    Summary

    Alright. Okay. He’s doing this. If he thinks about it, there could be worse places to come out than in a room full of people ready to scold him for a perceived use of a slur.
    ---
    Or: Ilya comes out to the Raiders. It takes Cliff Marlow some time, and many questions, but eventually he puts two and two together.

    Summary

    When Shane starts the document, it makes sense to him.

    Later on, when it’s published onto a hundred different gossip sites with hundreds of comments dissecting every word, it looks insane.

    It starts because Shane has no one to talk to about everything. He’s never even kept a journal. He balks at the thought of getting a therapist. It’s not like he’s going to risk writing it down physically for someone to find. The only logical way that Shane can think of to deal with his feelings is to open up a blank Google Docs page and start writing.

    or Shane decides to write down all his feelings instead of talking to Ilya. After years of writing about their relationship, the entire document gets leaked online.

    Summary

    “Is captain's job to overcome all… factors. He got too full of himself. Never reached his real potential. Is shameful.”

    Okay, this is bullshit. Shane shoots Ilya a look, and the fucker won't still look at him. He also doesn't react to Grigori's words like he's heard them before. Well Shane hasn't and he has a few points he'd like to make. He fucking done being polite. Because what the fuck?

    “Respectfully, I disagree,” says Shane and instantly feels four pairs of eyes on him.

    Or, when Shane meets Ilya's father at an event and hears him shittalk his son, he has a few things to say about it.

    Summary

    They had so many years of love and joy, so many tender, vulnerable moments that they were never allowed to capture - never allowed to keep.

    “We don’t have any pictures together, Ilya,” Shane repeats, his voice frantic and desperate and almost pleading. “We’ve loved each other for a decade and all we have to show for it is-“

    “-us, Shane. We have us to show for it. Our life, our love, our home that we have built together.”

    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.”

    or, what if Shane decided to stay, that night… and then decided to miss his flight home the next day.
