    Summary

    The kiss heard 'round the world after the 2017 Stanley Cup Finals forces Hayden Pike and Cliff Marleau to reconsider the things their hands did in their teen years. What comes of it is a triad of relationships and a gaggle of four kids who have no accessible memories of a life before it was Mom and Dad and MarMar.

    Summary

    Everything goes to hell on a Tuesday.

    Ilya knows it’s a Tuesday because it’s also the season opener and the Raider’s first game against Montreal, the game he’s been looking forward to for weeks, through a long summer spent in Russia watching his father deteriorate, arguments with his brother that nearly devolved into fistfights, threats from Polina made out of fear for her standing and a barely masked loathing for her husband’s children. He’s finally in Boston, and he’s thought about little else than getting back on the ice…and seeing Shane.

    So when the news breaks that morning—that Raiders captain and notorious playboy Ilya Rozanov is said to have fathered a child and is denying his parental responsibilities—the media has a field day and Ilya has a fucking mess on his hands.

    Or: Grigori Rozanov doesn't die, Ilya goes back to Russia for the summer, and returns to Boston at the center of a paternity lawsuit.

    Or or: Ilya Rozanov and the no good, horrible, very bad year.

    Summary

    Roz couldn’t take three hours off when he was in Boston to see Cliff, but somehow managed to kick off a whole ass friendship with his worst enemy when the guy lived two hours away? Make that make sense! As far as Cliff knew, Hollander didn’t even like any of the things that Roz liked – partying or clubbing or drinking. What did Hollander have that Cliff didn’t? Besides a second Cup? And several MVP awards? And multiple broken records?

    Oh god. Had Roz picked Hollander as his new best friend because he was better than Cliff at hockey?

    --

    Cliff is very proud to be Ilya Rozanov's best friend (or at least his best male friend). But then Ilya moves to Ottawa, dodges Cliff's attempts to hang out and, oh yeah, suddenly announces a close friendship with a guy he's hated for most of a decade. This would be much simpler to deal with if Cliff had any idea how to talk to Roz about feelings. Or how to talk about feelings at all.
