    Summary

    Shane is traded to Boston during the hookup era, and his attempts to act normal and professional around Rozanov are a little too successful: fans start shipping him with Marleau, instead.

    Summary

    Shane wants to figure out if he's gay before he gets drafted—and no, the way he felt when Ilya Rozanov smirked at him with a cigarette between his lips in Saskatchewan has nothing to do with it. Unfortunately, the random guy he hooks up with to try and make sure one way or another takes a picture, and Shane gets outed before the draft. In the ensuing scandal, he goes seventh overall, to Ottawa.

    It turns out, having the worst thing you can think of happen to you when you're seventeen years old can end up being pretty liberating. And land you an unexpected best friend.

    Summary

    “Sweetheart, your pretty little head is so silly. For every photocard I make of ugly hockey men, I make two of my gorgeous, radiant, pulchritudinous boyfriend. Sometimes three.”

    A smile breaks through the heated haze of Shane’s expression. “You’ve been using the thesaurus Dad got you for Christmas?”

    “I will beat Yuna Hollander at Scrabble one day,” Ilya declares against Shane’s hip bone.

    In the year between the Cottage and the Centaurs, Ilya misses Shane more than ever. Svetlana’s teenage cousin offers a coping method: Kpop-style Shane Hollander photocards to stare at all day long. It's a shame carrying around pictures of fellow hockey players is just not socially acceptable.

    …At least, not yet.
     
    (AKA: Ilya's mission to desensitize the hockey world to his Hollander fanboyisms, and the NHL players that suffer for it.)

    Summary

    Sickness to Beldaruit was like an old friend. He’s lived with its presence beside him all his life. Used to recovering from it in a careful solitude, until he’s offered warmth and soup.

    “I didn’t wish to needlessly worry you.” Beldaruit sighs, “My health should not be such a concern for you. After all, you have your own student to worry about now.”

    “Not a concern for me? What, are you going to tell a child not to worry about their father?” It takes a beat for Qifrey to realize what he said, his cheeks flushing red as he looks away.

    Summary

    “Do you want more wine, too? Come on, Merlin, don’t stand around so uselessly.”

    “As opposed to sitting around uselessly?” Merlin quips, but he comes over easily to pour more wine into Leon’s goblet. He lets him, his eyes careful on Merlin to see if his eyes will glint again, the colour of fire against the midnight sky, so bright and fiery.

    But all Leon sees is blue. “Thank you, Merlin,” he mutters.

    Or: Five times someone finds out about Merlin’s magic and decides not to tell Arthur, and one time they realise that Arthur already knows everything there’s to know.
