    Summary

    “Yeah well,” Nico said, forcing a tense smile. “At least it wasn’t all bad. It uh- It could have been much worse.”

    “I guess,” Will said. “But it should’ve been better.”

    Or...

    In which the world flips upside down, Nico finally gets it, and Will still manages to make obscure 80's movie references.

    Summary

    Shane is in a post-game interview when his world stops.

    He’s just answered a question about Montreal’s offensive strategy going into the game. Clean passes, avoid penalties, draw defenders wide. It had worked and the Voyagers had beat Colorado soundly, 4-1. Shane had scored two of the goals and assisted on a third.

    Usually, Shane would be eager to boast about the win to Ilya. But ever since their fight- since Ilya told Shane to leave- winning feels hollow. Losing feels better, somehow. As if Shane deserves to lose after being so selfish. Ilya gave up everything for him- his home, his team, and to some extent- his happiness. Hockey. Ilya gave up hockey- good hockey- for Shane.

    A ripple goes through the room of reporters. Shane swears he hears the word ‘Ottawa’ and ‘crash’. But no one is paying attention to him anymore.

    “What’s going on?” he asks into the microphone, feeling strange at the role reversal. Usually, he’s the one being asked questions.

    No one answers. And this time he knows that he hears the word ‘Ottawa’ and ‘Centaurs’.

    ------------------------------------------

    Shane rushes to Ilya after the almost plane crash. Their secret is no longer a secret.

    Summary

    He had never felt particularly good about discussing anything connected with feelings. Their irrationality never ceased to confuse him and he had trouble with talking about his emotions. Because of that, he feared that the explanation he had offered El was rather simple, not really capturing the intricacies of the idea. His anxiety only grew, as she remained quiet, her expression still inquisitive, but calm nevertheless. Briefly, Mike felt like disappearing, overwhelmed by embarrassment.

    — A short and fluffy two-shot about discussing the idea of love and how expressing it is not always easy.

    Summary

    Mike doesn’t know what the future holds for them. Maybe there will be other monsters, demons – real ones and the ones in their heads. Maybe the threats will come from something less fantastic but just as frightening. There will always be battles to fight, that he knows for sure. And, if someone had asked him a couple of moments ago how he would survive all of those perils, he would have been filled with fear and uncertainty, because he has no idea how to do just that. Now, El’s hands in his, her breath tickling his damp lips, their promises resonating in his ears, he still doesn’t know how he will do it, but he is absolutely certain that he will.

    If only just to wait for her.

    Unconsciously, the promises make their way into their lives. In the end, it is what keeps them together.
