    Summary

    Mydei enjoys his repetitive, yet peaceful life. Wake up, go to work, come home and unwind with a nice book to read--things like that. However, the day he spontaneously picked up three chimeras up from an alleyway was the day his life had changed forever.

    Gone were the peaceful days he had grown to love, turned completely upside down when he invited three critters to his humble home.

    But you know, maybe this new life isn't so bad.

    Summary

    Instead of Shane, it is Ilya who suffers a concussion during the Boston-Montreal game in April 2017. Dazed and agitated, Ilya briefly starts speaking and responding only in Russian and the medics can’t calm him down. Luckily, Shane started studying Russian after Ilya spoke to him in Russian on the phone from Moscow. For no particular reason. Certainly not because he’s fallen in love with Ilya Rozanov.

    In Montreal with lingering concussion symptoms, Ilya is advised not to fly home for a few days, and the hospital won’t release him without assurances that he has someone to stay with him until his symptoms improve. Luckily, Shane conveniently has a condo in Montreal no one knows about and a few days before he has to travel again.

    But Ilya’s symptoms don’t resolve after a few days. Which is okay; Shane can handle it. He can take care of Ilya, study Russian, lead his team into the playoffs, and keep Ilya’s continued presence in Montreal a secret. He can do everything, no problem. He is Shane Hollander after all.

    Summary

    Ilya doesn't remember the moment his head hit the pavement or the sound of screeching brakes.

    He's forgotten he ever left Russia, and the names Yuna Hollander and Shane mean nothing to him, though these people clearly know him pretty well.

    Summary

    He picks up his phone instinctually. He opens his texts with Rozanov. He sits there staring at the “Next time?” and wonders what the fuck his plan is. Send Rosanov an apology? A plea? An invitation? Really? He sucks at sexting and finds it hardly appropriate in this moment. His fingers move across the keypad anyway.

    Or, Shane and Ilya can't help but meet up after fighting on the balcony in Vegas.

    Summary

    Mydei rolls his eyes toward Phainon, tugging on his shoulder. “Lean into me,” he says, ignoring the red flush staining Phainon’s cheeks.

    “Sorry.” Phainon adjusts himself, obeying once again. “I just—I didn’t think you’d—”

    Mydei narrows his eyes. “It’s just a photoshoot,” he says, as much for Phainon as for himself, because this is the thing of dreams. Of nightmares. Being this close to Phainon, pressed into him, breathing in natural scent of him, is almost too much. “Relax, Deliverer, or you’ll strain something, and then you won’t be able to spar with me tomorrow.”

    Phainon and Mydei help Castorice with a photoshoot.
