    Summary

    “Did you like them? My parents?”

    Ilya squints at him. “I love them,” he says simply, like it should be obvious. “They’re your parents.”

    But, Shane thinks idly, there's a difference, isn't there, between loving them and liking them?

    (5 times Shane thinks Ilya doesn't like his parents and 1 time he finds out the truth)

    Summary

    Ilya doesn’t remember slamming his fist down on the counter. Or even making the decision to do so. The thing he won’t ever be able to forget, however?

    Is the quiet, almost inaudible intake of breath from behind him. The wide-eyed expression of pure, unadulterated fear on Dima’s face when Ilya, ripping the headphones off his head, whirls around to look at him. Dima’s defensive stance, his tense shoulders, his harsh breathing, the wariness with which he’s staring at Ilya as if Ilya’s—as if he’s everything Dima’s ever been afraid of in his life, made real and palpable right in front of him.

    [5 times Ilya has to contend with the heartbreaking fact that his nephew is terrified of him, plus the 1 time he realizes that might not actually be true anymore.]

    [Can be read as a standalone.]

    Summary

    “Rozanov needs a place to stay. His visa won’t allow him to go home to Russia over the break, and we don’t have the cash to put him in a hotel.”

    Did the Harvard dorms completely shut down over the winter break? What about the dining hall? Shane supposed he didn’t really know. He’d never stuck around to find out, when he was younger. 

    “Okay?” 

    Coach raised his eyebrows. “So, he’s staying with you.” 

    Shane’s eyes went wide. 

    “What?” 

    “Come on, Captain,” Wiebe looked down his nose at Shane. “Try not to look too thrilled.”

     
    *

     
    or, Shane's a senior captain with an empty house over winter break. and Ilya's the freshman who will be crashing his Christmas.
