    Padmé Amidala is a force of nature, something dark, something burning.

    It's a good thing Bana has never been scared of fire.

    Summary

    Dick sounded amused. “You didn’t tell me you were coming.”

    “You should have known.”

    “Oh, I’m sorry. My latent psychic abilities haven’t kicked in yet,” Dick said. Then, as if the possibility was just occurring to him: “You told someone you were coming, right?”

    Tim made a noise, vague enough for Dick to interpret however he wanted.

    “Hey,” the next tug on the blanket was sharper, as was Dick’s voice. When he got the blanket down enough to see Tim’s face, he raised an eyebrow, repeating, “You told someone you were coming, right?”

    Or: Tim and Bruce have a fight. Tim does the only logical thing and goes to Dick about it.

    Summary

    "We're setting you up with a billet situation," Fletcher continued. "It's pretty common for first-year players, especially international guys. Gives you a chance to settle in, learn the city, have someone looking out for you."

    "Okay," Ilya said slowly, not entirely sure what a billet was, but not wanting to admit his ignorance.

     He could guess from the context – he’d heard of rookies being assigned to live with older single players, veterans who could show them the ropes. Maybe that was what Fletcher meant. Connors maybe, he was probably a handful of years older than Ilya. Or perhaps Becker. Ilya just hoped it was someone who–

    "You'll be staying with Nikolai Petrov and his family."

    The words hit Ilya like a punch to the gut. For a moment, he forgot how to breathe.

    "Petrov?" he managed, his voice coming out strangled.

    The Bears decide that Ilya should be set up with a billet for his first season. The idea of spending a year living with a man that Ilya is sure hates him is completely terrifying. And yet, it ends up being the best thing to ever happen to him.

    Summary

    The beginning of the process was fairly easy. Ilya turned on the new phone and followed the directions to start the transfer, but it stalled out at the same step as it had for the genius person. Ilya spent some time scrolling through Reddit and checking if it was his photos, or maybe his contacts, until he saw a post from BigPapi27: my problem was with my voicemail lolll never checked it and it was full as hell. had to clear it out and then everything was fine.

    Well. That was probably it. Ilya didn’t think he’d checked his voicemail since he’d played for Boston. He wasn’t even sure where it lived on the phone, so he googled that too, and found out that not all the notifications on the phone call app were from missed calls. A lot of them were, but just as many were voicemails he hadn’t known were taking up all this space, causing him problems. 

    And, he realized as he scrolled, so many of them were from Shane.

    (or, shane starts leaving ilya voicemails. years later, ilya finds them all)

    Summary

    Her student loans won’t pay themselves, and Ema doesn’t consider herself above accepting easy money from a millionaire. “Depends on the job.” She takes a long sip of her coffee—god, it is disgusting—and eyes him. “You haven’t said what it is.” She tilts her cup in his direction and forces the rest of her drink down.

    Klavier shrugs. “Head of security for the Gavinners concert.”

    Ema chokes on her coffee.
