Why this must be read:
(frombkm5191)
Well it's Jordin and Ilya. And it's gentle and quiet and hopeful.
Jordin and Ilya are, on the surface, about as different as two people can get and still be hockey players. Jordin is a Native Canadian third-liner (drafted at number 98 in the fourth round) and Ilya is a hotshot Russian sniper (and a number one draft pick.)
They don't even play on the same team.
Fictionally speaking though they are the two left behind. Jordin's brother died, let's leave it at died, and Ilya lost his best friend after a car accident. That is to say his best friend wasn't the one who died, but he ended up leaving anyway. These two events have been endlessly dissected in fic.
A lot of history hangs over these two, so it's delightful to read Anna's fic because she has such a delicate way of dealing with them and their past.
This is a fic about a summer road trip. The kind of road trip where you just lock the door and get in the car, where you trail your fingers out of the window in the breeze and possibility shimmers over the journey the same way the heat rises up from the road.

"What?"
"I need to hear the ocean."
"What?" Ilya's brow creases in confusion. "Buy one of those nature
tapes. Did you drive here?"
"I need to feel it…I need…" Jordin sighs, like he's run out of words.
"Come with me."
Ilya is sure he can deal with this better with some more sleep.
"You're crazy. I'm going back to bed."
