelve years old, and no longer a child. It has been four long, brittle days since his mother— since her accident.
The practice rink is busy, tonight. Under the stern tutelage of Coach Baranov, everyone here is fighting to justify their time on the ice. Hockey, Baranov tells them, often, is not a team sport. Hockey is an act of violence, and of endurance.
Ilya believes he is practiced at both.

Summary
Ilya’s still learning what Shane likes and needs, observing him quietly because Shane’s not so forthcoming with what he wants unless he’s certain it’s what he’s supposed to want. But it’s not until Shane reaches back and grabs Ilya’s hip to pull him closer, pressing their bodies together and taking some of Ilya’s weight, that he realises Shane’s been studying Ilya the same way.
“I’m trying to take care of you.”
“Why?” Ilya says, instead of something safer.
Shane twists over his shoulder to frown at him. “Because I want to? Because you’re tired and sad and not feeling well?”
“Oh.” Ilya pulls his bottom lip through his teeth. “But I…”
“I think maybe we both fucked up tonight?” Shane says tentatively.
“No, is not your fault.” Ilya rubs a hand over Shane’s shoulder and then kisses it, wet and soft. “You’re good.”
Shane hums like he’s not convinced. He turns and drapes his arms over Ilya’s shoulders, still pressed close. “After this, will you…”
“Yes,” Ilya says, his mind sharpening attentively, “Tell me what you need.”Or: They communicate just a little bit better and let themselves be just a little more vulnerable, both with each other and their people.

Summary
Cliff Marleau was a lot of things. A pretty decent hockey player. His mother's favorite son (her only son, but who's counting?). A testament to the saying "C's get degrees". Surprisingly talented with a pair of knitting needles. Unsurprisingly hopeless in the kitchen. A good alternate captain. A great friend.
But one thing Cliff Marleau was not was stupid.

Cliff Marleau; a little confused, but he's got the spirit

Summary
Ilya is nineteen when he moves to Boston. He’s finally out of Russia, and he loves his new team and his new city. He loves playing the Metros and watching Hollander flush red beneath his pretty freckles.
He just didn't think the Bear's coach would take such an interest in him.

Summary
An ice storm falls over Ottawa, but Ilya promised David and Yuna that he'd come over for dinner while Shane's away. When Yuna and David get the call that he's been rushed to the hospital after a car accident they scramble to get to him so he won't wake up alone in the hospital. Days of confusion, pain, and sadness ensue. Especially since Shane can't come back until after he finishes a season defining game or else the industry might catch on to his and Ilya's secret relationship.
Or...
A hurt/comfort fic where Yuna and David watch over and comfort Ilya while he's in the hospital recovering from a bad car accident.
