Summary
"Rose and I are friends. Actual friends," Shane explained. "I don’t think she has a lot of close friends either. And she is the only friend who knows, like, all of me, other than…”
“Other than who?” Ilya asked as Shane trailed off.
“Other than you, Ilya.”
“Is that what we are?” Ilya said, tone trying to be flippant, but missing the mark. “Friends?”
“I would like to think that friendship is a part of it, yeah."

Summary
Yeah, maybe Yuna should have just responded to the frantic texts. But Shane never gave them any details about the people he was dating. This Lily seemed genuinely worried, and if a phone call would get her a better read on the girl, that would be a coincidence at best. Shane knew she preferred talking on the phone, and if she used her own phone, she’d avoid invading any more of his privacy.
She figured his current condition would be a higher priority to address than his mother calling the girl he was seeing. He’d be satisfied that his Lily would know how he was doing, and Yuna would be satisfied to connect with this girl who seemed to enchant his serious and stoic son. The phone rang twice before Yuna was sent to voicemail.
"Hi. This is Ilya. I will never listen to your voicemail."
Yuna may have miscalculated.

in defense of a moral victory by A_Different_Type_of_Flower

Summary
He walked back to the living room, where Jackie and Hayden were standing, having a whispered conversation, Shane’s jacket folded over Jackie’s arm. They stopped talking and turned to Shane as he entered.
“Hey, bud,” said Hayden slowly, not moving.
“Uh, do you want me to leave?” asked Shane, gesturing to his jacket, panic rising in his throat.
“What? No. No. Absolutely not. We were afraid you’d try and sneak out of here, so I grabbed your coat and keys,” explained Jackie.
“Oh,” said Shane, letting out a shaky laugh as he ran his hand through his hair. “Good call. I can’t say it didn’t cross my mind.”
or
Ilya has a new philosophy in how he picks fights, Shane doesn’t understand the appeal of a moral victory, and Hayden is so fucking glad he married Jackie.

Summary
Petunia Dursley opened the door. “Yes, can I-”
“Yes,” said Remus. “Hello Petunia, I’m sure you don’t remember us but -”
“You,” she said, eyes wide, attempting to close the door. Sirius had put his boot in the doorway. “You were on the news! You’re a -”
“Terrible misunderstanding, that,” said Sirius, taking a step into the house. Petunia backed up. “Now that all my legal troubles have been handled I’ve come to collect Harry. You see, he was always meant to be with us if something was to happen to Lily and James.”
or
Harry moves in with Sirius and Remus the summer before his fourth year. It is somehow easier and harder than any of them could have imagined.

Crashing by WhimsicalSesquipedalian

Summary
“Oh shit.”
Shane looked up, turned his head to where J.J. was sat across the aisle. The blue glow of his phone lit up the too-wide whites of his eyes staring down intently at whatever was on his screen. Shane’s stomach lurched again, anticipating a sudden stop his body hadn’t quite caught up to yet.
“The Centaurs’ plane crashed in Tampa.”
There was a moment where everything was still moving, where Shane and the world were still spinning at the same speed they both always had, and then it all came crashing down. Shane wasn’t sure whether it was him that had stopped, or the world around him, but either way, in a matter of seconds the distance between himself and the bus he had only a moment ago been sitting in became staggeringly, dizzyingly vast.
The Centaur's emergency landing plays out a little bit worse, and Shane is left with the harsh reality of the cost of loving Ilya in secret.

Summary
“I am out for the season?”
“Probably."
“Are you by any chance looking for a trophy husband?”
“Ilya.”
“Yes? No?”
“It’s one season, Ilya, we’re not—it’s bad because you’re hurting, not because—I’m not letting this fuck anything up for us, okay? We’ll figure something out,” Shane says, resolutely.
or, you know what they say about the best laid plans
ilya’s first year in ottawa looks a little different than originally planned, maybe sort of because he ends up spending it recovering a broken leg in his boyfriend’s apartment, but probably mostly because he meets jackie pike

After crashing out over whether he is sufficiently queer, Shane makes the drunken and impulsive decision to get his nipples pierced. Who could have thought two such tiny pieces of metal could cause so much spiralling?

Summary
Cliff Marleau can be a dumbass, it’s fair to say - anyone can, some people would claim it more likely for men, and some people would certainly claim that being in a profession that involves violence, speed, and sharp things, and a ridiculous among of travel all on a regular basis would make it pretty likely for someone to be a dumbass. He does dumb shit sometimes, but it’s usually pretty basic.
Actually, how this started was years ago, when he still felt just barely out of being a rookie himself and Coach asked him to keep a watch on their new Russian rookie Ilya Rozanov, now Boston’s captain and one of Cliff’s good friends.
And Cliff is pretty damn curious about the girlfriend Ilya swears he doesn’t want to have.
OR: Cliff's investment in getting Ilya to admit he's more invested than normal in Montreal Jane throws him and the Boston Raiders down the path of queer allyship.
title from 'Bejeweled' by Taylor Swift.

Shane Hollander maybe has some additional issues by SkuldTheNorn
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV)

Summary
The first time Hayden asks himself if Shane Hollander is gay, he’s drunk and stupid, and it isn’t even about Shane. He’s just being maudlin, the buzz of mid-shelf tequila turned sour after he stopped a girl getting too handsy with him on the dancefloor. She’d looked at him like he was crazy.
OR
Five times Hayden asks himself if Shane is gay and one time it's pretty fucking obvious. Because he walks in on them.
OR
Local dude convinces himself his best hockey bro is straight despite evidence to the contrary. What happens next will shock you.
