    Summary

    Yuna Hollander has spent a lifetime hiding her fear behind competence. From Shane’s childhood to his rise as an NHL star, she has carried anxiety so he wouldn’t have to.
    Until one unplanned moment forces her to confront the limits of planning, the weight of anxiety passed down through generations, and the quiet courage it takes to let her son live his own life.

    Or: Shane's anxiety came from Yuna. What if Yuna went to the cottage instead of David?

    One of the most beautiful Yuna fic, about a mother's love, about anxiety, about what we can control and what we can let go of.

    Summary

    “Who’s got you blushing like that, Shane Hollander?”

    Shane’s gaze shoots up and his brain short-circuits, going completely blank with any good answer other than the truth – Ilya Rozanov makes me giggle like a lovesick fool. Shit.

    “Uhh, my mom?” Terrible answer. What the fuck, Hollander?

    “You’re a terrible liar, my friend,” Rose points out as she smirks and watches him carefully.

    OR, Shane comes clean about his relationship with Ilya to Rose Landry.

    Summary

    When Roz starts speaking, frantically letting out Russian words from his hospital bed, Troy jumps in fear. “Ty emu uzhe pozvonila? Gde mama?

    While Troy might not know Russian, or any other Slavic language that might have offered him some sort of context, he understands the word for mother. His heart clenches in his chest. Calling for your mom, especially when you’re hurt and confused feels instinctive. Troy is pretty sure he’d do the same thing. But the thought of coming out of your dazed state while desperately wanting your mom, and the loss of your mom coming crashing down on you must be a different type of agony.

    Roz starts speaking again, Russian coming to him easier than English must. “Mama? Gde moya mama?

    Summary

    Yuna could not have predicted she’d be sitting beside Ilya Rozanov in the warm breeze of a July evening, tucked behind the rock wall in Shane’s cottage backyard, grass tickling the backs of their legs. He wasn’t what she had expected. Quieter. Every bit as gorgeous as the TV screens sold him to be, and then some—baked into crooked grins and lopsided curls and sun-kissed skin and tilted accent. Beneath it all, a well. Too much, spilling over. She could see why her son fell so hard.

    In other words: Ilya and Yuna have a conversation when the Hollander family meets for dinner the day after Shane comes out.

    Summary

    If there’s ever been any doubt in his mind just how much Shane loves this man, it vanishes with the glossy blankness of Ilya’s expression. Blood from a stone indeed.

    “My father was very fair,” Ilya says immediately, and it’s got the rigid, almost mechanical emphasis of something practiced a thousand times. “If I was bad, I pay price. No problem.”

    “I think maybe we have a different definition of the word fair.”

    “Yes,” Ilya admits. “Probably. Shane thinks so.”

    He loved the idea of them being his family after years of having none, and he wanted to make them happy, so he added second, third and fourth presents for each and every Hollander into his cart, and felt better and better with every next swipe of his card.

    or, a little peek into the first Christmas Ilya spends with Hollanders.

    “How did you know that’s what I was thinking?” He asks, stroking the side of Jet’s face with his less occupied hand.

    ”Because it’s what I was thinking, and we know each other very well,” Jet replies, like it’s obvious, like it’s a fact. It should be a strange thought, because they’ve only known each other a few months now, at least in these bodies and in this life, but it isn’t strange at all.

    Summary

    For someone who claimed not to have been astride a horse for a while, she mounted it easily and followed Meng Zhi straight out of the palace grounds with no issues, which further confirmed his suspicions of her being a western barbarian. She had probably been born on a horse, he heard they did things like that out there. Strange that Prince Jing would trust someone like that with Mei Changs—Lin Shu’s life.

    ~or~

    Meng Zhi is given a special assignment and as usual has NO IDEA what is going on.

    “Are you hoping to commune with the heavens by flying this bird-shaped contraption into the sky?” Yan Wushi went on, “If you are seeking divine wisdom, A-Qiao, then there are far more efficient ways than this.”

    That finally earned him a look.

    “It is not about communing with the heavens,” Shen Qiao said lightly. “It is a simple, joyful pastime.” He worked through the last knot, straightened the string, then lifted the kite slightly to examine it. Satisfied, he added, almost as an afterthought, “Have you ever flown a kite before?”

    Summary

    "Where you see chaos, I see peace. Where you seek strength, I seek understanding. Perhaps that is why we balance each other."

    "Perhaps," Yan Wushi hummed thoughtfully, his gaze flickering over Shen Qiao’s face. "Or perhaps my venerable self simply enjoys your company, despite all your maddening ideals."

    Shen Qiao laughed lightly at that, his voice as soft as the breeze. "And I enjoy your company, despite all your mischief."

    With a faux-serious face, Yan Wushi turned fully towards Shen Qiao. "A-Qiao, I do believe that is the closest you have come to admitting you enjoy my presence. Should I mark this day on the calendar?"

    Summary

    “I like this one.” Caitlyn hummed and Vi was going to have to sell the building and move the shop somewhere else. Another country maybe. Because her new neighbour was too much altogether, too gorgeous, too tattooed, and that accent.

     

    But instead, Vi grinned, praying to any god out there that she was acting relatively normally. “Then it’s yours.”

     

    Caitlyn’s eyes flashed to her in surprise. “Oh! I couldn’t possibly!”

     

    Vi shook her head self consciously as she placed the leafy pothos in Caitlyn’s hands. “‘Course you can, Cupcake.” She said, smiling wider at the scrunch of Caitlyn’s nose. “I was going to drop one over anyways, you know, as a little housewarming present.” She scratched the back of her neck. “Or shop-warming, I guess. But either way, now at least I know you’ll actually like it.”

     

    A soft flush bloomed across Caitlyn’s cheeks and Vi was a goner. “Also,” She tacked on, “It’s an apology in advance, because my little sister is gonna be up your ass asking for an apprenticeship. This is your official warning.

     

    OR

    Vi is a florist. Caitlyn opens a tattoo studio right next door.

    “I’m always amazed at how you’re not kidnapped or dead in a ditch. Your luck is almost annoying.”

     

    “What can I say?” Vi grinned with that casual leaning shrug. “God is a woman, and She thinks I’m hot.”

     

    Vi and Cait are coworkers on the second season of their hit show. Their characters onscreen have great chemistry and are popular with fans, but the actors themselves? Barely get along.

    Summary

    Caitlyn is reminded of a story her mother told her as a girl, of a siren trading her voice for the life of her lover.

    Time and time again, Violet has traded her life and happiness for others. She placed her heart in the hands of those she loved and could do nothing but watch as those she trusted squeezed it into atrophy. Caitlyn had done it herself: stomped on Violet’s vulnerable heart without a second glance and left her to bleed out. It’s not something she thinks she’ll ever be able to forgive herself for.

    But she won’t make the same mistake twice.

    “Houston, do you copy?”

    Caitlyn panicked, feeling extraordinarily unprepared having been thrust into her new position without so much as even a handbook to consult. What were the formalities? What was she supposed to respond with? Where was the damn push to talk button…

    “Hellooo? I said Houston, do you copy?”

    Caitlyn fiddled with her headset, having finally found the green button on the side and hastily letting out a rather breathless reply. “Um, yes. Hello? This is Houston. I copy.”

    There was a long pause in which Caitlyn sat twiddling her thumbs, anxiety pushing the frantic pulse of her heartbeat through her eardrums. Was that wrong? Did she already fuck up? She took a steady deep breath, finger hovering over the talk button until the familiar voice of the astronaut came through her headset once more.

    “Damn, Houston. I didn’t expect you to sound so sexy.”

    OR

    Caitlyn has been assigned as the personal capcom to one of the astronauts currently on a year long expedition at the international space station. Cue long months of pining and desperate longing.

    Summary

    “For someone who claims not to like thinking,” Edwin says, raising an eyebrow, “you do a remarkably good job of it.”

    Charles laughs. “Tell that to my old teachers, mate.”

    “If they disagree, then they can’t be very qualified.” Edwin says this simply, like it’s just a fact of life. Like it’s plainly obvious that if anyone thinks Charles is stupid, it’s they who are at fault.

    Or: Charles grew up poor and is likely to stay that away, his job at the magic store notwithstanding. By the time he meets Edwin, he's decided that he wants a new life. In between figuring out what's up with the mysterious wish-granting pigeons, and whether he can go to the Royal Ball, Edwin makes him want to take a chance on being happy as well.
