    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov bares his soul to Shane Hollander, while crouched in a tunnel in Moscow after he buries his father. Words spoken knowing the person on the other end can't possibly understand them.

    Little does he know there is someone listening who can.

    Summary

    After losing everything and becoming an undead creature of the darkness, Ilya “Dracul” Rozanov lived a long life of misery, searching through oceans of time for his long lost lover. Shane Hollander felt out of place all his life, always yearning for something he could not name. One day they finally meet.

    ----
    This kind of ended up being a very loose mix of Dracula: A Love Tale and Bram Stoker’s Dracula but like let's be honest the stories are similar enough and it was fun to throw hollanov at it and play between the three.

    Summary

    He does care, though, because he doesn’t live in a fairy tale world where the Centaurs are one of the few teams who actually celebrate Pride month, where a player can have his private life be private, where whether you like a man or a woman doesn’t matter, no matter your gender. Instead, he lives in a world where someone will out his Captain and wish harm on him.

    And Xander can’t let it happen, he can’t let Hollander go through that when Hollander already looked devastated in the video. He has to come up with a solution, some sort of distraction, some way to take the heat off of Hollander so Comeau doesn’t out him to a less receptive team, or doesn’t just out him publicly by posting the video.

    Well, if Comeau is fighting with fire, then Xander needs to fight with water.

    If Comeau is fighting with homophobia, then Xander needs to fight with gay.

    Summary

    The article is–to be frank, it’s absolute garbage. It was written for some second-rate gossip magazine with a flashy click-bate title and blurry photos cobbled together with half-substantiated claims that definitely skirt the line of libel. It barely counts as journalism.

    Rozanov has been brought up to him so many times throughout his career the name doesn’t even flood his brain with panic like it should when the reporter asks. He had even been expecting it since they had just played Boston the previous week. In fact, he already starts, his answer formulated before the rest of the question has caught up to his processing center.

    Maybe it’s for the best because in the next few days his response will blow up and his baffled face will be one of the only things to help the public believe he’s innocent.

    “Rozanov is–” And when the rest of the sentence registers, he can almost hear the record scratch in his brain, and all of his extensive media training fails him, “Sorry, we’re what?”

    OR
    during the height of functional situationship (pre-tunameltdown 2016) a tabloid publishes an article accusing Shane and Ilya of everything under the sun. Excpet, of course, the one thing they're actually doing.
