    Summary

    Something's wrong with Ilya and it feels like Shane is the only one who can tell.

    Once he talks himself into checking on Ilya at his Boston apartment (despite a glaring lack of booty-call texts) he in short order:
    (1) finds Ilya with a fever,
    (2) stumbles straight into Ilya's childhood trauma,
    (3) meets Svetlana, and
    (4) gets acquainted with old Russian cold remedies.

    --

    Canon-diverging Sickfic. Set during the last game Ilya plays before his father dies. Contains spoilers for The Long Game.

    Happy ending (but it might hurt a little bit on the way)!

    Summary

    So he reaches and searches for the prior conversation where he was told about his memory loss and the man beside him. He checks the nooks and crannies of his mind, desperately hoping that it hasn’t failed him. That the effort he’s put into maintaining his intelligence over the years has been worth it because this time, he can be better.

    But, he finds nothing.

    It’s empty. Blank. Scattered and useless.

    Alex looks down at his lap, at his legs hidden by starchy white bed sheets. “I don’t understand,” he whispers, tearfully. “I don’t remember. Why can’t I remember?”

    --

    or, Alex loses the the last five and a half years of his memory along with any recollection of his relationship with Henry

    Summary

    Smacking the modem again, Alex knew his efforts were fruitless. He reset the stupid thing four times now and nothing worked. His only option was smacking it, and that didn’t work either. Glancing out of the window he noticed the snow started coming down a little bit harder, but not enough to cause Internet issues, he didn’t think so

    “Fucking hell.” He smacked the modem again, saying a silent prayer - but instead of coming back to life all of the lights went out. Dead.

    Shit

    He’s going to disappoint Henry. Surely, he’s going to fire him for the lack of accountability. It’s an important project too, it’s meant to be released the day after Christmas. 

    or - Alex narrates books for Henry’s publishing company. Right as he was ready to submit his latest project, his Internet up and died. This leaves him with the only option - drive three hours to Henry’s cottage in the woods—in the middle of a snow storm.
