    Summary


    “If a crystal ball could tell you the truth about yourself, your life, the future or anything else, what would you want to know?” Quickly, Ilya adds, “Don’t say that you want to know if you win the Cup.”

    “Why not? What if that’s my answer?”

    “Is so boring, Hollander. Of course you want to know this. But Ilya Rozanov and Boston Raiders exist in this world, so crystal ball says, so sad, but no.”

    “Fuck off. What are these questions even for, anyway? Are you interviewing me for something? Wouldn’t you have to, like, tell me if you were?”

    Ilya is quick to assure Hollander before his paranoia takes him right out of this phone call. “It is not for interview, Hollander. I am just wondering. Answer the question.”

    “And I can’t say that I would want to know whether I win the Cup.”

    “Yes, other than that.”

    “I guess… I guess I would want to know, like, am I happy?”

    Summary

    Welcome to my conspiracy theory that there is an alternate timeline to the Great Tuna Meltdown of October 2016. What would have happened if Shane *had* stayed the night? This is a look at the evening and morning that could have been.

    Summary

    Ilya held his gaze. A lot had changed. Shane's jet black hair had grown long, the messy and unkempt ends grazing his shoulders. It was as if he'd abandoned grooming entirely, yet the look still worked for him. A rough shadow of stubble covered his jaw now, making him appear older, more rugged. But it was his eyes that made Ilya pause. They were still brown, still sharp, only... quieter, like something in them had dulled. The sight stirred an uncomfortable familiarity in Ilya, like looking at a reflection of someone he used to be, and that thought bothered him more than he expected.

    or: Ilya ended things with Shane at the 2014 Vegas event, only to deeply regret it when fate crossed their paths again in the summer of 2024.

    Summary

    "Promise me you will not freak out."
    "Now I'm starting to worry."
    "You know those stories people read on internet? About drunk people making bad choices..."
    Shane tilted his head slightly, his eyebrows raised, his eyes pleading for him to just get to the point.
    "It turns out that last night..."
    Ilya was cut off by a notification on Shane’s phone.
    "‘I deny all responsibility for decisions made by your husband this weekend,’" Shane read aloud, showing the screen to Ilya.
