    Summary

    Alex runs into Henry in Central Park three years after Henry broke his heart and disappeared from his life.
    Henry is barely recognizable—thinner, sicker, bald beneath a summer beanie, and on his way to another round of chemotherapy after spending more than a year battling neuroblastoma alone.
    Some things are too broken to fix. Some apologies come too late.
    But no one should have to face cancer alone.

    Summary

    The thing is, Hollander’s not a complainer. Not by any stretch of the imagination. Ilya’s seen him skate through cracked ribs, sprained ankles. Last season he finished a game with twenty stitches in his face, running on some unholy combination of willpower and sheer dedication. So if Hollander’s accepting the meds Ilya gives him, if he’s admitting that he’s in pain, if he’s telling Ilya that—

    Something might be actually fucking wrong with him. Ilya bites the inside of his cheek so hard he tastes blood.

    or; Shane gets sick, Ilya can't go with him to the hospital, and it's an awful time for everyone.

    Summary

    Ilya rubbed at his face with both hands, trying to knead the heaviness away. It didn’t budge.

    Probably just caught something from the kids, he thought to himself. Some kind of virus.

    Except he'd been feeling like this for weeks now. Maybe longer. It was hard to tell. The days blurred when you were tired, and he’d been tired for longer than he wanted to admit.

    Maybe it was something still lingering in his system. That happened sometimes, right? Viruses could hang around. He'd read that somewhere. Post-viral fatigue.

    Yeah. That was probably it.

    Some dormant virus still working its way out of him.

    Or,

    Ilya and Shane are married with kids, living the life they fought for. But Ilya's depression is rearing its ugly head again.
