  Summary

  There's no good way to be stuck in an elevator. Not when you're stuck in an elevator with someone who treats being annoying as an art form he wants to perfect, and definitely not when that person is your son's rival who you've hated for years.

  But, when Yuna finds herself stuck in an elevator with Ilya Rozanov, she realises there's more to the story than she'd seen.

  Summary

  Ilya is two hours late to meet Shane and now has to make it up to him. Shane doesn't always have the words to explain what he needs, but fortunately Ilya has learned his body enough to figure it out and give it to him anyway.

  • Ilya so badly needs a mother and Yuna would like to apply for the position please
  • 5+1
  • Canon Divergence
  • But it's a small and slow canon divergence
  • Yuna POV
  • Some angst but consistent with the show / consistent with the taking of relational risks
  • Yes this is two 5+1s smooshed together because I wanted to
  • David POV
  • The real slow burn here is Yuna/boundaries and Ilya/emotional vulnerability with parental figures

  Summary

  An unexpected encounter with Ilya Rozanov - and a newly changed perspective of him - leads Yuna into a series of conversations with both halves of the rivalry - and slowly into both an unexpected friendship and a new understanding of what the 'rivalry' entails.
  Or: (5 times Yuna reached out to Ilya, +1 time he reached out to her first; 5 times Yuna tried to get Shane to talk to her, +1 time she didn't need to.)

  • Yuna's got a plan
  • Yuna's plan is absolutely going to work and isn't going to make anything worse
  • I'm going to put them in a jar labelled 'institutional homophobia' and shake it vigorously

  Summary

  When Ilya and Shane decide they want a plan to let them soften the rivalry and (maybe, eventually) come out without it being an NHL emergency, they ask Yuna for help. Yuna's got a 6 stage plan and it is absolutely, definitely going to work.
