  1. “I’m Anania, this is Gaydar, and I’m going to find out if you are gay, straight or a homophobe, what is your name, and what are your pronouns?”
    “I’m Cliff Marleau.” Cliff smiles, then remembers the rest of the question. “Oh! Uh…he and him. Oh, and his. He, his, him?"
    “Are you asking, or…?” Anania eyes him with confusion.
    "No, it’s him, his, he.” Cliff nods his head with each word, saying them carefully.
    “Are you trying to get the order right?” Anania purses her lips to hold back a smile.
    “Yeah.” Cliff admits.

    OR: Cliff Marleau goes on Gaydar and has several identity crises.

  2. HARRIS: Shane! Ilya! I need you to sign something for me real quick.

    HOLLANDER: Uh— is this about the Centaur’s donation to the Canadian Cancer Society because I thought that came from the organisation not us— why are you recording us?

    HARRIS: No, no, not about the donation. I just have some fans who would like some photos of you signed.

    ROZANOV, suspiciously: What for?

  4. Shane was fine until the fire alarm. Or, mostly fine. He was holding on. Because he knew that once practice was done, he could go home, have a nice long shower, and then hide away in his bed. There’d be no expectations of him, no one looking to him for what to do next, no one needing something from him. They’d been taking from him all day and he could feel the pieces of himself disappearing. He wasn’t sure how he’d managed to run the drills he did during practice.

  5. Gabriella Marchaud runs the box office for the Ottawa Centaurs. She likes spreadsheets, quiet evenings, and the predictable rhythm of processing ticket requests. Then Ilya Rozanov, the team's enigmatic new captain, shows up in her doorway with a hypothetical question about sneaking a guest into the stadium undetected. She expects to never see him again. Instead, he keeps coming back. With questions about chosen family, logistics, and a sadness that looks a lot like her own.

    or

    Centaur's Box office Manager, Gabriella Marchaud just wanted to do her job. But Ilya Rozanov wants to sneak a friend into the stadium to watch him play. Neither expected to end up friends.

  7. Roz’s Montreal girl. The girl who’d one had him show up to practice covered in cat scratches. The same girl, if Cliff has to guess, that Roz has been texting since his fucking rookie season. He decides to go for a hail mary.

    “Bet your girl’s happy about the shorter commute, huh?” Roz’s eyes snap to his, wide with shock. Cliff raises his hand in a placating gesture. “Relax, brother.”

    “Yes,” he says, “she is.”

  9. It’s strictly a business trip. Ilya’s her client, not her friend, and they have meetings with Porsche. She’ll probably see him for a few hours here and there, and she’s content to amuse herself for the rest of the time.

    Ilya seems to regard her trip differently.


    Ilya Rozanov: Have you heard of Berghain?
    Yuna: No, what’s that?
    Ilya Rozanov: Berlin cultural institution
    Ilya Rozanov: Bar and art and music
    Ilya Rozanov: Very iconic
    Ilya Rozanov: I think you will like it
    Ilya Rozanov: I go with my friend a bit later
    Ilya Rozanov: Come to dinner with us, then come for drink?

    Once upon a time I was a reluctant Ottawa fan (passed down from my dad) and then the most wild UFA signing happened in 2018 now I’m scrolling thru twitter reading posts about my captain not sleeping with people mixed in with highlights of my team kicking absolute ass. I love life

  13. Yuna semi-accidentally reads some texts from "Lily" to her son, and comes to exactly the right conclusion. What she does with that conclusion might or might not also be the right thing.

    OR:

    Yuna knocks crisply on the giant metal door, and moments later the man himself throws it open. Rozanov is shirtless and smirking in low-slung Adidas sweats. Then he sees her, and the smirk drops into a shell-shocked gape. He goes, eloquently, “uhhh…”

    Yuna gives him a narrow-eyed once-over. She doesn’t… not see what Shane might be attracted to. “Thank you for meeting with me,” she says, and uses the ostentatious size of his doorway to slide past him and into his open-plan kitchen. “I think we have some things to talk about.”

  15. Cliff Marleau has known about Ilya Rozanov’s relationship since Ilya was twenty-two. 

    It’s not like it was complicated to put the pieces together, is the thing. When it all comes out in public, the Raiders have various different meltdowns – Twitter explodes in a way that is sort of unprecedented, and breaks out of the hockey specific Twitter spaces the same way that the Scott Hunter thing did. There’s shitty headlines and queer space headlines, and it’s a whole thing. And Cliff is pretty sure he’s the person least surprised about it. 

    But here’s the thing. Cliff Marleau has known Ilya Rozanov since the kid was eighteen. 

    OR:
    Marly's not as oblivious as everyone thinks. Throughout his time knowing Ilya Rozanov, he picks up on some things nobody else seems to be seeing. He keeps his mouth shut about it.

  16. Ilya Rozanov is in love, closeted, catastrophically lonely, and apparently incapable of referring to Shane Hollander in present tense. The Centaurs come to a- given the circumstances- reasonable conclusion. Or: Five times the Centaurs thought Ilya Rozanov was mourning his dead wife, and the one time they discovered his wife was actually Shane Hollander. Shane, for the record, is alive and really confused.

    Shane had stumbled onto this corner of Archive of Our Own entirely by accident—or at least, that’s the lie he was going to tell his agent, his teammates, and God until his dying day.

    —or—

    When Dallas Kent creates a massive PR disaster, rivals Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov are handed a corporate ultimatum: fake date each other for the cameras, or sit out a season-long suspension. Now trapped in this shitty situation, they have to map out a public "romance strategy," they have a strict no-touching rule behind closed doors. Too bad Shane is currently treating AO3 tags like a hockey drill, and Ilya is losing his mind.

  18. "Rozanov?" he says, almost without meaning to. Surely he's mistaken and is about to be told to fuck off. Or, even more alarmingly, he is correct, and then he is certain to be told to fuck off, and possibly punched in the face. The man shifts, eyes drifting from his drink up to Scott and— well, there's no denying it. The captain of the Boston Raiders is drunk in Scott's neighborhood dive bar.

    "Fuck," the response is slow, the delayed reaction of molasses spilling out of a jar carelessly knocked over on the kitchen counter. "I must have overdone it. I have summoned the Ghost of Hockey Past."

    Scott could just leave. He could turn on a heel, and leave this drunk asshole to discover on his own what consequences are.

    Because he's stupid, though, because he's nothing if not a responsible captain even when the drunken idiot in question isn't even one of his own teammates, and yes, because a small part of him can't help but love a good train wreck when he sees one, he sits down instead.

    __
    Or, Scott Hunter runs into Ilya Rozanov sometime around midnight after a game, and the two saddest, loneliest, most closeted hockey players in New York end up sharing more than they mean to.

  20. The best players, Stefan's mentor had told him, are like racehorses: highly strung, and easily spooked. Hollander was the best of the best. And his career - the challenge of working with him and his particular routines - had elevated Stefan's standing in the Honorable Siblinghood, so it was as much professional debt as favouritism that had Stefan taking a particular interest in Hollander, by the time he came out to the locker room. Stefan expected to be working with him until one or other of them retired. [...]
    If, after that, Hollander's skate laces were replaced before they started to wear thin, and if the new laces passed through the hands of at least two fully-sworn Senior or Very Senior Equipment Managers before they met his skates, that was within Stefan's discretion. He never even spoke of it, directly, to his team.
