Summary
So, in Russia, it is not Christmas yet. It is not yet a lot of things in Russia. That’s good, Ilya thinks. Maybe there, it’s still some earlier version of him. Maybe somewhere, in some parallel alignment of days and months, he is still the captain of the Boston Raiders. Maybe he hasn’t been traded yet. Maybe he hasn’t packed up his life and moved continents and switched languages. Maybe he’s still wearing familiar colors, still answering to a city that knows his name and chants it like it's both a prayer and a promise. Ilya. Ilya. Ilya. Maybe he hasn’t become a Centaur yet. Maybe the future has not yet caught up to Ilya Rozanov there.
--- Ilya spends his second Christmas in Shane's cottage, and contemplates the idea of home, grief, and what it means to speak a language.

Summary
“I’m going to suggest something that you won’t like.”
Gavin grinds his teeth, “That’s how most of our conversations go, tin man.”
Snow begins falling, slowly. It collects on the tops of Connor shoulders, hides in the dark strands of his hairs. Balances delicately on his eyelashes as he stares at Gavin. He’s tall, resolute, unwavering.
OR
The one where Captain Fowler gives Gavin an ultimatum: He can go to therapy and figure his shit out or hand over his badge. It's just Gavin's luck that as soon as his stubborn ass gives in and goes to a session, his life spins out of control. Featuring: being forced to partner with Hank Anderson and Connor on a major case affecting humans and androids, family that he doesn't want to talk to, asshole FBI agents, a stray cat that won't leave him alone, fighting with Connor, worrying about Connor and maybe, sort of, a little bit liking Connor.

Summary
Unemployment was not the best thing to ever happen to Connor, but it was high on the list. The best thing to ever happen to Connor was the sight of a Corgi wearing a small cowboy hat leashed to a post in front of the liquor shop. The second best thing to ever happen to him was the emancipation of his people from slavery and the opening of negotiations for equal rights. But unemployment may come in at a solid third.
