    Summary

    Something like grief churned in his sternum–that same something that would hit him in Boston winter when he was surrounded by stark, grey streets, and old buildings coated in snow, and twinkling Christmas lights in shop windows. The shape of it felt like Moscow along its jagged edges. Ilya shut his eyes and breathed.

    This time of year, the snow, all of it made him think of his mother. Of her warm blonde hair tucked into her fuzzy winter coat and of her magenta gloves bright against the snow as she balled up handfuls of snow to throw at Ilya and Alexei. Irina had loved the snow, had loved celebrating the festive season, and Ilya had spent the last decade and a half avoiding reminders of it.

    Or: Shane invites Ilya to Ottawa to spend the Christmas break with his family. Ilya deals with complex feelings about home, family, belonging, and grief.

    Set in the last year Ilya played for Boston before moving to Ottawa.

    Summary

    She wants him so badly her teeth ache. She’ll never say it out loud. It will eat her alive. One day, when she dies and a pathologist cracks her chest (nipples to navel is no man’s land), they’ll see a heart calcified with the weight of these fatal fantasies. It would make an excellent case study, she thinks, ruefully. They’ll write articles about her– 29-year-old female, South Asian, presented as healthy but upon further examination, was deeply ill. Poor, poor Samira Mohan, besotted with her handsome, brooding, married attending. She died how she lived– desperate, wanting, and alone.

    ____

    Or, Samira has a crush. But that's putting it lightly.

    Summary

    “I can’t think straight. My fellowship starts next month, and I… I need to be on, again. I can’t be…” She pauses, inhaling deeply through her nose and turning around to face him. He can almost see her pulse rabbiting in her throat. “I just think it would clear my head. Let me focus on being a doctor and not…” She chews at her bottom lip, suddenly shier.

    “Not…?”

    “Not feeling like you can see beneath my skin.” Big brown eyes plead with him. “Give me a clean break. Then I can go to Chicago and not wonder.”
