    Summary

    “The fuck? What are you doing here?”

    “I am wondering same thing about you.”

    You’re wondering—you’re in Shane’s—what the hell is going on?”

    “Close the door, please. Is cold.”

    Shane gives Hayden the go-ahead to grab a package from his house—but Ilya flew in a day early as a surprise.

    Oops.

    An alternate Hayden-finds-out story set the winter after The Cottage.

    Summary

    Ilya hears the door opening before he sees it. He sits up sharply, already angling his phone towards his chest, thumb hovering over the End Call button. Shane doesn’t speak, though Ilya watches his expression shift into something grave and concerned. They both know the routine at this point; it wouldn’t be the first time this week Ilya has ended a call abruptly to avoid interruption.

    The head that appears in the doorway is far lower than he expects it to be, and it takes him a moment to fully register.

    “Zhenya?” he asks, frowning. “Are you alright?”

    The girl nods, her little hand still clutching the door handle. “Can I come in?”

    Or: Shane and Ilya speak often, while Ilya is in Moscow for his father's funeral. Tonight, Ilya has company.

    Summary

    Yuna goes with David to Shane's cottage, worried after he misses all of David's calls.

    "They’re both just boys, she thinks, and then she thinks about what she knows about Rozanov, his brash attitude, his dead father, his Russian passport, and nearly feels sick."

    Summary

    He loved the idea of them being his family after years of having none, and he wanted to make them happy, so he added second, third and fourth presents for each and every Hollander into his cart, and felt better and better with every next swipe of his card.

    or, a little peek into the first Christmas Ilya spends with Hollanders.

    Summary

    If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. ~ Thoreau
