    Summary

    Shane gets drunk after his second Stanley Cup win. Piecing together the night before (a park, a club, and a tattoo shop) is very difficult for him to do.

    Ilya helps him remember.

    (In which: Shane gets Ilya's number tattooed on him.)

    Summary

    Ilya knows firsthand that the world isn’t comfortable. It’s loud, bright, demanding, a harsh place in direct opposition to everything he’s recently learned about autism.

    Is it so wrong that he wants Shane to feel safe here? To carve out a space where, even if only for a few hours, he doesn’t have to grin and bear anything? He can just be?

    Or: Ilya Rozanov has a lot of good ideas. Telling his fuck buddy that he should consider getting an autism diagnosis isn’t one of them.

    Summary

    Hayden wants it on the record that this is completely and totally, without question, Shane’s fault.

    or, 5 times a FitBit gave Hayden some data, and 1 time he crunched the numbers on his own.

    Summary

    “So, when do you think you two will be ready to have kids?” Yuna asks. She lifts her eyebrows while taking a sip of her wine and glances between them.

    Shane’s muscles tense instantaneously. He fights the urge to spit out the water he has just taken a drink of, and instead swallows it down.

    “Mom,” he mutters, shaking his head ever so slightly in warning. No. Please don’t.

    She’s not even asking if they will have children, but when. Because the fact that they will seems like a foregone conclusion to his mother. And why wouldn’t it when she’s implied for years that she expects grandchildren, and Shane is her only child?

    Summary

    Ilya doesn’t even realize when Arthur slips from his thoughts. There’s no sharp turn, no clear moment where the article stops being about a little boy who loves reptiles and starts being about the man lying beside him in bed. It just… happens. The way his mind always seems to find Shane eventually, like water finding its lowest point.
