Statute 62A: Regarding the Proper Care and Feeding of Your Vampire by KushielsMercy for qui_nomin

Summary
Vampire hunting isn't what it used to be. So here Joe is, nine-hundred years old, spending his Friday night wandering the live-donor clubs, checking permits and kicking out vamps with only a few decades under their belt who still think flashing fang in public is cute.
Until Joe turns the corner into the alley and sees Nicoló di fucking Genova himself, fang out, glaring at the silver fence surrounding him and looking about two seconds away from actually drinking a five-day-old pig. Joe he should have just called it a night. He’s clearly hallucinating.

Summary
They are blessed in love: Nicoló knows this.
It's just -
Nicoló could go home now, pack a bag and set out in search of adventure, leaving Yusuf to entertain a new romance for a decade or two. Yusuf could spend years making love to someone else on the blankets he’s piled on their shared bed, he could write sonnets about some brown-eyed love. He could taste pomegranates from another man's lips and dream up curly-haired, dark-skinned babes. He could speak nothing but his native tongue for years and share morning prayers with someone of the same faith.
And yet, time would pass, and Nicoló would return, and Yusuf would rage and curse his name, and then he’d take Nicoló back anyway. What else was he to do? Yusuf loved love, and the universe was cruel enough to give him only one imperishable choice.

Summary
Joe hates peaches, he’s pretty sure. They’re slimy, made worse by their fuzzy skin, and they make your fingers sticky no matter how much you try to lick them clean - not even in a fun way. The last time he ate a peach was in…the 1770s? Probably. When Nicky went through that phase where Joe couldn’t sneeze without Nicky putting a peach in front of him, because -
Because Joe loved peaches.
Or, what it really means to be half of a whole.

Fourteen ten by delagauchetiere

Summary
In which Ilya comes back to room fourteen ten.
Canon divergent from, and following directly after, s01e01 when Ilya leaves Shane's hotel room. Contains Ilya being a provocative dick, Shane being unable to resist rising (ha) to it, too much discussion of chicken, some David Attenborough, Shane negotiating his feelings and interpersonal relationships with all his classic suavity and skill, and as much sex as two nineteen year old professional athletes can fit into one evening.

Summary
After they came out, Shane was ready for people to be weird.
It was weird with other guys in the league, weird with reporters, weird with angry fans who thought his relationship had tanked their fantasy teams and their sports betting parlays, weird with sponsors and their very enthusiastic pride campaign pitches, weird on all the social media that he avoided like the plague.
What he hadn't expected was for things to be so fucking weird with other gay people.

Operation O Canada, or The Hollander-Rozanov Method of Soft Launching a Marriage by robbinscinquefoil

Summary
“Can’t hang out tonight, Hayd. I have plans.”
“Bullshit,” Hayden responds. “You never have plans.”
Objectively, this used to be true. Nowadays Shane has many, many plans, between his nightly plans to look at Ilya’s penis through Skype and his various long-term plans laid out helpfully in his notebook, Canva (For Ilya’s sake. He is a visual learner), and more recently, Excel. Shane loves that excel sheet. He’s colour coded it.
In 2017, Shane Hollander spirals and proposes to his boyfriend of 4 days (or 7 years, or 9 years, or not his boyfriend at all, depending on how you look at it), which leads to a lot of plans, weird theories in the Montreal Voyageur locker room, some Twitter drama, and Ilya Rozanov entering his WAG era.

Summary
JJ didn't think the others saw it. Hayden, maybe, but Jackie was the only WAGs's name Shane had committed to memory so Hayden never brought it up. JJ didn't have a wife or girlfriend. He had his hookups and the names of the best restaurants in each city they player in. If JJ had a dog, Shane would probably mix its name up with Drapeau's. The others didn't get that however pathetic or sad they might think Shane, Shane thought the same of them tenfold when they missed shots at practice or ate fast food on weekdays. Shane wasn't being prissy or funny when he said, don't embarass me—JJ still doesn't know exactly what it was, but he doesn't care to find out.
Shane had poured everything into his team (possessively: it was his team) and he asked them to give it back that day, so they delivered. When Shane smiled at them afterwards, it felt like love.
Character study on neurotic batshit hardass Captain Shane Hollander. The awe-inspiring and aloof Canadian Hockey Jesus Shane Hollander. Unwilling MLH sex icon Shane Hollander, the face on many mens' dart boards.
or, JJ on the enigma of (his feelings for) Shane Hollander over the years.

Summary
In Vegas, after they’d said everything right up to the edge of I love you, Shane and Ilya came up with a plan. It was long term, with many, many steps. There might be a spreadsheet somewhere that Shane won’t admit to.
But it’s a plan, nonetheless. Over the summer of 2014, they tweak it and add things important to the both of them. There are even many, extensive, contingency plans.
OR
Thanks to Shane's small lie the first time they hooked up, Shane and Ilya are together years earlier. Now, they have to figure out what to do about it.
