    Summary

    “See you in Ottawa next month, okay?"

    Ilya presses his lips together. “So we will really be in Ottawa for my birthday, then?”

    “Yeah, looks like it,” Shane says. “Don’t worry, it’ll still be fun.”

    “Oh, I am sure,” Ilya drawls. “Ottawa is nothing if not fun.”

    * * *

    Ilya is about to exchange Boston for the suburbs of Ottawa, and everything is fine. He’s definitely looking forward to moving to a city that’s notorious for being boring as hell. He’s also coping spectacularly well with how oppressively quiet his new surroundings are because it’s not like his most anxious thoughts amplify in the silence. Oh, and Shane wants to come over and celebrate Ilya’s birthday with him in his half-furnished house? That’s fine, too.

    He’ll be fine. Everything will be fine.

    (Or, Ilya moves to Ottawa. Shane welcomes him home.)

    Summary

    The truth is, Chris isn’t sure he wants to be on the throne. No one wants a liability as their king. No one wants a monster as their king.

    And yet, he no longer has a choice. Instead, he is here, and he is keeping secrets, and in two days, he will be married to Felix.

    Or; an arranged marriage, full moons, and the complicated burden of keeping secrets and falling in love.

    Summary

    "Rozy," Brian, the team doctor says, "talk to me, buddy. That puck clipped you pretty good, how’s the pain?"

    Ilya blinks. He clenches his jaw against a wave of nausea. He rests his cheek on the ice, and the cold helps a little.

    "Bad. Very bad." He swallows. "Is Shane here?"

    -

    or, in the final MTL/BOS game of the year, ilya takes a puck to the head.

    Summary

    “I was trying to be cool about it.” The confession is a quiet whine, muffled into Shane's palms. “Go with the flow, y’know?”

    It’s almost unbearable, how much Ilya adores this perfect, neurotic man. “Hollander,” he says patiently. “You have never once gone with flow. Not ever in your life.”

    There is only one grey cloud in the perfect blue sky of Ilya’s summer.

    His two weeks at the cottage are almost over, and Shane still hasn’t asked him to stay.
