   Summary

   “You’re Ilya Rozanov, right?” Dimirty walks up to Ilya and holds out his hand with a smile. “Captain, yes?”
   Ilya nods, “Yes.” Did… did Dimitry not recognize him? Was he so old he was becoming like Grigori? A little spark of hope shoots through him. He could do this, he could survive this again. Four months, and then he’d be gone for good. And besides, he’s older now. He’s not a kid, he’s not Dimirty’s type anymore.

   OR

   When LeClaire goes on paternity leave and the new guest coach is brought in, Ilya finds himself facing old traumas and gaining new ones. Ilya thought he’d been able to escape the man who assaulted him and leave his traumas behind for good. Instead, Ilya finds himself in the same predicament he did when he was just a kid in Russia. He thinks no one notices his suffering, but Cliff Marlow does, and so does Scott Hunter. Together, they do their best to protect Ilya from his old coach.
