    Summary

    “We had a visitor waiting when we got back to the house tonight.” Yuna finally spoke. “It was, of course, alarming to find a stranger in our driveway, a car we didn’t recognize, a person we didn’t recognize.”

    “Okay.” Ilya intently listened, nodding at everything.

    “She explained that she had found me through the foundation, and wanted to reach out to me before she did anything else.” Her hands reassuringly squeezed around Ilya’s ones, eyes never leaving his even for a second. With a deep breath in, she closed her eyes. “She told us her name is Irina. Irina Sergeevna Rozanova.”

    OR

    Irina Rozanova survives her suicide attempt but goes into hiding. Only after Grigori dies, she feels safe enough to find her son.

    OR

    Irina lives

    Summary

    The beautiful woman held out her hand, and carefully, Irina grasped it. While having no idea what the woman had said, she did know how to introduce herself.

    “Irina Rozanova.” she pointed towards herself, like Ilya had done. Tried not to think about how she was speaking this language at the same level as her seven year old.

    Next, she pointed towards Ilya on the ice. “Mama for Ilya.”

    The other woman nodded slowly, and with a small smile put her hand on her chest

    “Yuna. Shane’s mama.” 

    Or

    Irina Rozanova has left Russia and everything she knows behind. Perhaps Canada can be the quiet place she needs to settle her mind and her boys.

    Shane's first mistake was going to talk to Ilya Rozanov before their game. His second was immediately, stupidly, meeting the eyes of Rozanov’s very much dead mother hovering at his side.

    Summary

    “I can’t do this.” He said and Ilya’s hands found his waist to ground him. “Riku grabbed Obaasan from the hospital, and I can feel my mom starting to spiral. Minu hired a decorator for the house so it could look perfect for today, can you believe that? I’m going to be sick.”

    Ilya ignored the low-hanging fruit about all the pillows Shane liked having around.

    “You are four time Stanley Cup winner, have silver medal and many score records. An old lady scares you?” He asked and when it seemed like Shane might just nod, Ilya added “Think of it as game. And we win games.”

    “Ilya, you can’t win at Christmas.”

    “Says who?” Ilya demanded. “We win other things, why not this?”

    Shane looked at him, the determined, cocky tilt to his jaw and then his husband kissed him and laughed. “Alright, sure, we’ll win Christmas.”

    or

    Ilya meets Shane's extended family and learns about the true spirit of Christmas.

    Summary

    There was a time when Draco couldn't imagine himself married. He'd been too sharp-edged, too stubborn, too convinced he wasn't the type to be loved like that.

    Then, Harry came back into his life and everything clicked into place with terrifying simplicity. It felt right in a way nothing ever had before, like finding the last piece of a puzzle he hadn't realized was missing.

    Or: Harry is a lonely man in need of a wife.
