Summary
Good riddance, he thinks. Or maybe feels obligated to think. He’s not sure. It feels like a natural thing to think about a brother who hit you and insulted you and extorted you for most of your short, miserable time together. He’s thought about it before, Alexei dying. The life he lived had not been conductive to longevity.
I am the last Rozanov, he thinks, and that is an emotion he can parse, finally: closure. Like setting the last piece down in a puzzle.
It’s only after the first puff of smoke escapes his lips that Ilya remembers Alexei’s daughter.
Or:
Two years after he gets married, Ilya Rozanov receives the news that his older brother has died.- Language:

Summary
The teasing tone of his voice should be enough to convince Shane he is okay. He's inconvenienced Shane enough, it was time to manage his problems on his own. He can mask whatever is going on with him today, deal with it, and be better tomorrow.
He just has to make it to tomorrow.
His husband, unfortunately, has other plans. "We actually finished early. I'm gonna come back today instead of two days from now. I have a flight in two hours, so I should be home by evening."
The panic hits Ilya almost instantly. Evening is too soon, he thinks, I'll still be like this by evening. Shane is going to deal with my mess again. He won't even have time to rest from his flight. I can't be seen like this. I can't do this to him. I can't let someone else deal with my problems. I can't let someone else come home to this.
I'm just like my mother.

Summary
“Ah! People!” The kid— a little boy— speaks with heavy breaths and a harried tone. He seems to have dashed all the way here.
He doesn’t bother to pause for introductions as he points down the hall in the direction he came from, directly across from where Saheon had turned into the space.
“There! Over there is a talking rabbit!” When Saheon looks closer, he realizes this kid looks terrified. The warehouse had reminded him of Soleum, but there’s no way this wimpy, twiggy child is the ruthless man he knows and loathes.
Saheon and Yeongeun are thrown into a Darkness with a Soleum that's at much less than full capacity... Which is obvious, given that he's been turned into a child.

Summary
Shane can’t look at him. He can’t really look at anyone but he manages to lift his head and stare right back into Troy’s glistening eyes.
“I never had that advantage, Troy. I never got to take it out on anyone, for any of it. All the times I got on that ice to play some hockey and some… fuckwit idiot like Kent, or whoever was calling me slurs— whether they were gay ones or racist ones… I couldn’t just hurl them back and call it a day like you did.”
He swallows hard. He thinks he might be sick a little bit in his mouth.
“You know how fucking lucky you are? To have gotten away with it? They love you, Barrett. This team loves you! You’re fucking celebrated because you overcame this big, terrible thing but for me it’s—”
He thinks about his mom in that very split second. His beautiful, wonderful mom who’d coached him his entire life on how to be polite, how to be well behaved. How to answer to teachers the right way, to coaches, to cops to the press to the general public to his fucking teammates—
He looks away. The fight suddenly drains right out of him and he goes back to his bag.

Summary
JJ didn't think the others saw it. Hayden, maybe, but Jackie was the only WAGs's name Shane had committed to memory so Hayden never brought it up. JJ didn't have a wife or girlfriend. He had his hookups and the names of the best restaurants in each city they player in. If JJ had a dog, Shane would probably mix its name up with Drapeau's. The others didn't get that however pathetic or sad they might think Shane, Shane thought the same of them tenfold when they missed shots at practice or ate fast food on weekdays. Shane wasn't being prissy or funny when he said, don't embarass me—JJ still doesn't know exactly what it was, but he doesn't care to find out.
Shane had poured everything into his team (possessively: it was his team) and he asked them to give it back that day, so they delivered. When Shane smiled at them afterwards, it felt like love.
Character study on neurotic batshit hardass Captain Shane Hollander. The awe-inspiring and aloof Canadian Hockey Jesus Shane Hollander. Unwilling MLH sex icon Shane Hollander, the face on many mens' dart boards.
or, JJ on the enigma of (his feelings for) Shane Hollander over the years.

Summary
The more desperate you are, the easier it is to slip up, and then you lose more control, and you become even more desperate. It's a vicious cycle. The issue is, Hollander seems kind. And here’s the problem with kind people: when backed into a corner, they tend to hurt themselves instead of others.

Shane has a background in boxing and needs to make a lot of money fast and Ilya isn't a gang leader, but he sure as hell seems like one sometimes.

the best person to be stuck in an elevator with by Sporkess

Summary
There's no good way to be stuck in an elevator. Not when you're stuck in an elevator with someone who treats being annoying as an art form he wants to perfect, and definitely not when that person is your son's rival who you've hated for years.
But, when Yuna finds herself stuck in an elevator with Ilya Rozanov, she realises there's more to the story than she'd seen.

Summary
When it's time to race in Barcelona, Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris are dominating the 2025 season, with no real rivals in sight.
Hence, the inevitable truth: even if they share the same colors, only one of them will be crowned world champion. The other, no matter how brilliant, will be remembered as champion of the defeated.
Everything becomes even more complicated when a secret torn from one of them comes to light, one that will shake both their personal and professional lives. Because the two McLaren drivers, whether they like it or not, are bound together by an invisible thread.
This is the story of how, while fighting against each other for the title, they started to fight for each other too.- Language:

Summary
This just in, Max Verstappen, recently retired from his seat in Red Bull Racing after winning his fifth championship, has walked out in AMG colors into George Russell's garage, everyone—oh, oh. This is just in from Toto Wolff. Max is now George’s new race engineer. Wow. Certainly didn’t see that coming.
(Max may be freshly retired, but he still hungers for more championships. George just happens to be the ideal vessel.)

Summary
He will never be what he was before all this fame, he has accepted that. That Hanbin is gone forever, as all past versions eventually are. But he doesn’t feel like he’s suffocating anymore. The paranoia is fading. He likes the version of Sung Hanbin he is steadily becoming.
He likes that he can push against the box encasing him and feel it give, just a little, just enough.
Or: Hanbin and Hao steal away to celebrate their anniversary, and Hanbin reflects on all the battles that have led him here—to this house on the sea with the man that he loves.

Summary
His classmate visited the doctor, swallowed a bitter pill and chased it with juice. Before he went to bed, before something in his chest burned, he opened his journal and taped the note in; crossed out Reki’s name. “This is important,” he wrote below the drawing. Underlined it.
He’ll never remember who drew this, but maybe he’ll remember his first lost, impossible love. He slept peacefully that night, and didn't dream of wild red hair and kind eyes.
People keep getting Hanahaki for Reki; it's becoming a problem, even before he starts coughing up petals.

Summary
He swears he can smell burning trees, burning flesh, stark against the crisp cold of fresh snow. He can hear the howl of beasts, noise that always seems to echo through his dormitory even after he wakes from a nightmare. Olruggio knows it's not the same, knows the harbor is miles and years from Noz. And yet. And yet.
The specifics are lost to him–which twists and turns brought him here, how far away he’s run from the harbor, what finally buckled his knees and brought him down to meet the cool stone of a narrow alley.
In Noz, he’d sought higher ground.
or: Olruggio's past catches up to him, but Qifrey isn't far behind.

Summary
"There's no sound in space. Not after the last of my crewmates died; it was just the ambient noise of our ship ever since. Nothing else. Not for a long, long stretch of time. Quiet is one of the worst things for us. Same as darkness for humans, I suppose. We try to avoid it as much as we can; Eridians, when together, rarely sit in silence. There is always talk or song or at least hums that carry no meaning and rythmic taps. Just to say I am here."
or; after being away for so long, coming home doesn't go exactly the way Rocky had expected it to.

Summary
Ilya inhales sharply, furrowed brows giving his hesitation away.
Shane’s breath hitches in his throat as his eyes rapidly scan Ilya’s face, his downturned mouth, the way his pulse hammers visibly in throat. He physically watches the way his own intentions land on Ilya and prays to whatever entities exist that, for once, he is reading the situation correctly. That the spaces between the lines are not lying to him.
-
Or, 5 times Shane wondered what it would be like to take Ilya apart and 1 time he actually did.
