Summary
“So, your dad’s kind of… intense.”
Ilya glanced at Sveta. They were behind the school, savouring the hour Ilya had between classes and hockey practice, both sipping on the chocolate milk their school had supplied during lunch.
“Does he ever, I don’t know, hug you?” Sveta asked, and Ilya hated how she looked at him. Almost like she felt sorry for him.
“Sure he does,” Ilya said, shrugging. “When I win at hockey, I guess.”
“And Alyosha?”
Ilya had to actually think about this one. And he felt uneasy when he realised that no, he’d never quite seen Grigori hug Alexei. “He’s not very good at hockey,” Ilya said, disliking how meek he sounded.
Or: Being queer in Russia, Grigori Rozanov's awful parenting, and Ilya's struggle to survive it.

Summary
Being an autistic Russian boy was a problem. Ilya’s English was bad; his social skills were even worse. There was a constant, lingering feeling of never fitting in—neither with his family nor with the other players. Rozanov was good on ice, but not confident enough to believe it.
And then there was this boy. Bold. Charismatic. Always watching him.
Shane Hollander never looked away. He got under Ilya’s skin so deeply Rozanov couldn’t get him out of his head.
(OR: Reverse AU! shy Rozanov × confident Hollander)

Summary
September 2015
Ilya Rozanov is fine. He comes back from summer in Russia a little worse for the wear, with minor injuries sustained during an argument with his brother. It’s nothing he hasn’t dealt with before. Except someone takes a photo, and suddenly his bruises are all over the internet.
He just has to get through the first preseason game against Montreal. Once the public sees he can play normally, scrutiny will die down.
He doesn’t account for a far more private scrutiny: Shane Hollander is on the Voyageurs roster and, against all expectations, determined to get to the bottom of what happened to Ilya in Moscow.

Summary
"Sveta," he says, before she can greet him. "I think I'm about to do something very stupid."
"You're always doing something stupid," she laughs, her voice tinny over the speakerphone. "What is it this time?"
"I am in a staring contest with a bottle of pills," Ilya says. "And I think the pills might win."
