   Summary

   “Oh Ilya, sweet boy,” she choked out, her eyes locking on his. “Being mean isn’t what makes a man brave. What does a bully need to fear? But you are only eleven and already such a good man. You want to do more even when it could hurt you. That… That’s real bravery.”

   “But I’m scared. …”

   “It’s scary, yes, but you are brave.”

   ---------------------------

   Ilya gets brave over a series of moments ranging from childhood to Heated Rivalry days to an alt-TLG future.
