Summary
Ilya knows what he is. He has always known what he is. The word for it in Russian tastes like something you'd scrape off a boot.
The word in English is bisexual, which is a nicer word, which he has heard, which he does not use. He uses other words. He uses the word his brother taught him. He uses it on himself before anyone else can.
He grows up. He gets good at hockey. He moves to America. He... falls in love.
(Or, five times people fail to notice Ilya being queer, and one time they have no choice.)

Victims of Shane Hollander’s ‘tism rizz (support group for queer hockey players)
Ilya Rozanov was added to the chat
OR: After coming out to none other than Troy Barrett, Ilya Rozanov, Shane Hollander's recent fiancé, is added to a group chat full of queer hockey players on the current league. The twist? Almost every single one of them had some interaction with Hollander that made them, at the very least, question things. It goes as well as expected.

The Chaos Theorem (or: Shane Hollander needs a nap and a therapist. He got Ilya instead) by Goffi_3197

Summary
Welcome to the Ultimate Game.
If you’re looking for a chronicle of redemption or, worse yet, a fairy tale ending with a kiss under the snow, you’ve walked into the wrong locker room. This is the story of a sabotage.
For ten years, the hockey world has feasted on the rivalry between two captains with the same hunger one brings to a public execution. And us? We served them the blood on a silver platter, while in the shadows of hotel rooms in Montreal or Boston, we exchanged fluids and secrets with the precision of two spies in enemy territory.
They believe the ice is a sanctuary of heterosexual secrets. They don’t realize that while they were betting on our next elbow to the face, they were witnessing a long, violent decade of foreplay.
Now, it’s time for El Plan.
Shane is the butterfly flapping its wings on an underwear billboard. I am the tornado about to level the entire NHL.
Grab your popcorn. It’s going to be a beautiful massacre.
My name is Ilya Rozanov, and you can thank me later.
Or: how Shane and Ilya gaslit the entire world by officially "starting to date" in 2020.

Summary
Cliff would probably remember if he was there when Ilya met a woman so earth-shattering that he would chase after her for nearly a decade. Probably. Cliff thinks he would probably notice something as life-altering as a meeting like that. Who on earth is this woman and how did they find each other? Did Cliff watch Ilya’s life change before his eyes and not even realize what was happening?
In the fall of 2017, Cliff Marlow notices evidence of Jane all over Ilya’s apartment. He decides to investigate.
