    Summary

    Most days it felt like Alexei didn’t want a younger brother at all—like he would have been happier if Ilya had never been born, or if he’d gotten a brother that was less clingy, less soft.

    But Alexei could’ve pushed him down the stairs and broken every bone in his body, and Ilya would’ve probably begged him to do it again, if it meant he’d spend more time with him.

    or: Ilya's father doesn't die during the 2016/2017 season. His brother does.

    Summary

    "What the fuck do you want?" Ilya snaps on the phone.
    "Father's dead," Alexei says and Ilya feels it in his chest like a physical blow.

    --
    Ilya hears his father is dead, right there in the locker room, surrounded by his team.

    Summary

    Ilya knows what he is. He has always known what he is. The word for it in Russian tastes like something you'd scrape off a boot.

    The word in English is bisexual, which is a nicer word, which he has heard, which he does not use. He uses other words. He uses the word his brother taught him. He uses it on himself before anyone else can.

    He grows up. He gets good at hockey. He moves to America. He... falls in love.

    (Or, five times people fail to notice Ilya being queer, and one time they have no choice.)

    Summary

    Ilya's teammates know something is wrong long before he admits it. There are signs, he just doesn't know how to ask for help from anybody, not even Shane.

    Or

    5 times where Shane doesn't show up, and the one time he does.
