Summary
With the first overall selection of the 2010 NHL draft, the New York Admirals are proud to select Shane Hollander.
“Ah, New York! New York is nice, yes?”
“Uh, yeah, I guess. I haven’t really spent much time there. Yet, I guess.”
“I am also moving to New York.”
----
On the night of the NHL draft, Shane Hollander goes to the gym. Ilya Rozanov may not be a hockey player, but somehow he is there, in Shane’s orbit, in New York, under his skin.
Or, how more proximity can turn a fuck buddy into a best friend, but falling in love is always hard.

On a roadie, Hayden convinces Shane to come shopping for an anniversary gift for Jackie with him. Surely they're the only two hockey players at this Boston jewelry store, right?

Summary
The first snowfall in Boston that year brings several things: a heavy layer of dirty snow coating all the roads of the city; a freezing, threatening cold to the air both inside and out; all incoming flights to Logan getting grounded before they could even think about taking off; and the breaking rumors that Ilya Rozanov is fucking men in his spare time.

Summary
It is December, and Scott has been out for long enough to pretend to be used to it, and things are not perfect but they’re fucking good, and Ilya Rozanov is at his apartment for dinner—has been for over an hour—and he’s still waiting so stupidly hopefully to introduce a boyfriend who very, very clearly isn’t coming.
(Or: studies on coming out, learning patience, one-sided conversations, and other absurdist waiting games.)

Summary
“It just feels like such a nothing story," Shane says. "But my mom’s so fucking... worked up about it.”
Ilya watches him. “I think,” he says carefully, “that your mom is also the parent of a teenage boy who played on that hockey team. And not just the manager of a person who is being asked for comment on a bad story. Yes?”
...
(Shane was fifteen years old when he moved to Sarnia.)

Summary
The morning after Ilya Rozanov kills himself, he wakes up next to Shane in their shared bed in their shared house in their shared life, and Shane is still sleeping, so he doesn’t know what Ilya’s done yet.

Summary
He’s just about ready to doze off—his ritualistic pre-dinner, thirty-minute nap—when, suddenly, Ilya says, “Huh. Interesting.”
Shane cracks one eye open. “Hmm?”
“Oh, nothing, малыш,” he replies, though his brows are furrowed when he says it. Shane’s even more curious now.
“No, really, what is it?”
Ilya must lose some internal debate; a deep sigh leaves his body before, wordlessly, he turns his phone to Shane.
The bright light makes him squint, still not used to Ilya and his affinity for both using the light-mode feature and turning the brightness in his phone to a maximum. He forgoes scolding him when, after his eyes have adjusted, he reads: Metros acquires Fil-Canadian Rivera; second Asian player in franchise history after Hollander.
At first he thinks, oh, that’s my name. Shane hasn’t seen his name mentioned remotely near the words ‘Montreal Metros’ ever since he transferred to Ottawa three years ago. Then, and this is when it finally dawns on him, Shane thinks: second?

Summary
“I think I am a mistake,” Nicolò confesses.
“I thought God didn’t make mistakes.”
“You tell me.”
Andromache nudges his shoulder. “I do not think you are a mistake.”
“If there is to be a man to walk the world for thousands of suns, let it be a man like Yusuf,” Nicolò says. “A man who understands the weight of the sword, who trades in kindness, loyalty and honor. A man who can find beauty in a simple sunrise.”
“And what of a man like you?” Andromache asks.
“There are already too many men like me in this world,” Nicolò answers. “And we can cause more than enough damage within a mortal lifespan.”
Andromache is silent next to him. Somehow, Nicolò knows she understands. For as old as she is, she has likely seen far too many men like him already.
They stand in silence for a few minutes before she asks, “Do you love him?”
Nicolò ponders for a moment. “I do not think love is enough.”
Nicolò di Genova has lived a long life. He has much to show for it, but somehow still nothing at all.
This is Nicky's companion piece to 'Beautiful Ghosts'. 'Beautiful Ghosts' should be read first (but likely not imperative).

“We did kill each other a lot. That I know. I know because it’s a story we’ve told so many times.” He shrugs. “But I don't really remember anything before loving him.”
Nile pokes at the fire. “And you’ve loved him this whole time? Him alone?”

Summary
Nicolò di Genova was killed on one of the endless mornings of The Crusades, struck down by a scimitar. He woke again later that evening.
Yusuf al-Kaysani bled out hours later from wounds left by a sword. He woke again that next morning.
A person often meets his destiny on the road he chose to avoid it.
Alternatively, Nicky and Joe's second meeting was over 900 years too late. And neither one knows the other is immortal, or that they've already met.

Summary
"Wait, hold up a sec. So if you were around before them -- how old are you?"
The men all go quiet, and Nile wonders if she's just committed some kind of immortal faux pas. "It is irrelevant," Quỳnh finally says. "Old enough to know there is no point looking backwards."
"You're the oldest," Nile murmurs in awe. Older than the Crusades. How much older? A few hundred years more? A thousand?
"No," Nicky says quietly. "Not the oldest."
Canon-divergent AU. Five hundred years ago, they lost Andromache to the sea. Now Quỳnh leads the team, a new immortal just woke up, and some pharmaceutical company is getting a little too interested in their business.

Summary
“Why did you start drawing?” Nicky asks, as if the question had cost him some earlier shyness, and he has just decided he would rather pay than continue to owe.
“Because my hands were restless,” Joe says, not bothering to be clever. “Because I needed to tell the world it could not decide the shapes of things without me. Because it was the only way I knew to talk back to beauty and not be punished.”
Nicky exhales a small, rueful breath. “I started with a church,” he says. “Not because I believed. Because I liked the quiet. The way the light was something you could measure and also not measure.”
“You still like the quiet.”
“Yes,” Nicky says. “Though I am learning to like certain kinds of noise.”

Summary
"We are not anything to each other," Quỳnh repeats, three days later.
Andy pauses, still holding out a cup of mango juice. "I know," she says.
"Why, then?" Quỳnh asks. Her face is a little wind-burned, and she looks furious, all of a sudden.
Andy shrugs, because there's nothing else she can do. Her throat feels bare, despite the choker she's taken to wearing against that very feeling. "You're on my team," she says. "I'm not - I'm not saying you're mine. I know you're not."
OR: on the way to rescue the rest of their team, Andy and Quỳnh fall in love again.

"I saw the others left," Quỳnh says, and Andy's breath catches.
How long has Quỳnh been watching? How many times has Andy not seen her? How many times has she failed Quỳnh?
"Where did they go?" Quỳnh continues.
"Mission," Andy says. "I'm—"
She doesn't know how to say it.
"I always go first," she settles on. "And they keep throwing themselves in front of me."
OR: in which Andy stays behind while the team runs a mission, and she doesn't believe her eyes, at first, when Quỳnh finds her.

Summary
In the hours after the escape from Merrick, Nile adjusts to the reality of her new life.
Andy twists in her seat to glare backward, but surprisingly she’s not looking at Nile; she’s looking at Nicky.
“This is your fault,” she tells him.
Nicky blinks placidly, dried blood still spattered on his face. “I have done nothing.”
“You know what you did,” Andy says. “You’re contagious.” She points at Nile. “If you start saying everything happens for a reason, I'm not letting you speak to Nicky anymore. I’m not gonna have two of you giving me lectures about some higher calling.”

“Oh spirits,” Azula says, grinning widely. The Water Tribe is full of idiots. “You don’t want to marry Zuko, he’s useless. Also, he’s already engaged.”
“He is?” Yue blinks at her.
“Of course he is, he’s going to be the Fire Lord, he’s been engaged since he was twelve,” Azula says. A useless Fire Lord who she’s going to have to prop up, if not outright usurp, but Fire Lord all the same.
The things she does for this family, she swears.
