    Summary

    Shane truly loves hockey. And he spends every free minute on the ice—at practice, at the local rink, or even at the lake behind his house. One day, he encounters a new boy on the ice. He’s a fantastic skater. Shane is immediately intrigued.

    *

    Irina Rozanova, struggling with depression, flees from her husband’s abuse and relocates to Ottawa with her sons. Ilya isn’t thrilled to be stuck in boring Canada … until a freckled boy challenges him to a game of one-on-one hockey. Suddenly, Canada isn’t so boring anymore.

    Or: A very self-indulgent Shane & Ilya childhood-friends AU that nobody asked for, but that I’ll write regardless.

    Summary

    “What makes him your best client?” Kip asks.

    “He’s nice, his dog is well behaved, the apartment is insane, and he has a very set schedule. It’s not a daily gig, it’s kind of random. You have to stay at his place in the Upper West Side a few times a week, but again, the apartment is amazing. He’s some kind of athlete? So the schedule is also nuts. But he gives, like, six months of dates in advance.” Maria answers.

    A set schedule of dates works for Kip, who is, these days, trying to make his own schedule.

    “And,” Maria smiles wide, “I think you’ll like him.”

    That beatific expression will come back to him, five days later, when he meets Scott Hunter for the first time.

    ---

    Kip Grady is a PhD student who takes a side-gig walking Scott Hunter's dog. Along the way: the precarity of academia vs hockey; keeping something good at arm's length despite an innate desire for safety and love; gratuitous metaphors about both.

    Summary

    This place wouldn’t be different, he was sure of it. After six foster homes, Willie had stopped being scared of these places and just got tired and reserved. Be polite, be on guard, and don’t get too upset when they send you back.

    “The Molinas are a nice family. Since group homes don’t seem to work for your case, maybe this will be better.” She already said this. Multiple times. He’ll believe it when he sees it. “Promise me you’ll make an effort?”

    Summary

    Being a professional athlete in a contact sport is an exercise in enduring pain. Sometimes you get benched for three weeks because you have a broken cheekbone after you get hit in the face with a slap shot. Sometimes you play through a strained quad, a bruised shoulder, a mild fever. Most times, it’s just the constant, unending soreness that comes with pushing your body to its limit every single day. Every athlete had an injury they hated most, though, one that’s particularly painful or recurrent or just annoying. 

    Ilya fucking hated injuring his ribs. There is almost nothing you can do with your body that doesn't involve moving your torso, and the pain is deep, throbbing, and gets just a tiny bit worse every time you breathe. Sitting up hurts, lying down hurts, walking hurts, and worst of all, coughing fucking hurts.

    or

    Ilya is sick and injured in the off-season. Luckily, Shane loves him so very much and is there to take care of him.
