    Summary

    Shane Hollander was doing fine. He was about to start his fourth year at Concordia University in Montreal, where he was now Captain of the Stingers, he had a solid group of friends who actually knew he was gay and were cool about it, and this time next year he would be playing for the Metros.

    He was doing great, really.

    Or he had been, until none other than Ilya Rozanov, the 28 year old KHL player who had recently disapeared from the world of hockey, became his professor and mentor.

    or: Coach Theriault inadvertently sets up professor-Ilya and student/hockey captain-Shane.

    Summary

    “Shane has boyfriend?"

    “Mom thinks so. He’s dodging my texts, but it definitely seems like he’s seeing someone.”

    Ilya's whispered "No" was drowned out by a loud snort from another teammate, who said something like, "Good for lil' bro."

    Ilya shouldn’t feel like dying. Should have expected this to happen at some point. Deserved it, even. He had been ghosting Shane for months, after all.

    In which Ilya knows he's not good enough to be with his best friend's little brother. He spirals over Shane possibly dating someone else nonetheless.

    Alternatively, Ilya will always be the one Shane will still run to.

    Summary

    “He’s such a fucking asshole.”

    “We all hate Rozanov, Hollander.”

    They hated Rozanov the same way they hated any arrogant, opposing player. It wasn’t enough. They didn’t hate him the same way Shane did—viscerally, all-consuming and down to his very bones.

    ::

    Shane Hollander hates Ilya Rozanov from the moment he first lays eyes on him.

    (Ilya doesn’t hate him at first, but he learns to.)

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov is fifteen when he wins the Hunger Games. He may be the youngest victor in history, but he's already hit his growth spurt and stands broad-shouldered and tall over the other tributes. It's no wonder, the Capitol whispers. He's already so handsome. He's not even eighteen, and the bids for his company must be astronomical.

    A year later, Ilya’s record is broken by a fourteen-year-old from Four named Shane Hollander.

    Ilya is twenty-six when they're sent back to the arena.

    Summary

    "We're setting you up with a billet situation," Fletcher continued. "It's pretty common for first-year players, especially international guys. Gives you a chance to settle in, learn the city, have someone looking out for you."

    "Okay," Ilya said slowly, not entirely sure what a billet was, but not wanting to admit his ignorance.

     He could guess from the context – he’d heard of rookies being assigned to live with older single players, veterans who could show them the ropes. Maybe that was what Fletcher meant. Connors maybe, he was probably a handful of years older than Ilya. Or perhaps Becker. Ilya just hoped it was someone who–

    "You'll be staying with Nikolai Petrov and his family."

    The words hit Ilya like a punch to the gut. For a moment, he forgot how to breathe.

    "Petrov?" he managed, his voice coming out strangled.
    __________________________________________________________________

    The Bears decide that Ilya should be set up with a billet for his first season. The idea of spending a year living with a man that Ilya is sure hates him is completely terrifying. And yet, it ends up being the best thing to ever happen to him.
