    Summary

    Shane and Ilya broke up. It was the adult, mature decision they made together and moved on from. Except Shane is still Ilya's emergency contact and Ilya's coach just called.

    Ilya had a seizure. Well, seizures. Multiple. He is in the hospital, in the operation block and suddenly Shane is met with the possibility that last words Ilya Rozanov ever heard from him were "Maybe love isn't enough."

    And then complications occur. And Ilya is not waking up.

    ***

    They’d sat on a perfectly ordinary Wednesday afternoon in their perfectly ordinary kitchen, with coffee that had gone cold on the table between them, and calmly dismantled the life they’d built together. One sentence at a time.

    “Maybe we need space.” “Maybe we’re just hurting each other.” “Maybe love isn’t enough.”

    He wants to go back and shove that version of himself against the wall. Shake him until his teeth rattle.

    Love is the only thing that matters when someone is under general anaesthesia and a stranger is touching their brain, Shane thinks wildly. Love is literally the only currency worth anything in a room like this.

    Summary

    “Ilya–” Shane breathed, high and wheezy. “You can’t– You can’t leave me! Please, God, please, don’t take him. Please, please, I can’t lose– I can’t–”

    A blaring alarm yanked him out of his panic like a fish out of water. He shot upright, flailing his limbs that were caught in something soft. Blurred splashes of colour steadily painted a picture of a bedroom he’d recognise anywhere. It was brighter now, light pouring in through partially shut curtains. His breath was heavy and he struggled making sense of how the hell he’d ended up in bed when just a moment ago, Ilya had–

    “Hollander.” Ilya slurred, narrowing his eyes at him. “Turn that thing off.”

     

    Or, Shane is stuck in a time loop that resets whenever his fiancé dies.

    Summary

    Cloud has no idea who this guy is – someone who’s always mysteriously appeared out of nowhere during the shakiest periods of his whole life, never seems to grow any older, and is as bright as the sun. A nameless, ageless, happy-go-lucky stranger watching his back.
    (Or: post-canon fix-it in which Zack is pulled back to life, proceeds to jump through time, and unexpectedly makes a huge impact when he ends up being present at certain moments in Cloud’s past).

    Summary

    On Regulus' birthday, a year after Regulus went into the cave, Sirius went to a bar to get drunk and started talking to the barman.

    “You talk about your brother in the past tense.”
    “Yeah.” Sirius agreed although it wasn’t phrased as a question and took a sip of his drink, averting his eyes. “He killed himself last year. I kinda wish he’d left a note or something. Anything.”

    Little did Sirius know that Regulus had survived and he was living in hiding, using Polyjuice Potion to disguise himself as a Muggle. He was also working as a barman.

    Sirius was talking to Regulus.

    Summary

    A tremor ran beneath the little thing‘s hide as Wolfwood ran the long golden feather between his fingers, brushing off the dirt.

    “Heya, little fella,” he whispered. “You still alive or what?”

    The defenseless little creature shuddered, its stumpy legs twitching as though it wanted to run, but it couldn’t even lift its head. It mewled softly, an animal sound of hurt, then laid back in exhaustion.

    ***

    Once upon a time, in the ruins of a kingdom far, far away, Nicholas D Wolfwood finds a little creature and takes care of it. Little does he know, the critter is a cursed prince…
