Summary
Rozanov’s smile was all teeth. “Ah, yes. Is gift.”
Something tripped in Shane’s chest at the idea. Sure, they’d been hooking up for nearly half a decade by this point, but four frantic trysts a year did not a relationship make. Certainly not a relationship which included gifts.
“Oh. I mean– thank you.” The sincerity felt strange on his tongue, but Yuna and David Hollander raised Shane with goddamn manners, and if somebody gave you a gift you said fucking thank you.
Even if that someone was Ilya Rozanov. Even if he was looking at you with a Cheshire Cat smile that made you think you’d seriously missed an important piece of context.
Or: Five times Ilya and Shane got each other gifts that absolutely, categorically, 100% didn't mean anything, and one time they gave up pretending.

Summary
Shane swipes out of a few notifications from the ESPN app, all clickbait about Scott Hunter’s speech at the NHL awards. He can’t deal with those right now, his brain is not online. Then he sees the Snapchat notification, from Ilya.
Shane puts his phone down and blinks a few times. He picks it up and checks the display again. The notification is still there.
He hasn’t gotten a Snap from Ilya since the end of the season back in April, after they crashed out of the Frozen Four without making it to the final. Shane saw him a few times after that, at team meetings and at the annual sports awards dinner, but he’s pretty sure Ilya left campus before the end of the semester. Shane wasn’t expecting anything from him until the fall, when he’s back at school.
He rubs his eyes and rolls onto his side, swiping the app open. It’s a video.
or, the boys are in college, featuring self discovery, russian diminutives, and (to ilya's chagrin) the scott hunter of it all.

Summary
The queer NHL players (begrudgingly) unite via group chats in the face of social media scandals.
These stories take place on a (slightly loose) chronological timeline and make the most sense when read in order. However, they're all independent stories/scandals and can be read as standalones.
All stories take place post TLG and include spoilers for the books.

Summary
“Who is that?” Ilya asks, his body swaying closer to the door as if on instinct.
The knocking continues, and Shane does the only thing he can think to do right now with Ilya still holding onto him, a towel wrapped around his waist. It’s not his finest idea; it would probably rank similarly to I’m clearing my head.
Which Hayden didn’t give a fuck about, apparently.
He unhands himself from Ilya, sliding the closet door they’d just clattered into open. “Get in.”
“You are putting me back in the closet?” Ilya asks flatly, still standing there, still in a towel.
“You’re not out of the closet, that’s the point,” Shane grits out, gesturing him in impatiently.

Or the one where Jane and Lily spend the week together, Hayden Pike plays detective, and a coming-out dinner ensues, pride skittles included.- Language:
