    Summary

    Ilya came out to Irina when he was 14, by the time he was 15 she decided she wanted a safer and better life for her son outside of Russia. The Vetrova family friends in Ottowa agreed to take Ilya in when he turned 16 and that was when Ilya joined his childhood best friend Svetlana in a Canadian high school.

    How will Ilya navigate joining a new circle of friends and moving onto college when his eyes won’t move from those beautiful freckles and those piercing brown doe eyes that he sees from across the locker room?

    Time will tell and be a challenge that Ilya will more than happily take on….

    (Or: High School/College Au where Ilya notices Shane his first day of hockey practice in high school and a friendship that crumbles soon after moves on to a University house share that takes others by surprise and some others praying by the luck of fate)

    Summary

    "You are very pretty you know. I like your...what are these called?" He reached out to touch Shane's face, and Shane flinched, lurching backwards in surprise. Only Rozanov's hand on his wrist stopped him from crashing into the people behind him. Rozanov's hand was warm on Shane's cheek, fingers softly tracing the lines of his cheekbones. Shane swallowed, the motion difficult - all the saliva had seemingly vacated his mouth. He felt himself blushing furiously.

    Barely able to stammer out an answer, he responded, "Do you mean...you mean my freckles?"

    "Ah yes, freckles. Very pretty. They look like stars."

     
    Shane gets signed to the Boston Bears. Everything's great, except for one of his teammates - an annoying, stuck-up Russian man with a huge ego and habit for irritating the hell out of Shane. Can Shane learn to get along with Rozanov, and navigate the confusing and complicated emotions that swirl up whenever he is in his presence?

     
    (also Hayden's there because it wouldn't feel right without him)

    Summary

    This thing that they have—whatever the hell it is—it’s good. It’s easy. It feels like the only thing keeping Ilya afloat sometimes.

    He can’t let it get to a place where it’s more than just a good, convenient fuck and some fun teasing in between. Even if sometimes, in brief moments of tenderness, it already feels like it’s more than that. Or at least like it’s something that can be, if they just let it.

    But they don’t. They can’t.

    Although sometimes, Ilya does find himself giving in to the urge to look at Shane just a little bit longer, to let his touch be just a little bit gentler, more reverent, than what it would be for something as casual as they claim this to be—albeit sparingly.

    Sometimes, just for a moment, he lets himself indulge. He lets some of that affection bleed out of him because he feels like he’ll implode if he doesn’t.

    But he always catches himself before it can linger.

    ***

    or

    where six months of ghosting is shane’s final straw and he cuts contact with ilya after vegas, tired of the wall that just keeps getting higher each time he tries to chip away at it

    so ilya is forced to reckon with his feelings much sooner

    Summary

    Trying to escape the dark thoughts Ilya is having after losing a match against Toronto, he goes out with his teammates to get drunk. Either because he was mad at Shane or at himself, he ends up fucking a boy. A fucking waiter.

    Just because he looked just like Shane.

    Hudson Williams becomes his worst nightmare. 10, 000 to keep the secret. Just to start.

    Would Shane forgive him?

    Would he lose everything?
