    Summary

    Troy Barrett had grown familiar with the careful distance that people kept away from him over the years for any number of reasons. He knew the neutral expressions that people used to mask their rage or disgust with him.

    He was not, however, used to receiving that treatment from his fellow team members. That had been a recent development since he blew up all his bridges with Toronto, and more specifically, Dallas Kent. The Centaurs, he was coming to realize, had very little in common with his former team.

    Or: A closeted Troy joins the Centaurs and the Admirals for a night out at the Kingfisher. What could go wrong?

    Summary

    It’s bad enough that Ilya busts him for drinking before the game. Worse that Ilya knows he’s drinking alone. But the worst part comes after the worst of the shame ebbs, when Ilya stands in the doorway and says, almost offhand-

    “Also, your father’s here."

    "What?"

    Summary

    -----
    Time for the highlight of the night.

    As Boston’s General Manager, Barry had plenty of professional goals for his evening at the NHL awards. His singular personal goal, however, was to see Coach Theriault pop a fucking blood vessel.

    He and LeClaire had already succeeded in trapping Theriault in conversation when Barry heard a very familiar Russian accent from over by the bar.

    Well, a good manager knows how to delegate.

    Barry waved Rozanov over to join them. Yuna Hollander noticed and stuck close to the kid’s side, her sharp gaze assessing as she too moved to join the conversation. Even better. Even fucking better.

    Beside him, Theriault’s face had already turned a dangerous shade of red.

    Summary

    “How did you do that?” Shane inquired, still in slight disbelief at the handiwork.

    “I have very skilled fingers, you know this.”

    “Seriously, Ilya, when did you learn how to part hair and shit?”

    OR: After Shane grows his hair out, he has trouble managing it for an event, and Ilya comes to the rescue in the sweetest, most unexpected ways.
