    Summary

    “I will never fucking forgive you if you get lung cancer and die. Ilya watched another cloud of smoke disappear into the night sky. I know, sweetheart, he replied silently. I know. He imagined Shane would be similarly unforgiving if Ilya took his own life. Not that Ilya ever would. Unless he couldn’t help it.” - The Long Game, Ch 18.

    Or, this quote haunted me for days and I ended up writing a fic where Ilya couldn't help it.

     

    Title comes from Bad Bunny's song "Turista". If you haven't heard it yet, go give it a listen, it's the perfect Hollanov song. Also in character since Ilya's a canon Bad Bunny fan.

    Summary

    It wasn’t like he had to throw up, Ilya reasoned. It was just a bad habit, and he quit those all the time. But he was leaving the cottage in two days, and the thought of packing up this life with Shane into his carry-on and flying back to Boston alone was tying him in knots. He was just stressed, and vomiting made him feel lighter. He didn’t need to, though.

    Or, a study of Ilya's recklessness and unhealthy coping as a foil to Shane's ED-coded behaviors, where he develops his own disordered habits. Chapter 1 follows the events of Heated Rivalry, but chapter 2 picks up after the events of the show during Ilya's first season at Ottawa, but with major canon-divergence from the books. This work is fully finished, just updating as I edit :)

    Summary

    The second announcer switched in. “That’s right, and with the score at 5-3, it seems unlikely the Centaurs are going home disappointed tonight. A superb performance from the team and from their captain.

    Well you know what they say?

    What do they say?

    No one can take a hit like Ilya Rozanov.

    Or

    5 times Ilya Rozanov takes a hit, and 1 time he doesnt have to.

    Summary

    If there’s ever been any doubt in his mind just how much Shane loves this man, it vanishes with the glossy blankness of Ilya’s expression. Blood from a stone indeed.

    “My father was very fair,” Ilya says immediately, and it’s got the rigid, almost mechanical emphasis of something practiced a thousand times. “If I was bad, I pay price. No problem.”

    “I think maybe we have a different definition of the word fair.”

    “Yes,” Ilya admits. “Probably. Shane thinks so.”

    Summary

    "Rozy," Brian, the team doctor says, "talk to me, buddy. That puck clipped you pretty good, how’s the pain?"

    Ilya blinks. He clenches his jaw against a wave of nausea. He rests his cheek on the ice, and the cold helps a little.

    "Bad. Very bad." He swallows. "Is Shane here?"

    -

    or, in the final MTL/BOS game of the year, ilya takes a puck to the head.
