Summary
"Pulse now under control, and once more in the headspace to feel sure of himself, Todd lets his eyes skim over the man at the front of the theater. The dim house lights bathe his features gently, highlighting his sharp cheekbones and bright smile when he turns to speak to the director, who's sitting beside him. Todd hums, thinking, very privately, that the man had a nice profile, handsome and strong. His smile seems self assured and warm, cutting through the darkness blanketing the theater and making Todd pause for an embarrassingly long moment.
'He wouldn’t even need me if he were on stage,' Todd thought, 'he would light up all on his own.'"A fic in which Todd, now head of the lights crew at a small New York City theater, finds himself falling head over heels just days before opening night.

Summary
On July 4, 2018, Ilya announces to the world that he has already played his last home game on Boston Raider ice. He's an Ottawa Centaur now, for better or for worse.
Most all of Boston Twitter agrees it's for worse.
Shane Hollander, watching alone on his couch at the cottage that Ilya just left a few days ago, knows it's for the better. And he thinks he knows that Ilya thinks it's for the better too, that Ilya's excited for the move, excited to be closer to Shane. It's just hard to remember that when Ilya looks so distracted and sad in the wake of the news breaking.
But one day, Shane's going to promise this man that he'll be there for him through better or worse, so he may as well start practicing now.

Summary
The Swiss National League doesn’t care about the legendary Hollander-Rozanov rivalry. When the MLH can’t negotiate with the Hockey Players’ Union in time to prevent a hockey lockout at the start of the 2015 season, the Zürich Lions jump at the chance to sign both Shane and Ilya to short-term contracts. For four months in Switzerland, they share a team, a line, a house, and a bed.
Then the lockout ends in January, and it’s time to go back. Back to different countries, cities, lives. Beds.
Reentry is harder than expected.

Summary
"Listen, Mr. Rozanov." The general manager is talking out of the side of his mouth, his cigarette dropping ashes all over the hotel table. "We like you. We want you. We understand you are putting yourself under a fair amount of risk here, meeting with us like this. I hope it's obvious that if you play for us, we will set you up for a good life in Canada."
He pauses, looks Ilya in the eye. "But you have to understand, if you agree to this, you have to be prepared to leave with us right now."
