Summary
But then someone had opened their stupid fat mouth and asked: “Where do you think you’ll be in thirty years?”
And Ilya, drunk and grinning, had barely stopped himself from saying: Dead, hopefully.
Ilya Rozanov. The boy. The man. The performance.

Summary
"Neil" looks at him, and Andrew feels seen in a way that should be impossible, like Neil is able to see what lives under the skin of Andrew Minyard. He stares, evaluates the danger, tensing momentarily, eyes flicking to the nearest door and then back to Andrew. Then he blinks, considering, and relaxes deliberately, like he has taken in all that Andrew is and has come to the conclusion that he is not a threat. Andrew feels his hackles rising. Andrew had been a threat long before he became Andrew.
Two facsimiles of humanity, trying to be real.

Summary
Cliopher takes a deep breath. The easy softness around Fitzroy’s eyes stills into watchfulness. He is so very afraid to disturb the equilibrium they have built and to peel open wounds already closed, but this is not just for himself. It is for Fitzroy. For them both.
A second breath.
“I think we should revisit the topic of sex,” he says, words clear, steady.

Summary
One last time, Zhou Zishu considers whether he should send Wen Kexing away and disappear from his life for good – but he is tired, so very tired. He has made enough decisions for other people to last several lifetimes and none of them have made anyone any happier.
Strangers passing by, making a memory, and continuing on - except, instead, Wen Kexing stays and Zhou Zishu wishes he could regret it.

Don't Feed Me (I will come back) by Captain Grayson (Ada_Parker)

Summary
It’s the most famous cold case in hockey history. Up-and-coming Russian phenom Ilya Rozanov mysteriously vanishes the summer before his rookie season. Despite extensive police work, no trace of the young superstar is ever found.
Shane Hollander remembers Ilya Rozanov. Better than most. And now, several years retired and with two highly successful hockey biographies under his belt, he’s taking a crack at the mystery that’s haunted his own career with strings of what-ifs and memories revisited so often they’ve softened like old cotton.
Perhaps now, with the long eye of perspective between him and those memories, he can unravel the short lifetime of the man poised to become his biggest rival and best kept secret. Travelling to Russia he searches for stories and the answers they hold.
If only this damn dog that’s apparently a local cryptid would stop raiding his trash cans.
It has wandered this place for years. It knows every stream, every hill, every tree. Every pale, flat face in the place of straight lines. It does not know this face.But it remembers dark eyes and star-dots across the cheeks.
It cannot remember its own name.But it remembers him.

Summary
Ilya widens his eyes, moves his hands in an impatient “get on with it” motion. He has the urge to say it for him, end both their misery. Shane blinks rapidly a few times, takes another deep breath. “I want to stop,” he says simply.
Ilya lets out one humorless laugh, “Stop what?”
Shane ignores him. “At the All Star Game, I told you I liked you. And you said about Russia and your family. And I looked some things up. I get it. I get it better now. I know we can’t but I can’t stop wanting to be…more. Unless we stop.”
OR
Shane just wants to be friends and Ilya is, like, fine with that or whatever

The Knockout Lockout by PillowForte

Summary
A handsome, panicked face swims into view, and Ilya isn’t sure, but he thinks the man is calling his name.
“…ya – hey! There you are,” the stranger says shakily, one strong hand clutching Ilya’s face. “Fuck, Ilya, you’ve gotta stay awake, okay? They’re coming, just hold on. I’m here.”
He’s ethereal under the stadium light. It falls like white water over his dark, messy halo of hair, caresses the edges of his tensed jaw and the anguish etched into his face, outlines the curve of his full, trembling lips as he looks down at Ilya, trying to hold Ilya’s gaze with his own.
