Summary
Ray swallows, flounders for a second. “I don’t wanna overstep,” he says, then cringes at the look on Pete’s face.
“Overstep?” Pete’s reeling and Ray's hands splay so Pete doesn’t fall backwards. “Ray, you could never—"
“No, no,” Ray tries reversing course, fingers flexing against Pete’s spine. “I just…I didn’t wanna assume—or maybe assume’s not the right word—I didn’t think—you were so sad, Pete, and I—“
Pete’s looking at Ray like he’s grown three heads, like he’s gone honest to God, batshit crazy.
“You were hurtin’, Pete, so bad, and I didn’t wanna act like everything was fine.” Ray pauses for a moment before meekly adding, “And you deserve space from me if you want it.”
or
Ray still feels guilty after their fight. Pete just wants them to be okay.

Summary
“I don’t wanna get in the way of your family,” Pete says, eyes dropping.
Ray feels his heart fracture. “Baby,” he pleads, trying out the endearment Pete uses for him. The word ungracefully tumbles off his tongue, but the hitching of Pete’s breath lets Ray know that it lands all the same. “You are family.”
or
Mama Garraty gets sick, Ray spirals, and Pete doubts.

Summary
Two weeks before the assassination, things had settled into an odd state of normalcy. Xavier was distant and composed as always, Cal was drinking enough to keep himself numb. It's how things were.

Summary
Later, he would speak with Makkari, trusting his hands to stay steady as his heart rolled off of his fingertips and into her mind. He would shower her with adoration and praise, and keep his eyes fixed on her all evening only to know how it would end up. Makkari would give him a smile and a gentle kiss on the cheek before speeding off to another continent, leaving nothing but a mess of emotions and an ocean between them.
or
Druig’s pining and Makkari’s obliviousness.

Summary
'My love,' she signed with shaking hands, 'I’m so sorry.'
Druig leaned forward as she backed out of his reach. That might’ve hurt more than the punches that hit his skin last night.
'Makkari,' he signed, 'I’m okay.'

After an attack, Makkari and Druig evaluate how much they mean to each other while getting patched up.

Summary
Shane is aware that he is an absolute mess, with hands trembling and shoulders shaking. His breaths are coming in short bursts, quicker than he is able to control them.
The confession sits like an elephant between them, and yet, Ilya hasn’t moved, tracing soothing circles between Shane’s shoulder blades.
“Sweetheart.” His husband’s voice is steady, soothing. “You need to breathe for me, okay? This isn’t good for you.”
OR, after a night out with J.J. and Hayden, Shane wakes up, certain that he has cheated on Ilya. (Spoiler alert: he hasn’t)

Summary
If only she had paid closer attention to the tale of Tantalus.
There had been no middle ground for Tantalus. He wanted it all, he got nothing. He wanted it all, he got worse than nothing. He got eternal tension — to yearn and never release. Torture in its biblical form.
There would be no middle ground for Michaela, either. She could not have part of Francesca while she still coveted the whole.

Summary
Shane tries to remember, peering into the darkness surrounding the car with a furrowed brow. It hurts to move, and he feels something warm and slick sliding down his cheek.
More blood, his mind supplies rather unhelpfully.
He was driving after dark, but he shouldn’t have been. He wasn’t supposed to be. They had all night together, so why is he here?
I already chose you, Hollander.
Shane inhales sharply as his mind slowly fills in the gaps in his memory. They fought. Ilya told him to leave. Shane did.
And then he crashed.

Summary
“We’ve made a trade,” Coach announces. “For Shane Hollander.”
It’s like the ground drops out from beneath Ilya, and his heart falls from his chest. It tumbles past rock bottom, down to the cavern that shattered open inside of him on that night five years ago. The night when Ilya walked away from Hollander for the last time.
He can’t breathe.
(Or: Shane doesn’t get hurt, they break up, and they don’t talk for five long years. Until Shane is traded to Ottawa.)

Summary
Pete considered the question for a long moment, then said, “tell me somethin’ you never told anybody else.”
Ray blew out a quiet laugh. One foot in front of the other. “You wanna know my secrets, Pete?”
Pete’s voice was slow like molasses in the dark of the night. “I wanna know everything.”
