    “What's the first thing you want to do, now that we're retired?”

    Ilya was quiet for a moment, but his answer came with conviction.

    “I want to change my name.”

    Summary

    “Were you thinking of also bringing clothes?” Shane asked, glancing into Ilya’s suitcase.

    “Do you think we will need them?”

    “I’m just saying you might want the option of going outside,” Shane said, dropping a kiss on Ilya’s shoulder and wandering into the closet.

    Ilya was obviously going to pack clothing, he just had priorities. Like making sure their whole sex toy collection would fit into his suitcase, not to mention two of the biggest bottles of lube he’d been able to find.

    “Take the batteries out of anything that vibrates,” Shane called. Ilya rolled his eyes. What was he, an amateur? “Do you think I should bring two pairs of walking shoes or is one enough?”

    “How many walking tours are we going on?”

    “I don’t know.”

    “How do you not know? What have you been doing for the past month?”

    “Research! But I didn’t book anything yet in case we decide we want to just sit by the pool for ten days instead.”

     

    Or: Shane and Ilya Go Honeymooning. Set after The Long Game.

    Summary

    Once again, the story continues after "What We Build After".

    "What We Carry After" follows Ilya and Shane in the fragile aftermath of loss, when grief has already cracked everything open and love must decide whether it is strong enough to stay. What began as survival slowly turns into something deeper: a family formed not by plan, but by choice.

    As they navigate custody hearings, old wounds and the sudden responsibility of raising a grieving four-year-old, both are forced to confront what they carry from their pasts... And what they are willing to carry forward together.

    The story explores quiet domestic moments alongside overwhelming fear, the weight of love when it becomes permanent and the courage it takes to choose hope when nothing is guaranteed.

    This is not a story about saving a child.
    It is about two broken people realizing that, in loving her, they may finally be healing themselves.

    What We Carry After is a story about grief, chosen family and the kind of love that doesn’t erase pain, but makes it possible to live with it.

    Summary

    Ilya has finally convinced Shane to take time off from running their camps in the off season so they can go on their honeymoon. They need a break from reality and the prying eyes that are always on them now that they're out and married.

    _____________

     

    "Boarding in 30 minutes, lets get coffee and go now, yes?" Ilya suggested.

    Shane nodded, briefly letting his head drop to where Ilya's hand laid on his shoulder. The small bit of affection sent a warm surge through Ilya's chest.

    Ilya's eyes dropped to Shane's hand, where he wore the onyx wedding band that matched his own. Whenever he felt anxious, looking at that seemed to help ground him, remind him that they had made it through so much already.

    Summary

    “Dada!” Misha yells, spotting him.
    Ilya turns, already bracing himself. He’s mentally cataloging the damage. The inch of water on the floor. The soaked towels. The inevitable lecture.
    But Shane cuts him off before he can say a word.

    “They’re happy,” Shane says simply, smiling.

    Ilya blinks. “They are actively flooding the bathroom,” he says, wringing out a washcloth that immediately drips onto the tile again.

    “As long as they’re clean,” Shane replies, easy, “we’ll put down towels.”

    Ilya stares at him like he’s speaking a foreign language. This is the same man who once insisted the spice drawer be alphabetized (easy, when you never used any), threw a fit over a single water ring, and ran a three-hour Sunday deep clean before the cleaners even showed up.

    Fatherhood has loosened him in ways Ilya still doesn’t fully understand. Maybe it’s knowing the chaos ends. Maybe it’s knowing this part is finite.

    Summary

    After the longest season of his career, Ilya retreats to the cottage with Shane, expecting rest, recovery, and a month of stolen peace. Instead, exhaustion lingers. Small things feel wrong. And the body that has always carried him through pain begins to falter in ways he can’t explain.

    As concern grows and outside eyes begin to notice, the life Ilya and Shane have carefully built—careers, borders, futures—starts to feel fragile. When a medical crisis shatters their summer before answers arrive, love is no longer something they protect quietly. It becomes something they fight with.

    A story about what happens when the body speaks before you’re ready to listen, and the people who refuse to let you face it alone.
