Summary
At twenty-one, Ilya Rozanov is the Soviet Union’s most perfect weapon, a soldier of the Red Machine who has spent three years locked in a silent, jagged war on the ice with Canada’s golden boy, Shane Hollander.
When the Montreal Metros claim him as a "wasted" mid-round draft pick, the rivalry transforms from a professional grudge into a desperate lifeline. On the final night of the 1988 Calgary Olympics, he risks everything, his family, his career, and his safety, to start a new life in the West. Forced into a high-stakes billet under the roof of his bitter professional rival, Ilya must navigate a world where freedom feels like a new kind of prison.
As Ilya struggles to adapt, the crumbling Soviet empire reaches across the ocean, searching for leverage to help pull him back.
OR: What if Ilya fled Russia in 1988 to play for the Montreal Metros?

Summary
Between Yuna and David stood a man with dark eyes and a strong nose, a familiar, awkward-in-front-of-cameras smile stretched across his face. Ilya’s consciousness crept back into his body only to be deafened by the pounding of his heart in his ears. His fingers still did not feel like they belonged to him. He brought the card close, too close, to his face, but the photo was nowhere near the level of resolution that would have allowed Ilya to detect freckles.
Ilya’s eyes moved to the text on the bottom of the card. It read, “Happy Holidays from the Hollanders! Love, Yuna, David, and Shane.”
Ilya and Shane were inseparable in high school until it all fell apart.
Now, years later, Ilya returns to Ottawa for a day to clean out his old room after his father's death. He plans to be in and out quickly, but when he learns Shane is also trans, he's too curious to not show up to the Hollanders' holiday party.

Summary
“You should probably uh…stay safe then.” Shane babbles, exhaustion driving away any common sense or rationality.
Throwing his head back, Rozanov laughs. It grows increasingly hysterical, until Shane can see unshed tears in the corners of Rozanov’s eyes.
“You say, ‘stay safe Rozanov.’” Rozanov pinches his nose as he says this and adopts a high-pitched tone. He crosses his arms over his chest and poses like he’s on a superhero poster, mimicking Shane’s Rolex ad. “But it’s hockey. There’s no way to stay safe.”
“I don’t sound like that,” Shane grumbles.
Rozanov tilts his head to the side. His pupils are dilated in the low light of Shane’s apartment and he shrugs, stuffing his hands in his pockets again. “We will test more next time. In Boston.”
It takes a year for Shane Hollander to realize that he's somehow magically protecting his rival, Ilya Rozanov, from harm. It takes another several years, and a lot of hooking up, for him to figure out why.
