Summary
There had been a tragedy. The Ottawa Centaurs' plane had crashed in northern Georgia, during the course of their flight from Carolina to Tampa. They didn't know much else yet. All NHL activities were suspended for the next seven days.
Wait, what?
At seventeen, Shane Hollander met the love of his life. At twenty-nine, gravity took him away.
Shane wishes he’d died, too.

Summary
Hayden,
I know you'll probably be the first person to check on me. I'm so sorry you have to find me like this, I'm so sorry I couldn't give you my explanation in person, but I can't do this anymore. I can't live in this world where not even hockey makes sense because nothing makes sense without him.
or, Ilyas plane goes down and he doesn't survive. Shane can't cope.

Summary
Ilya cannot help the wide smile that breaks out across his face. "You ran here," he says, reaching out to smooth Shane's rumpled clothes, fingers working the chewed-up hoodie string free from his mouth while he sits very still and watches Ilya with wide eyes. "Across many states and up four flights of stairs—where are your grandma candies?—to ask if I have secret baby.”

Summary
Ilya tries to breathe. Shane is the one who panics. In fact, Ilya has been so calm over the past hour. So, so calm. Soooooooo so so so amazingly calm that maybe Shane will reward him with a very nice blowjob later. Ilya has been calm because Shane needs a rock to lean on, but Shane is gone and now Ilya is panicking. This is his only chance to rectify the first, shirtless impression he made on Shane’s father.
“Do you still read New Yorker?”
OR: Ilya, on the confluence of Shane with David, Yuna, and Svetlana.

Bookmarker's Notes
Ilya feels like a fish who has been flopping around in little puddles and gorging itself on raindrops, but now has finally come to the ocean. Of course there is no one else. No other water will do.

Summary
He’s not alone—hardly ever is, in Boston.
But maybe, just maybe, he’s lonely.
It sneaks up on him in stupid moments: standing in line at the bank, catching a ride with Connors after practice, because he doesn’t have a car yet. Lying awake at night with the low hum of traffic outside and the wrong kind of silence pressing in around him.
In his rookie year, Ilya makes an anonymous online friend. Unfortunately, it's a terrible idea.

Summary
Maybe if the video ended there, Shane thought, it would be okay. Okayish. Still incriminating. Still a fucking disaster. Still embarrassing, to have his breakup with this beautiful actress filmed and disseminated on Reddit of all fucking places, but not a nail in his coffin, burying him alive. But the video didn’t end there.
“Can I ask if you’ve ever been with another guy?” she had to ask.
And he, tears visible in his eyes, had to nod.
Just once. Just a single nod.
Why did he have to nod?
“Have you ever told anyone that before?” He shook his head. “Was it different? With a guy?”
“Of course.”
Of course.
“Was it better?”
“Yes.”
+++
Shane’s conversation with Rose is secretly recorded. Months later, after the All-Star game and Ilya’s confession in Russian, the video gets leaked online. Shane is outed to the world while Ilya is in Russia, and must now finish the 2016-2017 season with the entire world in on his secret.

Summary
“Mama,” he says, bringing the cigarette to his lips. “You have been worried about me. I know.”
The smoke in his throat is so familiar. When he breathes out, it's already jagged. "I wanted to tell you that you don't have to be. Not anymore."
(Or: after waking early one morning at the cottage, Ilya goes down to the water to talk to his mother.)

Summary
Rozanov cocked his head. “You speak Russian? Or just the curse words?”
“Yes, I speak Russian,” he snapped, defensive and angry. He knew that it had been a mistake to even try to be friendly with Rozanov. “Why? Do I not look Russian to you?” He scoffed.
“No, not really,” Rozanov said. Some of his teammates laughed, although they mostly looked surprised that Shane was speaking to them at all. Rozanov didn’t laugh, though. “Are you Russian?”
“Go fuck yourself.”
+++
Despite an inauspicious start, when Russia’s Ilya Rozanov learns that Canada’s Shane Hollander is fluent in Russian at their first World Junior Championships tournament, it changes everything and sets them on a different course. Instead of being branded as rivals from the very beginning, Ilya and Shane start off as friends.
And, after all, a little friendly rivalry never hurt anyone, did it?

Bookmarker's Notes
He’s made a decision.
That’s the key thing. If you want something done, you must give your whole soul to the doing of it. You die only when you forget, for even a second, what you decided and why you decided it.

Summary
St Joan of Arc, give me strength: In this, my time of need, I beg thee to come to my aid. I humbly ask thee to help me bear my trials with honour, As I remember you in your earthly agonies.
The words, though familiar, feel foreign on her tongue as Hazel mumbles them. Marie coughs beside her as the oil fills the cavern and she looks out into the silky black.
She is 13. She is 13 years old and she is dying and for some reason she can’t quite understand, she is praying to a saint.

Summary
The two sit in silence on the pier, the air hanging heavy with the thought of what the next few days may bring. But then her fingers slip into his and she gives his hand a gentle squeeze. As Percy glances up at her, he realizes the crushing weight he’d felt in his chest while walking through the camp has eased up, if only slightly. At least she’s here, he thinks. At least I’m not alone.

Percy's just a kid. A kid who just learned that he is destined to get his stupid soul reaped in a week. Naturally, he can't sleep.

More Than Meets The Eye by FayJay

Summary
Written for the following Kinkmeme prompt:
GrindelGraves, unaware the thing would be stolen so quickly, decided that inside the suitcase was an excellent place to stash the comatose RealGraves.
Newt discovers this when he's already sailing out of NY harbour.
Percival is pretty freaked out and unsure if the kind, unassuming magizoologist promising that he's safe and no one is going to harm him is a trick or a genuine saviour. He's getting to the point where he thinks it's the latter, if only because Newt seems unaware that his animals are all giving him the universal "i'm watching you" act when Newt's not looking.
The animals, after all, can recognise the look and smell of the man who hurt their human, but not that the one who did the hurting was an imposter. They aren't outright attacking though, since many of them also were scared and confused and attacked when their human first found them.

Summary
“Mr Scarmander must be awfully keen to stay in touch considering that he has to have sent this from the steamer,” Queenie’s far too cheerful for this time in the morning. Tina blindly reaches for the coffee and resists the urge to snatch the letter out of her sister’s hand.
Not long after the events of Fantastic Beasts, Tina receives a missive from a certain magizoologist. Everything about it confuses her.
