Summary
[Major spoilers for 2x06]
As she lays awake staring at the ceiling, Rupert fast asleep with her, the wind still howling outside, all she can think is that it wasn't supposed to be like this.
None of it was ever supposed to be like this.

Summary
“Shane?” Ilya asks again. “What happened?” His gloveless hand twitches and he lifts it a fraction of an inch towards Shane.
Shane tosses his own gloves to the ice and reaches forward, lacing their fingers together. “You took a bad hit,” he says, gritting his teeth against the fear clawing at his guts. “Flipped headfirst into the ice. Are you okay?”
Ilya groans in answer and squeezes his hand, though Shane can't tell if he meant to do that or not.
Suddenly, there are people all around them. Shane shifts protectively close before he realizes it’s the medical team.
“Hollander, get back to your bench,” someone says, but there’s no way Shane’s going. Even if he wanted to, Ilya’s gripping his hand like a lifeline, eyes finally locked on Shane’s face. Shane isn’t leaving him.

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
Neil is a successful author with a stalker who seems to know a little too much about his past. He needs a bodyguard for his upcoming book tour. Enter: Andrew Minyard.
I've marked this as Graphic Descriptions of Violence out of an abundance of caution, but I don't even come near the source material here.
“Kevin Day told me about you.” The corners of Neil’s mouth lift the barest degree. It should be an unassuming, polite smile. Should be.
Andrew isn’t convinced. He hums and leans back in his seat. “You know Kevin.”
“We go way back,” Neil explains. He’s not giving any signs that indicate he’s lying, but still. Kevin usually holds his liquor better than he holds his secrets but Andrew thought he knew everyone Kevin has known since Palmetto State and he’d remember if this guy had been in the Nest.
“He’s never mentioned you,” Andrew says.
“I rarely mention him,” Neil replies easily.

Summary
Neil gets drugged at Eden's. Again. They get him back quickly, but the parallels fuck with everyone and reveal what happened with Nicky the first time around.
But Andrew remains flawed, so doesn’t know anything is happening until he hears Nicky gasp. Nicky makes a lot of unnecessary noises, so this one isn’t especially concerning—not until Nicky’s hand flashes out to grip Andrew’s arm and he says, “Andrew,” with such strained urgency that Andrew’s head erupts into a riot of alarms.
He follows Nicky’s pointed finger and sees, through the thick forest of bodies, Neil. With some guy. Kissing. He’s out of his stool almost before he can consciously register the scene, leaving the scarred black metal toppling to the ground behind him and shoving into the crowd. Something is very wrong. Neil had been too still. Too loose. An unstringed puppet. Andrew knows what Neil looks like when he wants to kiss someone, and that—that isn’t it.

Summary
Taggie had long since decided she was in this for the long run, and she was sure that meant they would each have to give the other a hand from time to time. It could not always be that Rupert was up while she was down. It was time to return the favour.
Or, a Season Two fic that started life as "Five times Rupert saved Taggie and One time she saved them both". Picks up a month and a bit after 1x08.

Summary
Caitlin snaps her fingers, like there’s a literal light bulb going off in her head. “Why don’t you sign up for one of those sugar baby websites? You know, those dudes who’ll pay you to be their friend or some shit.”
Taggie frowns, wrinkling her nose. “Aren’t they like… asking for sexual favours?”
But her sister’s already got her phone out, pulling up options and websites, actually, seriously considering this as a solution to her woes.
“Not all of them.” Caitlin grins. “See?”

Summary
When Rupert ends up in hospital, there are two options. Either Taggie does as Taggie wants, and helps him recover at Penscombe, or Rupert comes to the Priory, where Declan can keep an eye on them both. Neither option is ideal, but if having Taggie home over Christmas means having Rupert too, then so be it.
If God exists, he is laughing at Declan.

Summary
A month after Rupert and Taggie's kiss, Tony offers her a job: her very own culinary show at Corinium. She shouldn't take it, and maybe she wouldn't, if everything was different. Except she does, it isn't, and there's no going back now.
As it stands, Taggie doesn’t set out to ruin her life. In fact, she intends to fix it. Only it doesn’t work out quite like that.
At all.

Summary
“It’ll be my absolute pleasure.”
With a slow, deliberate pull, his signet slid off his finger.
He plucked a piece of her delectable confection, plunged it into the milk, and lifted the soaked treat towards her lips.
“But I think the chef should have the first taste.”
The cloudy liquid dripped down his fingers.
“If you’re sure,” she rasped.
Alternatively, Taggie gets her own cooking show at Venturer and Rupert learns what it means to be a literal sugar daddy.

Summary
Damen steals Nikandros' thunder.
"I’m going to ride home tomorrow and begin preparations to ask for her hand,” Nikandros says, and Laurent smiles wider and says, “Oh, wonderful,” as Damen leaps to his feet with a thundering crash of chair against flagstone.
“Nikandros!” he shouts, papers flying, arms wide, “This— amazing! She sounds amazing! Congratulations!”

Summary
Damen’s grip on his arm is painful. His face in Laurent’s is ashy and sheened with sweat.
He says, “There was something in my drink.”
(Damen is poisoned, Jokaste is framed, Laurent must find them an heir. He's put it off for so long already.)

Summary
It felt like the hardest thing he’d ever done, stepping towards Damen, helping him from his seat. He had to keep his touch clinical and brief: this demanded the vast majority of his concentration.

Summary
“Have you considered the possibility that Neil has chosen you, but believes you have not chosen him?” Renee says. "Have you ever explicitly told him what you want?”
“Neil knows what I want,” Andrew snaps. This is not Andrew’s fault.
“How do you know?”
Because Neil always knows. He is as fluent in Andrew’s micro-expressions as he is in German and French. He knows which head tilts mean “go on” and which ones mean “shut up.” Without ever asking, he learned what it meant to see Andrew wearing double layers of long sleeves, or taking multiple showers in a day, and learned to hand Andrew the car keys.
That has always been the most terrifying thing about Neil — his patience to wait, watch, listen, learn. The prospect that if Neil were given enough time, there would be no part of Andrew that was just Andrew’s anymore.
“He has to know,” Andrew says.
“Does he?” Renee says. “Have you ever known Neil to assume that he is wanted?”
Five times Neil tells someone that he and Andrew aren’t dating, and one time Andrew uses his words to set the record straight.

Summary
Andrew has always been the one others look to for protection, for saving, for safety. He’s made his share of deals, wielded knives for others, fought battles that weren’t his to fight. Having someone else do the same for him, to want to do the same for him, is a disturbing and frightening prospect. But maybe, just maybe, it doesn’t have to be a bad thing.
Or: 5 times Andrew pushed away Neil’s protection + 1 time he asked for it

Summary
4 times Neil initiates touch with Andrew and 1 time Andrew does.
-
Andrew and Neil are not very touchy, usually only touching to comfort, make out, or get off. But Neil doesn’t mind when the other foxes ruffle his hair, wrap their arms around his shoulders, or pat him on the back, and he thinks he wouldn’t mind if he could do those things with Andrew too.

Summary
On a hunch, Andrew feels Neil’s forehead with the back of his hand. “You’re sick.”
“I’m fine. Leave me alone.” Neil closes his eyes again, pulling the comforter over his head.
Andrew pulls it back down. “You have a fever.”
“It’s a cold.” Neil sits up slowly, painstakingly. “I just need some Tylenol and I’ll be good to go.”
(Spoiler alert: Neil is not fine.)
