    Summary

    Sebastian was always like a little sunshine, even in the darkest days. He believed that people were good, that the world had room for everyone – but after presenting as an omega, he was forced to face the unfairness and coldness of it.

    Strangely enough, he discovers that the warmest place in the world is in Kimi’s arms – even though the Finn himself, down to his pheromones, seems to be made of ice.

    Summary

    "We're setting you up with a billet situation," Fletcher continued. "It's pretty common for first-year players, especially international guys. Gives you a chance to settle in, learn the city, have someone looking out for you."

    "Okay," Ilya said slowly, not entirely sure what a billet was, but not wanting to admit his ignorance.

     He could guess from the context – he’d heard of rookies being assigned to live with older single players, veterans who could show them the ropes. Maybe that was what Fletcher meant. Connors maybe, he was probably a handful of years older than Ilya. Or perhaps Becker. Ilya just hoped it was someone who–

    "You'll be staying with Nikolai Petrov and his family."

    The words hit Ilya like a punch to the gut. For a moment, he forgot how to breathe.

    "Petrov?" he managed, his voice coming out strangled.

    The Bears decide that Ilya should be set up with a billet for his first season. The idea of spending a year living with a man that Ilya is sure hates him is completely terrifying. And yet, it ends up being the best thing to ever happen to him.

    Summary

    “I just wish Lily was in Montreal. Sucks that the ‘Lily secret weapon’ is only in Boston.”

    Cliff pauses then. Hand stuck midair as he was reaching for his beer. “Lily’s in Boston?”

    “Yeah man. Sorry to burst your bubble, not all Boston girls are loyal to the Bears.”

    Cliff turns to Hayden then. Cocking his head a little to the side, his eyes are searching Hayden’s face as if he was trying to read his mind. He opens his mouth to speak. He closes it. He shakes his head a little. And opens his mouth again,

    “That’s so fucking weird dude. Roz’s ‘Jane’ is in Montreal. What are the odds those fuckers have girls in each other city’s. That would be next level rivalry, man."

     

    AKA Cliff and Hayden run into each other on a night out and start gossiping
