    Summary

    "We are going on a boat tour of the lake!"

    "Oh, cool!"

    Shane was a little underwhelmed by the surprise. He assumed they would do this at some point. A boat was the best way to see the villas and towns surrounding the lake. He wasn't sure why Rose was making a big deal out of this.

    "But, not just any tour," she continued. "The captain of this specific boat is, according to about 35 reviews on TripAdvisor, 'the hottest guy you'll ever see'."

    There it was. She was trying to set him up again. With an Italian boat captain this time, so at least she got points for originality.

    "Rose. Do not try to set me up with some random Italian man."

    "First of all, he's not Italian, he's Russian. And he's not random. In fact, I did extensive research about him. He used to play hockey!"

    Or, after the Prospect cup in 2008, Ilya disappeared and never made it to the NHL. 18 years later, he's driving a tour boat on Lake Como, and Shane is his passenger.

    Summary

    “You know, I’m a good kisser.”
    Shane must have been dreaming. What the hell was happening? Rozanov couldn’t possibly be suggesting that they…
    Another step. He was so close now that Shane could feel the heat of his body. His shirt brushed Rozanov’s naked chest. If Shane dared to look up, their faces would be close enough to touch.
    “That day, last year, in the gym…If I kissed you, you would have kissed back.”
    It was not a question.
    Shane wished he could look away but he felt under a spell. Gravity pulling him towards the Russian. Rozanov just seemed to be considering him curiously, and maybe enjoying the effect he knew he was having on him.

    (Or where Shane and Ilya start out as teammates, and Ilya likes to be helpful)

    Summary

    Something was wrong. A wave of protectiveness swept up within him before he stamped on it hard, unleashing a powerful strike at the goal on the assist automatically. He didn’t even bother to look to see if it went in, his eyes reorienting themself to where Hollander was shrugging off a medic. 

    It was his Dom side, he knew. Latching onto someone it thought was his and wanting to save them from the world. But Hollander wasn’t his. He was a fun hook up, and interesting company once you got to know him a bit, but not his

    Ilya hasn't seen Hollander since Vegas, and the first time they meet on the ice, months later, Hollander's playing is awful. Ilya's a Dom, a high level one, but as far as he knows Hollander's a Null, no designation. Doesn't need headspace. Doesn't Scene. Doesn't Drop.

    But Hollander is Dropping. Has Dropped. And no one else seems to notice. So Ilya steps in without really thinking things through.

    I know no hockey. I have seen the TV series, read The Long Game, and this is something that came out.

    Summary

    “Uh, hello,” Ilya says when the cat rises up on its legs and stretches, back bending and paws curling down. Its ears flick and it gives him a dour sort of mwor in return. Witches have familiars, Ilya knows that. And this is a perfect spot for a familiar to be, on the stoop of the witch's house. Logic follows that the cat must be the witch's familiar.

    So he says, very politely, “Shane is expecting us,” even though he has no idea if that’s true or not.

    The cat yawns, tiny sharp teeth flashing at Ilya. Its ears flick again and then it curls up into a ball of fur, right there on the brick wall despite the fact that they’re hurtling towards the end of November and it’s fucking freezing outside.

    “Is that good or bad, do you think,” Ilya asks Seryozha in Russian, gesturing at the cat when the familiar doesn’t move again except to curl its tail over the tip of its pink nose.

    Seryozha’s phone screen flashes white in the darkness. That is a cat, he types, and Ilya scowls. It’s a fucking magical cat.
