    Summary

    "We're setting you up with a billet situation," Fletcher continued. "It's pretty common for first-year players, especially international guys. Gives you a chance to settle in, learn the city, have someone looking out for you."

    "Okay," Ilya said slowly, not entirely sure what a billet was, but not wanting to admit his ignorance.

     He could guess from the context – he’d heard of rookies being assigned to live with older single players, veterans who could show them the ropes. Maybe that was what Fletcher meant. Connors maybe, he was probably a handful of years older than Ilya. Or perhaps Becker. Ilya just hoped it was someone who–

    "You'll be staying with Nikolai Petrov and his family."

    The words hit Ilya like a punch to the gut. For a moment, he forgot how to breathe.

    "Petrov?" he managed, his voice coming out strangled.
    __________________________________________________________________

    The Bears decide that Ilya should be set up with a billet for his first season. The idea of spending a year living with a man that Ilya is sure hates him is completely terrifying. And yet, it ends up being the best thing to ever happen to him.

    Summary

    [YOUTUBE LIVE CHAT: St. Jude’s Parish]

    Yuna Hollander: Good morning Shane! You look handsome! Fix your collar honey.

    David Hollander: Sound is a bit buzzy today son. Love, Dad.

    Ilya stared at the chat.

    "Parents?" Ilya whispered. "He is streaming for his parents?"

    It was... sad. And weirdly sweet. Ilya’s father did not know Ilya’s name half the time. This priest—Father Shane Hollander—had a fan club of two people, and they shared his DNA.

    Or

    AU where Boston Bears superstar Ilya Rozanov meets Shane Hollander, a clumsy, tiny priest from Montreal.

    Summary

    Wyatt was not, like, nosy. For sure, he was interested. He was curious. He engaged with people, obviously, because most people were interesting and engaging and had cool thoughts and said neat stuff if you asked.

    So, no. Wyatt wasn’t nosy, but he wasn’t stupid, either.
