Summary
Irina Rozanova! Junior World champion for second year in a row. Has your uncle reached out for any words of advice?”
“No,” her tone made him wince, “my uncle and I do not speak.”
“Oh?”
“Not important. Ask important question or I’ll get bored. No question about triple axel?”
“Any relation?” Scott Hunter’s voice made him turn from where he was leaning against the bar. The older captain came to his side, taking a beer from Kip who was bartending with a wink.
“My niece,” Ilya said and downed a mouthful of beer.
------
After seeing his niece win Olympic Silver Ilya is haunted by her ghost, the past she represents, and what exactly he left behind. But the past always comes back.Series

Summary
“I need to do this,” she whispered despite her closed eyes and the scrunched up expression that always signaled she was in more pain than she let on.
“You don’t have to do it right this second, you’re sixteen,” Shane said softly, brushing her hair away from her face the way he remembers his mom doing.
“When do hockey players retire?” Irina asked and her eyes opened.
“Depends, mid thirties. Some people will play until their forties,” Shane answered.
“Do you know when figure skaters retire?” She asked and he shook his head, “early-twenties. Lots retire as soon as they go to Olympics. You can try and last until your thirty but not many do. Too much pain.”
------
Shane and Ilya deal with Irina's chronic injuries, with the help of one ancient hockey player and their handsome husband.Series

“How am I going to skate again if I can’t even walk without a cane?” She whispered.
“You will, zaychik, you will,” Ilya said softly.
“Dyadya?” Both men hummed, “what if…what if I don’t want to?”
“What?” Ilya asked as he sat up.

Summary
When Ilya lived in Boston he always wondered what it would be like to show Irina the city he thought of as home. He’d see other families with their kids at the Common or the Aquarium and always think, zaychik would love that. It almost felt like a dream to see Irina and Shane walking in front of him as they crossed through the Public Garden. They were laughing at something Irina had said, Shane shaking his head at whatever it was. He had pictured this so many times. There was no part of him that wanted to miss a second of this, not even to blink.

It's Irina's birthday and they celebrate in Boston.Series

Summary
“Where is my zaychik?” Ilya frowned as he looked at the empty apartment. The Centaurs had filtered out to their hotel a while ago but he had yet to see Irina. Even with the cloud of vodka he knew it had been a while since he had seen her.
“Oh, she drove Julian home,” Shane explained as he wiped down the counter, “he was scared of Comeau recognizing my car.”
“A BOY?! In her CAR?! Is rule to have no boys!” Ilya cried out.
“Ilya, it’s fine,” Shane reasoned, “she’s just driving him home. She drives our rookies all the time.”
“Yes but they are terrified of me,” Ilya countered, “Benoit is not.”
------
Ilya and Shane fight the Metros, Irina drives a terrified Julian home. Surely nothing will come of that right?Series

Summary
Winning was supposed to make sense. Make things easier. Like how they were before. But she woke up a week after winning feeling empty. At first she had chalked it up to feeling off, maybe it was her period or the snow that wasn’t letting up in Ottawa. It would pass like it always did. But a week turned into two turned into three and soon it was a month of her feeling like she was slowly sinking. Of being late to practices because getting out of bed was becoming a monumental task.
-------
Irina wins at Worlds but that really doesn't fix anything, instead it opens up something she didn't think she had to think about. Shane and Ilya realize it truly takes a village sometimes.Series

Summary
"Stop glaring at him,” Shane warned when he skated by, “Irina made it clear there was nothing.”
“Please tell me you’re not that dense,” Ilya grumbled.
“It’ll be good for her. Her recovery can’t be contingent on if a boy likes her back,” Shane reasoned, glancing at where she was talking with Marleau. It had been a better day, not a good one but better.
“I feel like we’re missing something,” Ilya muttered, “but I can’t tell what.”
“And it’s not our business,” Shane warned again as Julian skated over with a bright smile.

Summary
Despite the owners pushing for Julian to have the A, Theriault still got his way with Comeau being promoted to captain. Ever since they felt like at every press conference, every chance he got really, he’d use it to tear down Shane. At first it was funny. Still not over me Comeau? Sorry you’re just not my type. But as the preseason went on it was getting tiresome. Ilya doesn’t know how he’s going to survive a whole season having to listen to chirps about his daughter and Comeau’s fucking mouth.

Featuring the Pike kids, babysitting, a quad, and Ilya using his connections to his full potential.Series

Summary
“What the hell is going on?” Ilya questioned.
“Give Harris your phones,” Wiebe said and Shane wanted to argue but saw the stern look of Wiebe’s face. Ilya didn’t even put up a fight as they handed them over.
“You going to tell us why our stuff is being packed?” Shane asked.
“Your mom called Shane,” Wiebe began and swallowed, “listen there’s no easy way to say this. There’s been an accident.”
“Spit it out, Wiebe!” Ilya snapped.
“Irina was injured during her free skate…it’s bad. You two need to go home,” Wiebe finally said and Shane didn’t hear anything that came after that. It was all white noise as Ilya began furiously asking what happened, was she ok, was it her hip? But Shane couldn’t even move just kept replaying the same feeling he had since the night before.
-------
Irina's injured at a competition while Shane and Ilya are thousands of miles away. All they can do is wait for her to wake up.Series
