Silence speaks in the cruelest tongue by Self_cursed

Summary
Shane Hollander isn’t good at understanding the unsaid, but 6 months of silence interrupted by the reminder he’s nothing but boring and fucking annoying is pretty easy to interpret.
It’s over. He lets Ilya have him. Fuck him. And it was fun, and now it’s done. He’s lost the appeal when he gave it up. Message received, the player is done chasing.
He’s going to throw up.
______
Ilya Rozanov and his avoidant technique of “if I don’t touch or say anything, then I can’t make it worse” is used on a spiralling, self-deprecating, repressed homosexual overthinker with anxiety. It does make it worse.

Summary
That’s what made Shane freeze, because if he was quiet and small then he could escape.
Escape what? Ilya? They’re hockey players, they’re loud and rough and brash, it’s normal for them. It’s practically a love language they’ve been learning for over a decade. They barely argue either, nothing real, nothing concrete that isn’t just a softer version of chirping. The only time it’s been real lately was -
Oh, he thinks as he grips the countertop so tightly his knuckles are bone white, I did this.

Or, after the Boxing Day fight and the almost plane crash, Shane and Ilya are finally together again. It takes two weeks for everything they've built to nearly break.

Summary
The game had been long, and Shane Hollander had been a pain in the ass as usual. Not only because of his skill but also because he was distractingly pretty on the ice. These years somehow more so than when they had been Rookies. Or Ilya had just learned how to appreciate it, whatever that was supposed to mean. This newfound appreciation however didn’t help when he had to face off with Shane and he darted out his tongue to wet his lips. Distracting Ilya immensely, his mind wandering off to what Shane could do with that tongue. Or the times when Ilya shoved Shane against the barricade and felt his rival’s body underneath his. Only to be reminded of all the times Ilya had gotten Shane underneath him without all that protective gear.
---
They had been doing this for years by now. And by now they had a routine they stuck to. There was a city where their teams would play each other, there was a text and a suggestion for a place. Then they played the game and riled each other up. Afterwards, they met up in secret to fuck. That was what they did and what Ilya was used to.
Until Ilya received a text after their hook up that disrupted their routine for the first time after years.

Summary
Ilya never imagined himself waking up beside anyone for the rest of his life.
Never imagined wanting to, longing for it so much and so hard it felt like he was either dying or going crazy.
Never imagined he would share a forever with somebody.
Not until that fateful 23rd of December 2008 in freezing Saskatchewan.
Not until a thing as trivial and simple as freckles dusted on cold-kissed skin made time stop and the world start spinning.
Not until this borning, and short, and pretty, and perfect and outstanding Canadian boy who everyone deemed some new hockey God extended his hand to him and stole his fragile heart.
Not until Shane Hollander.Bookmarked by nd26

Summary
Shane pulls back, carefully cradling Ilya’s face. “Maybe we shouldn’t.”
“You don’t want to?” Ilya’s eyes are bottomless; swimming with grief. He says it like he really means, You don’t want me?
“That isn’t what I mean,” Shane says gently, brushing his thumb over Ilya’s cheekbone. Ilya’s eyes flutter shut, as if being treated so tenderly causes him physical pain. Like he isn’t used to it. “You’re hurting. I don’t want you to regret it in the morning.”
Ilya’s eyes open. “I have never regretted a moment with you.”
