    Summary

    With every part of him, Ilya had bewitched Shane; the chirping, the aggressive way he played, skating circles around everyone else but Shane, the incandescent way he seemed to glow with the reflection of the ice beneath their skates; everything about him made him weak, and at the same time, it made him stronger.

    Maybe that’s why, when everything settled between them, Shane started to settle too; his personality becoming more true to himself, more snippy, more petty. And most importantly, more protective of what was his.

    Summary

    Shane and Ilya already know each other’s bodies, habits, and scars. Yet, there are still things to be discovered in marriage. Music becomes the place where Shane still hides, and where Ilya realizes there are rooms in his husband's mind he hasn’t unlocked, not because Shane kept them secret, but because no one ever asked to listen.

    or; Shane Hollander's music choices and Ilya's discovery of Shane's autism and their shared experiences post-cannon.

    Summary

    Maybe if the video ended there, Shane thought, it would be okay. Okayish. Still incriminating. Still a fucking disaster. Still embarrassing, to have his breakup with this beautiful actress filmed and disseminated on Reddit of all fucking places, but not a nail in his coffin, burying him alive. But the video didn’t end there.

    “Can I ask if you’ve ever been with another guy?” she had to ask.

    And he, tears visible in his eyes, had to nod.

    Just once. Just a single nod.

    Why did he have to nod?

    “Have you ever told anyone that before?” He shook his head. “Was it different? With a guy?”

    “Of course.”

    Of course.

    “Was it better?”

    “Yes.”

    +++

    Shane’s conversation with Rose is secretly recorded. Months later, after the All-Star game and Ilya’s confession in Russian, the video gets leaked online. Shane is outed to the world while Ilya is in Russia, and must now finish the 2016-2017 season with the entire world in on his secret.

    Summary

    Distantly, he hears the Wolf snarling and grappling with the demogorgan.

    And then his blurry eyes pick up a third figure joining the fray.

    A familiar figure, armed with a crude spear, jabbing furiously at the demogorgan’s head.

    Steve’s head swims and he loses sight of anything after that, the sound of his rapidly-slowing heartbeat thudding in his ears.

    “Steve, you with me, big boy?”

    *****

    In the aftermath of Eddie’s death, of the gates opening, Steve is struggling. His bat bites refuse to heal, he can’t let go of Eddie’s bloodied vest, and his dreams are plagued by visions of Eddie, by the Upside Down, by a creature that stalks him through the night.

    Until one night, at the end of his tether, Steve returns to the Upside Down to search for the man he’d left behind.

    Summary

    When he boards the elevator he’s upset. By the time he leaves the elevator he’s angry, each reverberation of his feet hitting asphalt felt in the remaining bones and surgical grade titanium in his right leg, all the way up to his hip. It takes him less than sixty seconds to walk from the parking deck to the ambulance bay. Ten feet from the entrance, he sees Robby walk through the first set of doors, past Ahmad, and then through the second set of doors. His pulse roars in his ears, his heart pounding in his chest. For the first time in years, Jack Abbot feels something approximating rage, an emotion he has long assumed to be medicated out of him.

    His hands furl into fists.

    ++

    Robby commits the critical error of making Samira cry. Jack reacts.
