    Summary

    "Apologise to my husband."

    Comeau stared at him.

    "I'm not-"

    "I didn't ask if you wanted to," Shane said, his voice ice cold. "I said apologise to my husband. You're going to do it now, in front of this building full of people, and then we're going to finish this game, and if I hear you say something like that again, to either of us or to anyone else in this league, the next conversation we have will not be as easy as this one."

    Summary

    Ilya was quiet for a long moment. "I'm scared I'm going to end up like my mother."

    Ilya is struggling while Shane is on the road with the Metros, and the distance, combined with a brutal depressive episode, leaves Ilya spiralling. When everything becomes too much and the intrusive thoughts won't stop, Ilya takes Anya for a walk - and somehow ends up at Shane's parents' house.

    Summary

    "Hey," Shane says, settling on the bed beside him. "Look at me."

    Ilya turns his head, and Shane can see how much he's struggling - the exhaustion in his eyes, the weight of everything he's been carrying pulling him down.

    "I'm going to take care of you," Shane says. "Okay?"

    Ilya's breath catches. "Shane-"

    "You need this," Shane says. "You need to let go. And I'm going to help you."

    "I don't know if I can," Ilya admits quietly.

    "You can," Shane says. "I've got you. Just trust me."

    Ilya searches his face for a long moment, then nods.

    "Good," Shane says. "Get undressed and lie down on your stomach."

    After a few difficult weeks on the road, Ilya is exhausted. Wound tight and on the verge of a depressive episode, he's beating himself up and stuck in his own head. Luckily, Shane knows exactly what he needs.

    Summary

    Hi, this is Ilya. I will never listen to your voicemail.

    Shane jolts like he’s been shot, a sharp breath bursting from the depths of his diaphragm. The comfort of hearing Ilya’s voice fizzles out with the knowledge that Ilya didn’t pick up. Logic says he’s still on the flight. But why would he—

    Ilya knows how Shane is, how he gets. He wouldn’t send a bunch of ominous fucking messages and then drop off the face of the earth without letting Shane know he’s okay.

    Except, he did. Which means—

    The plane scene, reimagined. ft. Ilya's voicemail.
