Summary
In his ears, Quinn faintly hears the taps of Brock's stick insistently hitting the ice. Here, here. I'm open. Here. Pass, pass, pass. Give it to me. Trust that I will get it.
Louder than it'd ever been. More insistent than ever. And Quinn ignored it every single time, even though Brock had basically been begging for Quinn to trust him.
"I'm sorry." His voice is hushed, coloured with shame. "I trust you, Fabes. Promise. I just got in my head, this game. Couldn't shake it."
New teammates and old habits.

Summary
"Ilya," Shane tries. "I'm fine in here."
"Then what is the problem?" Ilya asks, trying to keep his voice light, but Shane can hear the strain in it.
Fuck. The problem is always just... it's always Shane, isn't it? That's always the problem. He's always the fucking problem.
Shane's season-ending injury leads him to question the future, and who he is without hockey. He doesn't like the answer.

Summary
He's seen a few other guys get their bell rung. Has seen a couple of them get to their knees almost immediately; has seen them struggle to their feet, then almost wipe themselves out again. Has seen them kneeling with a dazed expression, trying to figure out where they are.
And has seen a couple of them lie there. He's been one of them before.
Swallowing down bile, he asks, "How long did I take to get up?"
Please have tried. Please, please, have been one of those guys kneeling almost immediately. Please have been moving. Please have let Ilya seen that.
A couple of years into playing on the same team together, Shane gets concussed. It's a little bit different this time.

Summary
Shane rests his head against the window. Breathes in, out. Clenches his hands into fists on his lap, then slowly uncurls them.
Nothing between his fingers now. No bedsheets, no shirt, no Ilya. No proper goodbye.
No kiss.
"Fuck," he breathes out. Fuck.
This isn't the same as all those years ago. It isn't, and he knows it. But there's a strange, hollow feeling that's starting to expand in his chest. Making his ribs feel brittle, his lungs made paper-thin.
Shane drops. It's unfortunate timing.

I'll be Jane by gurlsrool

Summary
It’s not going viral because Jane’s true identity was exposed—or even because Ilya was blatantly sexting in public. That part’s as expected as Shane doing yoga or any human being on earth breathing.
No, the texts are going viral because no one can believe how bad this “Jane” is at sexting.
The women of the world are outraged. The men of the world are baffled. No one can understand why Ilya Rozanov, whose abs have their own fan club, is wasting his time on ‘a piece of cardboard that wished to be turned into a real girl’ (this particular joke has 300k likes and counting).
Or: After a social media trend mocks Shane's sexting skills, he tries to improve them. It goes about as poorly as you'd expect.

Summary
Harris hadn’t meant to say anything. He hadn’t even realized what he’d said, honestly, until Ilya’s reaction: choking on his beer, eyes bugging out, looking more nervous than Harris had ever seen him look.
Why couldn’t he have just kept his mouth shut? He was tipsy, and probably a bit too comfortable, but still. He should have known better. He felt like the biggest asshole alive.
Hold on. Rewind. Start from the beginning.
Or:
Five times Ilya Rozanov set off Harris Drover's gaydar (and Harris said nothing), + one time Harris completely put his foot in it
(originally a one-shot, now updated to include a chapter 2/coda)

love brought weight to this heart of mine by writerbri

Summary
Shane tries to remember, peering into the darkness surrounding the car with a furrowed brow. It hurts to move, and he feels something warm and slick sliding down his cheek.
More blood, his mind supplies rather unhelpfully.
He was driving after dark, but he shouldn’t have been. He wasn’t supposed to be. They had all night together, so why is he here?
I already chose you, Hollander.
Shane inhales sharply as his mind slowly fills in the gaps in his memory. They fought. Ilya told him to leave. Shane did.
And then he crashed.

Summary
Shane really isn't looking for a relationship, which is why having Ilya around is nice. No strings attached, only great sex. It's a win all around.
The only problem is that Ilya is way, way too nice to Shane's stupid cat.

Summary
“Game is over,” he says. “You won. I lost. I was annoying. Normal.”
“That’s not—” Shane starts, then stops, because he actually doesn't know how to finish that thought without sounding like an idiot. His jaw works, teeth grinding together.
That's not what I meant. That's not the point. You said I was boring and you were right and I need you to say it again so I know where I stand, so I know what you think of me, so I can stop waiting for the other shoe to drop.
He settles for: “You were kind of an asshole.”
