    Summary

    Yuna's breath caught. "What did you say, baby?"

    "Please." Shane's forehead was still pressed to his knee. "Please, please, please—"

    Hayden shifted closer. "Please what? Tell me what you need, Shane.”

    Then, so faint that all three of them had to lean in just to catch it. "...I need him.”

    Yuna's hand found David's. "Who, sweetheart? Who do you need?"

    “Ilya."

     

    Or: It's been a month since the tuna melts. Shane's been getting closer to breaking every day, until he finally does, in front of his parents and the Pikes. In the middle of the panic, he blurts out the only thing he needs: Ilya. So they call him.

    Summary

    Cliff sees the name on Shane's phone before Shane says it aloud, and his thumb tightens against the wet label of his beer bottle.

    VIKTOR SOKOLOV. LW. MOSCOW.

    The Falcon, his brain supplies, with no respect whatsoever for timing, privacy, or the fact that they are sitting in a perfectly normal restaurant in Ottawa with bread on the table.

    Viktor Sokolov is supposed to be an old message thread from 2018.

    A bad idea with a profile picture. A door Cliff knocked on until something behind it said, very politely, very firmly, to stop contacting him.

    He had never told Shane that part. At the time, it had seemed like discretion. Now, sitting between Shane's phone and Ilya's face, it feels more like leaving a loaded gun in a drawer and hoping no one opened it with their bare hands.

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

    Ottawa offers Viktor Sokolov a clean professional exit, which would be ideal if the city were not infested with old ghosts, inconvenient kindness, and Cliff Marleau.

    Summary

    “I want this baby out of me.”
    “Soon, моя матрёшка,” Ilya replied, kissing Shane’s cheek.
    Shane rolled his eyes. “Not soon enough. And for the last time, I am not a матрёшка.”
    “Yes you are. You have little Shane inside,” Ilya retorted, rubbing his hand over his husband’s swollen belly to prove his point.

    OR

    Ilya fucks the brains out of his pregnant husband (whom he likes to refer to as "matryoshka" (Russian nesting doll))

    Summary

    This jumps in right after the cottage - it will not have spoilers for the Long Game, but there may be some characters from that book that show up here. The boys have just gone home for their respective preseasons. As with most of my work, this jumps around in the timeline. Watch out for that. Let me know in the comments if you were ever confused.
    It's entirely possible I wrote this for myself and no one else would be into this weird-ass concept which is perfectly fine - write the fanfic you want in the world! Basically I just wanted to create a world where Ilya would ACTUALLY die without Shane, and this is what came out. This has very light a/b/o dynamics. Other than the main hook of the story being rejection sickness, mostly it's just angst and hurt/comfort.
    I read every single comment and appreciate anyone who takes the time to read, comment, kudos, etc.

    Italic text = Russian
    This fic uses a skin to simulate text messages. If you turn it off or read on an e-reader, they should still be visible (no promises) - just not as fun. I tested it on my kobo (f*** bezos) with an epub and I could still see the texts
    No generative AI used in this fic - every word and error came from my fanfic-soaked brain.
