    Summary

    He knows no one would believe him. Plenty of guys get smacked around by their girlfriends. Pussy-whipped, dog-walked, whatever. She’s talking way too fast for Ilya to understand. It’s just one of her little harmless punishments, when he fucks up. Sometimes she ignores him just to watch him squirm and try to figure out what he did. They don’t talk about his family, and he doesn’t tell her that his father used to do the same thing. Bringing it up will just make her angrier. 

    It’s a little bit more than a slap this time. The edge of her knuckles connects with his nose and blood is running down his chin before he can blink. He runs his tongue over the smooth surface of his teeth on instinct like he always does after he hits the ice face first. Ilya always expects it, yet it always takes him by surprise. 

     

    After the news breaks about Shane and Rose, Ilya gets himself into something...simpler. But simpler turns confusing, and then manipulative, and then violent. And that's when people start noticing.

    Summary

    The thing is, David’s pretty sure the kid’s living in a car. Or a motel, or something. Things aren’t good; he’s sure of that. He’s not the most observant guy, and he’s kind of shocked Yuna and Shane seem completely oblivious. Ilya’s twelve years old and wears a sweatshirt that hugs his shoulders far too tight, jeans that ride up past his ankles. He grimaces every time he has to force his feet into his shoes, clearly also too small. He absolutely, patently refuses to be driven home, and Irina never picks him up. He says he doesn’t know his mother’s phone number when Yuna asks for it; David suspects she doesn’t have one. And Ilya completely shuts down when someone mentions joining a hockey team. 

    Ilya and Irina find themselves in Ottawa in 2003. Or more accurately, the Hollanders find them, and never seem to let go.

    Summary

    But Ilya shakes his head, absolutely mute. There’s no universe, no universe where he can talk about this. He moved to America to forget.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov, after seven years of being whatever the fuck they’d been, are officially boyfriends.
    They’re at Shane’s cottage. They’ve officially said “I love you”, they came out to Shane’s parents, and they’d promised to be honest with each other while here. So why does it feel like Ilya is still hiding something?
    All day, Ilya has seemed nervous, uncertain. He hadn’t even seemed like this when they’d gone to talk to the Hollanders after David had caught them at the cottage. He almost seems like he’s preparing for rejection, which is stupid. Shane has waited way too long for this to let him go now.

    Or: Irina was a mermaid, making Ilya half merman. The reveal, and everything that comes along with it.

    Summary

    Shane leaves Ilya on his couch in the dark, and they spend the next year and a half learning how to live without each other. Shane behind a relationship that isn't real, Ilya inside one that's all too real and slowly killing him. It takes getting outed to the entire world for them to find their way back.

    ----

    “You will be very angry. With me.” Each word came out weaker from the one before it and by the time Rozanov was done speaking LeClaire had to strain his ears just to hear what the other man way saying to him. “By morning. Is going to be everywhere.”

    LeClaire muted the television. Whatever Rozanov was calling about was going to require his full attention. It didn’t sound like there was any way this was going to stay in Boston or be something the Bruins could cover up. He ran through the possibilities in his head: vehicular manslaughter, Kent-esque accusations, Rozanov finally deciding to jump off the Storrow overpass. He honestly wasn’t sure which one of those would be worse.
