    Summary

    Ilya learns English for safety's sake.

    Shane learns Russian for Ilya's sake.

    The rest of the languages are mostly just to see if they can.

    It definitely DOESN'T make them impossible to deal with. Or better hockey players, or husbands, or friends, or captain and assistant captain. No, no. Of course not.

    Summary

    “Olesya.”
    “Oh-lee-syah,” Shane repeated slowly, making sure he pronounced it right. “What… what are you going to do?”
    “I don’t know,” Ilya said, resting his head in his hand. “I don’t fucking know.”
    Shane’s voice was steady. “What can I do?”
    How long had it been since someone offered to help Ilya? He took care of his family, carried his brother’s financial burdens, tended his own injuries, paid his way through life without aid. The question, softly spoken and rich with genuine intent, was enough to bring tears to his eyes. Could he really trust it? Could he ask someone for help?
    For once, he wanted to try.

    OR: Ilya is left with sudden custody of Alexei's daughter and calls Shane to help.

    (Set just before the cottage.)

    Summary

    After a moment, Hayden pulls back. Then he hands her the phone—Shane’s phone.

    “I grabbed this when I was getting his stuff and I saw, well.”

    He looks away from Yuna, briefly glances at David, then looks away from him too. There’s an oddly guilty look on his face that has Yuna suspicious at once.

    “Um, has Shane told you guys about Lily?”

    --

    AKA, Yuna and David find out about Lily, Shane’s... girlfriend?, while he's in the hospital. It's a while before they find out about Ilya.

    Featuring:
    - high Shane
    - Ilya angst
    - theories about who Lily could be
    - Yuna & "Lily" texting
    - identity shenanigans

    Summary

    Yuna Hollander loves her son, she truly does. And she is so, so proud of him, in so many ways. He makes it easy—he excels in so many things.

    Emotional self-awareness is not one of those things.

    Look, she knows he’s gay. David would say suspect, that she shouldn’t put labels on something that’s not hers to label, which is completely fair.

    But he’s definitely gay.

    Now, she just needs him to admit it to himself.
