Summary
Calliope Mondegrene has always felt like a bit of an alien among her fellow humans. A nerdy self-proclaimed loser sleepwalking through life in a Bostonian triplex, her introversion seems to be boundless, to the point where it leads her to avoid social interaction at the parties she's forced to attend--by getting really, really, high.
Too high, it turns out, when she sees--and is seen by--something beyond her understanding that, for some unfathomable reason, takes an interest in her sad little life.

Everything they Say by DistantStorm
Fandom Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid, Heated Rivalry (TV)

Summary
In which Shane's relationship with Rose unfolds the way it does on screen, but Ilya's father dies right before All-Star Weekend 2017. They have yet to reconnect, but Shane wants to find a way for them. He decides to come out to his team, starting with management, that spring. The Montreal Metros make it clear that they will not be the league's trailblazer for queer players and terminate his contract. The Admirals lose in game seven.
In June, Shane goes to Wimbledon with his parents. Instead of a Swedish princess, he meets the CEO of the Swedish Hockey League and makes the decision to leave North America. As a veteran playing for the Växjö Lakers, Shane becomes a mentor to guys trying to go pro in North America. Guys like his linemate, Derek Briggs.
Years later, Briggs makes the Ottawa Centaurs out of camp. The Centaurs' plane makes an emergency landing, Ilya still sends Shane those messages, but Shane doesn't answer.
(Or so Ilya thinks.)

It Takes a Village by veryscarrie

Summary
Kelly McCreedy has been accepted to grad school overseas, studying under a professor whose work he idolizes. Unfortunately, a gender-neutral name, a remarkably persistent clerical error and some horrific travel luck conspire to place him mere feet away from one of the world’s premier force-fem facilities - the sort of place that kidnaps awful boys and turns them into remarkable women. What can you do? It happens.
Kelly quickly learns that he knows nothing and understands even less about navigating life in England, but he does know that you can get by with a little help from your friends. It’s probably worth knowing, however, just how many of your friends are kidnappers and torturers and whether their definition of “help” aligns at all with yours.
Nobody solves all their problems on their own. It takes a village.
(Note: It's dangerous to put a story ahead of the Dorley timeline, but I'm trying to make as few assumptions as possible beyond having characters actually do some of the things they suggest they might in the current story. So far, I'm good through Chapter 47, I think.)

Comedy of “errors” leaves Canadian “cis” “boy” rooming at Dorley.

Summary
It's Fall of 2014 and Ilya Rozanov has cut all ties with Russia. But there's no such thing as a clean break, and leaving isn't as simple as never going back.
-
Basically a very self-indulgent fic about how hard it would be for Ilya to actually move on from the pain of the past and to go no contact with his family in a timeline where Grigori is still alive. Also, Ilya deserves to be known and loved by more people than just Shane and Sveta. Forced/Found Family here we come.
*Sequel to my canon-divergence fic "To only ever know the cold" (go read that first or this won't make sense!)Series
