Hayden's Guide to Making Everyone Cry by nerdsofafeather

Summary
As Hayden stands up, Shane is suddenly aware that his best friend has had just enough alcohol that Shane is concerned for what might come out of his mouth. He also notices that Hayden does not have any sort of notes with him, unlike Sveta, and he shares a silent panicked look with Jackie.
“I remember the first time I met Shane.” Hayden jumps right in. Which, it’s not like he really needs to introduce himself to anyone here, but still...
“I realized pretty quickly that the ‘hockey god’” Hayden did quotation marks in the air. “Was just a scared 19 year old like I had been the year before.... That was the moment I decided I was going to be Shane’s friend. Not because he was Shane fucking Hollander, but becuase he was just a kid like the rest of us were as rookies.”Hayden gives his Best Man speech at Shane and Ilya's wedding, if goes better than anyone expected.

Summary
Ilya Rozanov was not expecting Svetlana Vetrova to be sitting on his front steps.
It had only been four days since he had ‘come out’ to Troy and Wyatt. They’d had back to back games the past three days and had just won a close afternoon game against Nashville. Ilya had been looking forward to going home, snuggling with Anya, and waiting for Shane to call him after practice and dinner with the Pikes.
He is not expecting his childhood best friend to be at his house. In Ottawa.
Svetlana decides she's done waiting for Ilya to come to her, so she brings herself to Ottawa for some heartfelt conversations and maybe even a new friend.

Hayden's (and JJ's) Guide to Dealing with Homophobes by nerdsofafeather
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV)

Summary
Hayden hadn’t thought it could get this bad. He hadn’t thought the Metro’s could sink this low. And yet…
In some ways JJ's not shocked at the reaction of the team...JJ understood the kneejerk reaction, but Shane had told the team about Rozanov three weeks ago. And JJ knew that some of them might feel hurt, like he had, that Shane had kept this from them for so long, but he also knew some of them had never gotten over Shane coming out as gay to begin with. So no, he’s not shocked that the team hasn’t reacted well to losing to Ilya Rozanov now that they know about him and Shane.
What he is a little shocked by is the vitriol they were spitting.
The aftermath of Shane's trip in the game against the Centaurs, except they weren't outed and they came out to their teammates on their own terms. The Metro's still don't handle it well.

Summary
Ilya’s still learning what Shane likes and needs, observing him quietly because Shane’s not so forthcoming with what he wants unless he’s certain it’s what he’s supposed to want. But it’s not until Shane reaches back and grabs Ilya’s hip to pull him closer, pressing their bodies together and taking some of Ilya’s weight, that he realises Shane’s been studying Ilya the same way.
“I’m trying to take care of you.”
“Why?” Ilya says, instead of something safer.
Shane twists over his shoulder to frown at him. “Because I want to? Because you’re tired and sad and not feeling well?”
“Oh.” Ilya pulls his bottom lip through his teeth. “But I…”
“I think maybe we both fucked up tonight?” Shane says tentatively.
“No, is not your fault.” Ilya rubs a hand over Shane’s shoulder and then kisses it, wet and soft. “You’re good.”
Shane hums like he’s not convinced. He turns and drapes his arms over Ilya’s shoulders, still pressed close. “After this, will you…”
“Yes,” Ilya says, his mind sharpening attentively, “Tell me what you need.”Or: They communicate just a little bit better and let themselves be just a little more vulnerable, both with each other and their people.
