    Summary

    The morning Shane leaves to get groceries, Ilya tells him to be careful. It's raining.

    Shane doesn't make it back.

    In a place between what was and what comes next, he waits — because that's what you do when you've spent eleven years cataloguing every expression on a man's face and still managed to leave without saying the important things out loud.
    Ilya will find his way here eventually. He always finds his way.

    OR: a love story told in two parts — the morning that ends it, and the lobby where it doesn't.

    Summary

    I don’t remember how I died. Maybe that’s preferrable.

    Reborn as part of the Giles family, I followed in my uncle’s footsteps and join him in Sunnydale as a Watcher-In-Training. Scrambling to organise the Scoobie’s collective chaos in order to keep the stubborn kids alive, I find myself becoming part of something unexpected, and end up drawing the attention of a Billy Idol wannabe.

    Summary

    Trying to avoid ghosts from your own past, you accept the invitation that Charles Xavier offered you years before and come to teach at the Xavier Institute. It's a safe haven, and you find yourself falling into a comfortable routine where you get to help kids better themselves while also getting yourself back under control.

    And then Logan, a man with a rugged exterior and even rougher personality, saunters into the picture and threatens to flip your peaceful life on its head.

    Will you find that he's what you've been missing this whole time, or will being around him lead to more trouble than it's worth?
