Summary
His first thought, when he finds her, is how much trouble he’s going to be in.
Ilya has seen movies where people press their fingers to dead bodies’ necks and say “no pulse”, but he isn’t really sure what they’re doing, so instead he just watches, waiting for her to breathe. He waits for a long time, her blonde hair splayed out like a halo on the tile.

Summary
The gunshot had been a little louder than you expected, and your aim a little better.
(Your vision thrashes with faces, viscera, her cut-off scream—then clears. She is there, splattered to the back wall. She was made of meat after all. In the kitchen, you hear the woman shushing the little girl’s wailing. You feel sick.)
—
Fic that goes the same course as a playthrough of the game! Mostly focuses on character dynamics/what we don’t see in the game.

Summary
Series of missing scenes
The news comes in the form of a knock on the door. Of downcast eyes, a solemn face, wringing hands. A quiet, concise explanation of what happened, why her father is lying by the stairs at this very moment, eyes unblinking and heart still. Why there is blood under Hamlet’s fingernails.
Ophelia would not say she takes it well.

Summary
“Are you…” Jon trails off, studying the Ringmaster, “Did you have…family?”
“I had family,” the Ringmaster answers.
“Did you—did you ever know someone named Tim?”
That was his name, the Ringmaster thinks. Tim.

Summary
“Willem,” Kaz lies. He almost says Jordie, before stopping himself. He cannot be a Rietveld around this man. His alias has proven too decipherable. “Willem Beekhof—from Stedelik.” The man nods to him.
“Jordan Rietveld.”A beat as the world shatters.
…Jordie?
OR
Yknow what this fandom already has in abundance and well and truly does not need another of? Jordie lives fics!! I present to you my take on it anyhow.

Summary
"Sveta," he says, before she can greet him. "I think I'm about to do something very stupid."
"You're always doing something stupid," she laughs, her voice tinny over the speakerphone. "What is it this time?"
"I am in a staring contest with a bottle of pills," Ilya says. "And I think the pills might win."

Summary
“Shane.” Ilya takes Shane’s head in his hands, squeezes his cheeks so that Shane looks puffy, absurd. Beloved. “I am saying that to me, even though you are retired, you will always be No. 1 hockey player. Fuck Wayne Gretzky.”
That’s what does it, as Ilya knew it would. Shane rears back, spluttering, outraged, trying not to laugh.
“Oh, I have committed blasphemy now. They will take back my citizenship, big crime, very sad.”
Shane smoothes his hands along Ilya’s calves, rests his fingertips on Ilya’s ankles. “Fuck Wayne Gretzky,” he says. He looks like he can’t believe what he’s saying. Ilya wonders, distantly, if he can get it on tape to play back to himself when things feel particularly bleak. “We can live in exile together. I don’t care. You’re my, my best, my second best hockey player forever too.”
--
Shane decides he has to retire. Ilya, of course, will go with him.

Summary
“No one else knows of these,” Ilya tells him, and there it is, that glint of possessiveness in Hollander’s eyes. It makes Ilya’s head reel. And it is why he doesn’t hesitate to say, “I could mark you just like that. If you want.”
“Would last longer than bruises,” Ilya continues. “Maybe forever.”
