    Hayden finds Lily’s contact and touches the little call button.

    After a short time, the call connects. “Shane,” a breathless sound reaches his ear, a broken heavy Russian accent cut off by a choked up sob. “You scared me.”

    Hayden hangs up.

    Summary

    Rozanov cocked his head. “You speak Russian? Or just the curse words?”

    “Yes, I speak Russian,” he snapped, defensive and angry. He knew that it had been a mistake to even try to be friendly with Rozanov. “Why? Do I not look Russian to you?” He scoffed.

    “No, not really,” Rozanov said. Some of his teammates laughed, although they mostly looked surprised that Shane was speaking to them at all. Rozanov didn’t laugh, though. “Are you Russian?”

    “Go fuck yourself.”

Instead of being branded as rivals from the very beginning, Ilya and Shane start off as friends.

    And, after all, a little friendly rivalry never hurt anyone, did it?

    Summary

    After an accident in the lab, Viktor discovers he can hear the thoughts of anyone he touches. It would be an easy thing to manage in his relatively solitary lifestyle, except for the fact that Jayce Talis, his dearest friend and research partner, has never once understood the concept of ‘personal space’.

    Inspired by Cherry Magic. Set vaguely between part 1 and 2 of Season 1.
