    Summary

    Ilya knows what he is. He has always known what he is. The word for it in Russian tastes like something you'd scrape off a boot.

    The word in English is bisexual, which is a nicer word, which he has heard, which he does not use. He uses other words. He uses the word his brother taught him. He uses it on himself before anyone else can.

    He grows up. He gets good at hockey. He moves to America. He... falls in love.

    (Or, five times people fail to notice Ilya being queer, and one time they have no choice.)

    Summary

    It’s that simple gesture, that offhanded comment, the implication that they will not, in fact, be meeting at Shane’s weird murder building tonight, that sends Ilya unraveling as he leaves the office. Because of course this is just sex for Shane. You do not invite your fuckbuddy over to take care of you. The privilege of sleeping next to someone, of grabbing ice for their bruises, of making food when they’re too tired to stand, that all falls into the hands of a lover. A real lover. Not the rival you fuck because who else could you trust to keep quiet.

    OR: Ilya accidentally hits Shane too hard on the ice, and the following chain of events leaves him hollow and uncertain and wishing things could be different.

    The first time Dean met Castiel was at a wedding. They would have a lot of firsts.

    It was the start of a love story, of sorts.

    Summary

    When Xiao Xingchen smiles again, it is still small but soft, bringing light back to his face. “I will always come back to you,” he says. “There is no need to worry about finding me.”
    Song Lan can only stare for a moment, the gentle sincerity of the words shaped with a promise. “You should rest,” Song Lan says, rather than give an answer. For if he did, the words tripping over his lips like a stream over stones would be yes, come back to me always, just as I will always come back to you.

    (Or: Song Lan has been in love with Xiao Xingchen since they were seventeen, but fate is cruel.)
