Summary
Marriage wasn’t something they’d talked about too much; Vash wasn’t even sure it would ever actually happen. It seemed silly to even plan it in his head in the first place. Part of him said to just be happy with what he had, fearing what would come of wanting a little bit more
Or: working on arrangements for weddings can, as one might expect, make you think about what your own might look like.

The voices may be different, but they’re all saying the same thing: millions lost, what a tragedy, we’re still mourning three years later, what kind of monster–

Summary
"Colt admittedly doesn't know much about Driver, but he does know that he's always on time. Obsessively so.
In all the movies they've worked on together, all the sets and shooting locations across the state and across the country, Driver is never late. He's usually precisely five minutes early, in fact — a fact it took Colt all too long to put together when he's rarely early enough to see Driver arrive.
[...] So, sure, Colt doesn't know much about Driver. Still doesn't even know his damn name. But he knows him, a bit. In some handful of ways.
And he immediately knows something is wrong when he arrives five minutes late to their call time and Driver isn't there."Driver's late to set for the first time ever. Colt finds out why when he sees the blood leaking from under Driver's jacket.

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.

Summary
“Go?” Rozanov repeats, and Shane thinks he manages to nod, thinks he manages to spin some kind of excuse that he knows Rozanov doesn’t really buy, but he needs to go. He needs to get out of here. He needs to find somewhere quiet and calm where he can ride out this panic and painful tightness until he can catch his breath again. He needs-
He needs to go.
“I’m sorry,” he says, turning heel and resisting the urge to just book it right for the front door only because he’d rather not have to explain to Hayden why he returned from a hookup with Boston Lily in men’s clothes that he certainly didn’t leave in.
It’s not until he makes it halfway up the stairs to Rozanov’s bedroom that it occurs to him in a cold rush that it isn’t just anxiety that makes it this hard to breathe.
“No,” he tells himself firmly, white knuckling the bannister and trying to take a deep breath just to prove that he can.
It wheezes.

Summary
Oh. He’s ducking under the covers, under Ilya’s shirt, crawling up until he’s fully inside it—head pillowed safely on Ilya’s chest. The love that rushes through Ilya feels catastrophic, and he chokes with it. “Shane,” his voice trembles. Ilya pulls him closer, always closer. “Shane.”
Shane makes a high, soft noise in his throat, burrowing deeper into Ilya—almost like he’s trying to crawl inside Ilya’s body. Ilya would let him, if it were possible. Would carve out a place for Shane within himself, offer it with his bruised and bloody palms. Here, all of this—is for you. Shane makes that noise again—soft, pleading, like a whine—and Ilya succumbs, is helpless to.
He recognises it for the wordless plea it is, and gives Shane exactly what he wants. “Shanebug,” Ilya says softly, and Shane melts into his chest, every last string holding him up cut. “I love you.”
—a nickname, and all the love that comes with it.
