    Summary

    It’s the most famous cold case in hockey history. Up-and-coming Russian phenom Ilya Rozanov mysteriously vanishes the summer before his rookie season. Despite extensive police work, no trace of the young superstar is ever found.

    Shane Hollander remembers Ilya Rozanov. Better than most. And now, several years retired and with two highly successful hockey biographies under his belt, he’s taking a crack at the mystery that’s haunted his own career with strings of what-ifs and memories revisited so often they’ve softened like old cotton.

    Perhaps now, with the long eye of perspective between him and those memories, he can unravel the short lifetime of the man poised to become his biggest rival and best kept secret. Travelling to Russia he searches for stories and the answers they hold.

    If only this damn dog that’s apparently a local cryptid would stop raiding his trash cans.

     
    It has wandered this place for years. It knows every stream, every hill, every tree. Every pale, flat face in the place of straight lines. It does not know this face.

    But it remembers dark eyes and star-dots across the cheeks.
    It cannot remember its own name.

    But it remembers him.

    Summary

    “Hi, moy vozlyublenniy,” Ilya greets. “How was practice?”

    In lieu of a response, Shane kneels in front of Ilya, tucking his feet beneath him. His hands rest on his thighs, where he anxiously flexes his fingers, causing Ilya to peer at him questioningly. 

    “May I?” Shane asks quietly, looking at Ilya’s hands.

    The question causes a brief moment of confusion for Ilya. 

    ‘May I?’

    Ilya peers down at his own hands, holding onto the ends of his laces, and thinks, oh.

    Shane has a bad day. Ilya unravels him, one layer at a time.

    Summary

    “Shane has a dick, Ilya. A very nice one, I’m sure, but it’s a dick.”

    Ilya shook his head, his dirty blonde curls shifting. “No. He doesn’t. Not exactly. He has a pussy.”

    She scoffs slightly, hand covering her mouth.

    “I let you… borrow.”

    or

    Svetlana confides that she's intimated to dive into the lesbian dating pool blind. Ilya offers a low stakes way to get her confidence up.

    Summary

    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.
