    Summary

    It wasn’t a problem, not really, it was just that sometimes, when Jesper looped an arm around his shoulders or Nina tousled his hair as she bustled past, his voice became caught up in his throat and his eyes stung for no apparent reason.

    Or: Wylan and touch starvation.

    Summary

    Kaz is prepared to bribe the owners of the other gambling halls not to admit him—he’s prepared to send some of the younger Dregs to beat Jesper to a mild pulp every time he tries to enter the Barrel, if necessary—but he hopes it won’t come to that. If you could beat an addiction out of someone, Jesper would have been cured years ago.

    “What, then? Spit it out.”

    The other man pauses at the window, staring out at the rain, and swallows before finally saying, “Wylan asked me to marry him.”

    Summary

    In Wylan’s defence, he didn’t intentionally set out to borrow anything from the Crows. It was just that he picked up a couple of blankets here and there, fell asleep in his chair and woke up to a coat draped over his shoulders, tried on Jesper’s hat for a laugh and ended up keeping it… and before he knew where he was, it had become his thing. Or: Wylan has a habit of stealing clothes from his fellow Crows and no one really minds.

    Summary

    This time when the phone rings, he’s ready. Ready in the only way he knows how to be, the way he would be on the ice: breath coming sharp, heart beating fast, adrenaline dripping. He’d known Shane would call again, the way he’d known Shane would get back on the ice in Detroit, wearing his shoulder injury like a badge. Shane can be very stubborn, sometimes. Shane should know better, this time. Ilya can’t be held responsible for whatever comes next. He picks up on the fifth ring.

    “This doesn’t have to be so difficult,” Shane says. He doesn’t sound angry. Mostly, he just sounds tired.

    Ilya laughs, manic around the edges.

    “I am not supposed to be easy for you, Hollander,” he says, “Big arch rival. Haven’t you heard?”

    Summary: Set during the timeline of the show, from the situationship era to the cottage. Over the years, Shane and Ilya learn how to talk to one another - bodies first, voices second.

    This story is complete with six chapters, and will be updated regularly.
