    Summary

    The audience all begin to clap like seals in some kind of waterpark show in Tenerife, and Aaron rolls his eyes and joins in too when Mack elbows him in the ribs and nods in the direction of Nicola from HR, who is frowning at him from across the room with beady eyes. Aaron sighs through his nose and turns his gaze back towards the front, raises an eyebrow in curiosity when he sees the twitch of unease in Robert’s almost photoshoot perfect grin as he takes Lawrence’s hand and squeezes tight.

    “I give it six months before he’s caught shagging one of the salesgirls over his desk.” Mack murmurs to him from the corner of his mouth; Aaron snorts and tilts his head in further towards him.

    “Bet you a tenner it’s five.”

    Summary

    Shane kissed him, then nestled his head into the curve of his neck. Ilya tried to remember how to breathe. It felt like insects were crawling under his skin again. He didn’t want to leave, fuck, he never wanted to leave again. He wanted Shane to press his face to his skin for the rest of his life, just like this. He wanted to break open Shane’s ribcage and crawl inside it.

    (His heart did not feel big enough for everything he wanted from it.)

    ***

    After confessing their love in the quiet, safe lamplight of Shane's Cottage, Ilya has a hard time coming to terms with the fact that he is loved. Shane notices, and doesn't let it slide.

    ***

    Partially inspired by Chapter Thirty in the Long Game, but no knowledge of the books is required to read, and there are no spoilers. Enjoy.

    Summary

    Shane lifts one eyelid again to look at Rozanov. His eyes are red-rimmed. Like he’s been crying. “Why…why aren’t you in Boston?”

    Rozanov’s brow furrows. “Why would I be in Boston?”

    “You, you’re captain. Raiders. Boston.”

    The room is silent except for the beeping of monitors.

    In 2023, Shane takes a bad hit on the ice. When he wakes up, the last thing he remembers is a tuna melt.

    There’s a lot to get used to.

    Summary

    Ilya wanted so badly to just tell Svetlana: It’s Shane Hollander, it’s always been Shane Hollander. He wanted to invite her over after the game so he'd know it was possible for her and Shane to exist in the same room without the world collapsing.

    He was calling Shane back before he even thought about it, his heart in his throat. 

    “Ilya?”

    “Can I invite Svetlana?"

    He could never have expected what happened next.

    Or: Only a few months after the cottage, Shane meets Svetlana—and goes to great lengths to defeat his jealousy.
