    Summary

    Based on a tumblr post from @notahungrywish, ending with:

    Just Shane casually assuming he'll always have to share and never be enough for Ilya and Ilya horrified to realize just how resigned Shane is to assuming Ilya will never be satisfied with him the way Shane is with Ilya.

    Summary

    Shane wants to figure out if he's gay before he gets drafted—and no, the way he felt when Ilya Rozanov smirked at him with a cigarette between his lips in Saskatchewan has nothing to do with it. Unfortunately, the random guy he hooks up with to try and make sure one way or another takes a picture, and Shane gets outed before the draft. In the ensuing scandal, he goes seventh overall, to Ottawa.

    It turns out, having the worst thing you can think of happen to you when you're seventeen years old can end up being pretty liberating. And land you an unexpected best friend.

    Summary

    According to the team, Andrew is currently losing a custody battle for Neil against a sport invented by the mafia.

    It’s a running joke in the locker room: Neil cares about Exy, and then, distant second, he cares about breathing. Andrew is somewhere on the list, probably below the new backliner spread Kevin found.

    Andrew doesn't bother correcting them. He knows the difference between a distraction and a destination. He knows Neil runs until his lungs burn to keep the ghosts quiet, but he also knows exactly whose bed Neil crawls into when the adrenaline fades.

    (Or: 5 times the team thought Neil loved the sport more than the goalkeeper, and one time Neil made the hierarchy terrifyingly clear.)

    It doesn't.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander comes to the library because it is quiet, because nobody asks him for anything there, and because there he can be a man choosing a book instead of the story everyone thinks they already know.

    Ilya Rozanov has always been better at noticing things than asking questions.

    The books Shane touches.
    The ones he brings back.
    The hour he comes in.
    The way he says thank you like he is apologizing for needing anything at all.

    At first, they only talk about books.
    It is easier that way.

    Until it isn’t.

    Or: a slow burn librarian AU.
