    Summary

    Vincent Lemaire has been the best player on every team he's ever been on, so it makes sense when he's nominated for Rookie of the Year. Ethan Korogyi has been winning national championships since he was twelve years old, so it's only logical that he goes third in the draft overall.

    But those achievements don't really matter. They don't mean anything when they are perpetually behind Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov.

    At least they have each other. That's something Rozanov and Hollander will never understand.

    Summary

    12-year-old Shane Hollander hates the shopping trip they always do first thing when they arrive at the cottage every summer. He just doesn't get why they can't just bring all the stuff they need with them from Ottawa so he can get on with his vacation. But when this year's shopping trip ends with him meeting the very cool and mysterious Ilya Rozanov, the son of the new flower seller in town, well, he finds he doesn't mind it as much this year. He's hoping he's finally found the friend he's never quite been able to make. And if this friend has a smile that maybe makes his heart do little backflips sometimes, well that's just because Shane is excited to finally have a friend to make smile... right?

    Or, what would happen if Irina chose another way to escape, brought Ilya to Canada, and he and Shane became childhood best friends? Without the rivalry, without the need to be enemies, would they figure out the rest?

    Summary

    Yuna and Ilya might not be close yet, but she certainly isn’t going to abandon him in some random Ottawa hotel room when he’s sick. And Ilya's powerless against these Hollanders — their earnest kindness, and their insistence on caring about him as though he deserves it.

    Or: Yuna + Ilya's mortifying ordeal of being known.

    Summary

    Everybody thinks hockey players are stupid. Having an accent certainly doesn’t help.

    Ilya Rozanov never bothered correcting people, but it wasn’t his job to fit their expectations either.
    He wasn’t hiding it, it just wasn’t important, and he wasn’t the type to show off (oh, Shane would laugh at that, but for this specific aspect it was true).

    It just never came up. Until it did.
