Summary
Ilya was used to hazing. He had been subjected to it, he had participated in it, and, as a captain, he had stood guard over the rookies and protected them from anything truly harmful. But if he had been asked, Ilya would have approved of this prank. He would have authorized it, given Cliff and Vicky his seal of approval, perhaps even helped orchestrate it.
Any other day, Ilya might have been happy to play along.
But, in perfect dramatic irony, it had not happened any other day. It had happened today. And, cherry on top, of course the rookie had to walk in when Shane was already freaking out about Ilya saying his name.
+++
A prank-gone-wrong leads to the Boston Bears finding out about Shane and Ilya’s relationship in 2016. The day Ilya first invited Shane into his house. Right after they say each other’s names for the first time. Fuck his life, honestly.

Summary
In the wake of Taggie and Rupert’s kiss and Cameron and Tony’s fight, everything in Taggie’s life went to shit. The man she loved moved another woman into his home, her father needed more parenting than her younger sister, and Taggie was generally heartbroken and exhausted.
As Taggie hid away in the Priory kitchen making canapés, she took comfort in the fact that everyone seemed oblivious to her misery--with one tall, dark, and handsome exception.
Bas Baddingham, avowed bachelor and Rutshire’s most emotionally competent rake, had watched Taggie and his best friend circle each other for months. So when Cameron moved into Penscombe, Bas was unsurprised to see Taggie become a shell of her former self.
In an effort to do Taggie a good turn, Bas decides to take her to the annual Hunt Ball. And when she decides she fancies a casual fling, Bas is delighted–uncomplicated casual flings are his specialty, after all.
Unfortunately for both Bas and Taggie, love and casual flings will prove surprisingly complicated.

So when Shane starts bringing men over, and Ilya begins to want to bash their fucking heads in, Ilya comes to a startling conclusion: He must be homophobic.
(He’s jealous.)

Summary
"Oh." Hollander has gone a little red, beneath his freckles. "I am from… French Canada? Québec? Do you know? Very… very small town there, no English, only French. I try to learn, but— is a bit hard."
Ilya feels mildly stupid. He knew, obviously, that they speak French in Canada, but he didn’t know it was, like— some people’s only language. He’d sort of assumed everyone was fluent in both.
"Huh. Cool."
"Your English is very good," Hollander offers.
Ilya laughs.
"I mean, yeah— I grew up in Minneapolis."
