    Summary

    Shane is still learning that he doesn't have to be perfect in his own relationship. Ilya is still learning the rules of Shane's bad days. So when Shane tries to push him away after a crushing loss, it leads to a tense argument. But ten years of rivalry are no match for Shane’s tears; the second he starts to cry, Ilya folds like a house of cards.

    Or: Shane tries to starve himself as punishment for losing, Ilya tries to feed him, and it turns into a very soft night of pampering because Ilya is legally incapable of staying angry at a crying Shane.

    Summary

    “Ilya,” Shane whispers. “Ilya, baby, can you open your eyes?”

    He’s met with silence, and the frantic tremor of his heart turns into an earthquake. The ice beneath him seeps into his veins and freezes his blood. Panic claws at his chest, scaling his ribcage like a ladder and lodging in his throat. He can barely breathe around the terror.

    “Ilya, you need to open your eyes. You need to look at me.”

    Summary

    Harry was sure he wouldn't survive the war. But he did. And everyone was moving on, even Malfoy. Except Harry's not okay, and when George, who is also very much not okay, offers a way to make it all better, Harry accepts.
    And now Harry has a chance to see how his life would have been if his parents hadn't died in 1981.

    (A lot of family dynamics, depression and grief, feelings of guilt, too much drinking, light and fluffy moments too, working on trauma and growing up, friendships)
