Summary
“Can I show you something?” Ilya asks, finally breaking the stifled silence.
“Yeah. Of course.”
“I will be right back.”
Shane appreciates the warning, calming his anxiety as Ilya extracts himself from Shane and gets up from the bed. He saunters over to the closet like a man on a mission. Even in his distress, Shane hates to watch Ilya leave, but loves to watch him go. He disappears a moment later before coming back with a medium-sized cardboard moving box with “fragile” written in Ilya’s chicken scratch.
“I thought you hadn’t started packing yet.”
Ilya smiles, carefully setting the box in the middle of the bed near Shane before climbing back up. “I started putting some of the important stuff away a few nights ago.”
Or:
Shane is frustrated when he shows up at Ilya's house to find out he hasn't packed a single box. An interruption from Cliff Marlow sends him spiraling further, until Ilya shows him just how in love with Shane he is.

Summary
“Be careful,” Shane frets, one hand hovering over Ilya’s shoulder. “It’s icy, and I don’t want to be a widower.”
“Oh, we’d have to be much higher than this for the fall to kill me,” Ilya says, gaze still fixed on the cool black skyline. “At least seven stories.”
It’s not until much later, as the waitress is clearing the dishes from dinner, that Yuna finds herself wondering why Ilya knows exactly how high a fall needs to be in order to kill him.
Or: Yuna learns about Ilya's past bit by bit over the years.

Summary
“Do you have a budget?” Shane asked once, early on.
Ilya looked at him with such patent confusion that for a moment Shane thought that he didn't know the word in English. Then Ilya said, “No, Hollander. I do not have a budget,” voice dripping with disdain.
“You really should,” Shane said, parroting the line he’s heard from his parents so many times before. “It’s important to manage your finances.”
Ilya just rolled his eyes.

Summary
From my headcanon:
Shane and Ilya never play boardgames together like normal people. It always gets intense and they always wind up nãked in the end, the loser prone. Shane's favorite? Strip Trivial Pursuit, easy to figure out. Ilya's? Anything that frustrates Shane into pushing the pieces off the table and climbing into his lap.
I started writing, and Shane wanted to play Trivial Pursuit first, so I let him do his thing.
Enjoy.
It's 1AM and I have work in the morning, hope you heathens like this smut fic I wrote for us.
<3
Not beta-red, just Grammarly and a prayer. If you see anything that needs fixing, let me know.

Summary
“I was thinking,” Shane says without looking up from his salmon, “about how you guys said it was okay if I wanted to bring someone over for Christmas?”
Yuna gasps sharply, but David speaks before she can. “Of course, son.” He says warmly. “Do you have someone you want to invite?”
Shane nods slowly, eyes still glued to his plate. He takes a deep breath before looking up, not quite meeting David or Yuna’s eyes, but rather staring off at the space between them. “Can we have Christmas at the cottage? I’m… I mean, we are pretty private and I don’t want to have to explain to the neighbors—”
His son is blushing bright red, but all David can think about is ‘we’. Since when are Shane and this mystery person a ‘we’? Just how serious is this relationship?
He had noticed that Shane’s on his phone a lot. That on the rare occasion that David manages to stir the conversation away from hockey, Shane would bring up things he’d never shown interest in before: movies about racing cars or international music.
David had figured that there was someone in his son’s life, but not that they were a ‘we’.
Or
How Yuna and David come to adopt their second son
