    Summary

    After ignoring his phone in favor of getting split in two by his situationship, Shane is stranded in Boston at the start of the zombie apocalypse.

    Ilya is left with nowhere to go, and Shane refuses to leave him behind. In order to survive, they have to cross the Canadian border and get to the cottage, together.

    But getting to Canada is far easier said than done. When Ilya is badly injured, their road-trip becomes a race against the dead—and the infection spreading through Ilya’s leg.

    Summary

    This time, it’s surprisingly Hayden that saves him. “Babe, don’t bother,” he tells Jackie. “Shane is staying in Montreal. He says it’s for business, but I don’t think so.”

    Shit, had he been so transparent this morning?

    “Look, maybe I met someone, alright?” he says, regretting it the moment he does. Jackie is smiling way too brightly. Hayden is grinning like Shane just scored three goals and he assisted all three.

    “What someone?” Jackie asks. “Do you have a picture of them?”

    Oh, she’d be so surprised if he found a picture of Ilya Rozanov and showed it to her. The thought in itself is enough to make Shane horribly nervous.

    Shane got the number from a man he finds attractive. Now that the ball is in his court, he needs to gather the courage to do something about it. Maybe. Hopefully.

    Or: part two of the tattoo artist Ilya AU.

    Summary

    He only realizes he’s doing it when it’s too late to stop.

    He’s standing in the drink aisle of the grocery store, checking the expiration dates on the cans of Coke, mentally cross-checking them with Boston’s away game schedule, and the reality hits him like someone shook one of those cans and popped it open. A snap. A fizz. A mess.

    Shane is making space for Ilya.
