Summary
“Jeeze, how long does it take to grab a charger?” Yuna glances at the microwave clock. “It's been over two hours. Is Shane okay?”
David Hollander won't pretend that he's never lied to his wife. Any relationship needs a few white lies to smooth over the miscommunication and minor gripes, and Yuna can be a strong flavor at times. But he’s never needed to hold in something like this, and he’s really, really not sure he can.
Only trouble is, Shane asked him to.
-/-
Episode 6 AU: Shane catches David outside the cottage and begs his father not to tell Yuna what he saw.

Summary
Unspoken things grow in the cave of Shane’s chest, lapping over with new mineral layers the way a cluster of particles swells into crystal over eons. He knows that’s where the power comes from, from the relentless tug of the secret between hope and fear, evolving, expanding, fueled by the stewing uncertainty.
He’s only making it worse for himself. At this rate, if he ever confesses to Rozanov, there’s no end to what it might destroy.
Or: Old secrets are dangerous things—strange, unpredictable magic that Shane has never been skilled at controlling. He's spent years swallowing the words that could eviscerate his life as he knows it.

Summary
Because it's good news, right? That no one has told him that Ilya is— There probably would have been headlines. Or a press release. A photo of him in his jersey, smiling, two dates only twenty-eight years apart, a few lines about his career, and no listed survivors. Supportive tweets from a bunch of people in the league. Shane's team would put out a press release about the foundation and probably get a flood of donations. There would be something, if he were—
But there's nothing. There's just this void. Nothing, nothing, no sign of him. It's like Ilya has disappeared off the face of the earth.

Summary
The first thing that people notice when they look at Ilya is the way that the word disappointment carves itself in jagged, angry letters along his jawline. This is not the worst mark he bears—it’s just the most visible.
(In which the most hurtful things your soulmate has thought about themself appear as words cut into your body. Shane and Ilya find reasons to love each other anyway.)
