Summary
Not for the first time, Ilya wondered if there was something wrong with him. Clinically. Wrong with him in a way that would get him slapped with a label if he took his concerns to a doctor. If it was the same wrongness that had caused his mother to swallow all her pills and end it. He refused to name it.
Even just in his thoughts.
He needed to get to practice. He was already late.

Summary
Shane looked at Ilya carefully. At the curled-up posture, at eyes that were too shiny to hide the fact he’d been crying. Bare toes in the damp grass, jaw clenched like he couldn’t relax even with the nicotine.
“Do you want to talk about it?” he asked, softly.

Summary
“You left your phone,” Shane said, pointing at the device where Ilya had left it. It was still sitting on the table, like an innocent witness to the proceedings.
“Sorry?” Ilya said, a crease deepening between his eyes as he stared at Shane in bewilderment. “Shane, I do not understand.”
“You’ve barely made it out of bed the last few days. I come home and you’re gone and your phone is here. What was I supposed to think?!”
Ilya stared at him, and then his eyes narrowed. Hardened into something that promised a summer storm.

Summary
There was a bruise darkening under Rozanov’s right eye.
Shane reached across and ran a finger over the puffy swell of it, gentle and careful, pulling away immediately when Rozanov winced.
“I would say sorry you got punched, but you were being an asshole out there.”
Ilya pulled his face out of reach of Shane’s searching fingers and shrugged. Like he got punched all the time and it was no big deal.
They were collapsed across each other on the bed, half-under the covers, half-exposed to the slightly too stuffy room. Rozanov’s sweat-damp curls were hanging in messy disarray across his forehead, lips still slightly swollen and red. He looked best like this, Shane decided vaguely, watching the minute twitch of Rozanov’s jaw, the long line of his throat. Bruised up and sweaty, limbs loose and sprawled out on the bed like it belonged to him.
“I got a punch in also,” Rozanov mused, blinking up at the popcorn ceiling. “So is fine.”

one of your eyes is always half-shut (something happened when you were a kid) by jade_werla

Summary
Shane Hollander is not a small fucking guy; he is all muscle, with big, calloused hockey-player hands and eyes nearly pretty enough to disguise the violence hidden in breadth of his shoulders.
Alexei is impressed.
Not a bad get, for someone fished out of a pool of hockey men who look like thumbs, their noses like squashed tomatoes and ears like boat sails. If it could not be beautiful, nosy bitch Svetlana, if it has to be a man, if it has to be a hockey player, then rich as God Shane Hollander isn’t the worst Ilyusha could have pulled.

Summary
“Mm, not stuff his pockets with the drug everyone thinks makes you gay right before a press conference? Maybe!” Ilya’s voice chimed happily from the phone.
“You wanna tell us why you’re so acquainted with Rush that you can identify it in 780p, Ilya?” Kip asked.
“…I have so much leather to deodorize, Kip Grady. So many sports cars, you know.”
--
Kip can't believe no one else can tell how outrageously gay Ilya Rozanov is, but he's not complaining, he's happy to have someone else to talk to at all the hockey functions.
Or: Perfect gaydar haver Ilya Rozanov finally gets a taste of his own medicine. A series of looks into Kip and Ilya's friendship, starting after the cottage.

Summary
Ilya seems to have everything now. A husband who loves him loudly, proudly, and in the sunshine, a team that is supportive of him and the love of his life, and it's been years since he's had to be in regular therapy. But then he sees his mom in a woman kissing her son's blonde curls after scolding him, and suddenly he's seeing his mom everywhere, and in everything. Grief is finding his cracks again, and he doesn't quite know what to do.

Spoilers for Heated Rivalry (show and book), and The Long Game.
Bittersweet, with a happy-ish ending. Deals with Ilya's likely CPTSD.
