    One year.

    It's not so long when Ilya thinks about it, not when they've spent almost ten the way they have.

    One year, and Boston will be in the rear-view and his future with Shane will be within reach. He's a patient man. How long can a year feel, really?

    Summary

    adulting
    /əˈdʌltɪŋ/
    noun informal

    The practice of behaving like a responsible adult, especially by completing ordinary but necessary tasks such as paying bills, managing a home, making appointments, working, cleaning, cooking, or caring for oneself and others.

    Example usage:

    For Shane Hollander, adulting had once meant signing contracts, buying and building property, investing in sensible furnishings, and handling the pressure of being in the public eye; then he started building a life with Ilya Rozanov, and the word began to mean something else entirely.

    Summary

    It figures that even half-way across the world Ilya's dick manages to ruin Cliff's day. The real surprise is that it isn't the only dick involved in this mess.

    Featuring an ill-timed outing, a supportive but clueless team trying its best, panicking over Russia's LGBTQ laws, too many group chats, an unhinged 3am brainstorming session on how to get your captain a new citizenship (asking for a friend) and Roz' inability to answer his fucking phone.

    Or: Ilya disappears in Sochi. Half-way across the world his team does its best to help. Their best is more than anyone could have foreseen.

    Summary

    The first thing you should know about time loops is that they’re really fucking hard to break. The second thing is that you can never break one in such a way that it is incapable of returning.

    The third thing you should know is that everyone around you has probably been stuck in a time loop at one point or another, and they made it out alive. This is only comforting if you’re a numbers guy, or if you’re the kind of guy who talks to others about how it feels to live the same day over and over and over and over and over and over again.

    Shame if you’re not; the most important thing you should know about breaking a time loop is that it helps to tell someone you’re trapped in one in the first place.
