    Summary

    “What is there to talk about?”

    “What’s there to talk about?!” Hollander scoffed, shaking his head. “You’re playing for my fucking team!”

    “I know.”

    “Why did you have to go and get traded?! You realise we’re going to have to see each other every day from now on, and play together, and-”

    “Yes,” Ilya interrupted. He didn’t want to know how long Hollander’s list was. “I know.”

    Hollander took a deep breath. “Okay, listen,” he said. “Just so we’re clear - we don’t know each other outside of playing against each other, right?”

    “Right.”

    “And we can’t- can’t hook up anymore.”

    ~

    OR: Ilya gets traded to Montreal in October 2014. He's lonely, and angry, and he misses Boston. He doesn't know if it helps that Hollander is there or not.

    Summary

    The words sliced through Ilya’s confusion. His own voice from over a week ago, echoed in the sudden, ringing silence of his mind: “You can have sex with other men when we’re apart.”

    No.

    No no no.

    Ilya blinked rapidly, fighting back the hot press of his own tears. The sheer, utter wrongness of it all was suffocating. Shane, on his knees, apologizing for being hurt. Shane, calling himself a burden. Shane, begging for the bare minimum of affection because he thought… he thought Ilya wanted this.

    (or, what happens when Shane does go and sleep with another man and utterly breaks because of it)

    Summary

    Following a near-fatal suicide attempt, Ilya Rozanov is admitted to Calder Ward. He speaks almost exclusively Russian, refuses interpreters, and answers most questions with shrugs or silence. Staff struggle to establish even the most basic details of his life. Why he attempted suicide, who he left a note for, and what he has lost remain mysteries.

    Across the ward, Shane Hollander is fighting a different battle. Intelligent, anxious, and trapped by an eating disorder, he attempts to maintain rigid control over food, exercise, and his body even as his health deteriorates. Despite increasing concern from staff, he struggles to recognise the severity of his illness.
    As clinicians search for answers, the story reveals that recovery is rarely driven by dramatic breakthroughs. Instead, it emerges through trust, routine, patience, and human connection.

    Told entirely through clinical documentation, ward notes, emails, assessments, and multidisciplinary discussions.

    Summary

    The cheap fluorescent lights of the convenience store almost resembled those of his childhood bathroom. But Simon was sixteen now, and he hadn’t been a child for a long, long time. His hands pulled one of the fridge doors open and he reached inside, blindly grabbing two bottles without even checking the label. Because it was past midnight, and Simon couldn't talk to his sister, or to his friends, or to anyone. Because his Dad was probably passed out somewhere and Mama had work in the morning. Because the boy he loved wasn’t there anymore, and someone had stolen Simon's childhood.

    __

    or, a canon divergent follow-up to s1 where we actually get to see simon's storyline and the repercussions from the video (featuring a much needed simon breakdown).
