Summary
“ Fuck you.” Ronan spits, and Parrish laughs; it rumbles the ground below them.
“ Do you believe in magic?” Ronan finds himself saying, and then he wakes up.
He wakes up to the sun shining through his window, not unlike the bright light from his dreams, and he turns over in his bed to catch the time from his alarm clock. It reads 10 am, and Ronan just then realizes that this meant that for the first time in months, he had slept through the whole night.
_Ronan Lynch and Adam Parrish discover that the only cure for their insomnia is each other.

That is the question, isn’t it?

“ It just seems that you’re a bit…” Lupin tilts his head a bit, and glances down at Sirius’s dirty face, his soiled uniform,- “ -Stretched a bit thin.”
“ ‘You saying that I’m a bad parent?”
“ No! Not bad maybe a bit… unqualified?” He says like it’s better. He smiles at Sirius, his heart beats fast again and he can’t tell if it’s because of anger or because of something else.

Summary
"Ilya had loved him through his worst moments. Ilya had helped him find a therapist when he’d collapsed on the floor of their hotel bathroom after losing a particularly brutal game, scratching at his chest. Ilya had held him, even when Shane yelled at him because there was panic crawling under his skin and he felt as though it might claw its way out. Ilya had told him it was okay; that it didn’t make him a bad player to resent the spotlight sometimes, that it didn’t make him a bad teammate to hate the team when they were too loud and too drunk and too physical, that it didn’t make him a bad person to need space to breathe. Ilya saved him.
And look what you give him in return. You’re a shitty husband, Shane Hollander.
You don’t deserve his last name."

Summary
Ilya is sipping a cappuccino and watching Shane do very perverted yoga when he realizes that he doesn’t want to die.
It’s a dumb series of thoughts. He sees Shane bend over, neatly folding himself into a hunchback as his hands flatten by his feet, and Ilya thinks, I bet he’s going to love it when we’re old and grey and he can outrace me with my stupid hip replacement. And then he realizes that not only does he anticipate being old and grey enough to need a hip replacement, but that he actually wants to get there.

Or: the existential crisis that happens when you’ve been depressed your whole life and then realize, suddenly, in your thirties, that you’re happy enough with your life that you no longer want to die.

Ilya died, yes, but then the doctors saved him. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the ambulance, three electric shocks, two emergency surgeries, twenty-six units of blood. Ilya died, but then he came back.
If only Shane could get his subconscious to understand that.

Summary
“So,” Shane said, after another minute. “Welcome to Montreal.”
Ilya just started laughing, his body shaking against Shane’s.
“Do not tell me you prepare for all your home games this way,” he said.
“I shouldn’t have prepared for any home games this way,” Shane said, glancing at the clock by the bed. He should go, but he couldn’t make himself.
There's a year between the ending and the epilogue of Heated Rivalry. This is it.
