    Summary

    Ilya inherits a surly grief-stricken nine year-old.

    Charlie lashes out with anger. Shane makes schedules and plans meals and angsts about what a terrible father he's turned out to be. Yuna tries desperately to build another kid into a sports prodigy. And Ilya isn't sure how to reconcile all the different people in his life and become the father he wishes he could have had.

    Meanwhile, there's still a whole hockey season to play.

    * * *

    A fic where everyone is doing their best, not to mention attempting their therapy homework. But where success and family is not a straight line.

    Summary

    Shane realizes that Ilya's never been on a date and that nobody has done anything romantic for him before, so he rectifies that. #IlyaRozanovIsLoved

    While Ilya is working through his feelings, it's very light on the angst. No fighting between them just cuteness.

    Summary

    "You're disappointed in me," Ilya says when the silence drags on too long.

    It snaps Irina out of her thoughts. No, she wants to say, you're my perfect boy, though she knows she shouldn't. She can't bring herself to say yes either. "You're my son," Irina says. "I love you."

    "I'm sorry, Mama," he says, voice small, smaller than Irina has heard in years. He sounds like a child again, five and besieged by nightmares of a snowstorm, begging for reassurances than their house won't be buried under an insurmountable blanket of white, that she would find him and hold him even if it was.

    "It's not my apology to accept, Ilyusha," she says instead.

    (Irina Rozanova lives! It doesn't fix Ilya.)

    Summary

    "Oh." Hollander has gone a little red, beneath his freckles. "I am from… French Canada? Québec? Do you know? Very… very small town there, no English, only French. I try to learn, but— is a bit hard."

    Ilya feels mildly stupid. He knew, obviously, that they speak French in Canada, but he didn’t know it was, like— some people’s only language. He’d sort of assumed everyone was fluent in both.

    "Huh. Cool."

    "Your English is very good," Hollander offers.

    Ilya laughs.

    "I mean, yeah— I grew up in Minneapolis."

    Summary

    Ilya hasn’t planned on meeting Shane’s parents after only three days at the cottage. He sure as hell hasn’t planned on dying that very same day, only to wake up in his childhood home in Moscow.

    The year is 2004, he’s twelve again, and his mother is still alive.
