Summary
When Ilya Rozanov goes down on the ice, the Boston Bears are already moving to defend their captain. No one expects Shane Hollander, captain of the Montreal Voyageurs, to be the one who throws the first punch.
Or: the Boston Bears figure out Ilya and Shane’s relationship first—and decide that instead of letting their captain move to fucking Ottawa, they’ll just kidnap a his boyfriend instead. Shane Hollander would make a better Bear anyway.

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.

Summary
Ilya Rozanov hoped he would be a neutral, a disappointment to his father.
"A Level 10 dominant. Even higher than me. Ilya, you are destined for great positions, great things."
But instead, Ilya had breathed through the heat, the pain and directly stared at his father with a fury unmatched for a 13 year old –when he spoke, he held no emotion in his voice, or face.
“I want to skate and play hockey. I am going to practice, father."Two weeks into the age of 17, Shane Hollander had woken up with his entire body burning, every muscle in his body cramping in pain until his mother had sensed it, and rushed to him.
“No, no. No. No.” He crawled to his knees on the bed, his entire body spasming. “No!” He yelled. “Mom, get me to a doctor. Today. I’m going on blockers. I have ice in three hours, then I have to go to school, and I have high impact training at 6. I cannot.”
Yuna had cupped her son’s cheek, completely calm and stoic in his panic and anxiety.
“Mom, I have hockey!” He yelled in panic, and in pain as he groaned in pain, his muscles rebelling.
“...Level 10.” He repeated, just to make sure his brain wasn’t fucking him over. “A level 10, submissive.”- Language:
