    Summary

    What if the Vegas bathroom conversation happens instead in Sochi Airport?

    What is Ilya is a little braver and a little more honest?

    “Hollander. I do not reply to your boring texts. I tell you to go away. Not because I am asshole…”

    The next words get caught in Ilya’s throat, he feels heat rising in his face as tears prick at the corners of his eyes.

    “Because this is Russia. Because I never forgive myself if something happened to me… if something happened to you. If..” Ilya sniffs, clearing his throat in a vain attempt to regain what little composure he has left, unravelling in the mens bathroom of the departure gates of Sochi airport. The acrid smell of piss and toilet cleaner and stale cigarette smoke lingers in the air. This is not the place to be having this conversation. Not this room, this airport, not this fucking country.

    ‘If what?” Shane asks. His voice trembling, barely above a whisper.

    Ilya opens his eyes. Fuck it, he thinks. If this is how it crashes and burns, if this is how it ends, not with a bang, but with a whimper, in a disgusting, reeking, mens’ bathroom in Russia. So god damn be it.

    “If I lost you.”

    Summary

    Shane Hollander has the highest hockey IQ in the NHL...and actively pretends he doesn't. He's already set himself apart in many ways, and he doesn't need "absolute hockey nerd" added to the list.

    Keeping this secret gets harder as he stops hiding other parts of himself from those around him. He comes out to the Voyageurs (who don't take it very well), he starts hanging out with the Raiders (though no one has a clue about him and Ilya being anything beyond friends), and he feels as if he is losing parts of himself in the expectations others hold for him.

    Ilya notices, and resolves to create a space that his boyfriend can thrive in, even if that means getting him the fuck out of Montreal.

    Set during The Long Game, where Shane and Ilya have made their plan, Shane's parents know about their relationship, and they've started telling people they are friends, but before Ilya officially transfers to Ottawa. That's right folks, this is a "Boston steals Shane Hollander" fic. We need more, and I am here to contribute☺️🫰

    “You don’t have to do that,” Shane said.
     
    “I know.”
     
    “I mean it.”
     
    “I know.”
     
    Shane went quiet.
     
    Ilya’s thumb moved once against his wrist.
     
    “I am doing it because I want.”

    Summary

    "What are you staring at, Marlow?" Hayden muttered, eyes fixed resolutely on the floor as he took another swig.

    Cliff grinned, sidling a little closer until only one or two feet of space separated them.

    "Nothin'."

    "Do I have something on my face or something?"

    "Nah, relax. Just taking it all in," Cliff grinned, "Grabbing a beer with Hollander's right-hand man. Pretty weird, huh?"

    Summary

    Jackie takes one of Cliff’s hands and directs it between her legs. He swallows a moan feeling how incredibly warm and wet she is. “Can you make me come on your fingers?” She whispers into his mouth, “Without waking Hayden? If you do, he’s got a reward for you.”

    OR
