Summary
Shane’s brain cycled rapidly through a half-dozen celebrities, porn actors, Grindr profiles, every attractive bartender who’d ever served him a beer, trying to find a comparison for this level of outrageously concentrated beauty in one person, but he was drawing a blank.
The man—Ilya Rozanov, Facilities Attendant, his badge read—gestured around the supply closet. “I help you find something?”

Canon-divergent AU set during the 2017-18 MLH season. Shane Hollander doesn’t have a single Cup to his name when he meets a very hot and very annoying janitor who works at the Metros stadium.- Language:

Still The One by LunarMoonstone

Summary
“Shane has boyfriend?"
“Mom thinks so. He’s dodging my texts, but it definitely seems like he’s seeing someone.”
Ilya's whispered "No" was drowned out by a loud snort from another teammate, who said something like, "Good for lil' bro."
Ilya shouldn’t feel like dying. Should have expected this to happen at some point. Deserved it, even. He had been ghosting Shane for months, after all.
In which Ilya knows he's not good enough to be with his best friend's little brother. He spirals over Shane possibly dating someone else nonetheless.
Alternatively, Ilya will always be the one Shane will still run to.

Summary
"Oh, it looks like you’re doing better! With those scores, I guess we won’t have to meet as often anymore." Shane was beaming, proudly looking down at the transcript. Ilya’s smile immediately dropped.
Needless to say, he scored 20 points lower on the next midterm.
In which popular hockey fuckboy Ilya Rozanov falls madly in love with the university's golden boy Shane Hollander. Somehow, they go from being the talk on campus to becoming that couple.
Alternatively, my take on the Jock!Ilya x Nerd!Shane trope bc it is desperately underrepresented.

Summary
How did he let this happen?
Shane's not sure.
One moment, he was on the gym floor not staring at Rozanov's
gorgeoussweaty body. Then Shane was standing up, but his legs were weak for some god forsaken reason and Rozanov was there, just an arm around his waist to keep him upright, and now...Well.
Now Shane's on his knees on the floor of Ilya Rozanov's shower.
Or
Heated Rivalry, but the boys are forced to have an honest conversation around 8 years earlier than they do in canon.

Summary
Shane Hollander was perfect; the perfect son, the perfect boyfriend, the perfect friend. He had spent years refining perfection, making sure he was the picture of it. It was second nature after all these years; a suit that didn’t quite fit, but that he’d gotten used to.
Enter Ilya Rozanov.- Language:

Summary
Nicky stares at the screen of his phone. He shouldn’t be doing this, shouldn’t still be doing this. It’s been years now. They both deserve better than this. It’s fucking unhealthy is what it is. But Joe’s message is clear as anything, sent not long after Nicky’s plane took off.

Summary
Five years since Joe had gotten down on one knee, the beaten silver ring he’d had made special held out, the perfect size for his finger. Five years since he had looked Joe in the eye, his own wide and terrified, and said no. Five fucking years since he’d fled the party and disappeared with nothing more than a note left on their counter saying he was sorry.

Summary
AU with what would happen in Nicky had been stuck in the Iron coffin and come out- and how the family *slowly* heals.
--
Booker had spent 250 where he had been haunted by dreams of the salt, insanity, and a dark and cold fury. He spent 250 years haunted by the spectre of Nicolo.
Then three months into his banishment after Merrick, on a random Sunday night and drunk in Paris, he didn’t dream of sea or salt. Instead, He dreamt that he knew what it was like to breathe and not have his lungs betray him as his family had done.
He dreamt of Nicolo.
Nicolo was free.

The path to forgiveness does not run smooth.

Summary
An involuntary shudder runs down Nicky’s spine. He’d been doing so well. So well. The problem, of course, is that Nicky, like all people, has weaknesses, and articulate confidence is one of them. Perhaps that accounts for what he says next.
“Prove it.”

Summary
"So this is what my boss meant when she said we must have so much in common," Joe says.
"Yeah, probably," Nicky sighs. "It's...I just remember back when I was in school and there was only one other boy in my year who'd come out—"
"—and everyone assumed that of course you must be into each other," Joe agrees ruefully. "Because you were the two gay kids."
The one where Nicky and Joe make a pact not to sleep together and fuck up the friendship. So, you know, that works out well.

Summary
Nicky is informed that he's going to be marrying Yusuf Al-Kaysani in order to put a feud in the past. While Nicky knows that he prefers men, due to the way he's been raised, he has little to no idea what that entails, and only finds out in sort of a vague way the day before he's due to be wed. Thanks to that explanation, he's terrified.
Thankfully, Joe may be a virgin as well, but his education was a little more comprehensive. And he's determined to make their first night good.

Summary
Booker’s gaze is hollow, but he stares steadily back at Joe. “You have no idea,” he says again. “You said you would walk through fire for Nicky? I would have done that a thousand times for my children, before I ever knew that I would survive it.” He takes a step closer, and Joe instinctively readies himself at the look in his eyes.
“Imagine,” Booker says, his voice low. “Just for a moment, that Nicky is dying.”
Joe punches him right in the face.

Summary
To satisfy Nile’s curiosity and make her part of the family, Joe tells her the full story of how Nicolò di Genova and Yusuf Al-Kaysani became "NickyandJoe". From Jerusalem to Malta and back again. And Nile doesn’t want the PG version.
It’s a story that has been told in this fandom a thousand times before, but deserves to be told a thousand times more.

Alex had achieved the impossible twice - in his own hockey career and in Henry’s, and he didn’t even know it.
He would never know it for a very simple reason.
Alex despised him.
(or, Alex and Henry are rival NHL players competing at the Olympics, and they... try this one?)
