Summary
His outstretched glove hangs there, frozen, as the noise of the arena mutates into a ringing buzz. Then he’s moving, pushed away by Marlow, and then Boston’s goalie. There’s a flurry of movement, a trainer with a towel, more blood dripping onto the ice, and he just. Stands there. Staring.
Ilya is helped off the ice. Shane doesn’t even tap his stick.
Remember when Sidney Crosby caught a puck with his jaw? That doesn't happen to Shane. That happens to Ilya.

Summary
Russians do not blush. Russians do not get sick. Ilya gets concussions. He gets stitches. He skates on cracked ribs and calls it fine. He does not get sick. Which is why, when he wakes up at three in the morning in the middle of June, shaking so hard his teeth knock together, his first instinct is irritation.

Summary
David’s hands and the box turned blurry. Ilya blinked rapidly, refusing to cry before the wedding even started.
“I hope you know, and I know I speak for Yuna as well, you have been a part of this family since the day Shane brought you to our cottage all those years ago. It may have been a bit of a shocking entrance..."
Both men laughed at the understatement.
"But, I knew that day, watching you two sit across the table from us, you were it for each other, that you were the missing piece of our family puzzle…" David paused to catch Ilya's eye, "Especially when I found out you read The New Yorker.”
Ilya chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck, thankful for the joke to ease the pressure building behind his eyes. He cleared his throat, “Well, when the only thing you know about your long-time-not-yet-boyfriend’s dad is that he reads the New Yorker, you pick up a copy for the plane ride.”
David nodded sagely with mock seriousness, “Yes, that was wise.”
-------------------
As Ilya gets ready for his wedding, David surprises him with a sentimental gift to commemorate the day and the bond they have built over the years, one New Yorker article at a time. -
