If I Leave, Will You Follow? by gatekeepslay

Summary
Rumors moved faster than facts.
Brandon Wiebe learned that lesson his first year behind a bench, back when he still believed things like loyalty and leverage meant the same thing.
They didn't.
He stood in his office long after practice ended, the arena finally quiet in a way that felt unnatural. The hum of the overhead lights. The distant scrape of the Zamboni finishing its rounds. His phone sat face-up on his desk.
He hadn’t touched it in twelve minutes.
That alone told him something was wrong.
The list had leaked.
Not officially. Not formally. No press release. No confirmation from the league offices. But enough whispers had reached him through assistants, management, the back-channel texts that only ever meant trouble.
The expansion draft protection list.
And there, somewhere in the digital ether, was a version of it that didn’t look the way people expected.
Or when Ilya has to grapple with the fact that every decision he makes may not be for the greater good of everyone else, and he and Shane must suffer the consequences.

Summary
A big, extravagant celebration would’ve made Shane restless. Too many eyes. Too much noise.
Shane preferred quiet. So that was what Ilya gave him. A day that relished in the quiet intimacies they enjoyed.
Breakfast and coffee together. A swim in the lake. An afternoon making lunch. Ilya even planned a moment of their day for yoga.
It's Shane and Ilya's first wedding anniversary, and they spend the day together indulging the quiet intimacies of the cottage.

Say It Again by gatekeepslay

Summary
This time, when the Chicago center leaned in close enough that their visors nearly brushed, his tone had changed.
What he said then wasn’t about age. It was low, deliberate, and unmistakable, loud enough that only the circle could hear it.
Troy heard it from the weak side. The defenseman behind them stiffened. Ilya caught every syllable.
The word sat there between them, ugly and intentional.
Troy stiffened at the edge of the play. Ilya’s shoulders locked immediately.
Shane didn’t move at first.
He leaned closer instead, visor nearly touching the other man’s, and spoke quietly enough that it didn’t carry beyond them.
“You say that again,” he said, voice steady and edged with something heavier than irritation, “and you won’t finish this fucking game.”
Or when Shane is wound tight after a bad media interview, and the Centaurs' opposing teams Center makes him crack.

Summary
Ilya’s skating wasn’t like him; it wasn’t sustainable. Not smart. Shane pushed off and intercepted him mid-loop.
“You’re overstriding,” he said quietly.
Ilya didn’t slow.
“I’m fine.”
Shane’s chest tightened.
“You’re overcompensating, Ilya.”
That got a reaction out of him.
“Play your game,” he said sharply. His tone wasn’t to be missed. It was small, but wrong. Shane stiffened as the words reached him.
Across the ice, Wyatt visibly perked up like a man spotting live television drama. There it was, the hairline fracture.
Or when Shane and Ilya are teammates on the Centaurs, and the imbalance of power and authority begins to bleed into their personal relationship.

Adopt A Stray by Tammy151

Summary
"I'm calling it 'Adopt a Stray,'" Cliff announced, pacing the rug. "Tomorrow night. Boston vs. Montreal. We announce a new 'tradition.' We say that Boston has noticed that not every team is as close as ours. We say we’re looking for 'strays'—players who aren’t really accepted by their team, always seem an outcast, that need a little extra team bonding or whatever. And the first 'stray' we’re adopting? Is Shane Hollander."

Summary
In Vegas, after they’d said everything right up to the edge of I love you, Shane and Ilya came up with a plan. It was long term, with many, many steps. There might be a spreadsheet somewhere that Shane won’t admit to.
But it’s a plan, nonetheless. Over the summer of 2014, they tweak it and add things important to the both of them. There are even many, extensive, contingency plans.
OR
Thanks to Shane's small lie the first time they hooked up, Shane and Ilya are together years earlier. Now, they have to figure out what to do about it.
