    Summary

    “What is there to talk about?”

    “What’s there to talk about?!” Hollander scoffed, shaking his head. “You’re playing for my fucking team!”

    “I know.”

    “Why did you have to go and get traded?! You realise we’re going to have to see each other every day from now on, and play together, and-”

    “Yes,” Ilya interrupted. He didn’t want to know how long Hollander’s list was. “I know.”

    Hollander took a deep breath. “Okay, listen,” he said. “Just so we’re clear - we don’t know each other outside of playing against each other, right?”

    “Right.”

    “And we can’t- can’t hook up anymore.”

    ~

    OR: Ilya gets traded to Montreal in October 2014. He's lonely, and angry, and he misses Boston. He doesn't know if it helps that Hollander is there or not.

    Summary

    Ryan is thanking every deity he can think of for his competitive streak, because otherwise, he would've lost his fine motor skills the second Chad checked him out, muscle memory be damned.

    "I Don't Dance" was my gay awakening 7 years too soon to realize it. Canon was a coward and didn't make them official so here's some decade-late wish fulfillment.

    Summary

    The members of the Umbrella Academy all eventually walk out of its doors and never return. In doing so, they knowingly save themselves, and unknowingly save the world.

    Now featuring Ben's grandma- because she is awesome.

    AU where all the siblings (and Grace) leave the Umbrella Academy one by one, but do different things with their lives than they did in the original timeline. And because of that, the Apocalypse never comes to pass, and everyone lives a (more or less) happy life.
