    Summary

     

    Step 3: If your friend doesn’t bring up their sexuality on their own, try subtly hinting that you know.

    “So, Jackie has this friend,” Hayden begins.

    “Hayd, I told you I don’t want to date right now,” Shane protests.

    “Well, this is a guy friend. Maybe you’d want to meet him?”

    Shane frowns, clearly confused. “Okay? Is he a fan or something?”

    “No, but he could be your fan,” Hayden says with a wink.

    “What are you talking about?” Shane asks, clearly not picking up any hints. Hayden sighs.

    “Never mind, let’s go to practice,” he grumbles, resolving to try again later.

    Or: Hayden Pike tries his best to be an ally. It would be a lot easier if Shane would just come out already.

    Summary

    Several years into Rozanov’s career, ESPN hires a reporter fluent in Russian.

    Suddenly able to answer questions fluently and with a wide vocabulary, Rozanov’s interviews go viral. Hockey fans around the world get a new look at what they thought about Boston’s #81. This changes not only his public persona, but his whole life.

    Inspired by the look on NBA star Nikola Jokić’s face when he was asked a question in his native Serbian and my own struggles learning a new language.

    Summary

    Four times Ilya Rozanov reminded everyone exactly who the fuck they were dealing with (spoiler: still an asshole, still elite, still not going anywhere), and one time he didn’t have to be anything except soft.

    Or being out didn’t make him nicer. Being married didn’t make him softer. Being older didn’t make him weaker. And being a father? Well. That’t when things get complicated.

    (He’s really good at that last part. Don’t tell anyone.)

    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.
