Summary
“Ilya Rozanov,” Shane repeats slowly, letting himself taste the words. He grins. “Wow. You’re, like, a really good player. How come you’re in Canada for summer camp? Is that weird to ask? Sorry if that’s weird. I just meant-”
Shane is cut off by a hand on his mouth. He flushes.
“Too fast,” Ilya says. “My English… not good.”
“Sorry,” Shane mumbles into Ilya’s hand. Ilya grins and shakes his head, curls dancing, as he pulls his hand away.
“Is okay. Slow words. Okay?”
This year marks thirteen year Shane Hollander's third summer at Coach Marakov's elite hockey training camp. In attendance for the first time: Ilya Rozanov, visiting from Russia. Shane isn't the most sociable, and Ilya's English isn't the greatest, yet the unlikely duo soon become the best of friends.
It's just one summer, but it makes a world of difference.

Summary
“I’m not so drunk that I don’t know what I’m asking you,” Max said.
Charles swallowed the lump in his throat. “Me either.”
“So, is that a yes?”
“Are you sure about this?” Charles asked instead, laughing unbelievably and shaking his head. “This is not something we do, mate.”
“It could be something we do,” Max said, grinning at him. His fingers flexed on Charles’ hip, and it did something weird to Charles’ brain. When he looked back on this moment later, he would blame Max’s big hand on his hip for what he did next.
Because for some reason... Charles kissed him.
He wasn’t sure why.
OR: the self-indulgent story of how Charles and Max fell in love over winter break 2022, in a classic Enemies to Friends With Benefits to Lovers fic that nobody asked for.

Summary
At the edge of war and discipline, no one teaches you what to do with the quiet parts — the glances that last too long, the silences that say too much, the ache of wanting something you can’t name out loud. Max is too reckless. Charles is too careful. But between field drills, flight missions, and rain-slick nights in rotting cabins, something begins to shift — not fast, not loud, but undeniably.
They were trained to follow orders. Not to feel.
But the heart is terrible at protocol. And sometimes, breaking formation is the only way to survive.Bookmarked by foolspink

Summary
“It’s never felt like that, for me.”
Max looks up.
Thumb rubbing along his palm, Charles keeps his eyes away from him.
“What?”
“Being with you. It has never felt big and loud for me. You were big and loud,” Charles says, with a private little smile. “But being with you, it’s- it was- it is like… like that day on the beach, do you remember? One of our date nights.”
“When it rained?”
Kind of a getting-together fic except established relationship. All will be good before it gets worse before it gets better.
