Summary
Jerusalem had fallen. Now, on top of the indignity of having to walk - walk! - to Alexandria to avoid getting shot out of the sky, Yusuf al-Kaysani has the double misfortune of being saddled with a filthy, empty-headed, exasperating Frank who doesn't even seem to know what his wings are for.
But after an explosion of temper reveals something about his enemy that Yusuf could never have fathomed in a thousand years, Yusuf finds himself looking at his companion in a whole new light. Suddenly tasked with helping Nicolo achieve a dream, an unexpected spark of compassion is born, that leads to forgiveness, to friendship, to all and more.
Every love story is a kind of dance.
Or - Yusuf and Nicolo live in a world where everyone has wings. It changes a lot about their world, and nothing about them.

Summary
Ilya has always been good at reading his husband, and as he replays that night in Vegas in his head, the heated look on Shane’s face, the moans and gasps and begs pulled from his lips, he is sure he hadn’t got it wrong.
But Ilya can’t reconcile his memory of that night with the look of fear on Shane’s face just a couple of hours ago.
Although Ilya hadn't meant to, it was almost the same setup; he had recreated Vegas in their own bedroom.
He was fully dressed, watching from a chair at a distance, as Shane lay on a large, empty bed entirely naked and gave Ilya a show.
Ilya feels sick at the thought that he was wrong that night, that Shane had hated it, hadn't wanted it, but went along with whatever Ilya had ordered.Or Ilya unintentionally recreates that night, Shane spooks a little at the memory of 'we didn't even kiss', and Ilya spirals completely.

Summary
So now they were heading to see Roz. Bood couldn’t lie and say he hadn’t pulled the A card for this hospital trip mostly to get to come and see Roz. No, not just Roz. Roz and his boyfriend. Roz and the honest-to-god motherfucking boyfriend that none of them had known that he’d had. Roz and the boyfriend he all but definitely moved to Ottawa for. Bood was over the fucking moon. There was no way in hell Rozanov was ever missing another barbecue.
A short sequel of sorts to 'Crashing' in which Bood and Dykstra make a trip to the hospital the day after Shane drives down to be with Ilya after the plane crash. Revelations, tenderness, and humour ensue.

Summary
Ilya liked Shane’s parents. He really did. David and Yuna Hollander were entirely devoted to their only child–maybe sometimes a bit intense, if not a little overbearing, in Yuna’s case–and their attentiveness had moulded him into a kind, hardworking, and thoughtful man. Truly, their son was a testament to the quality of both their character’s–Shane’s soft underbelly nurtured by his father’s patient tone and earnest gaze and his shrewdness and talent sharpened by his mother’s fierce mettle. Shane was the sum of his parent’s parts, yet entirely his own, and Ilya was very grateful to the tender, yet firm, hands that had shaped the man he loved. But right now, well, right now Ilya was not their biggest fan.
Jane:
My parents are going to be staying at my place after the game on Friday.Ilya missed Shane. Ilya really needed to have sex with Shane. Now the man's parents were in the way.
Or: Ilya is finally seeing Shane for the first time since their summer at the cottage but Shane's parents crash their first evening alone in weeks. Set during that agonising final season Ilya plays for Boston.
