Summary
Ron maybe accidentally-on-purpose becomes a dark wizard, and everything changes.
(a canon rewrite, with a bit of a twist)
(also this is not a 'Ron is Evil, actually' fic so if that's what you're expecting, maybe give this a skip) -

Summary
Look, Kakashi's got a lot on his plate, alright? He doesn't need a new genin team on top of everything else--normal jounin duties, catching up on his reading, tending to the ninken, and whatever-it-is that's going on with Gai--but he doesn't really have a choice. He's going to whip these brats into shape, if only out of spite.

Zagreus gets the idea stuck in his head that he should try street racing. Naturally, Achilles is the person in charge of teaching him--if only his life would stop falling apart for a few spare minutes. He's running on empty and spinning his wheels; luckily, Zagreus feels compelled to stick his nose into any romantic quandary he comes across, no matter how helpful he isn't.

Summary
“Maybe you don't have to-”
“Uh-uh. No backtracking now.” Hayden pointed a finger at him. “If you tell Shane, fantastic. Would love that, quite frankly, but until you do, I want those goddamn pictures, Rozanov. Am I clear?” Ilya wanted to make some quip about Pike trying to get a different kind of picture out of him, but given the circumstances... He just nodded. “Good. My kids tragically love the fuck out of you, so figure this out.” Ilya nodded again. “Alright then.”
Silence followed. Ilya eventually got up, and Hayden awkwardly walked him to the door.
“Ilya,” he said, surprising him with the first name. “I know what I say doesn’t particularly matter, and I am mainly just a fail-safe for this situation, but…” He opened the front door and clicked his tongue. “For what it’s worth, you’re a good guy and don’t deserve the shit your brain apparently puts you through.”
"I'm a married man, Pike."
Or
Ilya’s depression shifts into some self-harming tendencies, despite how well he can justify most of it. An unexpected cavalry comes together.
(AKA I found a story filled with sex and decided to hone in on my other favorite things: mental health and complex family dynamics)

Summary
Ilya Rozanov returns from the 2017 All Stars different from how he left for them.
Then his father dies, and he takes the call in their locker room after a game, and Cliff Marleau sees more than people think.
And then Shane Hollander goes down, and Ilya Rozanov fucking loses it - not to the untrained eye, no, but Cliff Marleau has lived out of the locker next to this kid for the past seven years.
He’s also not a fucking idiot.
