Summary
Nojiko used to be bullied.
It wasn’t a surprise or anything.
She was an orphan with a sister who looked nothing like her and an adoptive mom who smoked cigarettes, swore, and shaved her hair. Nojiko’s family was nothing anyone in Cocoyashi had ever seen. As such, the boys would throw rocks at her and Nami on their way to school and the girls would gossip by the corners of the schoolhouse. They would walk out of class at the end of the day with spitballs in their hair, fighting back tears.
Nojiko is twelve when her life falls apart.
Nami is ten when she gives hers away.
This is their story.

I Hope She's Good To You [The Director's Cut] by timesomewhere

Summary
Waiting to visit Shane in the hospital after his injury, Rose, Marlow, and Jackie have separate realisations about who 'Lily' and 'Jane', may really be. Hayden is also there.
PSA: This is the extended cut of the fic 'I Hope She's Good To You'. The original version was roughly 5000 words which I cut 1000+ from because it was a lot of me going wild in imagination land, but you guys were so lovely and said that you would like to see the full version, so I sat down and polished it and now it has doubled in length because I can't help myself. As a result, this part makes perfect sense as a standalone, but if you enjoy the idea and want a shorter version with less side character padding, feel free to read part one instead.

Summary
When an injury puts Ilya in a coma during the Ottawa Centaurs third game in the Stanley Cup final, Shane must decide whether he can handle the pressures of leading the team to victory with the worry that at any moment Ilya's condition could go from bad to worse.
*
Shane didn’t want to go home. It was one thing to be in another country clinging to the unfamiliarity of the people and the places to try and rationalise that this was a strange nightmare. But when he had to wake up in his bed alone and walk streets with people wearing Ilya’s jersey that pathetic hope would be extinguished.
It wasn’t supposed to be this way. The next game was the 11th, and if they hadn’t won by then they would have done by the 13th. Either way, by the time Ilya turned 32 on the 15th he was supposed to be a two-time Stanley Cup winner. They would spend the summer at the cottage, bathing in the joy of success and each other and forgetting that there was a world out there that demanded things of them.
Title from Walt Whitman's 'O Captain! My Captain!' RIP Walt Whitman you would have loved hockey yaoi.

Summary
The universe had decided Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov were perfect for each other, so it sent them an unmistakable sign. Unfortunately, the two of them have a lot of practice in mistaking things. So the universe tries again, and again.
Or: how many soulmate tropes does it take to get two oblivious hockey boys together?
“Dude, did you get a tattoo?”
Shane looked over. Shelly, who had the stall next to his at the CN Sports Complex locker room, was staring at Shane’s left arm.
“Uh, no?”
“What the fuck is it, then? Looks gnarly as hell.”
Shane looked down at the dark squiggly shape on his delt, an irregular blob slightly bigger than a loonie. Its edges were a series of indentations and protrusions, kind of like a jigsaw puzzle piece. If he’d seen this on anyone else, he would’ve assumed it was a tattoo, too. A shitty one that should be lasered off ASAP.
“I don’t know,” he said. “It kinda showed up out of nowhere, like, last night.”- Language:

Summary
Across the NHL, five players wake up to the news of the FanMail video. There are a lot of group chats, some bad advice, a team who just wants to find their captain, a misunderstanding about how a green screen works and the kind of life-changing news that's too big to be watched on a small screen.

Summary
"Apologise to my husband."
Comeau stared at him.
"I'm not-"
"I didn't ask if you wanted to," Shane said, his voice ice cold. "I said apologise to my husband. You're going to do it now, in front of this building full of people, and then we're going to finish this game, and if I hear you say something like that again, to either of us or to anyone else in this league, the next conversation we have will not be as easy as this one."
