take a bow (cause you're the winner) by metall0kinetic (mercpool)

Summary
The first time Shane sees the Voyagers winner’s room, the tiny cell-like cavity cut into the wall of one of the endless tunnels that makes up the layout of his new workplace, his stomach turns. It's a harrowing enough thought, the dubious measure of consent implied by things like sportsmanship and caving to tradition, but fuck.
He tells himself he's just excited by the nature of the room, the figurative coming of age that a winner's room represents.
It has nothing to do with the guilty, illicit idea of the only other person in the league who can hope to match him. And what they might get up to in here, undisturbed, permitted to indulge.
Ilya wins a match, and to the victor go the spoils.

Shane Hollander's Virgin Diaries by Prosephone

Summary
"I don't just want someone who likes my face, they need to like all of me."
"To fuck you? No, they do not. And neither do you." And that's when the idea hit him.
He needed guidance, he needed an expert and he was living with "Russia's Greatest Love Machine" , which some of the team called him, affectionately. Not enlisting him in this endeavor would be living with a NASA scientist while trying to build a backyard rocket. Rozanov was a NASA scientist of sex and Shane was planning to have sex for the first time, it felt like the universe was handing him a win after such a terrible night.
"You know a lot about this stuff."
"Hollander, are you calling me a whore?" He laughed.
***
Or: Shane is finally ready to lose his virginity but realizes he needs some help navigating the complexities of neurotypical dating. Ilya just happens to be hanging around, all the time, no reason at all, and is enlisted to help.

Summary
Ilya is not going to steal Shane Hollander's dog. That would be illegal. And wrong. And someone would probably find out and make Ilya give him back.
So. Not stealing.
But there is nothing wrong with giving Chernysh all the pats and treats that he deserves, is there?
Nothing wrong with encouraging Chernysh to spend more and more time at Ilya's house until he doesn't even remember who Hollander is.
Because Hollander is stupid and boring and does not deserve a dog as good as Chernysh. No, he doesn't, does he? Because Chernysh is the best boy in the whole world, yes he is.

Summary
"You look like desperate, scared baby deer all night," Ilya said, by way of introduction. "Blink twice if you are needing help."
Shane— according to the tacky name badge on his chest— shifted forward, a hopeful sort of look on his face, and Ilya noticed he had a smattering of freckles across his face that were aggravatingly charming.
"Are you… part of this thing?"
Ilya arched an eyebrow. "Do I look like I need to be part of this thing?"
Shane huffed gently. He leaned back again. "No, but you don't have to be rude about it."

Summary
"We're setting you up with a billet situation," Fletcher continued. "It's pretty common for first-year players, especially international guys. Gives you a chance to settle in, learn the city, have someone looking out for you."
"Okay," Ilya said slowly, not entirely sure what a billet was, but not wanting to admit his ignorance.
He could guess from the context – he’d heard of rookies being assigned to live with older single players, veterans who could show them the ropes. Maybe that was what Fletcher meant. Connors maybe, he was probably a handful of years older than Ilya. Or perhaps Becker. Ilya just hoped it was someone who–
"You'll be staying with Nikolai Petrov and his family."
The words hit Ilya like a punch to the gut. For a moment, he forgot how to breathe.
"Petrov?" he managed, his voice coming out strangled.
__________________________________________________________________The Bears decide that Ilya should be set up with a billet for his first season. The idea of spending a year living with a man that Ilya is sure hates him is completely terrifying. And yet, it ends up being the best thing to ever happen to him.
