    Summary

    A few months after Ilya joins the Centaurs, his apartment gets a gas leak. It's a perfectly inconvenient time to be out of housing, but luckily, Yuna and David come to the rescue. Now, Ilya just has to survive a week living with in-laws that may or may not hate his guts.

    As it turns out, his expectations could not have been more subverted.

    Summary

    “So,” Ilya starts, drumming his fingers on his knees. “You want tuna melt when we get home?” 

    “What?” Shane says, distracted. “We just had dinner.” 

    “Yes,” Ilya says. “But you had children’s portion.” 

    Shane sends him an incredulous look. “I had two servings.” 

    “Of baby food.” 

    “Ilya.” 

    “Shane.” 

    Shane sighs. “Can we not do this? Please.” 

    Unfortunately for Shane, they must do this.

    Or: Shane's restrictive eating versus Hayden Pike and Ilya Rozanov.

    Summary

    One security camera. One leaked video. One choice that changes everything.

    Ilya Rozanov loses his country, his team, and his shot at Olympic gold in a single night. But he doesn’t lose Shane, and that makes all the difference.

    A story about finding home in a person, not a place. About choosing love over legacy. And about winning the medal you never knew you needed, standing next to the one person who matters most.

    Summary

    Surprisingly, Rozanov seemed to understand completely. “Long distance is hard, yes?”

    Wyatt saw Bood’s eyebrows raise. “You talking about your girl, Rozy?”

    Rozanov shrugged. “We know what it is like. I have had years of practice. Was complicated. Long distance is shit. It is better now I am here, in Ottawa.”

    “What?”

    “Yes, uh- she is from Ottawa.”

    Bood’s mouth dropped open. “That’s why you moved teams? For her?”
