    Summary

    Ilya knows firsthand that the world isn’t comfortable. It’s loud, bright, demanding, a harsh place in direct opposition to everything he’s recently learned about autism.

    Is it so wrong that he wants Shane to feel safe here? To carve out a space where, even if only for a few hours, he doesn’t have to grin and bear anything? He can just be?

    Or: Ilya Rozanov has a lot of good ideas. Telling his fuck buddy that he should consider getting an autism diagnosis isn’t one of them.

    Summary

    For one, singular, blissful moment, nothing is wrong when Ilya wakes up.

    And then the bubble pops.

    With something less like a pinprick and more like a gunshot.

    --

    After Ilya is outed he has to deal with being the only openly queer player in the league, being Russian, and being in love with Hollander even after he ran away all at once. It sucks. He does it anyway.

    Summary

    The bartender adds a lime to his drink, and passes it over the bar-top. "What do you think?"

    Shane obediently takes a sip. "Oh," he says. "Yeah, that's great. What is it?"

    "Vodka, ginger beer, and lime." The bartender starts polishing a glass. "Called a Moscow Mule."

    Shane almost chokes. The Russian asshole can't even let him order a drink in peace.

    Shane walks away and leaves Ilya with a belly-button full of jizz, half a tuna melt, and a broken heart
    Instead of going to a bar and meeting Rose Landry...what if he goes home with the bartender?

    Summary

    “It’s Rozanov, they’re bringing on Rozanov,” he said in a rush.
    For a long moment, Shane couldn’t hear or process anything. The world had narrowed then expanded too fast, like he was falling. At some point Hayden started talking again, but he couldn’t understand him. There was only the darkness overhead and the ringing in his ears.
    “Shane? Shane, you still there?”
    The words filtered through slow and muddy, echoing. Shane’s mouth was dry, his tongue thick, but he managed, “Yeah. I’m here.”
    “Okay. You’re not gonna have a panic attack, right? Cause that would be bad probably, for your head I mean, and I just think—”
    Shane stopped listening again.
    Rozanov was coming to Montreal. He’d be in the same locker room, skating on the same ice, living in the same fucking city.

     

    Three years after Shane broke it off (not that there was anything to break off), he gets a concussion and the Metros bring in Ilya to fill in for him. A breakup and makeup fic inspired by Jane Austen's Persuasion.

    Summary

    It was, quite possibly, the worst thing that had ever happened to Shane.

    Two lines stared up at him from the pregnancy test. And the other pregnancy test, too. And the fancy test that actually spelled out the word pregnant. 

    Ilya fucking Rozanov had knocked him. 
    ...

    Or: Shane deals with an unexpected pregnancy at a time in his career when this just cannot be happening.

    Summary

    James snorts. “I’d rather be murdered by a serial killer than have feelings for one.”

    “He’s killed people?”

    James doesn’t really know, to be honest. The Black family is a high-rolling crime syndicate at this point, shoddily disguised as a media conglomerate. He's not sure how much of a role Regulus plays since he’s still in university, but as soon as he graduates, he’ll take his rightful place in that den of vipers.

    And one day, he will own it.

    “The simplest answer is no," he sighs.

    ***

    Nothing brings people together more viscerally than mutual hatred. Regulus Black would know.

    Or the fic in which Regulus Black, after two years of estrangement from one meddlesome Sirius Black, agrees to accompany his brother and his brother’s horrible friends on a one-week vacation at a cabin in rural Norway, all in the glorious name of hatred (or is it love?).

    Summary

    It was "Witch Weekly", of all people and organizations, the first to notice and comment on The Boy Who Lived’s absence from the ranks of first years at Hogwarts. The magazine went on to elucubrate that the young hero was studying at a foreign school, possibly Beauxbatons or Holzschuhkäse.
