Summary
“Hey Buck?”
“Mm?” He turns to Chris, drinking in the sight of him. It feels unreal, that despite everything they’re both still here.
Alive.
“You’re bleeding.” Chris’s fingers brush Buck’s face and the salt that’s crusted around the long scrape. It’s sluggishly bleeding thanks to the blood thinners Buck’s taking.
“So are you.” Buck smooths a thumb over the shallow scrape on Chris’ temple above his eye. “We match.”

Summary
This is a date, Marisol realises with sudden, dawning clarity.
Does Eddie know this is a date?
“Well, it’s about time,” Eddie tells Buck and Tommy. “Working out how to hang out with you both was getting exhausting. Hey, why don’t we pull another table over?”
Oh god, Eddie doesn’t know this is a date.

AKA, the one where Eddie (unknowingly) wants Buck so bad that it makes him act stupid in a restaurant. -

Summary
His parents leave.
There’s disappointment, sure. Buck had really thought that things were changing. He’d really thought that maybe, finally, his parents wanted to be around.
There’s also relief, because he finally has his apartment to himself again.
Finally it’s quiet.
Finally he can sleep.

Summary
It’s a truly unremarkable Friday when Eddie realises, with sudden shocking clarity, that he wants— no, that he’s going— to marry Buck.
Buck is asleep when Eddie comes to this realisation, bathed in the soft flickering light of the television. He’s got his feet kicked up on the coffee table, head thrown back, with a kid tucked in on either side of him.
Watching this quiet moment, it’s like something suddenly clicks inside of Eddie, a final piece falls into place as he realises that this— this is what he wants for the rest of his life.

Summary
“Ugh, it’s freezing,” Buck complains, padding back into the room. He climbs into bed, tucking into Eddie’s side.
“It really isn’t,” Eddie tells him. “You might have a fever.” He skates his hands over Buck’s skin, up and along his jaw to cup his face. “Mm, you definitely have a fever.”
“It’s just a cold,” Buck grumbles, throwing an arm over Eddie’s waist. “It’ll be over in a day, tops.”

Summary
"We're setting you up with a billet situation," Fletcher continued. "It's pretty common for first-year players, especially international guys. Gives you a chance to settle in, learn the city, have someone looking out for you."
"Okay," Ilya said slowly, not entirely sure what a billet was, but not wanting to admit his ignorance.
He could guess from the context – he’d heard of rookies being assigned to live with older single players, veterans who could show them the ropes. Maybe that was what Fletcher meant. Connors maybe, he was probably a handful of years older than Ilya. Or perhaps Becker. Ilya just hoped it was someone who–
"You'll be staying with Nikolai Petrov and his family."
The words hit Ilya like a punch to the gut. For a moment, he forgot how to breathe.
"Petrov?" he managed, his voice coming out strangled.
__________________________________________________________________The Bears decide that Ilya should be set up with a billet for his first season. The idea of spending a year living with a man that Ilya is sure hates him is completely terrifying. And yet, it ends up being the best thing to ever happen to him.

Summary
No serious hockey fan or sports commentator worth their salt would have considered record-breaking Boston superstar Ilya Rozanov to be Shane Hollander’s rival exactly, but sleeping with a man who had a specific offense-related vendetta against him and a wrist shot like a jet engine to back it up was probably ill-advised just the same.
Or, Shane is a goalie. Ilya can’t score.

Summary
Cliff would probably remember if he was there when Ilya met a woman so earth-shattering that he would chase after her for nearly a decade. Probably. Cliff thinks he would probably notice something as life-altering as a meeting like that. Who on earth is this woman and how did they find each other? Did Cliff watch Ilya’s life change before his eyes and not even realize what was happening?
In the fall of 2017, Cliff Marlow notices evidence of Jane all over Ilya’s apartment. He decides to investigate.

Summary
Ilya is not going to steal Shane Hollander's dog. That would be illegal. And wrong. And someone would probably find out and make Ilya give him back.
So. Not stealing.
But there is nothing wrong with giving Chernysh all the pats and treats that he deserves, is there?
Nothing wrong with encouraging Chernysh to spend more and more time at Ilya's house until he doesn't even remember who Hollander is.
Because Hollander is stupid and boring and does not deserve a dog as good as Chernysh. No, he doesn't, does he? Because Chernysh is the best boy in the whole world, yes he is.
