    Written by a native Russian speaker living in the US who got here sideways, through a t.A.T.u. song.

  3. Old friends Eric Bennett and Brandon Wiebe realize - oh yeah, that time when we were best friends at hockey camp in high school, actually maybe we were boyfriends? They’ve been casual friends for decades since then, but when Eric comes out publicly, Wiebe reaches out. They catch up and debrief life and hockey as bisexual men while Eric enjoys his first year of retirement and Wiebe navigates his first year as a coach.
    Ilya Rozanov is just delighted to have bisexual friends. Even if they don’t always know he’s bisexual too. And since his love language is being a little shit, he badgers them into bisexual solidarity.

    OR:
    They’re all bisexual and talking to each other

  4. His cottage is devoid of life, hollow of any signs of people. Water droplets drum against the glass panes facing the lake, the low, thick clouds oppressive as the sheets of rain obscure any view past the edge of his dock. It only adds to the feeling of loss, the echo of a misfit strung tight through his veins. 

    Inside his foyer, he can smell the fading scents of his parents, the stale air of a building that's been closed up for seasons, and the sharp, acrid scent of a loneliness that's clung under the skin since before he became an adult; one that's strong enough he's leaving traces of it behind. 

    It's a familiar one, a tinge that's clung underneath his normal neutral redolence of the muted tart bite of a haskap berry, oak, and the edge of winter snow that's seeped from his pores since he touched his first pair of skates. The taste of bitterness in the air that makes him grateful and angry and so fucking sad that it's been a part of his life since he was seventeen years old. 

    OR: After the attempted duo photoshoot that ended with Shane walking out, he finds himself at his cottage, three weeks before the 2014 Stanley Cup finals.

  5. All Ilya Rozanov wants to do is play hockey. He’s pretty sure that it’s the only thing that he’s good at. But, when he’s twelve years old and living through the worst time of his life, Ilya discovers that hockey is not as certain as he had thought it would be. Grappling with a heritage and powers that he doesn’t understand, Ilya’s got to think about life off the ice if he ever wants to escape out from underneath the thumb of his father.

  6. “I turned the other cheek every fucking time. I still got tossed on my ass the second I went too far over the line, and threatened by the commissioner, and told to kill myself on just about every social media platform because my nightmare that I’d get outed came true. And you, after everything you did, got to come out to a supportive team and fans, get a slap on the wrist, and have your happy fucking ending.”

  8. What if the Centaurs had to reconcile Hockey Hollander and Husband Hollander after he signs with Ottawa? Can they do it or are the two sides of one man really that incompatible?

    Shane Hollander takes over in assisting with drills while Ilya Rozanov is on Injury Reserve and the Centaurs get a little taste of what it's like to train like the Canadian Hockey Legend himself.

  9. If Nikolai Medvedev thought of Moscow, he thought of the street corner where he had kissed his husband for the first time, and the lecture theatre where they had met, and the coffee shop where they hadn’t dared to hold hands but had, surreptitiously, pressed their feet together under the table. If Nikolai thought of Moscow, sometimes he thought of his sister, but in the distant way that felt like thinking of a stranger. He hadn’t heard from her in decades - she’d be grown now, and her kids would be grown now. He hoped she was happy and resolved to think no more of her. Then, Ilya Rozanov announces the Irina Foundation.

    or - Irina had a brother. Ilya has an uncle, and he’s living stateside.

  10. He'd thought he was done missing Dallas. He should be done missing Dallas. That bridge isn't just burned, it's immolated. It's been bombed. Torn down for scrap. It's just his subconscious, scraping at a wound that would be healing a lot faster if he could just leave it alone.

  11. "What the fuck," Marley says, as soon as they're back in the living room; he's one of the loudest voices but is by no means alone—Ovi can hear seven other distinct voices over the poorly contained din. "I thought—hang on, he's cursed?"

    "So all the games he played, all the—fuck. What the hell is Montreal doing?" Mamrie asks, like any of them know.

    "Do you think Pike and Boiziau know?" Carmie asks, before the rest of his words are overtaken by everyone else yelling about what to do next.

    OR: In the moments of Shane and Ilya having a conversation in the kitchen, the Bears have one as well. It's far more muddled.

  12. A conversation at a fancy sponsorship event leads to Shane showing Kip an old viral thirst edit of Scott that he definitely only saw because it was so popular. He never looked for it on purpose, or anything. Don't ask how he found it again so fast. And Kip is NEVER allowed to tell Scott that Shane's the one who showed it to him, okay?

  14. In Ancient Troy, a princess of the city and priestess of Apollo was struck with a terrible curse. The prophecies she Spoke would always be accurate, but none would ever believe her but the one deemed Listener.

    Cassandra, Princess of Troy, is not the only person to fall victim to this curse. Hundreds of descendants share her burden. Irina Rozanova is one such descendant. And due to the nature of the curse, none can ever know but her ruthless, ambitious Listener of a husband.

    Until her son speaks a truth so damning and so powerful, it makes her doubt. And maybe, just maybe, makes her brave.

  15. It's an entirely regular Tuesday in February when the news comes out.
    It's TMZ, of course, because it's always fucking TMZ, dropping a grainy image of Shane and Ilya kissing on the deck, Ilya's hand sliding under Shane's shirt as Shane's hands grip his sides, clearly taken using a telescopic lens from somewhere on the other side of the lake to the cottage.
    Part of Ilya is horrified, that their most private, most beloved place has been violated like this, and part of him is, he realizes very guiltily, relieved that this doesn't have to be a secret anymore.
    The largest part of him, however, is scared.

    OR

    Ilya and Shane get outed, and Hayden Pike is an unexpected hero.

  17. He doesn't mean for it to be a secret.

    Or, well. That's his story, at least. It sounds convincing in his head. He practices the words in the mirror, over and over again, at first with a flat affect and then growing into a wearied sort of pleading, an uncomfortable honesty soaking into the lines of his face as he imagines the expressions of his teammates.

    Fuck.

    He doesn't know if he can do this.

    But he knows—he knows—it's a matter of time.

    OR: Shane has a secret. It's a really, really big one.

  18. HOLMBERG, reading: “Who are the Ottawa Foals?”

    YOUNG: This makes us sound like a YouTube dude-bro house.

    LEVIN: The hottest men in the league.

    JONES: We all know it’s Shane. You know it’s Shane based on the fact you have a [BEEP]in’ poster of him on your door.

    LAPOINTE: The Ottawa Foals is the name of the young core on the Ottawa Centaurs. It is mostly rookie players still on Entry Level Contracts but I am on my extension contract with the Cens. So I’m not a rookie anymore.

  19. Since Shane Hollander’s painful public outing, things clearly haven’t been right with the Voyageurs. Still, everyone is shocked when Shane gets himself traded to the Ottawa Centaurs.

    Shane can’t completely explain it, to be honest, not in a way anyone else understands. He just knows this: he lost Ilya, lost the Voyageurs, lost his privacy and his choice. But hockey is still the love of Shane’s life. And he’s not going to lose that, too.
