    Summary

    Good riddance, he thinks. Or maybe feels obligated to think. He’s not sure. It feels like a natural thing to think about a brother who hit you and insulted you and extorted you for most of your short, miserable time together. He’s thought about it before, Alexei dying. The life he lived had not been conductive to longevity.

    I am the last Rozanov, he thinks, and that is an emotion he can parse, finally: closure. Like setting the last piece down in a puzzle.

    It’s only after the first puff of smoke escapes his lips that Ilya remembers Alexei’s daughter.

    Or:
    Two years after he gets married, Ilya Rozanov receives the news that his older brother has died.

    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.

    Summary

    “I’m trying to figure out,” Rose wonders aloud. “Are you always a complete prick? Just with women? Or just when you lose a game?”

    Ilya barks a laugh, shocked and almost delighted, and his smile spreads wide enough that Rose can see all those pearly whites of his that are so much nicer than she expected any hockey player’s to be. “All the time,” he grins, “all the time. However much of an asshole Hollander has told you I am, double it.”

    She answers truthfully, shrugs her shoulders in her tiny silver dress. “He hasn’t mentioned you at all.”

    After a shitshow of an evening in a Montreal nightclub, Ilya wakes up the next morning in Shane’s bed. Only, he’s not in Shane’s bed — Rose Landry is, and he’s in Rose Landry’s body, and she’s in his. Well, what the fuck are they supposed to do with that?

    Summary

    "You don't think he..." Shane says slowly. "That he did this on purpose?"

    "I don't know. What has he said to you?" Svetlana asks.

    Nothing, Shane wants to say, but that's not completely true. He and Ilya talk every day. It's normal, or at least feels normal. It feels like having a boyfriend, and Shane really loves having a boyfriend. He loves loving Ilya and being loved by him, but Ilya hasn't said anything to him. Nothing important. Nothing that would indicate that he would drive his Porsche into the country, unbuckle his seatbelt, and crash into a guardrail on purpose.

    ~

    Ilya is found critically injured after a car accident on a quiet back road in Ottawa. Shane doesn't have much to do but wait for news from Svetlana in Ilya's empty house, listless and useless and spinning wild scenarios in his exhaustion. He starts drinking the beers in Ilya's fridge to pass the time, but time has other ideas, namely, ideas on how he can help Ilya without ever stepping foot in the hospital.

    Canon Divergent from The Long Game, post-Halloween.
