    Summary

    “I’m telling you, Shane,” Ilya says. “I take birthdays very seriously.”

    Shane lets out a dignified snort. “Sure.”

    “And I take your birthday the most seriously. It is my job as your boyfriend, yeah?”

    Shane’s heart squeezes in his chest. “Yeah, okay.”

    Ilya smiles, his eyes softening. “Moy lyubimiyy,” he murmurs. “I am going to celebrate you the way you deserve.”
     
    * * *

    Shane is used to being told he’s impossible to buy a birthday present for. It’s not exactly fun to be reminded of this fact about himself year after year, but he’s come to accept that it’s probably his own fault. After all, what do you give a man who has zero interests outside hockey and keeps his cards close to his chest?

    Turns out, his boyfriend might have a few ideas.

    (Or, Shane celebrates his birthday with Ilya for the first time since they started dating, and Ilya proves he’s the indisputable king of giving gifts.)

    Summary

    Good riddance, he thinks. Or maybe feels obligated to think. He’s not sure. It feels like a natural thing to think about a brother who hit you and insulted you and extorted you for most of your short, miserable time together. He’s thought about it before, Alexei dying. The life he lived had not been conductive to longevity.

    I am the last Rozanov, he thinks, and that is an emotion he can parse, finally: closure. Like setting the last piece down in a puzzle.

    It’s only after the first puff of smoke escapes his lips that Ilya remembers Alexei’s daughter.

    Or:
    Two years after he gets married, Ilya Rozanov receives the news that his older brother has died.

    Summary

    Hayden begins to panic with urgency. He flings the sheets off his body and scrabbles madly for the nightstand.
