When You Have Nowhere Else To Go by Dumpsterfire_Duck

Summary
Six months before Ilya Rozanov's 18th birthday, he decides to end it all. Running away from Russia and moving in with his best friend Svetlana at age 15 seemed like a great idea at the time; but it left his life in shambles, and he's tired of trying to fix it or hope for something better. So he takes a nice, long trip away from Boston, where he won't be Sveta's problem anymore, and tries to join his Mama in a better place.
Meanwhile, Shane Hollander's life is crumbling, and slowly he's beginning to realize that there's no coming back from that. All he wanted was to be in control of one thing, between endless hockey practices and constantly setting an example and having to be perfect. That 'one thing' happened to be his eating. A strict performance-enhancing diet. He's so obsessed with controlling himself, that he couldn't even see his "discipline" was getting way out of control until it was too late.
Struggling to hold their heads above water in the chaos and uncertainty that inevitably take place when your life slowly unravels to such a catastrophic degree, they will both come to find out that you can either find someone to hold on to, or you can resign yourself to drowning.

What Does Freedom Really Mean, When Demanded of You by a God? by Dumpsterfire_Duck

Summary
"I will give you a second chance," Aether announced, determination and softness mixed in his voice. "You went through much suffering. It would be unfair to kill you before you can see this world… with eyes that aren't clouded by hate."
The little fairy floated closer, nodding along Aether's words. "We don't pity you – compassion is different from pity. We want you to live freely, in a way that you've never had the opportunity to experience before. Please trust us, Balladeer-"
"Don't call me that." His voice was barely over a whisper, akin to the subtle whistle of the breeze among grass blades.
The fairy gave him a reassuring smile. "What do we call you, then?"
Aether took a step closer, kneeling by him. "Now that you're not a harbinger, not a villain, not a god… who are you?"
—————
Or: the moment that The Traveler defeated Scaramouche but decided not to kill him, leaving him with unexpected, newfound freedom, and a bitter recognition from the gods – a reminder of his past... A promise for his future.

Alone at the edge of a universe, humming a tune...
For merely dreaming we were snow...
A siren sounds like the goddess who promises endless apologies of paradise. And only she can make it right...
So things are different tonight.

Summary
Forester (Admirals🔛🔝)
So the true way to combat the Bisexual Russian Terminator isn’t with homophobia...
It's actually with even more gay
...
You're a goddamn genius.----
The NHL rookies have joined forces to strategize now that two of the greatest hockey players of all time are on the same team and Ilya Rozanov must suffer from the unintended consequences of making hockey more woke.
Mainly, the way everyone keeps implying that they want to fuck his husband.
or: a group of rookies unionize and employ chirping as a form of psychological torture against a one Ilya Grigoryevich Rozanov.

Summary
“Honestly, dude, you’re fucking handling this like a champ.”
He’s not. He’s handling it the way he has to, the only way there is to handle it. “Well, I am champ, so.”
Marlow chuckles.
He sounds like he’s about to say something else heartfelt and misinformed, so Ilya flicks on the radio.
