    Summary

    Ilya pressed closer. “You fold their clothes,” he said roughly. “You skate with me. You carry our children and fight for them and I-” He broke off, swallowing. “There is no word in Russian. Or English. Not good enough.”

    Shane turned slowly in his arms. They were close now. Too close. Not enough.

    He reached up, cupped Ilya’s jaw with one hand. “You don't have to have a word,” he said. “You love me. I know.”

    Ilya’s eyes darkened. “Yes. I am walked.

    Shane grinned, amused and aroused in equal measure. “Oh yeah?”

    “Yes. You… make me fetch oat milk. And remember recycling. And vacuum couch crumbs. I captain national team, but in home I am…” he shrugged, mock-suffering. “I am whipped. Like cream.”

    Shane snorted this time, eyes bright in adoration to Ilya and his usage of new English slang. Shane reached for the hem of Ilya’s shirt and tugged him forward. His voice was light but knowing. “And yet you still think you’re the lucky one.”

    Summary

    Shane takes a rough check during a game. Ilya takes care of him when they get home. Shane can't help his response when Ilya keeps calling him "baby."

    Set after The Long Game, but can be read if you just accept Shane and Ilya BOTH play for Ottawa now and also have a dog.

    Title from George Michael's "Father Figure," because I am both a cliche and a bad person.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is just trying to survive—NYU biochemistry, hockey practice, and the graveyard shift at a Manhattan 7-Eleven. He's too tired to notice that his new regular customer is clearly Russian mafia, or that Ilya's interest in him goes beyond terrible coffee.

    When Ilya gives him a $10k scarf and gloves, Shane sells them for rent money. Any normal person would be terrified. Ilya is fascinated.

    Ilya has heard many stories in his life; about siblings' clothes, old toys and battered hockey equipment, stories of families so unlike his own, where all he inherited was rage, pain and resentment. Now, all he can think of is the history that hides behind the love and worn-down items that now take place in his life, like David’s old leather jacket that he now gets to claim as his own or the family recipes Yuna writes down for him to try.

    He thinks of the newfound sense of belonging he encountered in Ottawa, and the families he formed— with the Hollanders and the Centaurs, and wonders if there’s a need for more.

    Or, a surprise visit from Russia threatens to change Ilya’s family structure forever. It doesn’t have to be something bad.
