    Summary

    “Say something.” Ilya asks “in Russian. For me.”

    Then softly, carefully, he does. “Я всё ещё скучный.“ I’m still boring. He tried to add humour to it. But he doesn’t know if it reached.

    Still, Ilya's breath catches.“Oh.” He says like he’s just been handed something precious. “You’re perfect.”

    Or, Shane had been learning Russian the whole time.

    Chapter 2/4 This is an amazing premise that I would love to see rounded out. Hayden's characterization is beautiful (along with the main ship lol).

    Summary

    Shane and Ilya just want to tell the world about their relationship, on their own terms. If only anyone would actually believe them.

    Or: the closet is reinforced steel, apparently.

    "I think we tried too hard," Ilya says from the opposite end of the couch, probably scrolling through the same articles as Shane. "Was easier to keep secret than we thought. I could have kissed you on center ice, and everyone would say aww, I love their…what is word again?"

    "Bromance?"

    "Yes. That."

    How to Build a Legacy by

    Summary

    Shane knows the plan to wait to come out until they retire isn't ideal, but he doesn't have a better one. He thinks that he and Ilya can make it work, until his mom points out how long they will have to live their lives in the shadows.

    But once he realizes that, he immediately knows that he can't come out. It would ruin his legacy.

    He's pretty sure that's why he doesn't want to come out. No other reason. Right?

    He is sure that's all it is until Ilya asks him if he would be safe if he came out. And he can't answer.

    -------

    or Yuna does the math on the retirement plan and when she points this out it opens Shane's eyes.

    -------

    also known as this author had (1) idea for a scene and had to reverse engineer a multi-chapter fic to make it happen.

    Summary

    Ilya never meant for this to get so far. So big.

    It had started off with a couple hate tweets here and there. Nothing unusual, every hockey player had haters, especially ones as prominent and talented as him and Hollander.

    Ilya never listened to what people on the Internet said. Why should he care what random people behind a screen thought of him? Especially when they were Scott Hunter fans. Or worse, Pike fans.

    He thought it was the same for Shane, who barely ever used social media in the first place, let alone look up his name on them to see what people were saying about him. But Ilya was wrong.

    or

    Ilya creates a secret Shane Hollander fan account to defend his boyfriend's honor while still hating on Scott Hunter and destroying Hayden Pike
