Summary
Buck is brushing the top row of his teeth when his phone rings.
Holy shit.
Maybe it’s Athena, telling him what dish to bring to the next barbecue at the house. Maybe it’s Karen, asking him when he’s free for a wine night. Maybe it’s Eddie, checking in during downtime between calls, hiding away in the bunk room so they have a little bit of privacy as if they have anything private to discuss. Somehow their little conversations felt tucked away from everything else, when one of them was on shift without the other, a breath of air when he heard Eddie’s voice, talking about whatever stupid shit just like they always did before Buck went and ruined —
Damn it, Buck needs to pick up the phone.

Summary
Most days, life in Auradon was good. The four were adjusting slowly but surely to the bubbly, shiny kingdom, but some days didn't quite make the cut. Some days it felt like their progress was one step forward, two steps back.
Some days they just needed to hit something.
~~~~~~~~~~
Or - the Core Four spar with each other every now and again to let out their frustrations. One day that Jay approaches Mal, Ben gets invited along to watch.

Summary
Shane returns from the showers to find the locker room far more animated than when he left it. Everyone has their phones out, and when he sees Shane coming, JJ says, “Câlisse, Hollander, about fucking time! Ilya Rozanov got caught kissing a man.”
After the tuna melt debacle, but before Rose, Ilya makes the reckless decision to go to a gay bar to take his mind off of Shane. When photographs get published, Shane has a realization and devises a plan: he's going to ask Ilya Rozanov to marry him.
Ilya's going through enough without things he can't have being dangled in front of him. He needs to figure out a different way to avoid going home, because eventually Shane Hollander will realize what Ilya already knows: Ilya isn't worth what Shane wants to do for him.

Summary
Ilya Rozanov was not foremost in Yuna Hollander’s affections at the start. But, eventually, he has come around.
(i.e. Yuna and Ilya take their time to warming up to one another but, as the virtue goes, patience is a virtue.)

Summary
Svetlana knows about Jane. It's frankly insulting for Ilyusha to think otherwise.
She just never expected to have to call him for help. During the Olympics. In Russia. In the dead of night.
-
Or, it's Sochi 2014 and Russia has lost to Latvia. Grigori Rozanov, not yet compromised by illness, punishes his son for shaming the family. When Svetlana finds an injured and emotionally fragile Ilya, she knows she needs somewhere safe for him to recover. And there's only one person in Russia who Sveta trusts with her Ilyusha: Canada's Golden Boy, Shane Hollander.Series
