    Summary

    At twenty-one, Ilya Rozanov is the Soviet Union’s most perfect weapon, a soldier of the Red Machine who has spent three years locked in a silent, jagged war on the ice with Canada’s golden boy, Shane Hollander.

    When the Montreal Metros claim him as a "wasted" mid-round draft pick, the rivalry transforms from a professional grudge into a desperate lifeline. On the final night of the 1988 Calgary Olympics, he risks everything, his family, his career, and his safety, to start a new life in the West. Forced into a high-stakes billet under the roof of his bitter professional rival, Ilya must navigate a world where freedom feels like a new kind of prison.

    As Ilya struggles to adapt, the crumbling Soviet empire reaches across the ocean, searching for leverage to help pull him back.

    OR: What if Ilya fled Russia in 1988 to play for the Montreal Metros?

    Summary

    “Hello,” Ilya repeats, still kind of stuck on those freckles.

    “Hi?” the man says.

    “Hi,” Ilya says—again.

    Oh god, he's said hello three times now. He should literally say anything else. His name, probably. His phone number, preferably.

    “Hi,” Ilya says again, because he can’t help it. “I am—”

    “Are you Nick?” the man asks, and it comes out as a breathless sound.

    OR: Shane gets stood up on a blind date, and Ilya comes to the rescue, and proceeds to make a series of questionable decisions.

    Summary

    Rozanov spins his stool to face Shane fully. “That is it? No warm hello? No fond embrace? No sorry I shot you in the fucking chest?” The thing about Roz is that his native Russian accent is only ever on display when he’s off the clock. He’s even better with languages than Shane, which is infuriating.
     
    “You threw me off a cliff,” Shane replies mildly, that weird feeling in his stomach growing claws.
     
    Rozanov wields the cocktail umbrella like it’s a sword. “Ah. No. You were wearing parachute. I was wearing very cute, very non-Kevlar Lululemon! Is not the same thing!”

    Or, Spy!Shane and Ilya have very strong opinions on who gets to kill each other.

    Summary

    “Adventurous,” Ilya said, smiling sharply.
    “Shut up.”
    “This is unlike you.”
    “Shut up.”
    Ilya did, pulling open the sealed cardboard slots instead and upturning the box over his palm, not all that careful considering its contents were glass, letting the bottle fall into his hand.
    “Shit, Rozanov,” Shane said, exasperated. “I was going to return it.”
    “Oh, no, you will go broke now?" Ilya popped the cap off the perfume and sprayed it at Shane.

    Shane Hollander finds a hobby.

    Summary

    Hollander’s eyes slid past him, stopped, came back and held, his eyes widening. Ilya smiled, a mocking curve of his mouth, and raised his cup in acknowledgment. Number one, he mouthed, and while he couldn’t be certain in the dim light of the bar, he thought he saw Hollander flush.

    Then his chin lifted, challenging, and Ilya felt something hook behind his ribs, a sharp tug, like a fish on a line.
