    Summary

    “Sometimes, I wish he was a worse person,” Ilya admits one night, while he and Yuna are doing the dishes. Shane and Ilya had come over for chicken parmesan, and it had been a lovely dinner, right up until David, clearing the plates, mentioned that he had met a guy at the store the other day who was a big fan of Shane’s, had a kid who idolized him.

    David asked if Shane could sign a piece of merchandise for him, maybe record a video. Shane said yes, because he had a rule, about doing things for child fans. Now, Shane was off shooting a video while Ilya did the dishes, and Ilya already knew the way it would require Shane to drag his public face up from the depths of his stomach, the work it would take him to shed it afterwards, the way it would taint this evening.

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov is in love, closeted, catastrophically lonely, and apparently incapable of referring to Shane Hollander in present tense.

    The Centaurs come to a- given the circumstances- reasonable conclusion.

    Or:
    Five times the Centaurs thought Ilya Rozanov was mourning his dead wife, and the one time they discovered his wife was actually Shane Hollander.
    Shane, for the record, is alive and really confused.

    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

    Shane Hollander wasn’t stupid. He knew his body was changing. It was hard to ignore the imperfections that made him question if he truly had any control left and made him unable to look at his body without feeling disgusted. But he wasn’t pregnant.

    He couldn’t be.

    He was an omega. Ilya was an omega. It was impossible. Biology didn’t work that way.

    However, he learned far too late that impossible didn’t mean much to Ilya Rozanov.

    Or

    Shane Hollander doesn’t realize he is pregnant until he is giving birth and, despite only giving birth to one child, he somehow ends up with two.

    Summary

    “Wha’ happened?” Shane mumbles.

    Ilya presses the call button for the nurse. “You took a bad hit during the game. We are at hospital.”

    Shane frowns. “What game?” he asks, and then, “Who are you?”

    Ilya blinks back the panic rising in his throat. “Shane, what the fuck? Is me. Ilya.”

    Shane is still frowning. “Rozanov?” he asks, and suddenly, like he’s had a premonition, Ilya knows what Shane is going to say next. Knows from the furrow between his brows and the hunch in his shoulders and the hands that are very conspicuously not reaching for him.

    “Rozanov,” Shane says again. “What the fuck are you doing here?”

    So this is what it feels like for your heart to break.

    --

    Or: In 2023, Shane takes a bad hit during a game and wakes up with no memory of the last twelve years of his life.

    Summary

    "Speaking from a selfish perspective, I hope you stay. But, we also have another offer."

    Ryland looks down at his best friend, eyebrow raised. Curiosity pushes the burgeoning tightness enough for him to ignore. "Yeah? What's that, Rock?"

    "We can build onto the Hail Mary— a spaceship large enough to carry you, me, and other scientists. We go to Earth with you," Rocky trills. Ryland can't believe his ears. Rocky's carapace tilts in the way that means he's smiling. "We live on Earth, learn from the humans, and return in our own time."

    Summary

    “Adrian will understand,” Rocky says confidently. “Will be excited to meet alien. Will be excited to meet person who brought me home.”

    “Yeah, and I'm excited to meet them too, but after that!” Is this a translation error? A cultural miscommunication? How is Rocky not getting it? “You're partners. They're not going to want some alien around while you're, like… going on dates and all that.”

    “Does not mean no time for Grace.” Rocky’s starting to sound frustrated. Part of me feels bad, but the rest is just as frustrated. “Why think this, question? On Earth, just abandon friends when have mate, question?”

    It's so clearly a rhetorical question, to which the answer is obviously supposed to be no, of course not. I freeze up anyway.

    Summary

    Grace didn't have much of anything these days. Less appetite, less strength, less of whatever it was that made a person reach for a disgusting coma food slurry bag and drink it down because it was necessary to live and do it all over again tomorrow because tomorrow existed and had things in it worth being alive for.

    Or - Grace's mental health deteriorates on the journey to Erid.

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov has spent ten years circling Shane Hollander. Ten years of hotel rooms and secret phone calls. Ten years of pretending he doesn't feel it, doesn't need it, doesn't wake up reaching for someone who's already gone. Ten years convincing himself he's not good enough. That he's not worth it.

    Then a plane needs to make an emergency landing near Montreal, and Yuna Hollander is on it.

    So when Shane calls him from a bathroom floor, unable to breathe, Ilya stops pretending.

    After five hundred miles of frozen highway, three and a half hours of driving like a man possessed, a hospital waiting room full of people who have every reason to hate him, and a boy who looks at him like he's something worth keeping, Ilya may have learned a thing or two about what it means to be loved—and to let himself love freely.

    Summary

    Yuna’s entire body aches, and it would appear that her instincts were right— Rozanov is small, and he’s vulnerable, and he’s tired, and he needed somewhere safe to rest.

    And Yuna can’t help the weird sense that she’s honoured— her home was somewhere for Rozanov to go, even if she and David knew nothing about any of it, even if they still don’t, Shane knew it would be safe for Rozanov here. Shane told him to come home.

    or,

    "His skates edge caught wrong, shifted his weight, and he fucking fell down. The world tilted just enough.
    That’s all it took.

    One bad second. One bad angle. The puck sliding away like it was never his to begin with.

    He swallows hard, throat tight.

    I lost them the Cup.

    The words belong to himself. They’re just there, sitting in his chest.

    Why—

    “What the fuck was that, Hollander?”"

    Summary

    The sound of joy has begun to settle down into a tense silence, some muttering and asking about what was going on. 

    “Be careful with his head,” Hayes is saying, voice thick with something. It is disturbing to see him so serious. Bood nods, and starts moving a lump out of the seat.

    Ilya raises an eyebrow, confused. “Who is passed out in my seat?”

    That is when Ilya finally sees what Bood and Hayes are crowding over. It is himself, his own body, passed out and slumped against the seat in the row in front of him. There is a worrying amount of blood coming out of his nose and a cut by the back of his head. Head wounds are terribly dramatic, but Ilya feels worried about this one. Mainly because he’s floating around like a ghost.

    ilya gets hit on the head during the emergency landing in Tampa and thus begins his week-long stint as a ghost. whatever bad thing that can happen, the proceeds to do so. it's definitely not fun for ilya, and definitely not fun for shane either.
