    Summary

    When the long game falls apart, Shane and Ilya need a new plan.

    I recommend reading the series in order it was posted, even though the second fic is a prequel to the first one.

    Summary

    After a moment, Hayden pulls back. Then he hands her the phone—Shane’s phone.

    “I grabbed this when I was getting his stuff and I saw, well.”

    He looks away from Yuna, briefly glances at David, then looks away from him too. There’s an oddly guilty look on his face that has Yuna suspicious at once.

    “Um, has Shane told you guys about Lily?”

    --

    AKA, Yuna and David find out about Lily, Shane’s... girlfriend?, while he's in the hospital. It's a while before they find out about Ilya.

    Featuring:
    - high Shane
    - Ilya angst
    - theories about who Lily could be
    - Yuna & "Lily" texting
    - identity shenanigans

    Summary

    After the tuna melt meltdown, Shane meets Rose Landry, has several deeply inconvenient revelations, and decides to do the only sensible thing: win Ilya back with sincerity, logistics, and a frankly alarming amount of emotional effort.

    Ilya, meanwhile, mistakes every tender gesture for the kind prelude to an inevitable goodbye.

    Or: Shane is living in a romcom. Ilya is living in a Russian tragedy.

    Summary

    Ilya knows firsthand that the world isn’t comfortable. It’s loud, bright, demanding, a harsh place in direct opposition to everything he’s recently learned about autism.

    Is it so wrong that he wants Shane to feel safe here? To carve out a space where, even if only for a few hours, he doesn’t have to grin and bear anything? He can just be?

    Or: Ilya Rozanov has a lot of good ideas. Telling his fuck buddy that he should consider getting an autism diagnosis isn’t one of them.

    Summary

    For one, singular, blissful moment, nothing is wrong when Ilya wakes up.

    And then the bubble pops.

    With something less like a pinprick and more like a gunshot.

    --

    After Ilya is outed he has to deal with being the only openly queer player in the league, being Russian, and being in love with Hollander even after he ran away all at once. It sucks. He does it anyway.

    Summary

    When he looked up, Eddie’s eyes were bright, focused. He was a little flushed, and his shoulders were soft but his jaw was set. “I love you,” he said.
    “I love you, too, man,” Buck said. “But you know what I mean.”
    “I do know,” Eddie said. “Buck, I’m trying to tell you something.”

    Summary

    Buck knew the universe wasn’t really a huge fan of him. But this? This was a new low.

    The last two weeks of working with Eddie Diaz had been a special type of hell. Of course, while he’d been out of work nearly dying several times, Bobby had managed to replace him with the hottest, most competent probie that ever graduated the Academy. And of course, he hated Buck.

    Which was good, because Buck hated him right back.

    -----

    In a world where everyone's timing is just a little off, Buck and Eddie take a few more missteps on the way to finding each other.

    Summary

    “I have a bottle of champagne, four champagne flutes, one engagement ring to go into one of those champagne flutes, and a note to deliver it all to table 34 with dessert,” Tomas explains, wide-eyed, throwing his hand back to the prep station where said champagne is waiting on ice next to four flutes and a small ring box.

    “Okay?”

    “Okay so there’s two men and two women and I have no idea who’s getting proposed to. I’m not even 100% on who came with who."

    Summary

    Eddie’s gaze drop to Buck’s lips—pink, like his birthmark. Eddie wants to taste those lips, and he wants it with a fierceness so sudden it shocks him.

     

    “I’m, uh,” Buck stammers. “Last night. When you saw me and Tommy…we—we were on a date.”

     

    Everything inside Eddie goes still. If his heart is a kite, then this is the moment it plummets back to earth.

     

    or, Buck tells Eddie some news. Eddie has a realization and breaks up with his girlfriend. Not necessarily in that order.

    Summary

    “It’s just that I’ve never—” Jake stops, a chill running through him. The words fizzle out on the tip of his tongue even as his heart rate speeds up, his fight-or-flight response activated.

    “Never what?” Bradley’s forehead furrows, and Jake can almost hear the gears of his overactive brain working furiously. “Oh, with a guy?”

    Jake nods slowly, allowing the misconception for now. The truth is he’s never done this with anyone.

    Summary

    “I'm gay.”

    He's looking at his feet, because he hasn't quite come to terms with the fact that he's saying this in a room where other people, strangers, can hear it.

    But this is still the first time he's said it this way: out loud, in a declarative sentence. Being nervous is fine. Frank said that being nervous is fine, and Buck just said he's proud, and the only thought Eddie has in his head is that it's embarrassing he can't raise his head and say it like a man, so clearly, he's going to need to hang on to other people's words for the time being, someone who isn't his dad trying to explain the ways Eddie's allowed to inhabit the world.

    He doesn't need to ask anyone's permission to be who he is. That's also a thing Frank said.

    in which eddie attends a self-empowerment group for gbtq men to supplement his therapy, and is empowered to: forgive himself, say "i'm gay" to his own reflection in the mirror, accidentally adopt an adult, make fried rice, and tell his straight best friend that he's in love with him. not necessarily in that order.

    Summary

    “It’s also that I like sex,” is what he says instead, and hates how pathetic it sounds. “And it’s fun, but it’s like—unless it’s with someone really important, it’s kind of the same level as going to the movies?”

    Eddie smiles at him. Somehow, impossibly, it’s even softer than the last time, sweet at the edges.

    “What if it is with someone really important?” he asks, and squeezes, his fingers pressing into the hollows between the bones of Buck’s hand.

    or: buck picks up a pamphlet, has an existential crisis, and shows up at eddie's door, in that order.

    Summary

    This remarkable letter of unknown provenance surfaced recently in the cuneiform collection of the University of West Wessex. Addressed to Azirapil from a Mr. “Crawly,” it appears to be begging for the other’s return to Ur from a western journey with another individual, Abiraham. The relationship between the two (brothers? business partners? friends?) is unknown.
