    Summary

    The room tilted slightly, and Shane’s throat was raw.

    He swayed there a moment, scanning the spinning room for somewhere to steady himself – for Haas or Dykstra. Ilya had been right; he should have slowed down, stayed with his teammates. He hadn't listened, and now he was alone, 2 Moscow Mules and 3 shots deep, stuck at the bar and lost in a sea of people.

    Shane just wanted his husband. The alcohol hadn't yet done anything to alleviate the effects of the music and lights that encircled him. He felt trapped – suffocated – like his skin was fusing itself to his stiff muscles. The room spun faster, and the Canadian wasn't convinced he was standing upright anymore. His heart pounded in his ears as the music rattled his ribcage once more, an insatiable itch beckoning his blunt fingernails.

    He wanted to scream. He wanted to rip his hair out. He wanted to tear his clothes off.

    He wanted Ilya.

    “Selfish,” he muttered under his breath, tongue heavy as it touched his teeth.

    Summary

    “Did you think that was something that happens to everyone who fucks women?” Ilya asks, bewildered.

    “No,” Shane says again. “I… didn’t think it was that uncommon, I guess? Or that it makes you a complete idiot?”

    “Not uncommon? Who do you know that was getting women pregnant on accident?” Ilya questions. “Guys on Montreal? You know they are stupid. Oh my god, Pike,” Ilya laughs. “As much as I joked, I thought they were doing it on purpose! Or maybe most on purpose, just not first, or—”

    "Ilya, oh my god, Hayden didn’t have any kids by accident!” Shane groans, burying his face in his hands. “He wasn’t being irresponsible. He’s more responsible than me, I guess.”

    OR:

    Ilya learns that Shane got a girlfriend pregnant once. Which makes no fucking sense. Right?

    Summary

    Tony had been relaxing when Peter rushed in to tell him possibly the one thing he would have never expected to hear from the kid.

    Aka, I got my period, so I've decided to take it out on Peter by not giving him his.

    Summary

    Cardiac tamponade: pressure on that heart that prevents it from filling and beating adequately.

    Shane thought he knew two things: his move to Ottawa would cause chaos, and that the Ottawa Centaurs were nice.

    As it turned out, he only knew one of those things.

    (Or: the Cens are still a team of professional hockey players. They're going to fuck up.)

    Summary

    Shane doesn’t realize he’s braced for silent eyes until he feels the absence of it — the weight of teammates immediately finding him and going quiet, waiting for him to fuck up, to say the wrong thing, to exist wrong. He expects the chatter of a room to drop when he enters and its disconcerting to find it doesn't yet in Ottawa.

    He stands at the entrance a beat too long.

    --

    It’s the start of Shane Hollander’s first season in Ottawa and he should be settled. The Centaurs are friendly, the room is easy, and Ilya is finally close enough to touch. But, as Shane is intimately aware of, old habits learned the hard way will linger.

    Summary

    The bomb exploded, and Sherlock was kidnapped in the immediate aftermath of the Great Game. Moriarty has come up with a plan to discredit him, and it works perfectly: everyone believes that Sherlock wanted to have sex with Moriarty, and it's turned his life upside down. He doesn't fully understand what happened, and Moriarty is still out there - and he's making promises to come back.

    But now that John, Lestrade and Mycroft have found out the truth, they're going to do everything they can to protect Sherlock and give Moriarty what he deserves. The real question is whether or not they can ever make it up to Sherlock.

    Summary

    Shane’s thumb flicks through the MLH Snark subreddit like he always does after a rough game, looking for anything about him or his teammates.  Anything about a bad turnover, a missed shot — he can handle the jokes. He can handle the gifs. He can handle the memes.

    But he always had this deep concern that after a bad game, when all eyes were on him, and people were just searching for anything they could to turn people against him, he would find something about him and Ilya—he even had nightmares about it.

    So, he would doomscroll. Searching on Twitter or Reddit to see if they found anything. Tonight was no different, well, until he saw a newer post from a few hours ago.

    Summary

    welcome to my alive gabriel goodman au!

    everything's pretty similar to the n2n canon (with the london cast in mind), except that gabe survives. diana and dan managed to find doctors that caught the obstruction in time to save gabe's life, but not quick enough to leave him entirely unscatched. gabe struggles with chronic illness symptoms daily, including extreme abdominal pain, low blood pressure, headaches and migraines, dizziness, shakiness, etc. which in turn leads to the canon of natalie being left out by her parents often.

    natalie is born, not to replace gabe this time, and they're the best siblings. henry is still your lovable stoner. dan still struggles with ignoring gabe sometimes and dealing with his son. diana still struggles with bipolar.

    this will mostly just be a bunch of oneshots surrounding the characters in this universe! hope you enjoy <3

    Summary

    "Ilya had loved him through his worst moments. Ilya had helped him find a therapist when he’d collapsed on the floor of their hotel bathroom after losing a particularly brutal game, scratching at his chest. Ilya had held him, even when Shane yelled at him because there was panic crawling under his skin and he felt as though it might claw its way out. Ilya had told him it was okay; that it didn’t make him a bad player to resent the spotlight sometimes, that it didn’t make him a bad teammate to hate the team when they were too loud and too drunk and too physical, that it didn’t make him a bad person to need space to breathe. Ilya saved him.

    And look what you give him in return. You’re a shitty husband, Shane Hollander.

    You don’t deserve his last name."

    Summary

    Ilya’s hand wraps around his bare wrist and squeezes. Shane barely stops himself from collapsing to his knees.

    The pressure lights up every receptor of his touch-starved nervous system, wrenching a small, pained noise from the back of his throat. Every muted sensation comes flooding back so intensely that it almost hurts. He needs Ilya to hold him down until there’s nothing inside him but quiet. He wants to sink into him and disappear.

    It takes Shane an entire beat to remember where they are. Fighting against the fog in his mind, he manages to drag his gaze up to meet Ilya’s.

    There’s a slow-dawning horror and understanding on Ilya’s face.

    Or: Shane is in subdrop after their encounter in Vegas. Ilya fixes it.

    He closed his eyes and took a deep breath in, surrounding himself in nothing but Eddie. Steve was somewhere safe now. There wasn’t anyone here who wanted to cut him up or tear him down. It was just Eddie. Loving, sweet, wonderful, Eddie.

    Summary

    Alternate Title: let the sea take me and drown all my sorrows

     

    He’s sinking down, and down and down. His throat burns from the seawater aggravating the soreness of it. The water carries him down, or maybe that’s him. He doesn’t know. He lets the sea take him. Maybe she’ll give him the peace he’s never truly had. Maybe she’ll let him rest for once. So he drifts, throat choking and burning with tears, eyes focused on the dimming light above him. Maybe this was his fate all along - to be swept away by the sea to a place even his father can’t find him. And maybe, he’s okay with that. Maybe he can sleep now.

    Snippet "Tut, that manservant is useless, does he not tidy up my son's clothes? I don't why Arthur keeps him around."

    Uther was now standing in front of the very wardrobe they were both in now. And of course Arthur thought this the perfect time to reposition his arm to reach down and circle Merlin's weeping cock with a loose fist. The bastard. With head thudding silently back on the built shoulder did he feel a smirk pressing against his cheek.

    Uther sighed heavily nearby, "Bedsheets a mess too."
