    Summary

    "You seem lighter.”

    “I am. Thank you.”

    “Mm,” Gabin yawns so wide his jaw clicks, “do not thank me for this. I love this. I would do this forever.”

    Tobias breathes in the scent of the shampoo that has become theirs. He might like to do this forever too.

    Or, Gabin, Tobias, and Cheyenne in the same city.

    Summary

    “Fjord’s trying to break himself off a piece of crazy pirate ass, meanwhile, she wants to know if mouth-to-mouth resuscitation counts as her first kiss. What else was I supposed to say?”

    Caleb doesn’t blame Nott. He is intimately familiar with the way words inexplicably seem to soften themselves before they reach Jester Lavorre’s ears.

    -

    In the aftermath of her first kiss (??), Jester seeks answers to her boy problems. Caleb finds himself more invested in the situation than anticipated.

    A brief rewrite/extension of their conversation in the Bloated Cup from C2x42.

    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

    "We're setting you up with a billet situation," Fletcher continued. "It's pretty common for first-year players, especially international guys. Gives you a chance to settle in, learn the city, have someone looking out for you."

    "Okay," Ilya said slowly, not entirely sure what a billet was, but not wanting to admit his ignorance.

     He could guess from the context – he’d heard of rookies being assigned to live with older single players, veterans who could show them the ropes. Maybe that was what Fletcher meant. Connors maybe, he was probably a handful of years older than Ilya. Or perhaps Becker. Ilya just hoped it was someone who–

    "You'll be staying with Nikolai Petrov and his family."

    The words hit Ilya like a punch to the gut. For a moment, he forgot how to breathe.

    "Petrov?" he managed, his voice coming out strangled.
    __________________________________________________________________

    The Bears decide that Ilya should be set up with a billet for his first season. The idea of spending a year living with a man that Ilya is sure hates him is completely terrifying. And yet, it ends up being the best thing to ever happen to him.
