    Summary

    What if Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander had the perfect beard?
    Lily-Jane Smith is just a normal girl living her quiet hermit life in a secluded corner of Montreal, running from a past she doesn’t talk about and minding her own business. She livestreams. She freelances. She avoids people.
    Then she befriends her landlord.
    Unfortunately, her landlord is Shane Hollander — NHL golden boy, walking media frenzy, and deeply closeted disaster.
    Now her peaceful routine includes sold-out arenas, terrible stadium poutine, icing bruises after intense games, and pretending to be the loving girlfriend of two hockey superstars while secretly covering for their very intense, very secret relationship with their biggest rival.
    Yes. That rivalry.
    It’s fine. She’s fine. They’re fine.
    It’s just a tiny lavender marriage situation.
    Minor complication: she may or may not have developed a massive crush on her best friend/fake boyfriend’s boyfriend’s teammate — who, for obvious reasons, thinks she’s dating said best friend’s boyfriend.
    Totally normal. Not messy at all.
    What could possibly go wrong?

    A few weeks after stabilizing the Circus and coming to terms with their permanent life there, the gang agrees to bring Caine back- on the condition that Kinger rewrites his code and removes his power over the world.

    Caine awakens to find himself on relatively equal footing with humans for the first time in his life. Can he learn to listen and understand them now that he's no longer bound to his program's original purpose? Will the humans ever be able to truly forgive him for everything he's done to them? Can anything truly change?

    Featuring Caine trying human things, found family bonding, and a healthy dose of angst while everyone processes their various traumas and learns to accept this new world they're making together. Or tries to, anyway.

    Summary

    "You're not dead," Pomni said with a frown. "Not yet, at least. You're just — indisposed."

    At that, Jax gave her a long look as his mouth narrowed out into a little line. Then he sighed quietly. It wasn't the way he used to sigh, with dramatic posturing that begged the attention from anyone even remotely listening. It was small. Tired. Reflexive. Then he sat down with his knees to his chest, glaring into the dark water. The only light here, a single streetlamp, glowed weakly.

    "Denial is an ugly color on you. Clashes with your stupid hat."

    "Jax — "

    "I'm gone," he snapped. His voice echoed in the abyss. "Don't you get it? No one comes back from Abstraction. You're not saving me, you're not helping me grow. All you're doing is keeping my body from rotting." Jax's hands worked their way up to his head, squeezing as he growled, "You're talking to a ghost."


    or, a post-canon fix-it fic, featuring the De-Abstraction of Jax. It's messy and it takes time, but it's never too late to try.
