I'm Reading Your Lips (You're Speaking My Language) by some1_around

Summary
Rozanov cocked his head. “You speak Russian? Or just the curse words?”
“Yes, I speak Russian,” he snapped, defensive and angry. He knew that it had been a mistake to even try to be friendly with Rozanov. “Why? Do I not look Russian to you?” He scoffed.
“No, not really,” Rozanov said. Some of his teammates laughed, although they mostly looked surprised that Shane was speaking to them at all. Rozanov didn’t laugh, though. “Are you Russian?”
“Go fuck yourself.”
+++
Despite an inauspicious start, when Russia’s Ilya Rozanov learns that Canada’s Shane Hollander is fluent in Russian at their first World Junior Championships tournament, it changes everything and sets them on a different course. Instead of being branded as rivals from the very beginning, Ilya and Shane start off as friends.
And, after all, a little friendly rivalry never hurt anyone, did it?

Summary
"We are so excited you guys are here!" she chirps. "You athletes have such erratic schedules, it's hard to get one much less two of you in the room, so thank you for making the time to join us today. It'll be super fun, I promise—everyone has a blast reacting to thirst tweets."
Shane stops in his tracks and looks up. "Sorry, what?"
The crew member meets his gaze, blinking. "Oh, did you not know that's what we're doing today? It was on the calendar invite…"
"Hollander," Ilya says, also turning to Shane. "What is 'thirst tweet'?"

Summary
They’re standing in front of the table of items being auctioned: a variety of MLH memorabilia, box seats for the season, a bottle of wine that’s probably worth more than Shane’s signing bonus—
—and a piece of paper, with six words printed across the top in big, bold letters:
HOLLANDER AND ROZANOV WINNER’S ROOM PERFORMANCE.

Shane’s got to balance being a freshman, a baby gay, and rushing for the weirdest frat on campus.
Plus, unrelatedly, there's this really hot Russian guy.

"If there's a chance for me/Then I don't care" by Rozander (EvanesDust)

Summary
[excerpt]
"So, you have concussion?" he asked, hating his broken English. But his throat was tight, choking him, and his head was a mess. The less he spoke, the better, or else he might actually cry."Yeah. I blacked out a couple of times, I guess. I don't remember the game." Shane let out a derisive laugh and Ilya didn't like the sheen of tears in his eyes. "I don't even remember my own team right now. Post-traumatic amnesia."
Ilya's heart stopped.
Amnesia?
"So you do not…" Remember me? Ilya wanted to ask, but he couldn't voice the words. Not with his throat constricted. Not when his heart raced. Everything faded away as white noise filled his head. Tears stung his eyes and his nose burned for some reason.
Shane didn't remember him.
