    Summary

    “We’re just, well-“ Choui hedges, then glances round as if he’s looking for back up.

    “We’re worried that you’re a bit too controlling,” Hayes blurts out. “Of Rozanov.”

    Shane opens his mouth to respond, but he closes it again when he realises he has no fucking idea what to say. He’s - what?

    Summary

    The flight attendant just shook her head. “No, sir”, she said slowly, enunciating just a tad too much, like she was talking to a bunch of idiots, “I’m certain that’s not a misspelling. There are two entirely different names on your boarding pass and your passport, I am afraid”

    “They can’t have misspelled it that much, that can’t be true!”, Barrett exclaimed, still laughing.

    But Ilya’s heart dropped as realisation hit.

    She was right.

    There were two entirely different names on there.

    --
    OR: after Ilya takes Shane's last name, he forgets to book his own flight and the entire team gets a good look at his passport. Which definitely doesn't read "Ilya Rozanov" - no matter how wrongly you might spell Rozanov.

    Summary

    And yeah, Shane knew that Ilya hadn’t been okay last time he was in Russia, but Ilya had had the very real excuse of a funeral to blame things on. Ilya had downplayed it as much as he could, and Shane hadn’t been there, he’d heard the fatigue and he’d seen Ilya’s tired smile, but he hadn’t felt the way Ilya’s hands were cold the entire time he was there, hadn’t seen through the screen the way Ilya dropped eight pounds in three weeks, hadn’t kept time when there were twenty hours in Ilya’s day instead of something closer to sixteen. Or, on the flip side, for the week or two after, when there had been approximately ten conscious hours in a day.

    It was one thing to see something. It was another to feel it in your hands.

    Ilya and Shane are so, so happy for their first year married. They’re playing in Ottawa together, they’re fucking winning, they’re together and out.

    So now, after a year, Ilya should be fine. He should be great. He should not be flinching at small noises or nearly punching people off the clock or feeling like he’s drowning whenever he’s not on the ice.

    Or: Ilya Rozanov, meet your PTSD.

    Summary

    Alina was drawing an enormous purple dog.
    "Are there a lot of purple dogs around here?" Ilya asked.
    Alina didn't look up from the drawing.
    "No."
    "Do you like purple?"
    Once again, a one-word answer. "It's ok."
    Ilya nodded seriously. "I see. So the dog is ok."
    "It's not a dog. It's a wolf."
    "A purple wolf? I've never seen one."
    The little girl flushed with irritation, as if she had to justify her choice of color. "The brown is dead."
    "Lucky me. Otherwise I never would have seen my new favorite animal. The purple wolf."
    Alina didn't answer.
    "What do purple wolves eat? Yellow sheep?" Ilya asked.
    The little girl looked up from the page and fixed Ilya with an intensity that made him uncomfortable. "Where is my brother?"

    Ilya Rozanov receives a call from Russia: his brother Alexei and his wife have been arrested. Ilya is listed as guardian of Alina, Alexei's eldest, and of Ivan, whose existence he didn't even know about. How will Ilya manage his marriage, his life as a professional hockey player, and two frightened children?

    Summary

    Forester (Admirals🔛🔝)
    So the true way to combat the Bisexual Russian Terminator isn’t with homophobia...
    It's actually with even more gay
    ...
    You're a goddamn genius.

    ----

    The NHL rookies have joined forces to strategize now that two of the greatest hockey players of all time are on the same team and Ilya Rozanov must suffer from the unintended consequences of making hockey more woke.

    Mainly, the way everyone keeps implying that they want to fuck his husband.

    or: a group of rookies unionize and employ chirping as a form of psychological torture against a one Ilya Grigoryevich Rozanov.
