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?

Summary
“Hello, Two Forks Station? Please pick up your radio.” He hears a voice say from the radio already. The voice is masculine and carries an accent from a place Will can’t put his finger on.
Pressing his thumb to the left side of the radio, Will speaks, “Uh, hello. Who is this?”
“I’m speaking to Will Graham, right?” The man asks.
“Yeah. You can just call me Will, though.”
“Nice to hear you, Will. I’m Hannibal Lecter, but please, call me Hannibal.” The man, Hannibal, says. What kind of name is Hannibal anyway?
————
In the year 1989, after failing his psych evaluation for the FBI, Will Graham finds a summer job as a fire watcher, alone in a national park. Well, alone but for his radio mate, Hannibal Lecter.

It takes her too long to realize it's the opposite.

Finding out that Draco Malfoy is also staying at Spinner’s End, of course.
