    Summary

    Shane and Ilya had mutually agreed to keep their whatever-they’re-doing out of Sochi. It was an easy decision to make: this was bigger than any MLH rivalry and definitely bigger than a few hotel hook-ups. There was no room for distractions, not with Olympic gold on the line.

    So it’d be really fucking great if their daemons could get on the same page and stop trying to cause an international fucking incident.

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov is the star college hockey player at Boston University. He's in his sophomore year, has just been announced as the Captain for the upcoming 2008-2009 season -- life is great.

    Shane Hollander is a freshman, living in a dorm room with Hayden Pike and going to all of his classes. He studies at the library, listens to Hayden's ramblings about his fraternity, gets coffee with his childhood best friend Rose, and signs up to be a tutor for the hockey team.

    Love persists in all their universes.

    -

    “I don’t think you’re supposed to smoke on campus.” Shane mutters, glancing up at the cigarette, then back at the guy’s eyes.

    The guy snorts.

    “Da. Good thing we are not on campus. I am Ilya.” He holds out his hand.

    Shane eyes it, then slowly reaches out with his own. He could smell vodka? on the guy’s breath. Some sort of alcohol, at least. He wasn’t super familiar with the assortments.

    But, he doesn't want to be rude. That was one thing he wasn’t.

    “Il-ya,” he says, “My name is Shane.”

    “Shane.” Ilya repeats.

    Summary

    “Alexei, I fucking told you to never call me again, you fucking piece of—”

    “Am I speaking with Ilya Grigorievich Rozanov?”

    Ilya went silent immediately. That was not his brother’s voice. Nor was it Katia’s, his sister-in-law. It was an aristocratic, cold voice. He went completely still.

    “Yes.”

    “I’m calling from the Child Services Department, Ilya Grigorievich,” the woman continued, and Ilya frowned deeply. “Your brother Alexei Rozanov and his wife died yesterday in a car accident.”

    Twice in his life, Ilya had felt like this. The ice around his heart melted just enough for the numbness to vanish and give way to a sharp, stinging pain. It lasted only two seconds before he managed to compose himself. He didn’t want to feel anything for Alexei, so even if Katia’s death carried a trace of sadness—she was a mess, but she always tried to smile at him and cook warm meals for him when he visited Russia—, he dismissed the feeling entirely.

    “So what?”

    “You are the only living family member of their daughter. Your brother named you as her legal guardian, Ilya Grigorievich.”
