Summary
The Sheriff has spent months worried out of his mind about Stiles and getting increasingly frustrated by the constant lies and trouble. He finally cracks after yet another bullshit excuse, and tells Stiles he's had enough. Stiles refuses to open up, and their relationship threatens to fall apart. In the aftermath, an overheard conversation forces the Sheriff to reevaluate and try to make things right with his son before he loses him for good.
This is a story about hurting the people you love and loving people who have hurt you, and how you muddle through to try to fix it.

Summary
Once was weird, twice was bizarre, but three times was just a pattern. Shane had found himself stuck in some sort of time loop, bound by the hours in the day, from the moment he woke up to the second he collapsed in that god forsaken hallway, a sob catching in his throat, and Ilya long gone.
What was that saying about trying the same thing and insanity?

Summary
The Swiss National League doesn’t care about the legendary Hollander-Rozanov rivalry. When the MLH can’t negotiate with the Hockey Players’ Union in time to prevent a hockey lockout at the start of the 2015 season, the Zürich Lions jump at the chance to sign both Shane and Ilya to short-term contracts. For four months in Switzerland, they share a team, a line, a house, and a bed.
Then the lockout ends in January, and it’s time to go back. Back to different countries, cities, lives. Beds.
Reentry is harder than expected.

Soulmates (or Shane and Ilya winning the Love Game) by Justaromanticfool
Fandoms: Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid, Heated Rivalry (TV)

Summary
He knew it stung Ilya, people not understanding. It stung him too. Because to Shane, loving Ilya was like breathing and also like standing on solid ground after years of drifting. It flooded him and steadied him at the same time. It hurt, knowing the world reduced them to a rivalry, a strange story, a piece of scandalous gossip when what they had was so much more. He wanted to be by Ilya’s side for everything, the mundane, the bright and the hard. And maybe not everyone who was in love felt like this, so overwhelmed and so steadied all at once. But Shane did. And if love was a contest, well… he is the winner.
Best couple. Number one. Most epic love story ever.Or 4 times Shane told people him and Ilya were practically soulmates and the 1 time the universe told him.
