Summary
'Suicide' was a word tucked in soft quilt blankets and shoved in the deeper parts of his mind, even as he saw patients day-in, day-out who were outwardly, or in some capacity could be considered suicidal. [...] No one knows, never knew. Also, no one can be surprised. If they look further, they'll see just the extent of what he's hidden in plain sight from his childhood.

Summary
September 2015
Ilya Rozanov is fine. He comes back from summer in Russia a little worse for the wear, with minor injuries sustained during an argument with his brother. It’s nothing he hasn’t dealt with before. Except someone takes a photo, and suddenly his bruises are all over the internet.
He just has to get through the first preseason game against Montreal. Once the public sees he can play normally, scrutiny will die down.
He doesn’t account for a far more private scrutiny: Shane Hollander is on the Voyageurs roster and, against all expectations, determined to get to the bottom of what happened to Ilya in Moscow.

Summary
Rozanov cocked his head. “You speak Russian? Or just the curse words?”
“Yes, I speak Russian,” he snapped, defensive and angry. He knew that it had been a mistake to even try to be friendly with Rozanov. “Why? Do I not look Russian to you?” He scoffed.
“No, not really,” Rozanov said. Some of his teammates laughed, although they mostly looked surprised that Shane was speaking to them at all. Rozanov didn’t laugh, though. “Are you Russian?”
“Go fuck yourself.”
+++
Despite an inauspicious start, when Russia’s Ilya Rozanov learns that Canada’s Shane Hollander is fluent in Russian at their first World Junior Championships tournament, it changes everything and sets them on a different course. Instead of being branded as rivals from the very beginning, Ilya and Shane start off as friends.
And, after all, a little friendly rivalry never hurt anyone, did it?
