    Summary

    “Ilya Rozanov,” Shane repeats slowly, letting himself taste the words. He grins. “Wow. You’re, like, a really good player. How come you’re in Canada for summer camp? Is that weird to ask? Sorry if that’s weird. I just meant-”

    Shane is cut off by a hand on his mouth. He flushes.

    “Too fast,” Ilya says. “My English… not good.”

    “Sorry,” Shane mumbles into Ilya’s hand. Ilya grins and shakes his head, curls dancing, as he pulls his hand away.

    “Is okay. Slow words. Okay?”

    This year marks thirteen year Shane Hollander's third summer at Coach Marakov's elite hockey training camp. In attendance for the first time: Ilya Rozanov, visiting from Russia. Shane isn't the most sociable, and Ilya's English isn't the greatest, yet the unlikely duo soon become the best of friends.

    It's just one summer, but it makes a world of difference.

    Summary

    So here he was, listening to the never-ending loop of “you have bitten off more than you can chew”, reminding him that while he may have proposed spending the evening like this, he would never be a real part of whatever was happening in the room.

    Touch-starved but you don't know if you even want to be touched? You may be entitled to compensation!
    Just introspective Kevin having a really bad time and questioning where and how to belong. Shout out to Riko and Jean for haunting the narrative so beautifully.

    Summary

    “Il faut imaginer Sisyphe heureux,” Kevin quoted. “I am sure you will like this book; when I first read it, I thought about you.”

    Jean Moreau is a retired exy player living in an empty house, trying to find new interests and hobbies. In an effort to reconnect to his native language, he starts attending a French literature club. Unfortunately for him, this club is the only one in the entire Southwest of the country that was deemed acceptable by Kevin Day.

    Old love, even older books, long conversations.

    Summary

    “Would anyone like to explain to me what the hell is going on here?” Mitchell asks softly.
    “Eli got stabbed and he’s being an idiot about it,” Victor offers.
    “Victor is sticking his nose where it doesn’t belong,” Eli counters.
    -or-
    Eli is an idiot, Serena is abusive and Victor has to suffer the consequences
