The Hardest Part of Winning the Cup (Is Alcohol Poisoning) by Azure_K_Mello

Summary
Hayden didn’t recognize the woman Shane was talking to. She was younger, must have been a rookie’s girl. She had her phone shoved between her breasts, using her bra like a purse, the way so many women did.
Hayden heard her ask if Shane had someone there, and Shane sounded maudlin and wasted as he said, “I’ve been in a situationship for five and a half years. If I could have one wish in the whole wide world, my situationship would be here. Situationships don’t come to after-parties, they just leave you feeling broken and sad and… We won the Cup.”
Shane never, ever acknowledged that “Boston Lily” was as much as a friend, let alone a situationship… and five and a half years… that was back before rookie year. That was before the draft.
***
Shane gets alcohol poisoning while celebrating winning the Cup. A video gets on the internet. Ilya comes to rescue him.

Summary
Ilya knows what he is. He has always known what he is. The word for it in Russian tastes like something you'd scrape off a boot.
The word in English is bisexual, which is a nicer word, which he has heard, which he does not use. He uses other words. He uses the word his brother taught him. He uses it on himself before anyone else can.
He grows up. He gets good at hockey. He moves to America. He... falls in love.
(Or, five times people fail to notice Ilya being queer, and one time they have no choice.)

Summary
For one, singular, blissful moment, nothing is wrong when Ilya wakes up.
And then the bubble pops.
With something less like a pinprick and more like a gunshot.
--
After Ilya is outed he has to deal with being the only openly queer player in the league, being Russian, and being in love with Hollander even after he ran away all at once. It sucks. He does it anyway.

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.
