Summary
“You know, that’s what family does, babe. You think about all the reasons you love them… and all the reasons they love you, and then you decide to be safe. For them.”
Coda to 3x15 "Hookman" - because we all know Danno was actually pretty upset about Steve being an idiot drawing a sniper's fire; hence the yelling. I just wanted to build on that and get some closure. Also, Gracie really loves her Uncle Steve. There are lists involved.
Can be read as McDanno pre-romance or just bromance. :)

Summary
There’s things about being a Cupid that most people don’t understand. How it’s more than just shooting a few strategically aimed arrows, pulling at the tightly wound string and letting the love-tipped objects land where they’re supposed to. Callum takes pride in his work, taking great preparation and observing his charges to make sure he sets them up just right.
On one of his latest assignments, he meets Ben.
Cupid!AU where Callum meets a jaded Ben and shows him what it's like to love again. (Prying his fingers loose, one by one.) -

#5: catch and release
(based on the spoilers for upcoming episodes)
“This ain’t about who you are, though, is it?” Callum shook his head, bit his lip to keep from screaming. He tried to use his hands to convey the message clearly, wishing he knew how. “Nah, this was you trying to prove something. To show the world you’re still big bad Ben Mitchell, even when your hearing’s gone.”
Ben looked thrown by that. Like he hadn’t even realized that’s what it was until Callum spelled it out for him.
“… and because of that, you got reckless.” He continued. “Stupid. A-and you got caught for it.”

Summary
He’d winked like an idiot, more than happy when Callum had leaned in slowly, kissed him sweetly and touched the side of his face in that way he did. His warm, big hands enveloping all of Ben, making him feel safe and warm. Loved.
Now he wishes he’d been braver. Had been strong enough to look Callum in the eye and utter the words that’d been on the tip of his tongue for months. Of course I love you, Callum. I’ve loved ya for a long time.
Or: my take on the upcoming Valentine's Day episode and all the spoilers surrounding it.

Summary
“So,” Ilya says, dragging the word out. He’s swiping at non-existent crumbs on the counter, avoiding his eyes. “You have dinner at parents on Christmas, yes?”
“Yeah.”
Ilya nods. “I can house-sit while you are away. Make place pretty, if you have decorations. Make it less boring.”
Shane’s eyebrows fly up. “What? You don’t want to come with?”
Finally, Ilya looks up at him. Hesitantly, he asks, “You want me to come with?”
Frowning, Shane says, “I– yeah. Yeah, of course. You think I invited you here just so you could spend Christmas alone?”
Looking away, Ilya shrugs. “I am intruder here, Hollander. You have family. I do not. Makes situation… difficult, maybe. You forget the world thinks we are rivals.”
“Not difficult,” Shane says immediately. “You want to come, you’re coming.”
Or: Ilya's in Montreal alone during the week leading up to the Winter Classic. Shane doesn't let him spend Christmas alone.

Summary
“Ilya,” Hollander breathes, which—Ilya isn’t sure Hollander has ever called him by his first name. Surely he has sometime in seven years of acquaintance? But the sound of it is novel, unfamiliar.
And far from unpleasant.
Then Hollander says, “Baby,” and Ilya knows for certain that he’s never called Ilya that, because it takes the air right out of Ilya’s lungs and makes his guts twist and fuck, he would have remembered if Hollander had ever called him that. Especially in that reverent tone.
It’s nice.
Ilya doesn't remember being married to Shane Hollander. Probably, he should tell someone.
He decides not to.

Summary
"Rozy," Brian, the team doctor says, "talk to me, buddy. That puck clipped you pretty good, how’s the pain?"
Ilya blinks. He clenches his jaw against a wave of nausea. He rests his cheek on the ice, and the cold helps a little.
"Bad. Very bad." He swallows. "Is Shane here?"

or, in the final MTL/BOS game of the year, ilya takes a puck to the head.

Summary
“Ilya,” Shane whispers. “Ilya, baby, can you open your eyes?”
He’s met with silence, and the frantic tremor of his heart turns into an earthquake. The ice beneath him seeps into his veins and freezes his blood. Panic claws at his chest, scaling his ribcage like a ladder and lodging in his throat. He can barely breathe around the terror.
“Ilya, you need to open your eyes. You need to look at me.”
