    Summary

    One would think that a hockey themed queer bar is simply too weird to attract enough people to stay in business long. However, it's perfect for Ilya Rozanov, who never had a job he loved more than tending the bar at the Chill & Shooters.

    It's also probably the best place for one Shane Hollander to finally figure out if he likes men.

    Summary

    On good days it was a low pressure system, dull and manageable.

    On bad days it rolled in without notice, sharp enough to steal his breath for a second, but never long enough to justify leaving the ice. He felt the creeping increase like the buzz of static in the air before a thunderstorm, the way you could detect rain in the air long before it fell.

    There was a quiet pride in that, even if he didn’t like to admit it.

    Summary

    Familiars don't get like this unless something has gone very, very wrong with their witch.

    Shane swallows. That complicates things. "Okay," he murmurs, more to himself than the wolf. "I can't treat you out here."

    //
    Shane is a witch living alone in the forest. He finds Ilya, a Familiar, who decides he does not want to leave. It might be a formula for disaster, but Shane's always been quite good with those.

    Summary

    He went silent again, his brow furrowed so hard it looked painful. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He stood up, his hockey gear clanking loudly.

    "I have it. I see on internet. A man. He has jar. He has bubbles."

    Shane blinked. "Bubbles? Like... a fish?"

    "No," Ilya said, pacing the room like a caged bear. "He make life from dust. He mix powder and water. He wait. He feed it like baby. Then... BREAD."

    "Oh so baking, you want to try baking bread?" Shane asked skeptically.

    "Not just bake, Shane. Sourdough. Is complex. Is science. Is war with yeast." Ilya's voice grew passionate, his Russian accent thickening. "It is sour, like my childhood. It is hard crust, like my heart."

    Summary

    Shane's mouth opens and closes. Blood bubbles at his lips. He thinks of Ilya. Not as he is now, god-bright and terrible, but laughing, unhelmed, with his hair loose and his hands stained with oil and dust. He thinks of the tent, of shared bread, of the long, quiet hours when the war felt distant and survivable.

    “Ilya,” he manages, it comes out as a breath more than a word, a plea.
