    Summary

    Maybe if the video ended there, Shane thought, it would be okay. Okayish. Still incriminating. Still a fucking disaster. Still embarrassing, to have his breakup with this beautiful actress filmed and disseminated on Reddit of all fucking places, but not a nail in his coffin, burying him alive. But the video didn’t end there.

    “Can I ask if you’ve ever been with another guy?” she had to ask.

    And he, tears visible in his eyes, had to nod.

    Just once. Just a single nod.

    Why did he have to nod?

    “Have you ever told anyone that before?” He shook his head. “Was it different? With a guy?”

    “Of course.”

    Of course.

    “Was it better?”

    “Yes.”

    +++

    Shane’s conversation with Rose is secretly recorded. Months later, after the All-Star game and Ilya’s confession in Russian, the video gets leaked online. Shane is outed to the world while Ilya is in Russia, and must now finish the 2016-2017 season with the entire world in on his secret.

    Summary

    A place for my "Dispatch" art. Robert is entirely too shippable with all characters in this game.

    More tags to be added with additional art.

    Summary

    “Wait.” Flambae blurted, voice strained.

    Robert’s fingers tensed on the channel button, halting his motion. “…yeah?”

    The line went quiet for a moment before Flambae made a soft, surrendering sound.

    “Fuck.” he borderline whined, and Robert couldn’t help the way his breath caught in his throat.

    “...Do you…want help? Or something?” Robert winced, regretting the words as soon as they left his mouth. “The sooner you’re done with…whatever this is, the sooner you can get back out on the field. So—just tell me what you need.”

    Another beat of silence and Robert briefly considered taking the offer back, asking Flambae to forget he even said anything. A rough exhale whistled in his ears.

    “Talk to me.”

    -

    Or, Flambae gets a bit "pent-up" mid-shift. Robert lends him a helping hand (Well, voice).

    Summary

    “One of these days I’m gonna burn that smug fucking look right off your face.”

    Robert could reply with snark, a well-timed retort. He had it loaded.

    Instead, he stares.

    Like the way you're supposed to stare at the sun when it hates you, and you love it anyway.

    “God, you're beautiful.”

    Flambae arched a brow. “Yeah? I fucking know. Mirrors exist. But thanks.”

    Or,

    Robert is in love with SDN’s resident flaming asshole.

    Unfortunately, the flaming asshole is the only one who doesn't know.

    Summary

    The thing about plastic chairs is that they weren't a great substitute for an actual bed; the other thing is, Robert can't exactly afford to be picky and even if he 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 the internal debate is still ongoing as to whether or not he deserves a mattress at this current point in his life.

    So, the plastic chair stays and is staying for the foreseeable future. Besides, it's charming - in a depressing, minimalism-that-is-totally-not-a-reflection-of-his-inner-sense-of-worth way.

     
    Or:

    The fic where Robert has chronic pain and Flambae has warm hands. The two of them will figure out what to do about that eventually, right?
