“I was the one who found her. Read her letter out loud to her dead body. She mentioned you.”
“Me?” the youngest Buckley said, still confused about all this information all at once.
“Yeah, she said you're her kid’s dad,” the nurse replied abruptly.or: Evan Buckley finds out he has a daughter, and he builds the family he'd always dreamed of.

"So, my school is doing a presentation thing for Mother's Day. With dancing and cards and stuff. I was voted to make the starting and ending speech," he smiled shyly, still not looking at Buck.
"Wow, that must be special. How do you feel about it?" he asked, hoping against hope it's the right thing to say.
"It's good that they chose me. But it feels a bit weird, since my mom isn't going to be there to see it," he grimaced, and Buck was glad the kid wasn't looking, because he's sure his sad expression wouldn't be easily hidden. What to say to this boy who's experienced such loss at this young age?
"I'm sure she'll be watching, from wherever she is," he answered, and Chris nodded.
"I know, I know. But that's not my point," he gestured, suddenly agitated, then looked at Buck. "It feels unfair to have Dad go, since he gets all the Family Day and Father's Day cards and gifts and everything. So I want to know if you'd go. You know, to be my mom."
or the one where Christopher Diaz needs a mom, and Buck is the closest thing.

"Yeah, I never learned. Left home too early, and my mother didn't know either. You're the first to point it out, though," he added.
"I would like to think I know you quite well now, and I did notice," Stede replied, wanting to know what in Heaven would elicit such a furiously startled expression from his friend, but not being brave enough to ask. It was not the goal of this interaction, anyway. "I meant to mention it because I can teach you, if you'd like. Like we've been teaching each other fine things and pirate things."
"You'd do that?" Ed smiled, that excited smile he would give his co-captain, like he wouldn’t believe his luck.
For you? Anything, Stede thought. "Of course! We can start tomorrow if you'd like!" he said instead.Stede offers to teach Ed how to read and write. Despite all the words they learn, there are many left unsaid.

Summary
“Miss Knotwise, your assignment in Chronurgy magic and the inherent scrambling of timelines is back at your desk, properly graded. I would very much enjoy having some tea over it later, when you don’t seem quite so busy,” he eyed the closed books and rolled up scrolls of parchment around them. Sofia grinned.
“I’d love to do that, Professor Widogast! Maybe after the Feast, when I’m not so caught up on this project?” she asked, and he nodded. Narr knew that other people would be very much suspicious of his friend if she said something like that to them, but Professor Essek wasn’t prone to imagine people were doing something nice for him. Even after years and years of teaching and receiving various gifts from his students, he always had that surprised look of awe and pleasure every time they gave him something. Maybe that’s why giving him presents was so good.A bright young student at the Widogasts' Whistling Towers decided to give her Professors a Winter's Crest gift.

Summary
A frustrating experience during a battle causes Julien and Occtis to reassess the argument that they had outside Obrimus Manor.
“What the fuck was that?” Julien’s voice was loud and clear and, most of all, more furious than Occtis had ever heard it before.
He grimaced slightly, but he wasn’t the one being yelled at, not this time, so he decided to take a few steps away from the group to begin the process of re-summoning Pin, who’d been destroyed in the battle.
“What was what?” Thimble asked, and she sounded genuinely confused. Human-sized again, and Occtis had almost gotten used to that. “Kattigan saved your life back there. Why are you so angry about it?”
It was an odd little reminder that Thimble hadn’t been along during Occtis’s trip with Julien to the old empire. She didn’t know Julien, not really. She knew some version of him that he’d been before his father had been murdered, but she didn’t know him now.
“I didn’t need any help,” Julien said, and Occtis could see him glaring around at the others. “I was fine.”

Summary
Lily: Sorry, I didn’t get to say goodbye
Shane had found the message sweet despite his disappointment. Now it just feels… ominous.
That’s usually the point when Shane has to get out of bed and pace around his bedroom and remind himself that, if Ilya is ghosting him (he is not, he’s not, he’s not), then he is also ghosting the rest of the fucking world. Because that is the thing that truly, really, terrifies him.
No one has heard of Ilya Rozanov in nearly three weeks.
Shane hasn’t been getting much sleep lately.
Or:
After Tampa. Things between Shane and Ilya are finally starting to look stable… until Ilya drops off the face of the Earth with little warning. Shane spirals (a lot) and decides he’s going to find his man if it’s the last thing he does.

Summary
The airport looks like it always does. A sea of people oblivious to anything going on around them. Ilya is about to put his headphones over his ears when he sees something so familiar his brain almost doesn't register it. That is until he realizes that he's in fucking Moscow so this doesn't make any sense.
Because right there at the gate, spread out over several chairs, his duffle bag as a pillow, is the figure of Shane Hollander sleeping. The hood of his sweatshirt is up and he's wearing sunglasses, but Ilya would recognize the shape of Shane Hollander anywhere.
“Hollander?” he asks in shock, stepping closer.
Or, Shane shows up in Russia after learning Ilya's father died. Ilya did not ask him to do this. He just showed up. And now Ilya doesn't know what to do with himself. He proceeds to just go with it, and maybe listen to Shane for once.
Another song inspired fic, this time Ever the Same by Rob Thomas which I argue is underrated.

Summary
It’s a difficult concept for Shane to grasp, taking up space like that. Birthday parties are always so loud and demanding of everyone’s attention, and Shane doesn’t know how to handle it, always stressed that people don’t actually want to be there or are just patronising him. The idea that people want to get together to celebrate Shane, besides his parents and husband, is completely foreign to him. The idea that his hockey team would show up for his birthday is incomprehensible.
Or:
Two birthday wishes Shane makes, and how they come true (and one time Ilya threatens a bunch of ten-year-olds)
