Summary
As Hayden stands up, Shane is suddenly aware that his best friend has had just enough alcohol that Shane is concerned for what might come out of his mouth. He also notices that Hayden does not have any sort of notes with him, unlike Sveta, and he shares a silent panicked look with Jackie.
“I remember the first time I met Shane.” Hayden jumps right in. Which, it’s not like he really needs to introduce himself to anyone here, but still...
“I realized pretty quickly that the ‘hockey god’” Hayden did quotation marks in the air. “Was just a scared 19 year old like I had been the year before.... That was the moment I decided I was going to be Shane’s friend. Not because he was Shane fucking Hollander, but becuase he was just a kid like the rest of us were as rookies.”Hayden gives his Best Man speech at Shane and Ilya's wedding, if goes better than anyone expected.

Summary
Ilya Rozanov was not expecting Svetlana Vetrova to be sitting on his front steps.
It had only been four days since he had ‘come out’ to Troy and Wyatt. They’d had back to back games the past three days and had just won a close afternoon game against Nashville. Ilya had been looking forward to going home, snuggling with Anya, and waiting for Shane to call him after practice and dinner with the Pikes.
He is not expecting his childhood best friend to be at his house. In Ottawa.
Svetlana decides she's done waiting for Ilya to come to her, so she brings herself to Ottawa for some heartfelt conversations and maybe even a new friend.

Hayden's (and JJ's) Guide to Dealing with Homophobes by nerdsofafeather

Summary
Hayden hadn’t thought it could get this bad. He hadn’t thought the Metro’s could sink this low. And yet…
In some ways JJ's not shocked at the reaction of the team...JJ understood the kneejerk reaction, but Shane had told the team about Rozanov three weeks ago. And JJ knew that some of them might feel hurt, like he had, that Shane had kept this from them for so long, but he also knew some of them had never gotten over Shane coming out as gay to begin with. So no, he’s not shocked that the team hasn’t reacted well to losing to Ilya Rozanov now that they know about him and Shane.
What he is a little shocked by is the vitriol they were spitting.
The aftermath of Shane's trip in the game against the Centaurs, except they weren't outed and they came out to their teammates on their own terms. The Metro's still don't handle it well.

Summary
"You're disappointed in me," Ilya says when the silence drags on too long.
It snaps Irina out of her thoughts. No, she wants to say, you're my perfect boy, though she knows she shouldn't. She can't bring herself to say yes either. "You're my son," Irina says. "I love you."
"I'm sorry, Mama," he says, voice small, smaller than Irina has heard in years. He sounds like a child again, five and besieged by nightmares of a snowstorm, begging for reassurances than their house won't be buried under an insurmountable blanket of white, that she would find him and hold him even if it was.
"It's not my apology to accept, Ilyusha," she says instead.
(Irina Rozanova lives! It doesn't fix Ilya.)

His Mother's Sons by songstress

Summary
On very bad nights, Lyosha lets himself look. He pulls up KHL scores, reads articles about Dynamo’s powerplay. After a while, he wanders into articles about ex-KHL players who play for the MLH now. He’s a Dynamo diehard, of course, and prefers the KHL, but he’s a casual Valery Garipov fan, and it would not be a surprise to anyone that he occasionally keeps tabs on how the Puffins are doing. It would not be a red flag, to anyone watching.
The Puffins are not doing so well, as it happens. Not like another team, that leads the league and dominates conversations, to the point that even articles about the Puffins can’t help talking about them. To the point that sometimes, sometimes, there are even stray pictures. Nothing that Lyosha will ever linger on. He is his father’s son. He lives in Moscow. He has a daughter who is fifteen.
