    Summary

    Scott's been the subject of a lot of rude comments, on and off the ice. One of the things he'd braced himself for. One thing he hadn't expected was to hear that people who made those comments while playing Ottawa tended to get punched by one Ilya Rozanov.

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov is many things, most of all, he's perceptive.

    When he sees just how miserable Hayden Pike is on the Montreal Voyageurs, he makes a plan to get the man signed with the Centaurs. Not for Pike's sake, of course. But because Shane misses him. That's it. Not at all because he feels bad or thinks that Pike deserves better. Nothing like that at all.

    Summary

    Ilya doesn’t even realize when Arthur slips from his thoughts. There’s no sharp turn, no clear moment where the article stops being about a little boy who loves reptiles and starts being about the man lying beside him in bed. It just… happens. The way his mind always seems to find Shane eventually, like water finding its lowest point.

    Summary

    “-moya rybka, I am sorry, sweet girl-” Ilya is saying, on his knees in the middle of their living room and patting the rug near him with what looks like devastation on his face as Anya continues to ignore him, curled up on Shane’s lap instead. Fresh off of several stacked events to fit them into a weekend–because Shane’s mom is nothing if not efficient when it comes to the deals she makes–Ilya got home only a few minutes ago, still in the outfit he’d left his Buzzfeed puppy interview in, which Anya had clearly not appreciated, sniffing him suspiciously after her initial excited greeting and then retreating to Shane immediately when he patted his thigh in welcome.

    Shane is trying not to be obviously enjoying Ilya’s turmoil as much as he is, shifting Anya to lay on her back like a baby in one arm and cooing at her.

    “I know, huh? Papa left and played with who knows how many other dogs, and the whole time you were here missing him. I bet he wasn’t even thinking about you, huh?”

    “Hollander!” Ilya says, sounding scandalized. “Do not tell her that! Is not true!”

    Summary

    During the quiet stretch of the off-season, when the world slows and the rink sits nearly empty, Shane and Ilya make a life-changing decision, they become foster parents.

    They expect paperwork, waiting, and time to prepare. Instead, they get three children that same night.

    Logan, Kaitlyn, and Maggie arrive with everything they own in trash bags and more weight on their shoulders than any child should carry. What follows is their journey of learning how to comfort, navigate anger, and how to build trust with kids who have only ever known instability.
