    Starts a little dark, but ends up tender and meaningful and real.
    Am I ovulating or envious. Hard to tell.

    Summary

    Several years into Rozanov’s career, ESPN hires a reporter fluent in Russian.

    Suddenly able to answer questions fluently and with a wide vocabulary, Rozanov’s interviews go viral. Hockey fans around the world get a new look at what they thought about Boston’s #81. This changes not only his public persona, but his whole life.

    Inspired by the look on NBA star Nikola Jokić’s face when he was asked a question in his native Serbian and my own struggles learning a new language.

    Ilya's intelligence etc is revealed whena Russian language reporter is let into the bears press room. Those clips go a little viral and people want more of the articulate, observant Ilya. A solo interview is arranged but the reporter and his agent fuck up and his visa is threatened bc of the questions asked and even his hedged no comment answers are not exactly kosher to Russia.

    Summary

    “Don’t–” Ilya starts, already reaching, already cupping Shane’s face between both hands, thumbs warm and tender against his cheekbones like they’ve always belonged there.

    Shane’s eyes are big and gorgeous and genuinely curious. “Don’t what?”

    Don’t make me look like a lovesick idiot. Don’t make my heart trip over itself for a way out of my chest and into yours. Don’t say it like that—so fucking sincere—like you don’t know how devastating it is for me.

    “Don’t butcher my language,” he says instead and kisses Shane’s smile hard, like reflex, like gravity, like there was never going to be another option.

    -

    Shane sets out to learn Russian. Ilya discovers he's incapable of keeping his composure.

    Summary

    Jane: We didn't even kiss.

    The words stare back at him. They fucking taunt him, the same way Ilya does with that wink of his, with his smirk and his deep voice.

    Abruptly, Shane feels pissed off and a little like he’s grasping for something that’s slipping away. He feels the way he did in that bathroom, the first time he had Ilya’s attention for months and didn’t want to let Ilya escape without stealing more of it.

    The elevator door opens. Shane does not get off.

    Instead, he presses the button for Penthouse 1 and hits send on We didn’t even kiss.

    He watches the floor numbers increase as the elevator carries him back to Ilya. Shane has no idea what he’s going to say to the asshole but he knows he has so many words that are about to burst out of his mouth.

    Fuck you being the first two.

    OR Shane goes back for that kiss.

    Summary

    Hayden cannot believe what he’s seeing.

    This huge, intimidating Russian hockey player – who has rookies quaking in their skates with one glare, who never misses an opportunity for a fight on the ice, who Hayden had once overheard during a scrum let loose a volley of swear words so fucking filthy that Hayden was actually speechless – is staring at Shane with the softest, most lovesick look on his face that you’d think Shane had hung the moon in the sky himself.

    And Shane is staring right back like Rozanov is the sun.
