Summary
Family is a sensitive subject- Ilya hardly ever talks about his brother or father, but once in a while he’ll mention his mother in passing. He’ll do it so casually it almost always takes Yuna aback to remember she’s not alive.
I get my sweet tooth from my mother.
Oh, I don’t know the name of the song. Just something my mother would hum while baking.
My mother loved poetry. She could recite her favorite poems by heart.
My mother would’ve loved your garden, Yuna.
Yuna began to think of Irina while she was working in her garden.
Did you see Ilya today? Him and Shane looked so handsome together.
Ilya made us laugh so hard today. I bet you were as quick witted as he is.
Ilya’s having a hard time right now, Irina. I’m doing what I can, we’re doing what we can. I wish I could call you and ask for advice.
He seems better. Does he talk to you? I hope so.
Irina, Mother’s Day is coming up. I have an idea.

Summary
I woke up with an idea for a fic of Ilya in The Family Man (the 2000 movie with Nic Cage,) then immediately nixed it because it’d be incredibly short with no tension because Ilya would be like hell yeah no further questions, your honor.
Then I decided to write it anyway because you know what, we all deserve a little sweet treat.

What Remains (Major Editing) by RimsHiddenQuill

Summary
Shane Hollander disappears in the middle of an ordinary week.
What follows fractures everything: the search, the media storm, the slow collapse of certainty, and the horrifying realisation that survival is not always loud. Sometimes it looks like silence. Sometimes it looks like endurance mistaken for consent.
While Ilya Rozanov tears through every lead trying to find him, Shane is trapped inside a house where cruelty wears the shape of care, and where the most dangerous thing of all is how easy it becomes to doubt himself.
A story about captivity, aftermath, love, shame, survival, and what remains of a person after someone tries to rewrite them.
Or: A break-in leaves Shane Hollander terrified of the world outside his door — and vulnerable to the kind of danger that doesn’t look dangerous until it’s far too late.

Summary
As a straight man, Ilya Rozanov has never had a gay roommate before, but it’s going pretty well. Shane Hollander is kind, silly, and an even bigger hockey nut than Ilya.
So when Shane starts bringing men over, and Ilya begins to want to bash their fucking heads in, Ilya comes to a startling conclusion: He must be homophobic.
(He’s jealous.)

Summary
The first sound Ilya hears is a thin, discordant symphony of beeps and whirs. Something vibrating.
The next thing he hears is…wet. A sort of shaking, gargling sound, that feels like the ugliest crying he’s ever heard. And through it, Shane’s voice.
“I’m with him now, mom. He’s— he’s not fine. He’s not. I know—”
Ilya wants to ask who's not fine, but he can’t feel his own body, his mouth, enough to ask.
“Yeah,” Shane is saying, only slightly calmer. “I know. He wasn’t breathing—"
Ilya knows there's a link, between the clinical musicality of medical settings, Shane’s audible, awful distress, and his own physical incapacity. It’s just, it’s so tenuous, and the air around him is so thick, so heavy. It would be easy, to sleep, a little.
-
Footage of the last game between Ottawa and Montreal is everywhere; it’s breached containment from the sports world, and now it seems like everyone is baying for Montreal’s blood. Except, Ilya is oblivious. Not exactly blissfully so, but as the fight for accountability within the league rages on without him, Ilya just wants someone, anyone, to tell him what happened.
