    Summary

    Canada had given him his life as he knew it, but it had never felt one hundred percent comfortable, either. He missed Russia sometimes, but it didn’t have the thing that mattered most. Ilya had exactly one home, and it was this: his face pressed into a smooth chest, his head tucked under a strong jaw, with freckled arms wrapped around him and delicate fingers combing through his hair. Anywhere else was a temporary excursion.

    A treatise on second (and third) languages, homesickness, acceptance, Shane's struggle learning Russian, and the things people do when they care.

    Summary

    Raising an eyebrow, Win puts his phone down and gives Team his full attention. “I’m okay, really.” When Team doesn’t budge, he adds, “You don’t have to worry about that.”

    Team scowls. He has no idea how Win ever has the patience for this. “I know,” he says. Clearly too many people have already taken ‘you don’t have to’ as an indication that they shouldn’t.

    Win has an off day heading into their next competition; Team is learning how to take care of him.

    Summary

    The kid with blood pouring down his shins is not so far from the dog lonely enough that he thinks breaking his housetraining is worth it for the ten minutes of berating that come with it, the ten minutes of undivided, if reluctant, attention.

    Buck thinks, sometimes, that at least he wasn’t the kind of puppy that gets put in a sack and drowned at birth. He wasn’t always unwanted. And he isn’t anymore.

     

    or, evan “i love you like a dog” buckley has only ever known how to love like, well, a dog, but maybe eddie diaz is the kinda guy to give a flea-bitten mongrel a forever home

    Summary

    "Buck came to me concerned about his well-being," Bobby starts with a melancholic look, "we both thought that it would be best if he got away for a while to get the help he needs."

    Eddie can feel his chest start to tighten like it usually does before he's sent into a panic attack. Or maybe this time he actually is having a heart attack. He doesn't know.

    The only thing he does know is that Buck left. Buck left and he didn't even say goodbye.

    ~

    or the one where Buck leaves and Eddie breaks down.
