    Summary

    Maybe that’s what it is, actually. The Rose that Shane loves is not Rose Landry, the glossy figure Ilya thinks he’s familiar with but doesn’t know at all. Just as he is not Ilya Rozanov in the way most of the world sees him, not all the time. Maybe they have that in common.


    A snapshot look at Rose and Ilya in orbit around Shane, and the evolving meaning of family.

    Summary

    You didn’t have to be a genius. Or gay. It helped, probably, that Scott was, but they were just so fucking obvious about it.

    Summary

    Shane texts him his second day in Sochi, after the Opening Ceremony is over and the sports are beginning.

     

    Are you staying in the Village? he asks. Capitalization, proper grammar. Innocuous.

     

    Nyet, Ilya texts back. Here in his country Shane can learn a little Russian. Latin alphabet, he can be generous.

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov is the messy queer rep the MLH needs. A public multi-year situationship largely conducted via Twitter with the weird-ass mascot of the Philly team he has no other rapport with whatsoever is precisely the kind of representation kids need to be able to look up to.
    Is he a genius or an idiot? Nobody knows.
