    Summary

    Now that Shane was here, being catapulted away from his home, reality began to press on his pulse, nearly choking him with its insistence. He was District Four’s tribute for the 74th Hunger Games. This wasn’t just a game; it was a death tournament. He was going to have to kill people. He had chosen this. And no matter what, he had to win.

    . . .

    Whatever this was––survival, fighting, killing––Ilya was good at it. In practice, anyway. He would do what his father couldn’t, what his brother couldn’t. He would enter the Hunger Games and win, and then, well, he didn’t really think that far ahead.

    And if he didn’t win, that didn’t bother him either. Not as much as it probably should.

    . . .

    OR Hollanov THG AU. As fellow careers, Shane and Ilya are fated to work together in the games, but as the two highest prospects to win, their rivalry becomes an anticipated spectacle. They make each other curious, more curious than they should when only one of them can come out of this alive.

    Summary

    Ilya was only a few strides behind Shane on the ice.

    He clocked the angle before the hit even landed; Marlow coming in too hot, too fast, shoulder high. Shane turned and slowed at the wrong moment, skates clipping, balance gone.

    Impact.

    The sound carried oddly through the arena, duller than boards, sharper than ice. Shane went down hard, helmet skidding, body twisting. And then it all happened at once. Skates tangled. Marlow stumbled over him as he fell, too. A skate’s blade flashed too close, too sharp.

    --------------------------------

    Shane's injuries during the Boston/Montreal game are much more life-threatening than in canon. Ilya's quick thinking and bone-deep instincts are the only reason he survives.
