  2. Summary

    I discovered Young Royals this summer and fell in love. I think the ending is perfect for the show, allowing for both closure and enough openness to be fertile ground for the fandom's imagination.

    HOWEVER. After cogitating on it for a few weeks and reading a LOT of fanfic, I realised that in order for me to buy any kind of canon compliant happy ending for Wilmon, I needed to see much more character growth, development, and conversation happening. Hence these stories. Hope you enjoy!

    Summary

    Simon has his work cut out for him when he starts his job at the brand new social media department for Bjärstad's ice hockey team. His mission: Make them go viral. His assets: A capable colleague and not one but two former NHL players newly signed to the team. The problem: Turns out hockey guys aren't exactly keen on doing silly TikTok dances.
    It's Simon's luck that Tyler Martin seems to have some sort of secret way with Wilhelm Hellberg and soon it becomes clear that those two are exactly what Simon has been looking for. As Wilhelm thaws in front of the camera, Bjärstad's fans soon fall in love with the grumpy guy with the failed NHL career. And it seems that this isn't just true for the fans...

    Summary

    The photos leak on a Wednesday. Ilya sets his life and career on fire on Sunday, mostly out of spite. On Monday, he is the first out queer player in the NHL.

    Nobody handles the ensuing circus well, least of all Scott Hunter.

    Summary

    Harris knew that Ilya Rozanov was a menace in the media when he got the social media job at the Centaurs. He knew that Ilya had virtually no filter and said whatever came to his mind, even if it was extremely inappropriate. Harris had worked for years trying to keep Ilya in line and was somewhat successful in this feat.

    It all changed when Shane Hollander signed with the Centaurs.

    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.

    Summary

    No serious hockey fan or sports commentator worth their salt would have considered record-breaking Boston superstar Ilya Rozanov to be Shane Hollander’s rival exactly, but sleeping with a man who had a specific offense-related vendetta against him and a wrist shot like a jet engine to back it up was probably ill-advised just the same.

    Or, Shane is a goalie. Ilya can’t score.
