    Summary

    “Seeing you smile like that, it makes me want to give you all of this,” he called out, making a sweeping gesture across the ice.

    Shane turned back to look at him, eyes bright, and laughed. “Canadian Tire Centre? I know you’re rich, Rozanov, but an entire arena is a pretty big real estate investment.”

    Ilya pushed off, skating to a stop in front of him, knowing his expression had morphed into something serious. “Hockey, Hollander. It should have been yours.”

    Or, everything that happens when your dreams don’t come true.

    Summary

    It's Ilya Rozanov's first winter in retirement. He has some time and a heart to fill, the world's best in-laws, and a husband who will let nothing go wrong. Somewhere, there's a little kid that needs them.

    Or, Shane and Ilya become foster parents, meet a little girl with spina bifida, and have some adventures in the unfamiliar world of medical foster parenting and (eventually) sled/adaptive hockey.

    Summary

    He rubs his palms over his thighs, the rough denim working to soothe the static under his skin. The pressure is still building, vibrating muscle and bone and threatening to tear its way out.

    He’s not stupid, he knows the signs he’s reaching a breaking point, knows what happens if he pushes it. He felt it and chose to stay anyway. It’s happened before, it will happen again.

    But why? Why can’t he be fucking normal?

    Summary

    It’s not like his mom had been celebrating Ilya having a fucking heart attack. It’s just that if Shane hadn’t been such a coward, he would have told his parents about Ilya sooner, and then maybe none of this would have happened at all.

    After a fluke cardiac event leaves Ilya with an anoxic brain injury, he and Shane attempt to cope with their new normal.
