Summary
Someone posts a photo of Shane looking very in love with Ilya after the first term of the Irina Foundation's hockey camp.
Ilya’s grinning, his head bowed towards Shane’s, his hand gripping the back of Shane’s neck. They’re in their kit on the ice.
Ilya's a little blurry, in motion, but Shane's not. It’s Shane’s face. It’s what his face is doing, it has to be. He’s ducked his head, but it’s still visible. He’s looking at Ilya. Shane’s never seen that look on his own face. He didn’t know it could do that. It’s soft and hungry. His eyes are hot. He’s melting under Ilya’s hand. It’s a smoking fucking gun. There’s a fragment of his love on his face, on Twitter.

Summary
“Shane,” Ilya groans as soon as the line connects. “I feel terrible.”
“Ilya,” Shane exasperates. “You worded that text message in the worst way possible. You gave me a heart attack. I’m almost glad you’re sick and not bailing for another reason.”
“I wouldn’t. I really wanted to come to your very expensive cottage on lake, but headache is too much and flying is probably no good for it,” Ilya says, and Shane can hear the sickness in his voice.
“How long have you felt sick?”
“I don’t know, got bad maybe two days ago?”
OR
Ilya cancels his trip to the cottage.
Shane flies to Boston instead. -

Summary
Shane and Ilya have done everything right, with years of waiting, planning, and hoping. After too many almosts and not-quites, they go to one more adoption event with no expectations.
But one quiet conversation—and one perfect baby—turn “maybe” into something a lot more dangerous: hope.
And hope, it turns out, has a way of asking for more than they expected.
(AKA: hurt/comfort, so much yearning, accidental family, angst with a payoff, and yes—a hard-won happy ending)
