Summary
He’s already in the room, shutting the door behind himself as quietly as he can before he realises that not only is there someone other than Shane in the room, but there are three someones other than Shane.
And, as if he hasn’t already fucked up spectacularly, the someones happen to be the Hollanders and Hayden fucking Pike.
// or; Ilya visits Shane in the hospital and meets his parents. He's traumatized and grieving, everything hurts, and Shane takes after his mother.

Summary
“No,” he says, smiling gently, like he doesn't know how irritating he's being. “Is my room first, da? You should speak with front desk.”
Hollander stares at him.
And then he starts to laugh.
“You ask the front desk,” he shoots back, in between his odd wheezes. Ilya's heart starts to pound in double time, because this is not—this cannot be Shane Hollander playing bed chicken with him. Their competitiveness is fierce, to be certain, but surely, Hollander would be the bigger person, no? “This is my fucking room, Rozanov. Wild horses couldn't drag me away.”
OR: Ilya's apartment is under construction. Shane's in town for a game. It'd be a shame if they somehow had the same hotel room.
[or, or: we need some more goddamn 'there was only one bed' out here.]

Summary
“I’m sorry, but my answer is no. Someone else might be willing to switch if you ask.”
“I can’t believe—this is unacceptable! I’m going to call the flight attendant over and get this sorted out right now!”
Flustered and cornered, Shane injects his Captain Voice into the conversation. “Ma’am, I understand that you’re upset, but I paid for this seat and am going to stay here. You’ll have to find someone else willing to change places or just fly with the seat you booked. I’m sorry I couldn’t help you.”
She hisses like a goddamn tea kettle, and starts to say, “You are the most selfish man I’ve ever—” when another voice behind her says, “You are blocking my seat. Move.”
Shane and the woman turn to assess the new arrival. It turns out that his seat partner is well above six feet tall, ripped as hell, and knows how to deliver an excellent bitch face. He’s also the hottest man that Shane has ever seen in real life, including a chance run-in with Jensen Ackles at a Stars game.
Or, still!famous Shane meets non!famous Ilya on a cursed flight from Ottawa to Boston and kind of (totally) falls in love with him at first sight (and first chirp)

Summary
He only realizes he’s doing it when it’s too late to stop.
He’s standing in the drink aisle of the grocery store, checking the expiration dates on the cans of Coke, mentally cross-checking them with Boston’s away game schedule, and the reality hits him like someone shook one of those cans and popped it open. A snap. A fizz. A mess.
Shane is making space for Ilya.

Summary
“Holy shit, dude,” Hayden whispers, too loudly, as he pulls Shane away. “No way you were just talking to Ilya Rozanov.”
“Uh, yeah. We just met. Wait, did he lie to me?” Shane asks, looking back over his shoulder where Ilya is now standing next to a short but very muscular woman with long black hair. “What does he play?”
Hayden stops, so Shane does too.
“You don’t know who that was?”
Shane makes a face that says ‘no shit’, and waits for an answer.
“Dude. You are so innocent. Ilya Rozanov, ‘Russia’s Greatest Love Machine’?” Hayden says, like it’s obvious.
Shane looks at him blankly, and then Hayden laughs. Not like, a chuckle. He full on cackles, bending over like he can’t even contain it. “Man, he’s like prolific.”
“At what?” Shane snaps, because he’s getting really sick of not being in on the joke.
“He’s a porn star, man.”
“A-” Shane says, swallowing thickly. “What?”
---
Ilya is a porn star, Shane is a hockey player, and their paths cross.

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
Jannik had been lounging in the locker room, chatting with other players, when the news broke. “Star of Real Madrid, Carlitos Alcaraz, comes out as gay in heartfelt Instagram post.”
Jannik recalls the way his head perked up to look at Stephanos, puzzled. Carlitos Alcaraz, one of the youngest Ballon d’Or winners in history, main guy at the biggest football club in the world, and most of all, known womanizer, gay?!
Or,
Football player Carlos Alcaraz comes out. Tennis player Jannik Sinner observes from the sidelines.Bookmarked by nails

Summary
One particular comment had caught his attention.
@ballista : three sure things in life: death, taxes and Sinner absolutely crushing Carlos in his articles lol!!!!!!
Carlos’ curiosity had taken over, and he had found the article again, just to check the author.
Jannik Sinner.
So that was the stranger’s name, then.
His thumb had flown over the name, before clicking on it.
According to his profile, Jannik wasn’t only a tennis journalist. He had many contributions for the Formula 1 section, and also a few for the downhill skiing one. Most articles he had written, though, were about tennis, seemingly regularly for a few years. Carlos had taken a quick look over them, and had realized a few of those articles were about him- or, at least, talking about him. He had clicked on one of them, reading it quickly, before realizing they had been written with the same tone: always laudatory of his opponents, always harsh on him.
OR. Carlos meets a red-haired stranger in an elevator. Little does he know it's going to change his life forever.

Summary
“I hate that I’m number one with everyone, but never with you.”
He’s talking before thinking, now, and that never happens. He always thinks several times before opening his mouth, always measured, always collected. What is happening in the backseat of this car? He feels like he’s a man possessed.
Carlos squints his eyes, and the words flow out of his mouth easily. Why do they always come out of his mouth so easily?
“You’re number one to me, always,” Carlos says.

With no one to stand by his side after the Council's ruling, a disgraced Jayce Talis enlists as an Enforcer and swiftly climbs through their ranks until he is assigned a mission befitting of the golden boy of Piltover's Police Force.
When a cadre of Enforcers barges in to the Last Drop demanding to speak with Silco, Viktor does everyone a favor by intervening in the conversation between them and his little sister before it can escalate to explosive porportions.

Summary
The first letter Gale gets from Bucky is about a unicorn.
-----
Gale’s used to John rambling when he’s drunk, usually while hanging off one arm hooked around Gale’s shoulders, but there’s a different note to his written word. When he’s drunk in person, he likes to pester Gale with questions, get Gale to talk about himself. When it’s just John and a pen, it seems he simply shares every little thought that crosses his mind.
He lets the letter close on its own again, staring down at his eggs until he hears “Good morning, Major!” from outside the mess hall. Hurriedly, Gale tucks the letter back into its envelope and the envelope into the pocket of his trousers. By the time the doors swing open, John sauntering in like he owns the base and the mess and the doors themselves, Gale’s sure all knowledge of John’s words—of that lipstick print pressed onto paper beside John’s name—has been wiped from his face.
All the same, he can’t resist taking a peek. John’s walking on air. Gale smiles.

Summary
This started life as a fill for a prompt found while scouring the kinkmeme:
"Five times the morning after was hideously awkward/shouty/involved one of them doing a runner before the other woke up - and one time it was different."
It has evolved from there, and while it no longer fits the prompt, it's about a relationship full of awkward and shouting and people doing a runner, and how it becomes something different.
