    Summary

    "Because they swear you're the one who made them do it."

    The words leave Aizawa's mouth, and Shinsou feels his whole chest cave in on itself. It becomes excruciating to breathe. Harder to think, even. Betrayal and dread swirling into a very destructive cocktail of hurt, drowning any possible attempt at a coherent thought.
    --

    Or pro hero Snakecharmer faces one of his worst nightmares. Bakugou is, against all odds, very willing to help, and Shinsou finds he's having trouble processing the implications of it all.

    Summary

    Six months ago, Shane’s intimate conversation and break-up with Rose Landry was recorded and leaked. In those six months, his life had completely upended and everything had changed, for better or for worse. Except for Ilya. He still has Ilya, and he’s beginning to understand that he always will.

    It’s 2018. Shane Hollander has to figure out his new life, in a new city, on a new team, while being out to the world but not by his own choice. Ilya, along for the ride, also has to learn what it means to be connected to a place, to a person, and to his own inner truth.

    (Sequel to “something you can fix,” set post-Heated Rivalry, pre-The Long Game)

    Summary

    Maybe if the video ended there, Shane thought, it would be okay. Okayish. Still incriminating. Still a fucking disaster. Still embarrassing, to have his breakup with this beautiful actress filmed and disseminated on Reddit of all fucking places, but not a nail in his coffin, burying him alive. But the video didn’t end there.

    “Can I ask if you’ve ever been with another guy?” she had to ask.

    And he, tears visible in his eyes, had to nod.

    Just once. Just a single nod.

    Why did he have to nod?

    “Have you ever told anyone that before?” He shook his head. “Was it different? With a guy?”

    “Of course.”

    Of course.

    “Was it better?”

    “Yes.”

    +++

    Shane’s conversation with Rose is secretly recorded. Months later, after the All-Star game and Ilya’s confession in Russian, the video gets leaked online. Shane is outed to the world while Ilya is in Russia, and must now finish the 2016-2017 season with the entire world in on his secret.

    Summary

    “Try harder, next time.”

    Sound leached away slowly like a volume knob turning, static buzzing faintly up in its place.

    Tim stared at Bruce’s back, uncomprehending. “Me?” he wanted to say. “Me? Try harder?” But all that came out was a strangled puff of air, mouth framing the disbelief he couldn’t seem to voice.

    (Bruce gives feedback poorly. Tim handles it equally so.)
