Summary
“I used to be so mad that she was gone sometimes, but it’s okay. I forgive her. I would forgive her every time.”
Something in Yuna’s eyes fractures, like a bird bone under the sole of a shoe. “Your mother is very lucky, then.”
“Yuna,” Ilya says, and he tries very hard to not look at Shane, to not see the unforgiving, enduring hurt in his eyes when he looks over at his mother, so far away from her that he can’t come home, even though he desperately wants to. He looks at Yuna instead, and somehow, even as he braces against the ice-cold concrete and lets the sound of the whistling wind settle in his ears and has been looking at her for a long time now, he finds himself entirely unprepared for familiar Yuna’s eyes will be when she turns her gaze from the distant streetlamp to him. “You’re very lucky too.”
Shane Hollander is a ghost with a comatose body that won't work, unable to move on because his mom won't come visit him. Ilya Rozanov is the only person who can see and hear him, and against all odds, this is still a love story.

sic parvis magna by drkr2pnt0

Summary
SIC PARVIS MAGNA - Greatness from small beginnings (Sir Francis Drake).
—
Ilya has always survived by thinking his way through pain: dissecting it, categorizing it, turning it into something manageable, learning how to make himself smaller.
Being with Shane gives him something steady to hold onto, and something terrifying to lose. As the future takes shape, and the life they are building begins to feel real in a way that unsettles him, the familiar dread that he's not built to sustain something so bright crystallizes, and Ilya can't stop the quiet certainty that something inside him will eventually collapse under the weight of it all. That the beautiful life Shane deserves — bright and stable; soft and permanent; full of soft mornings and loud kitchens and children who never learn to be afraid of love — might be better off without him in it. That the heavy thoughts he feels every night might just be impossible to overcome.
That maybe, just maybe, love alone won't save him.
Part 1 - It doesn't. / Part 2 - It doesn’t have to.
