    Summary

    It is December, and Scott has been out for long enough to pretend to be used to it, and things are not perfect but they’re fucking good, and Ilya Rozanov is at his apartment for dinner—has been for over an hour—and he’s still waiting so stupidly hopefully to introduce a boyfriend who very, very clearly isn’t coming.

    (Or: studies on coming out, learning patience, one-sided conversations, and other absurdist waiting games.)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Beautifully written and achingly sad. Takes the theme of Rozencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead (if we could go back to the beginning, could we change how it all turned out?) and turns it into a meditation on what hockey takes from the people that do not 100% fit the mold, and what those people sacrifice to be a part of hockey.

    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.

    A wonderfully feel-good AU with angst, hope, joy and, oh yeah, some hot sex. One of those stories where it is best to go in entirely unspoiled!

    Summary

    The play is very, very obvious. Ilya has spent most of his life wanting to be away from it, and to do that, you need a lot of money. The man in front of him has a lot of money, and better yet, a deep appreciation for the muscles that make up Ilya’s stomach. Ilya wishes he had the texts in hand, thick, soft pieces to feed back into his frowning mouth. Remember? When you said: I like you so much, and god I feel crazy and Fuck me, fuck me harder, more, god you feel so big, so good. I can feel you—please, you’re going to make me come. Please can I come. Please, Ilya.

    Always, they beg. Ilya is happier than he thought possible to fit in one body.

    or: Catfish au.

    A catfish AU that is…surprisingly lovely and poignant. The imagery is astounding.

    Summary

    The first sound Ilya hears is a thin, discordant symphony of beeps and whirs. Something vibrating. 

    The next thing he hears is…wet. A sort of shaking, gargling sound, that feels like the ugliest crying he’s ever heard. And through it, Shane’s voice. 

    “I’m with him now, mom. He’s— he’s not fine. He’s not. I know—”

    Ilya wants to ask who's not fine, but he can’t feel his own body, his mouth, enough to ask.

    “Yeah,” Shane is saying, only slightly calmer. “I know. He wasn’t breathing—"

    Ilya knows there's a link, between the clinical musicality of medical settings, Shane’s audible, awful distress, and his own physical incapacity. It’s just, it’s so tenuous, and the air around him is so thick, so heavy. It would be easy, to sleep, a little. 

    -
    Footage of the last game between Ottawa and Montreal is everywhere; it’s breached containment from the sports world, and now it seems like everyone is baying for Montreal’s blood. Except, Ilya is oblivious. Not exactly blissfully so, but as the fight for accountability within the league rages on without him, Ilya just wants someone, anyone, to tell him what happened.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    If you want a story where Shane and Ilya go Through It (together, with the Centaurs), with a big heaping scoop of BAMF Shane and Ilya whump, this is the story for you. Starts with Ilya in the hospital, not entirely aware of what is going on. You learned what happened as he does. It’s intense.

    Summary

    In late 2014, celebrity photos start dropping. Ilya deletes his texts, his photos, a video he should never have taken. It isn't soon enough.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    AU in which Shane and Ilya are outed by an iCloud style hack in late 2014, and Shane marries Ilya to keep him from being deported to Russia. If you like “I love him but I just know he did this to be kind and does not love me” pining from up close, this is the story for you!
