The MILF Theory (And Why the Internet Got It Wrong) by pucksandpower

Summary
The internet has decided that Ilya Rozanov is absolutely, definitely, 100% banging a Hollander.
They’ve got photo evidence. Multiple sightings. Instagram stories from the same café. The man stayed OVERNIGHT at the Hollander residence.
It’s the most legendary power move in NHL history: seduce your rival’s hot mom to assert dominance. There’s just one tiny problem with this theory. Ilya’s fucking a Hollander, all right. Just … not that one.
Or in which Ilya’s boyfriend's mother keeps adopting him, the internet keeps assuming the worst, and Shane Hollander is having the worst month of his entire life. At least until he does something that breaks hockey forever.

Summary
If you’d already decided love was more than enough, that being together was bigger than fear; if you’d already picked each other over everything else, already picked a season to make it known; if you’d exchanged rings and vows and you knew this was forever and—most significantly—no one’s idiot best friend accidentally outed you early with his stupid side-hustle video scheme: would you stick to the plan?
Or, would you play a slightly longer game to make your point; would you wait a couple extra months if it meant seizing the opportunity to go big, go bold, shove loving this much in the faces of the naysayers and the assholes and the bigots on an oh-so-convenient, quadrennially-available global stage?
~
Or: No FanMail. No outing. No forced free agency. Just their terms. Just their choice. Just their love.
So hell yes: Shane and Ilya use the 2022 Winter Olympics as their hard launch. How’s that even a question?
Scott Hunter’s gonna be so pissed at being upstaged that bad.Series

Summary
After the longest season of his career, Ilya retreats to the cottage with Shane, expecting rest, recovery, and a month of stolen peace. Instead, exhaustion lingers. Small things feel wrong. And the body that has always carried him through pain begins to falter in ways he can’t explain.
As concern grows and outside eyes begin to notice, the life Ilya and Shane have carefully built—careers, borders, futures—starts to feel fragile. When a medical crisis shatters their summer before answers arrive, love is no longer something they protect quietly. It becomes something they fight with.
A story about what happens when the body speaks before you’re ready to listen, and the people who refuse to let you face it alone.

Summary
Neil’s second year at Palmetto State School of the Arts was going about as well as he expected: his likelihood of survival was barely above zero, he’d managed to secure himself an enemy as dangerous as Riko Moriyama, and despite three months of being paired together in a compulsory art project, he still hadn't been able to convince Andrew to collaborate with him properly. Neil’s life was on the line, but he was starting to realise that there were some things in life that he was ready to risk it all to keep.
