    Summary

    There are so many things these days that Nikolai Petrov can’t believe. He can’t believe he’s actually going to get to play professional hockey. Can’t believe he isn’t going to be relegated to some second rate Russian league in Moscow. But most of all, he can’t believe that he’s standing on Ilya Rozanov’s doorstep. 

    ---

    The Ottawa Centaurs have a new Russian rookie - the first Russian rookie Ilya's ever had, and Ilya is determined to make him feel welcome. Petrov finds that Rozanov and Hollander aren't at all what he expected (Hollander is somehow even more Canadian than he thought possible), but they somehow make him feel just a little more at home in this strange new country.

    Summary

    Shane’s fingertips lazily trace down the middle of his back, and then tap their way back up. Ilya wants to die here.

    “If you could be any animal,” Shane asks, yawning in the middle of the sentence, “what animal would you be?”

    There is a lot of getting to know each other that has yet to be done, but for now, Shane asks a question and Ilya answers.

    Summary

    Luca Haas, in his second year with the Ottawa Centaurs, hits his stride. His game is great, his team is even better. Sure, he has one friend outside of hockey, but that's fine. And it's two friends if you count his cat. He has settled into life in a way he would have never thought possible. And then, lightening strikes. Of course, when that happens, his team takes it upon themselves to interfere. And between a roster of hockey players, an evil lesbian, and a badly behaved cat, Luca might find out just how much better things can get, even when they feel like they're already great. That is, if he survives the embarrassment of it all.

    Summary

    “I feel really good about this kid, I think he could be great on your wing, he just needs some help settling in. Someone to show him the ropes.”

    “Yes.”

    The line went silent for a moment. Ilya wasn’t really sure why his coach felt the need to run this by him.

    “Rozanov,” his coach said at last. “I want him to live with you.”

    Ilya blinked, then nearly shouted into the phone. “What?”

    or, Ilya stays in Boston, gets a rookie, and tries to figure out how to make a secret long distance relationship work while there's a Russian teenager in his house
