    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

    Shane is still learning that he doesn't have to be perfect in his own relationship. Ilya is still learning the rules of Shane's bad days. So when Shane tries to push him away after a crushing loss, it leads to a tense argument. But ten years of rivalry are no match for Shane’s tears; the second he starts to cry, Ilya folds like a house of cards.

    Or: Shane tries to starve himself as punishment for losing, Ilya tries to feed him, and it turns into a very soft night of pampering because Ilya is legally incapable of staying angry at a crying Shane.

    Summary

    In this universe, no one breaks Harry out of his cupboard. No Hagrid, no Hogwarts letter, no magic to save him. Just a twelve-year-old boy who realizes that waiting for rescue is a fairy tale, and fairy tales don't come true.

    So Harry saves himself. Stolen passport, £520, and a flight to Canada that leaves him alone in a foreign city with no plan beyond "survive."

    He wasn't looking for Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander. But they found him anyway.

    And it turns out that learning to skate is a lot like learning to trust: you fall down a hundred times before it finally clicks.

    (Or: The one where Harry Potter runs away to Canada and accidentally finds a family.)
