    Summary

    Centuries pass, nations rise and fall, names change, but Ilya remembers.

    --

    Hasegawa Shigeru opened his mouth to reply, but Ilya was lost.

    No longer warm, an icy wind cut through rough clothes to bite at the patches of skin that he’d bared to the elements. White snow and black, tall trees. A man trudged beside him, his hood up, his feet sure in the snow. He turned and smiled and Ilya’s heart tipped over with love. Hasegawa Shigeru. It was Shigeru, but dressed in clothing in a style much older than those Ilya had worn on his own shores, but still undoubtedly home.

    Shigeru spoke to him, but not in a language he knew. Old words and old clothes, and an old love, so deep that it brought tears to Ilya’s eyes.

    Summary

    Shane has a soulmark just like most people, but he doesn’t think about it too often. He’ll probably meet his soulmate in his thirties, then get married or something. It’s usually how it happens. It just doesn’t matter right now. The only thing that matters is hockey.

    So when he spots a very familiar symbol in a locker room at eighteen years old, things kind of fall apart. It wasn’t supposed to happen this way.

    Summary

    "I believe…" Yuuri says, pensive. "I believe that when you're connected to another person so closely that you share a soul, it's stupid to think that you wouldn't feel it. How can you not recognize part of yourself when they're standing right in front of you?"
    "That's…I…yes." Viktor tries to untie his tongue, mouth suddenly arid. "You—I think you would know, yes."
    Yuuri skates onto the ice and Viktor's soul screams after him, Do you know? Can you see me? I'm here, I'm here.

    Summary

    After a fire kills his father, brother, and sister in law, there is nobody left to take in Katya, Ilya's niece. And it's not like he knows what he's doing, but anything is better than the horrors he knows she would face in an orphanage. At the same time, he needs this to not be the next big headline - "Ilya Rosanov, Playboy Turned Single Parent" is about the last thing he needs in his life right now. So Katya, his perfect, traumatized, niece who he intends to raise as his own, needs to stay a secret. (Its not like he doesn't have enough of those already)

    (Is Harry Stiles cringe? I don't care)
