Summary
“I was looking forward to last night,” Rozanov says, soft. His pinky finger touches the back of Shane’s hand, just barely, feather light, as if Shane is something fragile.
Something is—off, that has nothing to do with the floaty feeling of the painkillers in his system. Rozanov is looking at him, and his gaze is weighted, pinning him in place. There are bags under his eyes and a slight tilt to the corner of his mouth and his pinky is hooked onto Shane’s and there’s something at the edge of Shane’s consciousness, like chasing a dream, that’s telling him he’s missing something, he’s supposed to remember something—
“I’m sorry,” Shane stammers out. “Did we have plans or something scheduled for last night? I’m having some trouble remembering.”

Summary
Buck’s voice trails off, and Eddie really shouldn’t be listening to this. Buck doesn’t know he's here, this is an invasion of privacy, he should really turn the volume down, or leave the kitchen, or leave this house entirely—
“I just don’t know how to… how to not love him. I don’t think I’ll ever stop.”
Eddie stays rooted to the spot.

or. a 9x01 coda where Eddie overhears something on the baby monitor. -

Summary
It's not silent, not really. There are distant sirens, coming from somewhere up above. There are the rustlings of leaves from the trees surrounding them. Beside him, the ragged, desperate breath of Eddie trying not to cry.
“Eddie…”
Eddie laces their hands together and gives a weak squeeze. “We’re okay, Buck,” he says like he’s repeating a mantra. There’s blood on his teeth. Buck gags. “The ambulance is coming. We’re gonna be okay.”
*
or: Buck and Eddie wreck their car. -

Summary
The drizzle grows a little heavier, as if it can tell Eddie’s stalling. It’s on its way to becoming proper rain. He should use it as an out, and get out of here before the roads get slick.
He claps his hands together, and watches Buck flinch. “I guess that’s it, then.”
“Guess so.” Buck stuffs his hands into his pockets and leans back on his heels. He’s the perfect picture of nonchalance, and Eddie sees right through him. A gust of wind, and with it a sense of urgency thrums in his veins. Desperation.
This is it.

a 8x10 coda where they have a different goodbye. -

Summary
Because he knows what Buck is going to say. He’s going to say it, he’s going to name the thing Eddie’s been so carefully avoiding. Their relationship has been a minefield for years, and Eddie has gotten extremely good at picking his next move carefully, but Buck is about to throw caution to the wind and take a daring step forward without watching where he places his feet.
He’s filled with so much dread in an instant, but he’s helpless to stop Buck as he’s opening his mouth to say:
“Eddie, I think I’m in love with you.”
*
or: Eddie works through years of repression and catholic guilt to chose the life he wants.

Summary
“Fuck, look at you,” Ilya breathes. “Ask me for it again.”
“Hit me,” Shane says instantly, not a moment of hesitation.
“Is your face not sore? You still want more?”
“It’s sore,” Shane answers. “Please. I want more.”
“Fuck,” Ilya hisses, and he extends his arm out, muscular and powerful, and he brings it down hard, harder than any of the previous smacks. This one makes Shane’s head reel, his entire upper half jolting in response to it. Ilya watches in concern and fascination, gauging his reaction.
---
Ilya's playful slap during the Hayden phone call scene awakens something in Shane.

Summary
“There’s information coming out that the Centaur’s plane crashed on its way to Tampa.”
The entire world tilts on its axis.
For a moment Shane feels like he’s being burned alive, and then in an instant it’s just bitter cold; there’s ice in his veins, his lungs, his heart. God, his heart. Is it still beating? He can’t tell. Surely not. Surely, if Ilya were - if he were gone, then Shane’s heart would have fallen still. There would be nothing left for it to beat for.

Summary
When Shane Hollander stormed out of Ilya Rozanov’s Massachusetts house (deep in the boondocks, of course), he hadn’t quite premeditated that his rival-slash-situationship-to-end-all-situationships’ home would come with a few… logistical challenges.
Namely, not a single rideshare within a twenty-minute radius.
Because of course Rozanov—not exactly one for subtlety—would live on a fucking compound in the middle of nowhere.

Summary
Hayden cuts himself off at the sound of something he hears so rarely, he’s almost sure he’s imagining it. He scans the room, looking for the source, and sure enough, his eyes land on his target.
There, nestled in between two of his teammates on the couch, is Shane Hollander.
Laughing. Out loud. Audibly.
Like, he’s actually fucking laughing, not the fake laughs he forces out to make other people more comfortable. In fact, he’s laughing so hard, he looks like he might cry, and Hayden would be delighted by the sight of it if he weren’t so fucking concerned. Shane Hollander doesn’t laugh at parties. Shane Hollander barely laughs when he’s actually happy, and he’s never happy at parties. So what gives?
Or:
Shane Hollander accidentally gets very high. That's it, that's the fic.
