    Summary

    Cliff Marleau never imagined he'd find himself in Ottawa. Recovering from an injury and released by the team he thought he’d retire from, he tells himself it could be worse. He still gets to play hockey, even if it is in Canada's most boring city. His team is good. His captain is his best friend. So what if the nightlife is lacking and he's feeling a bit lonely? It could be worse.

    Then Andrei Rozanov turns up out of nowhere, desperate and dripping on his brother’s porch. Begging for help Ilya is not willing to give.

    A good deed lands Cliff in the middle of the Rozanov family drama, caught between his captain and a man he only just met but cannot help wanting to protect. For the first time in his life, he’s met someone he wants to keep. Someone who makes him want impossible things. Someone who feels like home. He's determined to bridge the gap between the brothers, but with the ugly voice of his own father echoing in his head and the end of his hockey career shadowing his every step, Cliff isn't sure he can be the man that Andrei needs. There are so many ways it could go wrong.

    But if there is even the slimmest hope of it going right, Cliff is going to chase it with all the ferocity he brings to the ice.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander when asked about speculations of his boyfriend Ilya Rozanov ‘tanking’ on purpose to reunite with him in Providence : “...What? He gets an earful from me every time they send him down. He has lousy puck control and weak defense and needs to work on his shooting accuracy and you think I want it to stay that way? No I don't want my boyfriend to be a joke of a player, I'd like him to put decent enough numbers that he doesn't get moved up and down the NHL and the AHL like an idiot. Now leave me alone.”

    or: Ilya Rozanov is a mediocre fourth liner of the Boston Bears. When he gets outed, the internet theorizes he plays poorly on purpose. His boyfriend isn't amused.

    Summary

    Hayes’ eyebrows go up at that. “You think? Wait, surely you know who’s who?”

    Ilya scoffs as if it’s offensive to even question him about it. “Of course. One is Jules and one is Florian,” he says instead of answering the actual question. He gestures towards one twin and then the other, hoping he remembers it correctly.

    Ilya prides himself on his ability to remember names and faces so well. Then the Centaurs just had to draft identical twins.

    Summary

    Finally, something dawns on him, a way to handle two goals simultaneously. He’d seen Hollander’s mother flipping through papers rapidly when they first got here, seeming calm and in control and more than a little frightening in a way that made Ilya mildly glad he wasn’t one of the people responsible for a clipboard. If anyone can tell him if the long list of “Prohibited Items” he’d been sent in his email a few days ago is just standard practice for big shoots, it would be Yuna Hollander.

    Or, hopefully, her son.

    “Crazy we cannot even have peanut butter, eh?” He asks. “You also got giant list?”

    Hollander stiffens, almost imperceptibly, and Ilya tilts his head, just slightly, confused, wondering if he’s stumbled somewhere unexpected.
