    Summary

    “я тебя люблю,” Shane said softly, basking in pride at what he knew was near-perfect pronunciation. 

    I love you. Saying it felt more natural than breathing. 

    Ilya groaned and tugged Shane close for a fierce kiss. 

    “Do not speak Russian to me right now or we will never go to this party,” Ilya threatened against Shane’s lips. “And I promised Dykstra’s daughter I’d destroy her in foosball."

    Summary

    “I want one day,” Shane interrupted Ilya’s inner meltdown with, really, the only acceptable response. “And then we can…” Shane trailed off. “Then we can, I don’t know. Reset.”

    “Reset,” Ilya repeated, unconvinced.

    “Yeah.”

    It was another few moments of stunned silence before Ilya spoke again.

    “We could go somewhere.”

    Summary

    “Wait, Mr. Raiders fan,” Rozanov calls.

    Constable Sullivan pauses.

    “I get a phone call, yes?”

    “Sure.” He pulls out his own phone. “Do you know the number?”

    Rozanov nods. The numbers all come out in a rush, as though he’s memorized it in one long string and can’t think of any of them separately.

    It’s a Montreal area code, the constable notes, as he types it in. As the phone rings, he puts it on speaker and asks Rozanov: “Who is it?”

    “Shane Hollander.”

    “Fuck off. Who is it really?”

    Or: in the midst of the Rose breakup, the Raiders win a game in Montreal. Unable to do what he normally does after Montreal games, Ilya goes out to a club, gets super drunk, and ends up getting picked up by Montreal police for public intoxication. Sitting in a holding cell, the only number he can remember is Shane's.

    Summary

    There’s a muffled shout from next door. And another. Hollander, Luca thinks, and then wishes he hadn’t been able to tell.

    Even his earbuds don’t completely drown out the noises, the steady thump of a headboard against the wall. Rozanov groans, followed by Hollander-

    Luca turns the volume up higher as he scrolls through TikToks his little sister has sent him.

    Summary

     

     

    “Jackie?” Shane’s question cuts through the silence, and Jackie winces at the frantic rasp of his voice.

    “Right here, honey.” She tries to keep her voice light, wrapping her hand around Hayden’s wrist and meeting his worried gaze over the phone. “What’s going on?”

    “I need your help.” Shane croaks out. “They called, but they won’t - I need to know if he’s okay, but they won’t tell me.” The end of his sentence disappears in something so close to a sob it makes something in Jackie’s chest freeze over.
