    Summary

    “The first time we hooked up,” Shane starts, “you pretended you were going to leave after I made you come.” Ilya’s hand stills, still tangled in Shane’s hair, much longer now than it had been back then. Shane presses on quickly, not wanting to give Ilya any time to misinterpret where this is going. “You said you would never leave me like that.” The sentence sticks in Shane’s throat, making his mouth gummy and dry the same way as being double shifted during a game they can’t afford to lose. Shane can’t afford to lose this, either. Somewhere against his scalp he feels the faintest hum, a bid to keep going. “What if…” he has to swallow again, thickly, “what if I wanted you to?”

    After a devastating loss in the Stanley Cup playoffs, where the Centaurs got so close they could almost taste the victory before the ice cracked underneath their feet, Shane needs help getting out of his own head. Ilya is happy to help.

    Summary

    Shane’s ex-girlfriends keep coming out as queer. He’s trying to be supportive, he really is, okay? Listen, he’s an ally! But it’s sort of becoming a problem. For pretty obvious reasons, because people are definitely starting to notice—Ilya most of all.

    (AKA, I give Shane the most absurd queer community and convoluted coming-of-age journey of all time and it still somehow gradually makes things better in the long run.)

    Summary

    The Boston Raiders disappear from the afterparty one at a time. Rozanov never made it in the first place.

    ...

    Ilya goes into rut at a charity scrimmage, and Shane has to figure out how to get him somewhere with a bed and plenty of extra sheets without drawing too many eyes. Even Shane himself tries to scrutinize the situation as little as possible, watching it in shadows and mirrors like Ilya's going to turn him to stone if Shane confronts the very real and very precarious position he's gotten himself into.

    Summary

    Media: Here is the goodest most normal boy.
    Me: Oh so he’s a lil fucked up, got it. Here he is developing a bruise kink on top of everything else going on.

     

    Something’s different, just in general. Like wearing sunglasses, a filter of sorts over everything, but if Shane was in any way honest with himself, he’d know it was more like going without for the first time.

    He’s painfully aware of his body these days; how it looks, how it moves, how it responds to… stimuli. And it is responding, lately. His bruises, too: always just there, so used to them they’d barely registered anymore, but recently there’s been a sort of constant hum of them at the edge of his awareness. It’s a layer of input he really doesn’t need right now, busy as he is.

    But he’s been woken up. Restless. Needy.

    Late in bed, when all his chores are done, fingers travel up to his collarbone, where the newest acquisition is waiting for him.

    Summary

    The first thing Viktor notices as he opens his eyes is the absence of pain.
    The second is gut-wrenching hunger.
    Something’s wrong. Something’s terribly, terribly wrong.

     

    Viktor isn't fused with the Hexcore (he's fused with much, much worse).
