Summary
Shane was fourteen the first time a number felt like safety.
The nutritionist worked out of an office in Kanata, framed certificates, a calm voice, laminated charts with columns. She explained it simply: fuel in, output required, timing of each. She said it was a starting point.
Shane took notes in the margins the way he took notes on everything—completely, past what was required. Yuna had found the nutritionist herself, sat beside him, and took notes too.
Like mother, like son.

Or: Shane’s system works until it doesn’t; Ilya notices first.

Summary
“Luch-Shane,” Ilya says, catching himself only at the last moment before he breaks their no pet names in the workplace rule. “Why don’t you get some air, yes? We can-”
Shane’s anxiety takes a quick backseat to annoyance once more, at being handled like a child instead of a grown man, like he hasn’t been doing this just as long as Ilya, like he needs someone to tell him when to take a break.
Like he deserved to have everything taken away from him because he couldn’t handle it to start with.
“I’m fine,” he says, voice icy.
The step he takes away is too big, farther than he meant to get from Ilya’s side, and the air between them feels both charged and icy.
He isn’t quite bold enough to try and fix it.
(shane is married and on the same team as his husband) (and all it cost him was his whole career and the life he spent years building beforehand) (but it's fine, really) (it's all so very, very fucking fine)

Summary
“Marley.” Ilya says evenly, suddenly knowing he can actually breathe. He had a plan and he knew what he needed to do. And he couldn’t do it from the locker room bench. “If he is very injured, if he cannot play again, if he is very bad, I will kill you. I will kill you painfully.”
Cliff gapes at him.In which the hit that Cliff Marleau had on Shane Hollander goes a little different. For one, they’re in Boston. For another, Ilya realizes he might be panicking? Which is probably not something to do in the middle of a game. And, oh yeah, he just outed both himself and his not-boyfriend to an entire locker room of hockey players.
But that’s okay, because while Boston may be vicious, they do take care of their own. And they quickly realize that their captain’s happiness and willingness to stay with the Bears is tied to Shane Hollander. The solution is easy, they’ll just have to make Shane Hollander a Bear.

Summary
At the Juniors World Championship in 2006, Ilya Rozanov tells Shane Hollander he doesn't like to speak in English.
“You can speak Russian to me if you want. I’ll speak French to you. We don’t have to speak English at all. Maybe just a little, you know? Just enough to understand one another," Shane suggests. Ilya is confused. He's also never been more interested, so they spend the next decade inventing a new, private love language, just for them.
A year by year development of Hollanov's evolution in life, language, and love.

Summary
"Hi, solnyshko.”
The Russian pet name set a firework off inside Shane's mind as he heard it cooed from behind him. The intonation was just as he remembered, but the voice was much deeper.He turned and felt himself short circuit. It took every ounce of willpower to not let his jaw drop cartoonishly to the floor. Shane would recognize his individual features anywhere, even after 5 years. But it was as if someone had snapped their fingers and the smug, silly Russian boy who had been attached to Shane's hip for 3 summers was transformed into some sort of fucking Adonis right before his eyes.
“Ilya-” was all Shane managed before strong arms were wrapped around his waist and lifting him off the ground in a greeting all too familiar from years ago.
OR
When Shane Hollander & Ilya Rozanov spent their summers as teens in an elite hockey camp, they quickly became inseparable friends. But they lose touch when Shane moves on as a prospect for the NHL and Ilya for the KHL.Years later, Montreal makes a bold move to take the hottest player in the KHL. After hearing of the Russian's reputation, the Montreal Captain is tasked with keeping his old best friend and new teammate out of trouble.

Summary
“Grigori has never liked that Ilya plays hockey here," Svetlana says. "He has always wanted him to play back in Russia. When he hears about the Ottawa trade, he will be worse than before. You must not let Ilya do this, do you understand?”
“Would he?” Shane asks.
“Grigori is dangerous because he is persistent,” Svetlana says. “He wears people down. He makes them small. This is what he did to Ilya’s mama, and he now he does this to Ilya. Ilya can survive it because he is a world away. He will not survive it if Grigori is the only voice in his head all the time.”
--
Or: Grigori Rozanov never develops Alzheimer's. Even from across the globe, he maintains influence over Ilya, his career, and, unknowingly, his relationship.
Being told that they can't come out makes Shane speed-run being ready to do just that and tell the world that he loves Ilya Rozanov.

Summary
He knows no one would believe him. Plenty of guys get smacked around by their girlfriends. Pussy-whipped, dog-walked, whatever. She’s talking way too fast for Ilya to understand. It’s just one of her little harmless punishments, when he fucks up. Sometimes she ignores him just to watch him squirm and try to figure out what he did. They don’t talk about his family, and he doesn’t tell her that his father used to do the same thing. Bringing it up will just make her angrier.
It’s a little bit more than a slap this time. The edge of her knuckles connects with his nose and blood is running down his chin before he can blink. He runs his tongue over the smooth surface of his teeth on instinct like he always does after he hits the ice face first. Ilya always expects it, yet it always takes him by surprise.
After the news breaks about Shane and Rose, Ilya gets himself into something...simpler. But simpler turns confusing, and then manipulative, and then violent. And that's when people start noticing.

"Clean it."
"What?" Mike deadpanned, sock starting to soak from the spilled coffee on the hardwood. "I-"
"You’re gonna get on your knees, and clean it.” Will smiled, “Isn’t that what you want? So I can tell you just how good you’re being for me?”
Fuck.

Summary
“You’re—hard again.” Will breathed, as he ran his fingers down Mike’s stomach. Mike stopped him, grabbing his wrist and bringing his hand back to his chest.
“I don’t care, let me hold you.” Mike whispered into Will’s hair, kissing the top of his head.
“I—I don’t think I’ve ever come that hard in my life.” Will smushed his face against Mike, almost like he was embarrassed.
A smug satisfaction pooled in Mike’s gut at that. He’d never even done that before. He didn’t pry though, didn’t taunt Will with the words resting on his tongue. What? Wes can’t fuck you like that? Can’t make you come that hard?
It had been seven years since the party ended in Mike Wheeler’s basement after graduation. He was drowning in a sea of conformity, grasping at the only lifeline that ever made sense to him, his imagination.
Or-Mike ends up in New York, feeling aimless, until he sees a painting of his younger self hung in a gallery, a plaque next to the frame reading, “First Love-W.B”.
Mike is finally faced with the reality that he’s always been too scared to admit. He had to find Will.- Language:

Summary
“Ok.”
Mike snaps his head to Will, looking for a sign that he didn’t hear him right. Will just keeps looking at the ceiling, cheeks now bright red.
“O-ok…?” He asks.
Will nods, his chest heaving faster than before. “Ok.”
He pulls his eyebrows together. “Just- just to make sure, you’re saying ok to-”
“You wanna jerk off with me here.”
Mike’s eyes widen, and he quickly looks back up to the ceiling.
“Ok,” Will repeats.
OR
It's the summer before their junior year of college, and it's just like any other. Except for the fact that Will is staying at the Wheelers', and Mike is starting to realize there are a lot of things he likes about having Will in his bed. Will's excuses of Mike just being "pent up" start to run out when Mike offers a solution to fix that.

Summary
"So," Mike said, voice rougher now, almost careful, "you think you're bigger?"
The words hung there, half-joke, half-challenge, drawn from the same nervous energy that made Mike open up moments earlier.
Will's pulse hammered in his ears. He met Mike's eyes, and really looked at him, he saw the same mix of curiosity and embarrassment staring back.
"I bet I am," Will said softly, the words slipping out before he could take them back.
Or: Mike Wheeler has a massive dick, Will becomes obsessed with it.

Summary
“Did I say something?” he asks, hyperaware of the fact that he’s probably not coming off nearly as chill and relaxed as he’d like to about this. It took him long enough to agree to Shane eating him out, and even longer still to agree to one slim finger. He’s not feeling very sex-positive right now. “Something that implied I wanted to try a vibrator?”
(or: role reversal, gently)
