Summary
“Just got the word from the officials, Metros are shutting Miitka down for the night," LeClaire says almost dispassionately. “Third period we’re up against,” LeClaire consults his clipboard, “Shane Hollander. Drafted 2009, current starter for the Laval Maples, posts a .905 save percentage.”
Ilya stays where he is, rolling the name around in his head once, without much interest.
Hollander.
Doesn’t ring a bell.
Inspired by that one twitter post, what if Shane was a goalie?

Summary
"We're setting you up with a billet situation," Fletcher continued. "It's pretty common for first-year players, especially international guys. Gives you a chance to settle in, learn the city, have someone looking out for you."
"Okay," Ilya said slowly, not entirely sure what a billet was, but not wanting to admit his ignorance.
He could guess from the context – he’d heard of rookies being assigned to live with older single players, veterans who could show them the ropes. Maybe that was what Fletcher meant. Connors maybe, he was probably a handful of years older than Ilya. Or perhaps Becker. Ilya just hoped it was someone who–
"You'll be staying with Nikolai Petrov and his family."
The words hit Ilya like a punch to the gut. For a moment, he forgot how to breathe.
"Petrov?" he managed, his voice coming out strangled.
__________________________________________________________________The Bears decide that Ilya should be set up with a billet for his first season. The idea of spending a year living with a man that Ilya is sure hates him is completely terrifying. And yet, it ends up being the best thing to ever happen to him.

frequently, secretly fond of each other. by milominderbinder

Summary
Shrugging one shoulder far more casually than he possibly feels, Ilya says, “I like both. Is secret, okay?”
“Okay,” Hollander says, voice cracking.
He doesn’t say anything else. The air’s so heavy around them that it feels like being in the middle of a scrum, the weight and heat of all those bodies pressing down on you. Danger always feels like hockey; it’s the most dangerous thing Ilya knows, except for this. Everything dangerous in his life involves men’s bodies and just how close he can get to them. Closer than he probably should.
A year after mysteriously dropping out of the 2009 draft, Shane Hollander is signed by the Boston Raiders, right behind Ilya Rozanov. Having the two biggest stars in the league on the same line is great for Boston — but playing alongside their worst rival was never exactly in Shane or Ilya's plans. Especially not when staying away from each other starts to feel just as impossible as getting along.

Summary
“You want me to come with you on the holiday that you specifically booked for you and your girlfriend?”
“Ex-girlfriend,” Sirius corrects.
Remus looks at Sirius searchingly, and once again, several emotions flicker across his face; only this time, his expression lands on something like hope.
“Yeah. Okay.”
or,
Sirius is dumped by his girlfriend and drags his best friend on a holiday across Europe. And somewhere between Berlin clubs, Parisian boulevards, and Transylvanian villages, they fall into each other.

wading in waist-high water by colgatebluemintygel for grumposaur

Summary
Remus is a PhD student and hobbyist baker who finds himself adrift following his father’s death. On a whim, he enters the Great British Bake Off and is swept up in a flurry of curdled custard, shrunken souffle, and under-proved dough. Remus expects to be challenged and to embarrass himself on public television. What he doesn’t account for are the friendships he develops with the other contestants and the deep connection he forms with his teenage crush, Sirius Black: charming ex-boy band member and Bake Off presenter.
or,
Sirius groans, dropping his head back into his hands. “It’s the dough,” he mumbles into the skin of his palms. “It’s the kneading. It’s his hands. They’re obscene.”
Lily laughs. “They are a bit, aren’t they?”

Summary
“Right, well I’d say it’s about time to put an end to this nonsense, wouldn’t you?” James nodded sagely. “You’ve obviously still got some things to chat through with him, but he will talk to you about it, Remus. He thinks the world of you, you know that. But the important thing is that you do talk because nothing’s going to get sorted if you just sit cry-wanking in your room.”
The world is excruciating and enthralling in equal measure. The gang try their hardest to navigate it as real, legitimate adults.

Summary
“He’s coming home, James. What the hell am I meant to do with that? It’s been eight fucking years and we’re meant to... what? Just meet him at the pub? Buy him a drink like-” He shakes his head. “What will I do with my face?”
James takes a sip of lemonade, taking his role as designated driver very seriously as always. He has a smudge of dirt on his nose from ‘wrestling a conifer the size of a bear’, but Sirius doesn’t think to mention it because he’s somewhat preoccupied with his own problems, which, for the avoidance of doubt, are many and insurmountable.
“Your face?”
“Yes, exactly! It’ll give me away the second he sees me. He’ll know right away that eight bloody years has done nothing at all to dampen it down. Dripping with hurt. As if I don’t still feel-”

Summary
Ten years ago, Remus broke the heart of his best friend. Just before that friend became world-renowned pop icon, Sirius Black. Now, his other best friends are having a baby, and they've named both Remus and Sirius the godfather of their unborn child as some convoluted plot to get them back together. They pretend it doesn't work while simultaneously, and secretly, finding their way back to one another.

Summary
Neil Josten let his cigarette burn to the filter without taking a drag.
Well. ‘Let’ was a choice word. ‘Let’ implied there was an alternative option he had considered, but ‘Neil’ and ‘considered’ were two words rarely spoken in the same sentence. Neil didn’t consider his actions for much more than a second before following through with them. Where was the fun in thinking things through? He needed the rush, needed the surge of adrenaline, needed the same feeling of being on an exy court every second of the day.an AU where neil is the one on andrew's medication

Summary
“They’re… chaos,” Remus said firmly. “And chaos is—”
“Rock and roll.”
He looked at Sirius sharply, and for once, matched his grin. “Yeah.”
“Maybe that’s my excuse then,” Sirius said. “I cause a bit of chaos now, and maybe one day, it’ll turn into rock and roll.”After losing his mother at age eleven, Remus has spent the better part of the last four years bouncing from school to school or else running around London and pretending as though he wasn't the kind of well-bred boy his father brought him up to be. Now, with his chances all run out, Remus is sent to Hawkings Independent School as a last-ditch effort to clean up his act. There he meets the very people who will set up the rest of his life, and is forced to confront the pieces of himself he'd long thought had been lost.

Summary
Sirius get's given a wrong number, Remus definitely isn't being sarcastic, and they should probably agree to stay strangers...
*
Rated M for a lot of language, some sexual content but nothing too explicit, mainly jokes/flirting.
Any TWs should be listed at the start of chapter notes, please let me know if I ever miss anything, but this is a safe fic, bar some minor Walburga angst.

Summary
What if Peter Pettigrew never escaped that night in Prisoner of Azkaban? What if Dumbledore and McGonagall found out the truth about Sirius Black right after they came out of Whomping Willow? Sirius soon gets freed after they find out about the truth, and he gets a second chance.
Basically, what if Harry and Sirius (and other characters too) got what they deserved. Harry will get to live with Sirius and Remus and there will be no unnecessary, sad deaths. This fic will rewrite the entire series, starting with the second half of Harry Potter and Prisoner of Azkaban.

“C’mere,” Andrew says.
“But the seat warmer,” Neil whines, even though he’s already unbuckling his seat belt and climbing over the center console.
“My lap is warmer,” Andrew argues, even though Neil has already settled in it.

Summary
What if Neil’s mom had not only stolen Neil away on that night but also Kevin? What if Kevin and Neil were raised on the run together, but instead of watching from afar, they learned to play Exy in every country they ran to? What if Neil and Kevin developed a brother bond super strong from living on the run together and trying to keep each other alive?
-
“Because you’d get to play together.”
He swore he heard Neil’s heart stop and start again in time with his own. He could die a thousand times and never hear a more perfect sentence. He and Neil, side by side on the court. Playing Class I Exy. He wanted it more than he’d ever wanted anything in his life.

Summary
Pettigrew escaped. Lily and James died. Harry was taken to live with the Dursley’s. However, Sirius got his trial and was pronounced innocent.
Sirius and Remus live a (somewhat) quiet life, coping with their past traumas but when Dumbledore comes to offer Remus a job teaching at Hogwarts, there is trouble in their almost-paradise.
[Author’s Note: Basically Sirius and I collectively blow Dumbledore’s bullshit out there for everyone to see. Harry gets to truly know his Godparents, and maybe, just maybe, there is a happy ending.]

Summary
Neil Josten's father is dead. His mother stopped being useless and they're trying for a new start in a small town in buttfuck nowhere called Palmetto. Meet his neighbours, Andrew and Aaron Minyard.
Andrew is waiting for his past to come back and bite him in the ass but someone new has moved in next door and it's not the Spears moving back in.
Neil runs a lot, like a LOT (but thats canon) and gets roped into joined the Palmetto Foxes track and field team
Andrew used to like running, but he stopped. Andrew and Aaron used to be close but they barely talk anymore. No one knows why only that when the house next door became occupied when the twins were 12, the distance started to grow.
Andrew was content with how things were going, he was keeping an eye on his brother, he had his car and he had his knives. So why the fuck did Neil Josten have to come and fuck things up for him in the worst and best way?

Summary
"It was Riko’s fucking idea to go out tonight though, so Neil isn’t even going to pretend he’s at fault for this. Riko has done this before, hired people outside the Nest, it takes away the few days he gets outside of the Nest, effectively ruining the small shred of freedom he and the rest of Riko’s perfect court are provided. It’s just that tonight, Neil wasn’t in the right headspace to just take it, and now he’s in a jail cell and someone’s fucking dead.
Neil doesn’t even remember if he did it or not."
