Summary
Today didn’t matter because Keiji could ignore today if it meant he would be happier tomorrow. One more day and he would rest. Just one more day, for twelve more years, until he had finally amounted to something that resembled enough.
Akaashi Keiji didn't want to die. He wanted his life to become something worth living.

"They breathed happiness into each other's mouths, love into each other's lungs, and the starlight rendered them eternal."
Takashi Shirogane knew he loved Adam from the moment he first saw him up until the day they died. Adam was his first love, his first kiss, his first time. They loved and they hated, but they always did everything together.

Summary
Maybe if the video ended there, Shane thought, it would be okay. Okayish. Still incriminating. Still a fucking disaster. Still embarrassing, to have his breakup with this beautiful actress filmed and disseminated on Reddit of all fucking places, but not a nail in his coffin, burying him alive. But the video didn’t end there.
“Can I ask if you’ve ever been with another guy?” she had to ask.
And he, tears visible in his eyes, had to nod.
Just once. Just a single nod.
Why did he have to nod?
“Have you ever told anyone that before?” He shook his head. “Was it different? With a guy?”
“Of course.”
Of course.
“Was it better?”
“Yes.”
+++
Shane’s conversation with Rose is secretly recorded. Months later, after the All-Star game and Ilya’s confession in Russian, the video gets leaked online. Shane is outed to the world while Ilya is in Russia, and must now finish the 2016-2017 season with the entire world in on his secret.

Summary
“He looks so happy,” Jackie said, joining him at the railing. She rested her head against his shoulder, wrapped an arm around his waist. “It’s really nice to see.”
“Yeah, it really is,” Hayden said. He sighed heavily. “Fuck. I’m gonna have to start liking Ilya Rozanov, aren’t I?”
Jackie giggled, rubbing his back in a placating manner. “I’m afraid so, babe.”
OR
5 times Hayden started understanding Shane and Ilya's relationship, and the 1 time he finally told Shane he did.

Summary
A scrape of blades near the boards made Shane start. A kid coasted up, tapping the glass with a glove. He was maybe ten, lean with messy dark hair plastered to his forehead, cheeks flushed. He had Ilya’s eyebrows, Ilya’s stubborn chin, Ilya’s dare-you look already sharpened.
“You spying on Coach Rozanov?” the kid demanded, planting one mittened hand on his hip.
Shane opened his mouth, nearly laughed at how the question mirrored the suspicion roiling inside him. “Just watching,” he said softly.
The boy’s eyes narrowed. “He’s the best,” he declared, daring contradiction.
“Yeah?” Shane’s voice barely stretched beyond a whisper.
“Even hurt,” the kid continued. “My dad says he’s a mean jerk, but he showed me how to shoot so it doesn’t wobble.”
Overhearing the cruelty aimed at an injured Ilya wrecks Shane. Seeing him patiently tie a child's skate wrecks him even more.
The world called Ilya Rozanov a liability.
