  1. Ilya has been thinking about his mother again. Not that he ever really stops but lately...Yes, lately he is thinking about Irina Rozanova but also about Irina Sokolova. About Irina before Alexei or Ilya. Before Grigori Rozanov. Irina Sokolova - the champion figure skater. The world championship title she won. The routine she developed and agonised over and perfected but never took to the Olympics.

    And he has been doing something stupid. Something he absolutely should not be doing. But he is one year away from reaching an age his mother never got to see and he needs...something. He’s pretty sure it’s this particular something.

    But Dr. Galina has been implying that perhaps it is only stupid in the way that falling in love with your arch-rival is stupid. So maybe he should just give up already and get on with it.

  2. Shane is in the front pew. His face is—Ilya does not have words for what Shane's face is doing. He has seen Shane angry and afraid and exhausted and soft and undone. He has never seen this. This is something below all of those things, something that lives at the very bottom of a person, that surfaces only when the thing above it has given way.

    This is what it looks like when Shane has nothing left to manage.

    Ilya reaches for him.

    His hand passes through air.

    -

    Or: Ilya Rozanov turns the same age his mother was when she died. Featuring strange dreams, tarot readings, and a woman with her back to him who keeps appearing where she shouldn’t.

    A man who spent twenty years preparing to die, and one husband who refuses to let him.

  3. “A lot of people were surprised by the video of Rozanov and Hollander last season, especially given the distraction it created around the playoffs. What was the reaction in the Bears locker room?”

    Or, Seb and Marly are left unsupervised at a post-game Bears press conference, and share their unfiltered thoughts.

  4. “Capitaine!” J.J.’s booming voice greeted him as if he was on speaker. It had been over two seasons since Shane signed with Ottawa, but J.J. insisted on calling him Capitaine still.
    “Hi J.J., what’s up?”
    “What’s up with you, hat trick against Toronto yesterday! Crisse, what are they feeding you in Ottawa?”

    Even when on different teams, the “J.J. always calls and never texts” rule still applies.

  5. Marly is hungover and absolutely not ready for a trivia brunch about Roz and Hollander the morning after their wedding. The Bears know almost nothing about the couple, so they fall back on what they do know, the lovely Montreal Jane, but the more they answer, the stranger it gets.

    Or, just how similar were Jane and Hollander, and how did Roz end up with what was a carbon copy of the same person? The lucky asshole.

    POV Cliff Marlow, who is the real MVP!

  6. Ilya knew, right from the very moment he met Shane Hollander, that he would never be good enough for him. He’d seemed so…pristine, when they first met. Untouched. And Ilya knew his unclean hands would only dirty him up. He’s always been selfish, though; his father used to tell him that. So it’s no surprise, really, that Shane has finally gotten tired of it. Of him, always needing more from Shane than he deserves - always begging for more than he has earned. Ilya would leave himself, too, if he could. (Or, five time Ilya thought Shane would leave, and one time he knew he wasn’t going anywhere.)

  7. In the midst of a press conference announcing an expansion of the Irina Foundation to include two camps in Europe, a homophobic “activist” attempts to disrupt Shane and Ilya's statements. He seems to have forgotten that Shane is a professional athlete. It's a swift reminder.

  9. Ilya Hollander (Mila's Dad) [2:18pm]:
    Are you free tomorrow? Mila is very excited for Maddie to come over

    Bring your Centaurs fan husband!


    The minivan is the first thing Jane notices when they pull up the Hollanders' driveway.

    “See?” she says pointedly to her husband. “They drive a normal car.”

    “Janie, that’s a ninety-thousand dollar minivan,” Chris says. He puts the car in park; he’s been nervous since they left the house, but he’d never say so.

    “You need to relax,” Jane laughs. “They’re just two nice, normal dads, who invited us over so our kids can play hockey.”

    “Yeah, just normal, millionaire dads with like, seven Stanley Cups between them–”

    Jane cuts him off. “You know how hard it’s been to make friends with some of the hockey parents here. These guys are nice! And the girls get along so well!” She points a finger at her husband’s face and lowers her voice. “Don’t screw this up for her.”

  12. Ilya had Shane only in fleeting moments for nearly ten years. Rushed hookups and greedy hands grabbing at anything and everything he could to savor every second of the limited time he knew he was running out of.

    And then they got married.

  19. Shane was fourteen the first time a number felt like safety.

    The nutritionist worked out of an office in Kanata, framed certificates, a calm voice, laminated charts with columns. She explained it simply: fuel in, output required, timing of each. She said it was a starting point.

    Shane took notes in the margins the way he took notes on everything—completely, past what was required. Yuna had found the nutritionist herself, sat beside him, and took notes too.

    Like mother, like son.

    Or: Shane’s system works until it doesn’t; Ilya notices first.

  20. The summer before his second season with the Centaurs, Shane Hollander is supposed to have his body and his life under control. He’s married, training hard, doing everything right.

    So the nausea, the bone-deep exhaustion, the aching chest and low back, the way his body feels wrong in all the old ways he thought he’d outrun?

    He blames stress. He blames the season. He blames anything but himself.

    Shane knows his body. He has spent years fighting for it.

    But one rushed doctor’s visit turns into an ultrasound, and suddenly he’s thirty-plus weeks pregnant with a baby he didn’t plan, didn’t want, and doesn’t know how to make peace with.

    Now he can’t outrun anything anymore.
    Not the dysphoria. Not the fear of the league finding out.
    Not the family he’s already carrying.
