    Summary

    They're having breakfast when he tells them. He only remembers because he'd dreamed weird again last night. This time it was an older boy, who was trying to stop a little golden-haired baby from crying.

    “What,” says Mom, in that flat voice she gets when she's trying not to sound surprised.

    “...what?” says Dad, who clearly hadn't been listening. That's fine, Shane forgets to listen too, sometimes.

    “I keep dreaming people I don't know,” Shane repeats patiently. He can be patient.

    Shane Hollander habitually ends up in other people's dreams, which is fine. It's a family trait, on both sides, to slip into the dreams of the people you love. What's less fine is how Shane keeps dreaming strangers.

    Or: like if a soulmates au took several detours.

    Summary

    Ilya's had worse injuries than a skate cut on his ribs. He's had worse pain than this. He's had worse weeks. He hasn't told Shane any of this, which is its own problem — but then Shane sees the red lines spreading up Ilya's side, and the problem becomes something else entirely.

    Summary

    “Man, when did you learn Russian?” Pike asked.

    “Did you do that for Viktor?” J.J. said. “You’re too good, Capitaine.”

    *****
    Montreal's newest rookie doesn't speak much English. Luckily, Shane has learned enough Russian from Ilya to help. This is the story of their unlikely friendship, told from the rookie's point of view.

    Summary

    ILYA: Do we know anyone in Seattle?
    SCOTT: Why?
    SHANE: Because we played them last night and now Ilya is convinced their second line wingers are fucking.

    Sequel to Gotta catch ‘em all that probably can be read as a standalone and definitely doesn't need to exist.
