Summary
Getting information out of Ilya about his family was like getting blood from stone. Maybe harder. It had been one of the first things Shane had noticed about him. Any questions about his parents – the kind of typical things Shane’s mom had taught him to ask to make polite conversations – would result in brusque, emotionless answers or, worse, actual anger.
But somewhere out there was Irina’s granddaughter. The only remaining blood relative that Ilya gave a shit about.
And Ilya could never go back, which was Shane’s fault.
So that bothered him.

“So, umm,” Sid says into his phone, suddenly nervous.
“Sid?” Geno’s voice registers surprise.
“Yeah, umm.” Why is this difficult? “I’m here?”
Geno laughs. “Back in Pittsburgh?”
“No.” Sid clears his throat. “I’m-- I’m in the Moscow airport.”

Summary
"Listen, Mr. Rozanov." The general manager is talking out of the side of his mouth, his cigarette dropping ashes all over the hotel table. "We like you. We want you. We understand you are putting yourself under a fair amount of risk here, meeting with us like this. I hope it's obvious that if you play for us, we will set you up for a good life in Canada."
He pauses, looks Ilya in the eye. "But you have to understand, if you agree to this, you have to be prepared to leave with us right now."

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
Shane Hollander is the youngest Commander in ISS history; straight-backed, closeted, and so tightly on his own leash that seven months in orbit with Ilya Rozanov have not produced a single crack in his composure.
Ilya Rozanov is the Russian cosmonaut who should have had his job, won’t stop bouncing a tennis ball off the walls, and is still looking for a fissure. Thankfully, a solar storm finds it for him.
or: Near-death, zero gravity, and the wrong man’s hands in exactly the right places.
