    Summary

    Six months ago, Shane’s intimate conversation and break-up with Rose Landry was recorded and leaked. In those six months, his life had completely upended and everything had changed, for better or for worse. Except for Ilya. He still has Ilya, and he’s beginning to understand that he always will.

    It’s 2018. Shane Hollander has to figure out his new life, in a new city, on a new team, while being out to the world but not by his own choice. Ilya, along for the ride, also has to learn what it means to be connected to a place, to a person, and to his own inner truth.

    (Sequel to “something you can fix,” set post-Heated Rivalry, pre-The Long Game)

    Summary

    Ilya knows that, between him and Shane, he's the more affectionate of the two. He's not sure if it's because he's from Europe, where everyone greets each other with a hug and a kiss on the cheek, or if it's because he grew up so starved for love and affection that he can't do anything except show Shane how much he loves him at any chance that he has.

    So, yes, he knows that he's the one most likely to kiss Shane on the cheek when he skates by him at practice or come up behind Shane when he's cooking dinner just to wrap his arms around him or fall on top of Shane while he's reading on the couch, desperate to have his skin touching Shane's.

    But, Shane… Shane loves Ilya differently. It's quieter. More intentional.


     

    Or, five times that Shane loved Ilya in his quiet way, and one time that he loved Ilya loudly.

    Summary

    Ilya laughs, but the noise comes out faint, bitter. It takes everything to keep his voice even, to keep it from breaking. “You got hit because you were looking at me, Shane. You turned back and smiled at me. Your career almost ended because you were smiling at me!

    There’s an empty pause, a horrific silence. He makes out as Shane digests the words, as the disbelief sets in. And then his face falls, completely and thoroughly. So does the cigarette from Ilya’s fingers— he smothers it with his foot. “It was an accident.”

    “No,” Ilya says. “We cannot do this. There’s no future for us. For this.”

     

    or: ilya tries to pull away. key word ‘tries’, because ilya can’t (truly) distance himself from shane as much as he tries, and shane won’t give up on the two of them (ft. some gentle meddling from their friends)

    Summary

    The idea that Will thinks someone is out of his league and Hannibal thinking Will is out of his. Takes place somewhere around Season 1 but it's mostly just conversations between the two men.

    I just really like the idea of an oblivious Will and Hannibal just being fluffy.
