    Summary

    Rozanov cocked his head. “You speak Russian? Or just the curse words?”

    “Yes, I speak Russian,” he snapped, defensive and angry. He knew that it had been a mistake to even try to be friendly with Rozanov. “Why? Do I not look Russian to you?” He scoffed.

    “No, not really,” Rozanov said. Some of his teammates laughed, although they mostly looked surprised that Shane was speaking to them at all. Rozanov didn’t laugh, though. “Are you Russian?”

    “Go fuck yourself.”

    +++

    Despite an inauspicious start, when Russia’s Ilya Rozanov learns that Canada’s Shane Hollander is fluent in Russian at their first World Junior Championships tournament, it changes everything and sets them on a different course. Instead of being branded as rivals from the very beginning, Ilya and Shane start off as friends.

    And, after all, a little friendly rivalry never hurt anyone, did it?

    The inversion of events and exploration of many, many issues in hockey/world is so good!

    In Which Billy Is A Bonafide Member Of The Scoops Troop.

    Ihni prompted: "What if Billy had been the one with Steve when they were captured by the Russians?" and I did something which looks a little bit like that when viewed through a very long lens.

    Summary

    Dangerous game, flirting with Jason Carver’s girlfriend. Max might be impressed, except that she thinks it’s actually exceptionally fucking stupid.

    But… Well. Chrissy looks really happy, bright smile and big laugh, and if it’s Eddie’s puppy dog heart eyes behind that? So be it.

    It’s really none of Max’s business.

    (Max accidentally wingmans and has to live with the responsibility that follows.)

    (aka: “dude, eddie’s down bad for chrissy and max is just going through the stages of grief multiple times a day.” —sanvvio)

    Summary

    Jon Arryn, revered and respected Hand of the King, is dead. Though many assume his death to be of natural age, others have suspicions... including his widow, Lady Lysa, who is determined to make up for her strange grief-induced amnesia by being the best damn detective King's Landing has ever seen. With her flair for dramatics, regrettable habit of jumping to wild conclusions, and questionable disregard for law enforcement, what could go wrong? Anything and everything, as it turns out.

    Summary

    (And turns me to gold in the sunlight)

    Robert Baratheon’s hair was longer than she remembered, and his beard wilder, but he was tall and broad, although not as handsome as Rhaegar or even Cerion. She almost preferred that. He did not look like a king. He looked like a lost soldier. But he greeted her properly, pressing a rough kiss to the back of her hand. “My lady,” he said.

    “My- Your Grace,” Jaime corrected herself swiftly, and sunk into a low curtsy, but she did not look away from him. “I have been eagerly awaiting this day.”

    “Have you?” he almost seemed about to laugh. There was something brittle to him, despite his obvious strength and deep voice.

    “Just as much as yourself, I am sure,” she chirped, and turned to smile at her family, while her husband to be’s forced mask of courtesy was cleaved off his face.

    (In which it is Jaime and Cerion, not Jaime and Cersei, and Robert Baratheon and Westeros find themselves with a different sort of queen entirely).

    Great read tho it ends feeling very incomplete.
