    Summary

    “Did J.J. try to set you up with that guy?” Hayden asked.

    Shane nodded, then frowned. "Why didn't you, like, discourage him?"

    "That dude sounded perfect for you.” Hayden immediately held his hands up as outrage flashed across Shane’s features. “What? I just think you can do better!”

    Shane’s mouth dropped open.

    “For fuck’s sake, Hayden.”

    Hayden laughed as he crossed the room and dropped down onto the bench beside him, nudging Shane’s arm with his elbow.

    “I’m kidding. Mostly. Besides-”

    Shane closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose.

    “It’s not funny.”

    “Hey,” Hayden said in a conciliatory tone, though there was no real apology in it. “Look. I fucking hate the guy, but if he’s what you want…”

    The words chafed. It felt wrong, all wrong, like someone humoring a bad decision. Like of course Shane could do better, should want better. Like it was obvious.

    Shane saw red.

    Summary

    Ilya had told Shane to leave because they needed space - they needed some room to catch their breath so they could talk about things properly. So they could say sorry and fix the mess they had made. But one day apart stretched into two, into three, into a week, and suddenly Shane was on the other end of the phone, saying, ”Maybe this isn’t going to work, Ilya.”

    At least Ilya is good at that part; he’s an expert in being left behind.

     

    (Or, Ilya and Shane breakup. Then the Centaurs’ plane almost crashes.)

    Summary

    Shane’s thoughts feel dangerous. Or - not dangerous, exactly, but really fucking scary. The kind of thoughts that used to have him bolting upright in the middle of the night, his skin drenched with cold sweat at the mere prospect of such a thing.

    But now…now Shane thinks it’s time.

    “I think this is my last season,” he whispers, voice faltering over the words he’s never said aloud before.

    Summary

    Ilya feels like a zombie; he’s an approximation of something living.

    He knows what this is, of course. He isn’t stupid. He was just a child when he watched the life bleed out of his mama, long before she stopped breathing. He watched her sweet smiles grow hollow, and her kind eyes fall blank. He felt her slipping through his fingertips like grains of sand in an hourglass; her time was up before Ilya had truly even realised that it was running out.

    When he looks in the mirror, he sees her staring back at him: blond hair, and blue eyes, and an emptiness that kills.
