Summary
After their engagement, Ilya and Shane return to Russia under the cover of the Irina Foundation, knowing it may be the last time Ilya ever sets foot there. What waits for him is not closure, but grief, memory, and a past he learned to survive by becoming quiet and hard.
It isn’t about going back to the life he escaped.
It’s about one final goodbye—to the place that shaped him, and to the mother he never stopped missing.With Shane beside him—steady, patient, and fiercely careful—Ilya faces grief he’s spent years surviving, old fear that still lives in his bones, and the quiet truth he’s been avoiding:
some doors don’t close cleanly… but you can still choose how to leave them.This is a story about grief, survival, and choosing a future where home is no longer a place, but a person.

Summary
The 2026 Winter Olympics mark the first Games since Sochi to welcome NHL players back to the world stage, and the first where Ilya Rozanov will wear the maple leaf for Team Canada instead of the Russian crest he grew up with.
Now captain of the Ottawa Centaurs and married to Shane Hollander, Ilya has built a life defined by love, safety, and belonging in the country that finally let him be himself. As the Olympic season begins and the world watches his historic switch, pride and grief collide in ways he never expected.
Because sometimes loving where you are does not mean you stop missing where you came from.
**This fic follows live with the real Olympics and incorporates events and easter eggs as they happen. Any explicit scenes are self contained and are said to be explicit in the opening note**
