Summary
The Aces don't win the cup in 2017. It hurts, Kent hurts, he's tired and he feels like he doesn't deserve the things he has, including an NCAA champion boyfriend waiting for him at home
______
A sort of epilogue, sort of one shot stemming off of "The Dream of Having No Room"
I think it works on its own but I'd recommend reading the original fic first.Podfic of It's Just An Empty Cup by rickyisms.

Summary
Dex runs his finger along the framed black and white wedding photo on the fireplace mantle in Jack and Bitty’s brand new house. They’ve only been here for a few months; they haven’t even had a housewarming party yet. When Dex asked Bitty a couple weeks ago if he was sure he wanted to do their holiday baking here, though, Bitty had waved him off.
“What better way to christen my beautiful new kitchen than with one of my favorite winter traditions?”
Or, Bitty and Dex's holiday baking: A story told through five Decembers across twelve years.

This series celebrates a variety of ways David and Patrick find each other as pen pals. A group of writer friends, who love when i'm with you it feels like home by Hullomoon, were inspired to create this series in a desperate need to add more pen pal fics to the fandom. The last three in the series are connected and the remainder are unrelated/standalone.

Summary
“Hollander’s Metros have had a challenging few years, with back-to-back knee injuries and a concussion keeping the two-time Stanley Cup winner and Olympic gold medalist off the ice for three consecutive postseason runs. Hollander is apparently back to fighting trim, but everyone’s wondering if that will still be true come April. The Metros have promised that they’re behind their franchise star one hundred percent, but there are signs they might be hedging their bets. The Metros announced last week that they have penned a deal with San Francisco’s dynamic young Russian star, center Ilya Rozanov. The move has sent shockwaves through MLH, as San Francisco was widely expected to sign a contract extension with Rozanov, who became a restricted free agent in June.”

Bookmarker's Notes
Shane is six years older than Ilya, and has been playing in the MLH for almost a decade when 22-year-old Ilya is traded from San Francisco to Montreal. Shane is grounded, confident, and outspoken with the coaches, and almost immediately snaps up Ilya to play on his line. It doesn't take long for their on- and off-ice chemistry to blossom.
Spoiler for ending
They officially get together only at the very end, and in the epilogue it is clear that they are not out, nor do they plan to come out.

Summary
Shane can't believe what he's seeing. Did this guy seriously just post publicly on the student Facebook page asking for someone to act as his fake boyfriend?
Okay. Well. Shane is a helpful guy. He's just going to quickly message this idiot, tell him to take his post down, and move on with his life.
The other ten chapters are almost certainly about something else entirely.

Summary
Ilya's heart stuttered at the last clip. A video of hands toasting beer bottles. The camera rose and panned the hotel bar, swinging to Harris’s boyfriend and…Shane Hollander. Shane Hollander, in the same light blue shirt that Ilya had seen dashing around a street corner a few hours ago. Shane Hollander, a little rumpled, adorably jet-lagged, drinking at a hotel bar that Harris had conveniently tagged. Ilya knew, he just knew what he'd find when he clicked on the location. The back of his neck was buzzing, a bizarre intuition thrumming in him.
The location opened, and Ilya had to bite back a laugh. Shane Hollander was in Hanoi, only a few minutes away from him.
***
AU Shane produces a travel show hosted by Rose. When the crew touches down in Hanoi, they cross paths with a pair of travel influencers that Shane would prefer to never see again. -

Summary
A long time ago, they’d had hardwood in the bedrooms, and Shane had a large blue rug in the middle of the room half-tucked under his bed. The first time he’d come back to visit after moving out, they’d replaced it with carpet instead, some version of a shag that his mother had liked at the hardware store and devoted a summer to accomplishing so that she wouldn’t spend it instead worrying about Shane.
These are the sorts of things he wants to tell Ilya, these days.
He looks down at his socked feet, the carpet underneath his toes. Then he drops to his knees.
