    Summary

    Shane tries to remember, peering into the darkness surrounding the car with a furrowed brow. It hurts to move, and he feels something warm and slick sliding down his cheek.

    More blood, his mind supplies rather unhelpfully.

    He was driving after dark, but he shouldn’t have been. He wasn’t supposed to be. They had all night together, so why is he here?

    I already chose you, Hollander.

    Shane inhales sharply as his mind slowly fills in the gaps in his memory. They fought. Ilya told him to leave. Shane did.

    And then he crashed.

    Summary

    “You bring me flowers?” Rozanov asks, incredulous. “Like I am on death bed?”

    Shane rolls his eyes, secretly relieved that Rozanov isn't making a bigger deal of the gesture than it needs to be. He pulls the bunch of tulips out of the bag and thwacks Rozanov lightly on the shoulder with them.

    “You ungrateful asshole,” he says. “You stay here and try to nap. I’m going to get started on the soup.”

    --

    Alternate timeline where the club scene never happens. Instead, Ilya gets sick and someone unexpected shows up to take care of him.

    Summary

    Rozanov chuckled, "Let me guess. Too many people, too much noise. You hiding outside like grumpy old man?"

    Normally, Shane would've snapped back. Rolled his eyes. Said something sharp. Instead his chest seized again, breath catching painfully short. His vision tunneled, edges darkening.

    "No," he said, voice tight and strangled. "I–I can't– Ilya-"

    Summary

    Tomorrow, he'll call Shane and apologise. He'll fix what he broke. He doesn't want Shane to be angry at him anymore. 

    He doesn’t remember swerving to avoid a merging truck. 

    He also doesn’t remember hitting the tree.

    Or: Ilya gets into a car accident. Shane is there to pick up the pieces.
