    Summary

    Sometimes, Ilya Rozanov is just a weird guy. Obviously, the Bears aren’t going to say that to his face, not when he’ll chirp them into oblivion for it, but sometimes it just gets out of hand.

    Like the late night phone calls where he’s talking aggressively in Russian. The random knowledge he has offhand about how far you can throw a human being and have them come out okay. The Russian death metal he forces them to listen to, calling it family bonding. The scars he refuses to talk about.

    Cliff Marleau thinks he might be in the Russian mob. The Bratva, or whatever they call it.

    Ilya doesn't tell his team about his family until they've already invented a thousand conspiracies about it. Like him being in the mob. Or having rabies.

    In which Ilya Rozanov and Yuri Plisetsky are brothers, and the world changes with the most minute of connections.

    Now featuring Shane and Ilya's POVs on the canon divergence starting from chapter 5.

    Summary

    The problem, Shane muses in hindsight, is that he commits to things too hard.

    He puts his all into everything. He wouldn’t be who he is without it.

    The fact that he can’t resist a challenge, even if it’s stupid, is more of the problem than anything else.

    In which Shane has hidden talents, Ilya runs to catch up, the internet spirals, and Yuuri, Viktor and Yuri are dragged along for the ride…

    The stitches used in your wound will be absorbed naturally by the body. They do not need to be removed.

    Summary

    Sometimes life came at you with a clenched fist and Ilya had never figured out how to duck.

    So here he was, twenty-eight years old, single, dealing with the fallout from injuries given to him by the game he loved, and the second youngest assistant coach in the league to one of the worst teams. Stability was hard to come by, but he was managing.

    Then along came Shane Hollander to knock him on his ass, one more time.

    Summary

    No serious hockey fan or sports commentator worth their salt would have considered record-breaking Boston superstar Ilya Rozanov to be Shane Hollander’s rival exactly, but sleeping with a man who had a specific offense-related vendetta against him and a wrist shot like a jet engine to back it up was probably ill-advised just the same.

    Or, Shane is a goalie. Ilya can’t score.
