    Summary

    He was walking to his Jeep when the stench of cigarette smoke hit his nose. A few feet away, a tall, broad shouldered figure was standing, back to Shane, watching the sunset. Propped against the wall next to him was the bi-pride flag emblazoned sled.

    “That was a great game.” Shane said, taking a couple steps in the direction of the sledge hockey center. “You’re an amazing player to watch, but you’re really not supposed to smoke here.” The man stiffened and then pivoted slowly towards Shane. Backlit by the setting sun, his facial expression was indiscernible.

    “Oh my God Hollander, you are so boring.”

    Ilya was dead.

    Or at least, Alexei Rozanov said he was. Even after two years, Shane still hoped to see him again. He never imagined reuniting in the parking lot of a community center in suburban Ottawa.
    *
    A family emergency means Ilya and Shane never meet in Las Vegas. In Russia, Alexei uncovers Ilya's sexuality and attacks him, inflicting grievous injuries. Ilya escapes with his life, but is forced into hiding, seeking refugee status in Canada where he builds a quiet, but meaningful, existence.

    The only problem: even two years later, he misses Shane Hollander.

    Summary

    [Story repost due to deletion]

    Tommy lives with the fallout form a traumatic brain injury in his teens, and navigates a love life, a working life, and a family life that all seems to be massively impacted by that injury - sometimes, it feels like everyone else is more affected than he is, and sometimes it's as though he cannot even see a life outside of his disability. He's sharp, and skilled, but he has his weaknesses and they're exploited once they're found out.

    Summary

    Being forgotten is so frighteningly lonely that it makes him spiral sometimes. How can he explain that he feels like he’s in a dark tunnel and he can’t even tell which way he came in from or where the exit is.

    That he longs for the feeling you can only get when someone knows you. When someone cares for you.

    And on days like this, he wants to quit. On days like this, he wishes he hadn’t even made it out of the crumbling apartment and May’s arms.

    OR- Post NWH but Tony Stark is alive, and he’s wondering where the photo in his kitchen came from. Naturally, against all advice, he must track down this boy.

    Summary

    “How long has this been here?” Shane asked.

    Ilya frowned. “What?”

    “This,” Shane said, pressing gently.

    Ilya flinched, more surprised than hurt. He twisted awkwardly, reaching back, fingers searching. “I don’t feel anything.”

    “You don’t feel that?” Shane asked. His voice sounded wrong to his own ears.

    Ilya sighed, irritation creeping in. “You’re poking me. Of course I feel that.”

    “Ilya.”

    “It’s probably nothing,” Ilya said, already pulling away, sitting up. “Muscle knot. I don’t know.”

     

    Or,
    Ilya is used to surviving alone. Shane won’t let him. When illness forces their lives to change overnight, they learn what marriage really means. Not in vows, but in the relentless decision to stay.
