    Summary

    The entire time Hayden has known him, and known of him, he has been Ilya Rozanov; violent player and serial womanizer. The media was saying those things about a child, and no one had given a shit, because Ilya had never spoken up for himself. He’d never protested their unfounded claims, and he never tried to prove them wrong, either.

    Which, now that Hayden knows the things he does, makes perfect fucking sense.

    or

    Hayden finds himself unlearning everything he thought he knew about Ilya Rozanov

    Summary

    Shane watches helplessly as Ilya is sent headfirst into the boards, spine twisting, skates lifting off the ice as his body folds under the force. The sound of impact is thunderous and wrong - echoing - louder than the crowd, louder than the goal horn, louder than the pounding of his heart against his chest, as Ilya’s body finally crumples into the ice.

    Ilya had no time to brace, Shane knows he had no time to brace because Shane had no time to brace.

    And he’s not moving.

    “Ilya!”

    Summary

    The worst part of it all is that Connor can’t pinpoint exactly when and where things started to go wrong between them. At the same time, he won’t stand here and lie and pretend that he hasn’t noticed the gradual decline. Mold, growing over their friendship. What was that thing people say about rotten apples? How it poisons the barrel and nothing is safe? He wonders, if he could peel back their layers—all that history, everything they have ever shared, would he find rot, too? Is there nothing sacred anymore between them? But this is all rhetorical. Connor isn’t really asking, because he’s not sure he’s going to like the answer.

    Summary

    “And—uh,” Hudson says, voice hitching just enough that he has to swallow the spit in his mouth, hard against the feeling lodged in his throat. “Connor.”

    Connor looks up then, mildly surprised, eyes meeting Hudson’s like he has no idea what Hudson could possibly say to and about him. Hudson forces himself to get through the words. “Thank you. For everything you bring to this show. To the scenes. To every room we’re in. My life. You make it better, all of it.”

    It’s heartfelt. Probably too heartfelt. The kind of thing he’ll replay in some video from some random crew member’s Instagram post later and wince at. But the room is too drunk and too happy, too full of love to really notice anything. Besides, it’s not like they’re not used to it. ‘Hudson loves Connor too much,’ they always throw around like it’s a given. None of what he’s said would feel out of place for anyone in the room except, maybe, for him.

    Summary

    It’s almost like a short film:

    two upcoming actors struggling with their newfound fame in their own ways, seeking comfort in what got them there in the first place: each other.

    Hudson thinks he’ll go home and write about this night. He’ll fill in the blanks with private touches, maybe even a kiss. Maybe he’ll make them secret lovers. Maybe he’ll make their love for each other the central theme. Maybe he’ll make them fall in love on set, reading through lines where they fall in love, crossing lines on what it means to be just friends. Maybe they realize it at the start. Or maybe they don’t realize it until it’s too late and all the lines have already been blurred.

    Hudson doesn’t know when he’d started associating the taste of smoke with the taste of Connor Storrie.
