    Summary

    “Hi, moy vozlyublenniy,” Ilya greets. “How was practice?”

    In lieu of a response, Shane kneels in front of Ilya, tucking his feet beneath him. His hands rest on his thighs, where he anxiously flexes his fingers, causing Ilya to peer at him questioningly. 

    “May I?” Shane asks quietly, looking at Ilya’s hands.

    The question causes a brief moment of confusion for Ilya. 

    ‘May I?’

    Ilya peers down at his own hands, holding onto the ends of his laces, and thinks, oh.

    Shane has a bad day. Ilya unravels him, one layer at a time.

    Summary

    “Shane has a dick, Ilya. A very nice one, I’m sure, but it’s a dick.”

    Ilya shook his head, his dirty blonde curls shifting. “No. He doesn’t. Not exactly. He has a pussy.”

    She scoffs slightly, hand covering her mouth.

    “I let you… borrow.”

    Summary

    Shane's first mistake was going to talk to Ilya Rozanov before their game. His second was immediately, stupidly, meeting the eyes of Rozanov’s very much dead mother hovering at his side.

    Summary

    In 2016, Shane walked out of Ilya's life and never looked back.

    In 2017, Ilya poured gasoline all over his career, struck a match, and walked away from the ashes.

    In 2026, their paths cross again at the scene of a car accident that kills Shane’s wife Rose and injures both Shane and his 4 year old daughter, Sophie.

    Suddenly, the quiet, unassuming life that Ilya has worked so hard to build for himself crumbles as he confronts the fact that he's never gotten over Shane Hollander.

    And Shane? In the aftermath, he'll have to face the guilt of what trying to live a lie has cost.

    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?
