Your Dog by @bluegrasshole [E 9K]
Did you hear about Lauretteās boy? Cliff, the oldest one. He got drafted to the Boston Raiders. Heard heās doing well for himself.
crossfire by makemegentle [E 10K]
In 2014, Ilya and Marleau went to Paris on a girl to celebrate the Stanley Cup win. Ten years later, on a balmy evening spent in the Hollander-Rozanov Ottawa home, Marleau reminisces and, courtesy of Shane and Ilya, re-enacts. Itās just a game of play pretend.
Give You All You Need by @pillow---forte [E 4K]
Before heās even realised heās doing it, Haydenās opened Shaneās text thread with Rozanov and scrolled way back. Just to check. Just to make sure thereās nothing, like, concerning. Because thatās his job as Shaneās best friend. To make sure heās OK.
Before a Fall by tyrsdayschild [T 2K]
It's almost Pride Night at the Bell Center. Shane isn't happy about it.
nothing makes me feel as good by @bitterbloodyorange [T 4K]
Shane had poured everything into his team (possessively: it wasĀ hisĀ team) and he asked them to give it back that day, so they delivered. When Shane smiled at them afterwards, it felt like love.
predator instinct by @elumish [T 2K]
Kip likes Hunterās teammates more than he expected to, which is to say not all that much. Some of them are goodāsome of them are greatāsome of them are terrible, and a lot of them just have no idea how to talk to a queer person.

Luca has a crush. Shane gets territorial.
Gossip Girl by @northisnotup [M 6K]
Coming out to the Pikes was not the plan for the evening. It wasn't even in the top 10 list. And yet, here Shane is, sitting on their living room floor, having fought Rose Landry to get his phone back, and making a Face. He knows he is making a face, he can feel his forehead scrunching and his jaw aching and he can do nothing about it except wait forā "So who's Lily?!"

A scandal breaks. Rose drives to Ottawa, to be not-alone.
the border by @agoodsoldier [T 2K]
Scott Hunter sees himself in Shane Hollander. Many years later, he sees Shane Hollander outed publicly on the internet.
respectability politics by @shanesmouth [E 3K]
Ilya didnāt go to the cottage, and he's feeling pretty Byronic about it. Scott Hunterā¦really does not have that context.
Rook by @catalpa-waltz [M 2K]
Scott felt it ā a cold hard tug under his left ribs, a powerful ache of familiarity. It had been a long time since heād seen so much of himself in the new crop of players, who seemed to get younger and younger every year. But Hollander wasnāt much like his peers. Scott couldnāt decide if he was more or less mature than the rest of them, but whatever he was, he was different. Marked. It gave him the look of a decidedly soft target.

Scott takes Ilya Rozanov to the winnerās room.
#noticing by @theburialofstrawberries [T 3K]
The first thing Svetlana notices as sheās being introduced to the First Couple of North America is that Rose Landry has great style.
a new orbit by walkingthroughwindows [M 6K]
Svetlana quits her job. She can't quite explain why.
that's great, it starts with an earthquake by @trippedlaces [T 6K]
Across the NHL, five players wake up to the news of the FanMail video. There are a lot of group chats, some bad advice, a team who just wants to find their captain, a misunderstanding about how a green screen works and the kind of life-changing news that's too big to be watched on a small screen.
I may be bad (but I'm perfectly good at it) by @gurlsrool [M 6K]
5 times someone's shocked to learn that Shane's a little freaky, +1 time someone isn't.
saturday night & the rest of your life by @eemolu [T 2K]
Ilya Rozanov and the gay magazine profile he so dearly deserves.
