Summary
Troy Barrett needs cheering up, Harris Drover needs better taste in men, and Ilya Rozanov really needs to mind his own business.
He won't though, because besides hockey, Ilya has many talents: annoying his boyfriend Shane Hollander, hogging Chiron from the rest of his team, and knowing exactly who should be with who. His matchmaking methods are very questionable, and his meddling is definitely unasked for.
So when Troy arrives at the Centaurs looking like the most miserable man in the world, Ilya decides he's his next project. It doesn't take Ilya long to realise that Harris, the Centaurs social media manager with a spectacular track record of terrible dates, was always going to be the most obvious answer.

Summary
Harris takes a part time job at a cafe while studying in Toronto. He's a Centaurs fan, visibly gay, and has a pin for both on his apron. The Guardians players come in every other day for their lunch breaks, and most of them are terrible in both attitude and tipping. But there’s a quiet one that keeps coming back after every win, ordering the same toasted sandwich, and staring at Harris's mouth like he's not quite sure what he's hungry for.

Not ec-lec-tic? by goodoldfashioneddeliveryboy

Summary
Going no-contact with Curtis Barrett had been surprisingly easy.
Not emotionally, at first, but physically easy in the sense that Troy didn’t even need to actually block his number or monitor his socials. His dad never rang, or messaged. Not a single thing since that night when Troy had finally stood up to him, looked him square in the face and told him he was gay and Curtis had just stared in bewilderment, anger, disgust, and watched him go.
Which is why when Troy takes his phone off plane mode as they walk through the airport after touching down in New York, he stops in his tracks as he sees a notification for two missed calls. From his dad. One voicemail.
--
A fic about Troy still trying to find himself despite being an openly gay, engaged man, and how his past doesn't stay in the past, but this time he's got love on his side.
Featuring Ilya being the best bisexual buddy, Harris is incredibly smitten, loving queer-platonic-friendships, and discussions of Buffy villains.

Summary
The Voyageur is strong, fast, handsome, and just about everything the city of Ottawa could ever want in a superhero. Shane Hollander is very good at staying under the radar as a local crime reporter.
Ilya Rozanov is just trying to take down his family's corrupt business from the inside. He didn't really intend to become a vigilante and he definitely didn't mean to develop a crush on the city's #1 super-boy. Or on the journalist helping him take his father down.

Passionfruit is poison by Veronicatrash13 (Lynchian_Girl13)

Summary
Shane Hollander is looking forward another off season with his secret boyfriend but it is harshly interrupted by a call from the NHL to comply with a rare doping investigation. Things seem to be straightforward enough, but tensions rise as Yuna insists on helping manage the situation and everything else. And when an unexpected suspension hits both Shane and Ilya, they’re forced to face their worst fears.
Technically starting before the events of The Long Game, this fic starts at the beginning of the 2020 off season. Major minor canon divergence: no one from Shane’s team knows about his relationship with Ilya. Using show canon Yuna, but otherwise building off of the Game Changers book canon.

Summary
Ilya starts calling Shane boring regularly after that, not cruelly but persistently, the way you press a bruise you know is there just to confirm it still hurts. Shane's cereal is boring, Shane's training schedule is boring, Shane's shoes lined up by the door are boring, and Shane responds with variations of "fuck off" and "you're an asshole" that become increasingly creative and occasionally surprising. They do not talk about anything that matters. They talk about groceries and whose turn it is to take out the trash and whether Ilya's music is too loud at midnight, which it is.
On the ice, Shane is someone else entirely. Ilya watches him from the upper stands every morning with vending machine coffee going cold in his hand and doesn't tell anyone.
Or: Shane asked Ilya once how you know when it's the right person. Ilya described Shane to him, and Shane didn't recognise himself.
