    Summary

    And yeah, Shane knew that Ilya hadn’t been okay last time he was in Russia, but Ilya had had the very real excuse of a funeral to blame things on. Ilya had downplayed it as much as he could, and Shane hadn’t been there, he’d heard the fatigue and he’d seen Ilya’s tired smile, but he hadn’t felt the way Ilya’s hands were cold the entire time he was there, hadn’t seen through the screen the way Ilya dropped eight pounds in three weeks, hadn’t kept time when there were twenty hours in Ilya’s day instead of something closer to sixteen. Or, on the flip side, for the week or two after, when there had been approximately ten conscious hours in a day.

    It was one thing to see something. It was another to feel it in your hands.

    Ilya and Shane are so, so happy for their first year married. They’re playing in Ottawa together, they’re fucking winning, they’re together and out.

    So now, after a year, Ilya should be fine. He should be great. He should not be flinching at small noises or nearly punching people off the clock or feeling like he’s drowning whenever he’s not on the ice.

    Or: Ilya Rozanov, meet your PTSD.

    Summary

    By our stars and saving grace,
    save us from this deep dark place.

    When you've been in darkness for too long, you tend to grab onto the first light you see. Sometimes that light happens to be an alien from a society light-years away from your own, and he happens to be exactly what you were looking for all along.

    Summary

    “Let me ensure I understand correctly,” Yao counted slowly on his fingers.

    “Your oldest brother is an alcoholic private detective.”

    “Yeah.”

    “Your second brother killed your abusive father.”

    Grace nodded sleepily. “Self-defense mostly but yeah.”

    “Your third brother is in a committed relationship with a sex doll.”

    “Bianca is very nice

    Yao continued as though he had not heard that.

    “And your twin brother throws himself off buildings

    Grace thought about it. A very long exhausted pause. “…Yeah that about sums it up.”

    Silence again.

    Stratt looked at Yao.

    Yao looked at Stratt.

    The realization passed silently between them with horrifying clarity.

    So Grace—

    This exhausted, socially awkward, disaster of a scientist currently clinging to Eva Stratt like a drowning kitten—

    Was the normal one.

    God help them all.

    Stratt stared down at him for another second before one particular detail from earlier finally circled back around.

    “You slept with Tom Ryder.”

    Grace nodded against her shoulder.

    “Mmhm.”

    “The internationally famous actor.”

    “Yep.”

    “How?”

    Summary

    Since his not-so-graceful departure from his dream research, Ryland Grace had done what most 30-somethings do in the midst of a midlife crisis; attempt to perfect latte art.

    Unfortunately, Eva Stratt crushes that dream too.

    (Or; what if Grace became a barista instead of a teacher)
