    Summary

    “Ilya, what are we gonna do?” Shane says.

    Ilya finishes whatever he has been doing on his phone, and tosses it gently to the bed beside him. He crosses the room to Shane, stands in front of him, squeezes into his shoulders with his big hands, rubbing them like he means to warm them up.

    “Looks like we will have a little vacation,” he says, with a big obnoxious grin.

     


     

    Boston and Montreal are sent to Paris to play against each other in an exhibition series in January 2017. Ilya and Shane decide to stay in Paris for one more night. Just one more night, so they can talk. Maybe finally understand each other.

    They aren't expecting a volcano to erupt in Iceland and close all the airspace in Europe, leaving them stranded there. Together.

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov is having the best birthday of his life, so when a reporter asks him a fairly harmless question he can't help but be a lot more honest than anyone is expecting.

    "If you could go back just a couple years before all of this started, to the sixteen year old kid playing hockey in Russia, what would you say to him?"

    Summary

    As a straight man, Ilya Rozanov has never had a gay roommate before, but it’s going pretty well. Shane Hollander is kind, silly, and an even bigger hockey nut than Ilya.

    So when Shane starts bringing men over, and Ilya begins to want to bash their fucking heads in, Ilya comes to a startling conclusion: He must be homophobic.

    (He’s jealous.)

    Summary

    The chain is new, but this is undoubtedly his necklace. His mothers necklace. 

    Skipping his fingers greedily along the chain, Ilya hurries to put it on, fumbling with the strange clasp until he hears a satisfying click of it locking in place. The weight is more than he’s used to, sits heavy on his skin where the previous one had danced and moved with him.

    It could feel cloying, choking; instead, it offers reassurance.

    I’m here. Not lost. Still here.

    His chest heaves with another sob, and Ilya darts into the bathroom; he needs a mirror, he needs to see-

    The thicker chain, new and sparkling, glimmers even in the shitty hotel bathroom lighting.

    OR

    Ilya loses his necklace, and it almost costs him Shane too.
