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.

Summary
Langdon drags a hand across his face, not even looking at her anymore, but he still feels too close, way too close. “Jesus Christ.”
Trinity tries to breathe through the pounding in her heart.
“If you don’t take a few steps back, this is about to get a lot more humiliating for both of us,” she says tightly, hoping Langdon can’t hear the slight waver in her voice.
~~~
Getting stuck in a closet with a man who could hurt her is not a scenario which Trinity Santos is prepared to be calm about.

Summary
Robert seems so confused. And yet, he looks so in love, like he said he would always be, and Aaron has never wanted to hug him more.
“Well.” Robert says, and Aaron can see how he’s trying to be brave, “I guess it’s not Christmas 2017 anymore, isn’t it?”aka
John has been found out and arrested, Aaron is broken and in love, and Robert doesn't remember a thing since he left the pub on that fated day in 2017.

Summary
Aaron and Robert are best friends. Aaron is also truly, madly, deeply, stupidly, in love with Robert. Robert doesn’t know this. Aaron’s perfectly fine with that.
He’d thought he would be perfectly fine with all of it forever actually, so long as Robert remained his best mate. He didn’t need anything more from him than that.
But right now, Robert is standing on his doorstep, soaked from the pouring rain, with a split lip and a nasty shiner blooming on his face, and Aaron knows he’ll never be perfectly fine again until he puts whoever did this in the ground.

Summary
“Ilya,” he clarified, wincing as he swallowed, his throat feeling like he’d eaten a fistful of glass. “I need to call Ilya.”
He fumbled around for his phone, desperately needing to hear his fiance’s voice. Together, they could figure this out. They’d make a plan. Ilya could drive with his parents from Ottawa and–
But Ilya wasn’t in Ottawa. He was in Russia.
No.
No.
They’d kill Ilya in Russia. They’d kill him, or arrest him, or– or–
Oh god, they’d kill him.
__________________________________________________________________________A family emergency means Ilya is in Russia when Hayden's FanMail video ends up on Twitter, outing them to the entire world. It, predictably, ends horribly.
