Summary
“What are these?” Yuna hears Ilya ask. He’s standing with his back to her in front of the armoire next to the couch, looking up at the shelves. She’d been on her way back into the living room with after-dinner coffee when she’d paused at the threshold.
Shane steps toward the armoire, coming up behind Ilya and curling both arms around his waist. “Um, trophies from when I was a kid. Like, minor hockey leagues and tournaments and stuff.”
Ilya moves his head from left to right slowly, scanning the array of trophies and medals on the shelf. “Is big business? Making meaningless awards for tiny hockey players?”
“They aren’t meaningless,” Shane protests, but he sounds a little sheepish.
“Yes, I’m sure the…” Ilya leans in close to read the plaque on one trophy, “‘Sportsmanship Award’ for the U7 Snowflake Classic was very prestigious.”
Shane rolls his eyes, but he’s laughing. “They don’t have awards like this in Russia?”
Or: Yuna bonds with Ilya, one plastic trophy at a time.

Summary
“We had a wedding this weekend, Miss Emma! With Uncle Shane,” Ruby Pike announces during Monday morning circle time. Miss Emma nods and tries to play it cool. It was exciting when the Pike twins mentioned Uncle Shane. Like he was just their dad’s totally normal BFF instead of the greatest hockey player Canada had seen in two decades. But she wasn’t going to fangirl in front of the kids.
“Well, it was a pretend wedding—” Ruby starts to clarify, but then Jade Pike interrupts her.
“Uncle Ilya said if you do the rings it’s a real wedding.”
Miss Emma’s eyebrows shoot up into her hairline. Uncle…Ilya? As in…
“Uncle Ilya said the rings and kiss made it real so we should tell Daddy to get him and Uncle Shane a very, VERY expensive gift,” Jade continues.
There’s that name again. Uncle Ilya. In the same breath as Uncle Shane. With the word kiss. That couldn’t be right…
Or: Five times someone unexpected keeps Shane and Ilya’s secret, and one time they don’t have to. Featuring the Pike twins, Zane Boodram’s pregnant wife, Ilya’s neighbors, and more.

Summary
It’s a tight fit, kneeling in here. A tight fit with Father Brian’s cock against the back of his throat, bigger than Eddie would have expected. If he’d been thinking about things like that lately.
Father Brian twists his fingers into the chain of the St. Christopher medal around Eddie’s neck and stifles a desperate moan as he pulls the tiny metal beads taut against corded throat muscle. And for a moment, Eddie feels holy.
“You can pretend I’m Buck, if you want,” Father Brian grunts, his voice a throaty rasp.
Or maybe what Eddie really feels is damned.
or: Eddie visits Father Brian again and things spiral. The man is a priest, not a saint.

“I’m tired of settling for people who just tolerate me. I want the next person I’m with to like me for exactly who I am. I feel like I deserve that, you know?”
Buck tilts his head to meet Eddie’s eyes, and there’s a soft, uncertain sort of vulnerability in his eyes. Eddie holds his gaze—finds he can’t look away as the moment swells slowly between them like a bubble, iridescent with possibility, something vague yet essential hovering just around the edges.
“You do deserve that,” Eddie says at last, his voice a little unsteady.
or: Buck’s dates keep finding things wrong with him. But Buck’s red flags are all green to Eddie.

So about the other day…
Eddie stares at his text chain with Buck for a few seconds, then quickly deletes.
Sorry about the homoerotic vibes. MY BAD.
Delete.
I seem to be having some kind of quarter-life gay crisis. Which is funny because I’m currently starring on the world’s most heterosexual reality TV show. LOL.
Eddie groans and bangs his head against the back of the couch in his trailer a few times. Did people even say LOL anymore? Maybe he should ask Ravi.

OR
🌹 Eddie is the star of a reality TV dating show and Buck is the show's longtime producer. Will they find love on the most dramatic season ever? 🌹

Rest Your Head on Me, My Dear by Cfr749, farfarawaygirl, fightingwithtruelove, JGoose13, poppypickle

Summary
I had this crazy idea to do ALL of the Chenford Fic Week prompts, but to break up each day into a different period of time in their lives. So I started writing, and realized pretty quickly that I’m actually a very slow writer and couldn’t possibly finish 42(!) prompts. But I kept running with the idea, and luckily some AMAZING collaborators decided to join in on the fun. We didn't quite finish all of the prompts, but I think the spirit of the original idea was still achieved.
Most of these fics can loosely exist in the same ‘verse, and are meant to be snippets that work together to paint a full picture of Tim and Lucy’s lives and their relationship.
July 11: Tim and Lucy as children
July 12: As adults before the meet each other
July 13: The rookie/TO days
July 14: Post-rookie/TO — close friends, but not *officially* together yet
July 15: All AU ‘verse! Lucy is a famous pop star and Tim is her new head of security
July 16: Tim and Lucy finally admit their feelings for each other
July 17: Married Chenford 🥰Hope you enjoy this! Huge thanks the @therookiebook for organizing this year’s Chenford Fic Week!

Summary
Five years ago, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov quietly went their separate ways. They handled their heartbreak differently. Shane cut off his family and friends and focused only on hockey, not that it helped, his game has totally fallen apart. Ilya had the support of the Centaurs, even if they didn't know why they were supporting him.
But when Ilya announces his retirement at the end of the next season, it shakes Shane back to reality. He has one season left to play against the man he still loves; and then, would he ever see him again? As Shane starts to piece his life back together, the biggest missing piece is still Ilya.
Ilya had planned to just enjoy the last season he'd play of professional hockey and obviously try to win another cup. But when Shane reaches back out, he has much more to consider. He never expected to talk to Shane again, but he can't deny that it's everything he's wanted in the last five years.
Can they salvage what they had? Should they even try? How can Shane and Ilya be a part of each other's lives again?

Summary
No serious hockey fan or sports commentator worth their salt would have considered record-breaking Boston superstar Ilya Rozanov to be Shane Hollander’s rival exactly, but sleeping with a man who had a specific offense-related vendetta against him and a wrist shot like a jet engine to back it up was probably ill-advised just the same.
Or, Shane is a goalie. Ilya can’t score.
