  1. There's another baby photo trend going around social media, and since the last one went over so well, Harris wants the team to try it. It's the one where they put a statement about an adult over a picture of them as a baby, like a cherubic little baby Ilya captioned "THIS IS WHO PUNCHED A REFEREE." But this time, the Centaurs staff are getting in on the action, and Harris shows his own version to the team as an example.

    When Shane sees little tiny Harris, he's struck literally speechless. He's been hanging out with Harris since before he was officially a Centaur. How did he never recognize that the team's social media manager was his favorite teammate from junior skills clinics? How did he not realize, with the benefit of hindsight and also knowing his sexuality, that Harris was his biggest childhood crush?

    (No angst, no cheating, no insecurity. It's all good times and fond memories here!)

  2. The thing about being gay and closeted---gay and closeted and desperate to stay there and terrified that the people around you will figure it out---is that it leads to a lot of walking on eggshells. You wear a purple shirt one time and a teammate says that it's girly, what are you, gay?, and you laugh it off then throw the shirt away and never wear anything purple (or pink, or orange or yellow, just to be safe) again. You can sacrifice that to keep your secret, your friendships, your career safe.

    One locker room joke about bands that wear eyeliner, and rookie Shane Hollander (whose buddy Joe lost a stick of liner in his car on their way to Warped Tour that summer to celebrate the start of his NHL career) panics and says he doesn't listen to music at all, ever. To keep the lie going, he stops listening to music in public for over a decade---until Harris is trying to talk to him about a social media trend and references a song Shane is too distracted to pretend he doesn't know.

  3. Over the summer, Cliff Marlow made the decision to leave the team he won a Cup with, his hometown, and the only place he'd ever known to move to a different country, a terrible team, and basically the middle of nowhere.

    And so far, he hasn't regretted it for a single second.

    Or: a continuation of i know the sound of your heart showing moments from Cliff and Ilya's first season with the centaurs, a couple of shocking revelations (though they really shouldn't have been), and, of course, Cliff Marlow being the most loyal friend anyone could ask for.

  4. “He’s the most adulty,” Bee hisses.

    Shane squints at the group. “What have you done?”

    “Nothing!” Young squeaks which immediately means they have done something. “Uhm, just say hypothetically your washing machine is flooding and you try to open it to drain it, suddenly your entire laundry is flooding.”

    “Is the drain hose connected properly?”

    “Don’t look at me!” Arty whines. “Do I look like I know how to fix a drain hose? I don’t— stop looking at me!”

    or, five times shane is contacted by the rookies for adulting and one time he accidentally gives wildly incorrect advice

  10. Ever since Shane Hollander joined the Centaurs, the team has noticed a difference in their captain.

    Rozy has always been an affectionate, hands-on guy who loves to rile people up. But with Hollander, he’s the worst they’ve ever seen. Always touching him, making suggestive comments.

    Pointy’s mom works in Human Resources, and he’s pretty sure this is a case of workplace bullying. Hazy thinks Ilya has a crush and can’t take a hint. Bood just wants his team to get back to normal.

    Or, in an AU where Hollanov never gets outed, 5 times a Centaur tries to shut down Ilya’s flirting and 1 time a Centaur lets it happen.

  15. The funny thing about the whole thing is that Luca really sees none of it coming.

    Because, yes, maybe he did have a tiny, very little crush on Ilya Rozanov growing up. And sure, maybe he did have his poster hanging up next to his bed. And okay, fine, maybe there had been a time in his life where he watched every single Raiders game with a hyperfocus on a certain player, and then secretly ventured onto his Tumblr feed after to watch and rewatch his favorite gifs from the game.

    Or, Luca Haas is finally settling into who he is as a hockey player and a person. And then a certain rival of his comes bulldozing his way into his life.

    “What are you guys doing?” Troy asks. Then he looks to Shane. “Do I even want to know?”

    Shane shakes his head, Luca doing the same, but Ilya is already answering, “Reading smut Pointy’s girl gave him.”

    “I wanna see!”

  18. The Centaurs rookies go for a "special walk" during one of Bood's bonfires. Chaos and gayness ensue.

    OR,

    This is a one shot from my larger fic, "Growing Outward", which is basically book 7 of the Game Changers series if it was about Luca Haas. In that fic, Luca moves in with Ilya for his rookie year and slowly gets adopted by Hollanov. He also starts to develop a crush on fellow rookie, Eric Young. Some people wanted some scenes from Eric's perspective, so here we are!

    This scene is briefly alluded to in Chapter 13: Navigating of "Growing Outward" from Ilya's perspective, but this can be also read as a cute stand-alone fic if you really wanted to.

    Hope you enjoy :)

  19. After a busy day, Shane gets overstimulated at a Centaurs party. Ilya helps him.

     

    “Do you want to tell me what happened, moy lyubimyy?”

    Shane leans forward until his forehead rests in the space between Ilya’s neck and shoulder.

    “Just a lot,” he mumbles. “Smells. Noise. Too much.”

    “Busy day, hmm? Good thing we have a break now. We can do whatever you want next two days. We can do it all of the next two days. Make the team jealous.”

    He waggles his eyebrows even though Shane can’t see. But Shane doesn’t smile or huff. He just presses harder into Ilya’s shoulder, ducking his head like he wants to hide.

  20. "Okay, so let's say that what you're saying is correct, and he is in fact making heart-eyes at Hollander. That doesn't immediately explain moving to Ottawa for him, does it?" Troy asked, looking genuinely interested in Wyatt's theory.

    "We know Ilya, don't we? When that guy likes something then he is absolutely gone for it; look at how he treats Chiron. Just imagine. He develops a crush on Shane Hollander and then decides to do anything possible to get together with him. Even if it means moving across countries and joining a shit team.

    "You know… I'd be willing to see it." Bood relented. "He did start a charity with him."

    Or, the Centaurs figure out how down bad Ilya is for Shane, not realizing the feeling is mutual, and decide to try and bring them together with ridiculous plans.
