    Summary

    Ilya wasn’t a planner. He was a river running downhill: fast, loose, ready to bounce and bend at any rock or gully. Or sometimes he enjoyed pouring himself into the containment of other structures set up for him: hockey star, playboy, Russian menace, goon. In all cases he was liquid, malleable, and chaotic.  

    Weak and disorganized, his father had said. Adaptable and resilient, his mother had countered. She never defended such insults for herself.

    But he was about to have twelve hours alone with Shane, and he didn’t want to waste a minute of it. So, he had planned a little.

    __________________________________________________________________________
    OR

    Two weeks after the Boston jail incident they're finally going to see each other in person at All-Stars and spend the night together. They're hoping and pining and planning things, which they'll both definitely be very normal about and communicate effectively.

    Best read after 'Phone Call from a Boston Jail' and 'The Fruit Basket' (canon-divergent AU)

    Summary

    “I did something stupid,” Shane confesses, inhaling rapidly. He's still crying, still frozen in the doorway, besides his hitching chest and watering eyes. Hayden's never seen him like this, overtaken with emotion, bitter exhaustion in his voice. He makes a soft choked noise, and Hayden immediately wants to kill something, whatever it is that's making him feel so awful. “I—Hayds—you're gonna hate me—”

    “No,” Hayden says before he can even finish the thought, almost hurt by the accusation. “No way. You're—I wouldn't. I won't.”

    Shane sniffs, offering him a sad smile, his eyes watery and solemn. It's an unfamiliar look, burnt through with sorrow and twisting doubt, sharp worry in the furrow of his brow. “You are,” he says, soft and certain. “I do, and I'm the one who's doing it.”

    OR: Shane returns to the hotel room, post-tuna melt. Hayden spirals.

    Summary

    “You can crash here for the night, you know,” Sam says. “I don’t hate you enough to send you all the way back to Brooklyn in the rain.”

    "Queens," Bucky says. Sam quirks his head. "Looked for a place in Brooklyn, but I couldn’t afford anything there without Steve."

    "I don't hate you enough to send you back to Queens, then. Get comfy or don’t, up to you.”

    “Thanks,” Bucky says, and his smile is so soft it almost reminds Sam of-

    Nope. Not going there, not today, not ever. Sam brings out some soft goods, puts a Motown mix too loud on his headphones, and deep-cleans the kitchen while Bucky makes up the couch.

    Or: The one where two veterans on the run from their issues come crashing headfirst into each other.
