    Summary

    “You will not be so nice when we beat you,” Ilya told Shane Hollander, holding onto his hand, not letting him pull away. Not yet.

    But Hollander’s brow furrowed, not in anger but in confusion. “Ah, um, sorry,” Hollander said. “Merci. My English is bad. Worse… than you. Maybe slower?” And he leaned in, like that would help him understand.

    Ilya’s eyebrows rose, and his smile widened.

    Or, Ilya Rozanov grew up in Russia. Shane Hollander was raised in France. When they first meet, neither of them can speak English very well. Somehow, it’s easier to understand each other when words aren’t getting in the way.

    (Stand-alone remix of “I’m Reading Your Lips (You’re Speaking My Language)” but this time neither of them are native English speakers, and learning a new language is sort of like falling in love, if you think about it.)

    Summary

    Shane is injured, the hospital food is beige, and Hayden Pike thinks he's doing a good deed by adding Lily to the group chat.
    He doesn't realize Lily is actually Ilya Rozanov in a neon green tracksuit, currently flying across the Atlantic with five other unhinged Russians to perform an emergency medical extraction.

    Or

    Technically, Lily is a state of mind. And that state of mind is currently holding a crowbar.

    Summary

    August, 1985 - Hawkins, IN
    April, 1993 - Los Angeles, CA

    A decade is 10 years, but what's a good word to use to express seven? Eight and a half years? Nine? Give or take a month or two? Give or take all the time that goes unacknowledged? Or the sands of time falling right now in front of their eyes?
    It's nice anyways, to be as precise as possible when something is referred to over and over again.

    A near-decade then between two beginnings.

    Summary

    Thank you.’ Eddie lays his hand on the back of Steve’s exposed neck, right below his hairline. His skin is cool, it’s soothing.

    Something kind of unlocks in Steve’s middle.

    Like a bad bone cracking in half.

    Like a rotted dam giving way to the weight of the water.
