    Summary

    At the Winter Olympics, legacy weighs more than gold.

    Sophie has spent her entire life skating under her stepmother’s control, carrying her late mother’s name like both a blessing and a burden. Whilst her father’s legacy is slowly erased. Representing South Korea, she is precision, discipline, perfection, the daughter of a legend, sculpted into something untouchable.

    Benedict Bridgerton skates for Great Britain with artistry in his veins and expectation in his shadow. A Bridgerton does not falter. A Bridgerton does not fall. He has always chased feeling over medals until a masked woman at the Opening Ceremony kisses him and vanishes, leaving fire in her wake.

     

    As world records shatter and reputations unravel under live broadcast scrutiny, Sophie begins to understand just how tightly her life has been controlled and how much of herself she was never allowed to claim.

    Now she must choose.

    Between obedience and freedom.
    Between the legacy she was shaped to carry… and the one she wants to create.

    Because the ice remembers.

    And sometimes the heaviest thing a skater carries is not gold, but the weight of legacy.

    Summary

    "His skates edge caught wrong, shifted his weight, and he fucking fell down. The world tilted just enough.
    That’s all it took.

    One bad second. One bad angle. The puck sliding away like it was never his to begin with.

    He swallows hard, throat tight.

    I lost them the Cup.

    The words belong to himself. They’re just there, sitting in his chest.

    Why—

    “What the fuck was that, Hollander?”"

    ---------------

    The one where Shane trips at the last Montreal vs Ottawa game and his Team are not kind about it. And what happens when he runs into Ilyas Teammate. What happens when Ilya finds out.

    Summary

    Shane stands there, framed by the hallway light, looking like he’s walked straight out of a bad dream. His face is bruised, there's a gash on his cheek that's bleeding, his lip is split, eyes too dull. One arm is tucked in close to his side, and Ilya knows, knows, it's because his ribs are hurt.

    Shane’s expression is raw and vulnerable in the way prey is when it knows it can’t run anymore.

    “Sorry, didn't know where else to go.”

    Summary

    Something Ilya did not study in English were the forbidden words. Slurs, in English. Why would he? He knew the big ones that he should ‘be careful to not even rhyme with when there’s a camera on him,’ said the Bears’ PR manager, so he didn’t, and that was that.

    Except, now they were saying something about Hollander in the locker room.
