Summary
Theo doesn’t go back in the cage. He’s allowed to hose himself down and drag himself with a small meal back to his cot in the cell. The door is closed, but the lock doesn’t click into place.
Theo doesn’t eat. The bowl of meal sits on his trembling knees as he presses his hands flat under his thighs and rocks back and forth on the edge of the cot, mouth opening and closing, eyes distant and cold as glass.
You crouch in front of him.
“Theo,” you try again, the first time in years.
“Tara,” he says, shocking you. Your eyes widen. “I wish you were here.”
But he’s not looking at you. Through you, perhaps, but at the wrong angle.
“It wasn’t worth it,” he says. “It wasn’t. It wasn’t. It wasn’t.” His breaths are wet, but his lashes stay dry. “Not for your heart. Not for it to be treated this way.”
“Theo,” you cry out.
It’s his twelfth birthday. It feels cruel that now, in more ways than one, you'll never be his big sister again.

Or: Five times Tara and Theo tried to hurt each other, and the one time they finally realized they were not each other’s enemy.

Summary
When Shane was freshly sixteen, Yuna came home to find him freaking out by himself at the kitchen island.
He was perched on one of the bar stools with his entire torso slumped across the counter and his arms extended in front of him, hands balled into fists on the granite. His head was buried between his shoulders and he didn’t sound like he was breathing.
Yuna didn’t say anything for a solid thirty seconds. Alarms blaring in her head, she silently tossed her purse to the side and beelined for her son with her hands out to comfort him.
---
Or: Five times Yuna suspected Shane was gay, and the one time she finally found the right words to say.

Summary
“Come here,” Ilya says, pulling him down until he’s laying on his side, his back flush against Ilya’s chest.
Shane shifts closer, his breath coming out in a sigh, before—
“Why were you such an asshole to me that time in Vegas?” Behind him, Ilya goes very still. “I mean, not the time in Vegas that we’ve talked about. Rookie of the Year. That time.”
Shit. He was supposed to do this tomorrow.
or, the boys talk about the "I go home in three days" misunderstanding. Shane may or may not misunderstand it again.

Summary
After Shane walks out on Ilya following the tuna meltdown, he meets Rose Landry, who promptly clocks him as gay and drunkenly encourages him to get over the guy he's pining for through Grindr meetups. Slutty Shane Hollander ensues, but hookups aren't as satisfying as Shane imagined them to be.
grindr au! my first work on ao3/my first fanfic in general! this will mostly be slutty shane (in a twisted kind of way i think) but hollanov will be end game i pinky promise.

Summary
“Luch-Shane,” Ilya says, catching himself only at the last moment before he breaks their no pet names in the workplace rule. “Why don’t you get some air, yes? We can-”
Shane’s anxiety takes a quick backseat to annoyance once more, at being handled like a child instead of a grown man, like he hasn’t been doing this just as long as Ilya, like he needs someone to tell him when to take a break.
Like he deserved to have everything taken away from him because he couldn’t handle it to start with.
“I’m fine,” he says, voice icy.
The step he takes away is too big, farther than he meant to get from Ilya’s side, and the air between them feels both charged and icy.
He isn’t quite bold enough to try and fix it.
(shane is married and on the same team as his husband) (and all it cost him was his whole career and the life he spent years building beforehand) (but it's fine, really) (it's all so very, very fucking fine)
