    It's not fair that he's here, in Canada, with his husband and his dog and everything he didn't know he wished for, except for his mother. And it's not fair that Alyosha is in Moscow, bringing koliva and flowers for their father, and leaving their mother’s grave untended.

    Summary

    His first thought, when he finds her, is how much trouble he’s going to be in.

    Ilya has seen movies where people press their fingers to dead bodies’ necks and say “no pulse”, but he isn’t really sure what they’re doing, so instead he just watches, waiting for her to breathe. He waits for a long time, her blonde hair splayed out like a halo on the tile.

    Teenage Ilya’s years in Russia.

    Summary

    On the 15th of June in 1991, in a corner of Moscow, a life was born. Bundled up in blankets and sheets, the walls of the house soaked up the cries of a newborn baby boy. When put in the arms of his mother, peace fell across the room.

    Quiet, calm peace.

    Quiet, calm Irina.

    And bright, beautiful Ilya.

    It may have been cold in Russia but the sun pushed through the fog and the clouds just in time to reflect against soft, blonde curls and stark green eyes.

    A boy may be the son of Russia, but you Ilya Rozanov, you shall be mine.

    Irina Rozanova smiled when blue eyes pierced hers as she brushed their noses together. Cooing spread across her room and her heart.

     

    Or

    Heated Rivalry from the perspective of Ilya Rozanov alongside the haunting, lingering presence of Irina in his life.
