“Yeah?”
“Yes.”
“Okay.”

Summary
There’s a familiar burn at the back of his throat, the need for another drink, always another drink, and Husk might just follow the call. It’ll make it easier to sleep if everything is fuzzy and blurry. If all his thoughts are muddled and nebulous. They won’t be able to all circle around Angel like fucking vultures.
“Hey! What the fuck are you doing in my—oh.”
Husk whips his head around and has to blink a couple of times to make sure he’s not actually that fucking drunk. He drops the glass onto the plush carpet beneath his feet. “Angel?”
(or Angel comes back right away)

Summary
“But you want me to come, don’t you?” Shane asks. When Ilya just responds with a coy smile, Shane’s hands come up to grip his wrists, but they don’t pull Ilya’s hands away from his face. It’s a good thing, because Ilya is starting to feel the warmth of the blush taking root beneath Shane’s gorgeous freckled cheeks. “I’m not going to break the rules like that, Ilya.”
“I still didn’t ask,” Ilya’s grin widens.
Shane’s face morphs into his adorable scowl, and it’s officially too much. After all, underneath the makeup and outfits, Ilya is just a man. And there comes a time for every man to reach his breaking point. The way Shane’s freckles bunch up, the way his eyes flick back and forth as he thinks of a way to argue against the thing he wants most in the world. Ilya cannot help it.

He was a boy (male model on the Pit Crew) she was a girl (diabolical Russian drag queen) can I make it any more obvious?

Summary
Shane’s brain cycled rapidly through a half-dozen celebrities, porn actors, Grindr profiles, every attractive bartender who’d ever served him a beer, trying to find a comparison for this level of outrageously concentrated beauty in one person, but he was drawing a blank.
The man—Ilya Rozanov, Facilities Attendant, his badge read—gestured around the supply closet. “I help you find something?”

Canon-divergent AU set during the 2017-18 MLH season. Shane Hollander doesn’t have a single Cup to his name when he meets a very hot and very annoying janitor who works at the Metros stadium.- Language:

Summary
Scent patches were mandatory for anyone participating in World Junior's, but a lot of the Russian guys Shane saw in the hotel or around the rink had them loosely attached to their necks or not quite centered over their scent gland. Shane had been on his way to his parents' car when the wind shifted, and he smelled that Rozanov, leaning against the wall and not-at-all-surreptitiously fishing a carton of cigarettes out of his pocket, must have been one of them.

Summary
“Ilya, what are we gonna do?” Shane says.
Ilya finishes whatever he has been doing on his phone, and tosses it gently to the bed beside him. He crosses the room to Shane, stands in front of him, squeezes into his shoulders with his big hands, rubbing them like he means to warm them up.
“Looks like we will have a little vacation,” he says, with a big obnoxious grin.
Boston and Montreal are sent to Paris to play against each other in an exhibition series in January 2017. Ilya and Shane decide to stay in Paris for one more night. Just one more night, so they can talk. Maybe finally understand each other.
They aren't expecting a volcano to erupt in Iceland and close all the airspace in Europe, leaving them stranded there. Together.
