    Summary

    The knee-jerk response, obviously, is a big, fat no fucking way.

    “Dude, c’mon,” Hayden says, slapping his arm. “It’s a rite of passage. You can’t break tradition or you’ll risk a bloodline curse.”

    Shane goggles at his best friend. “You think that I, as a gay, Asian, autistic man, have concerns about following antiquated rites of passage? Or bloodline curses?”

    “I think that you, as someone who has had the same warm-up routine and pregame rituals since they could sing their ABCs, would understand the value in following the rules.”

    Ilya, obviously, says yes. He only lets the WAGs ask first because it’s proper etiquette and he would never do anything to disrespect his posse.

     

    Or, before their wedding, the boys are morally and legally obligated to allow their friends to throw them a bachelor and bachelorette party, which are very different in nature but equally chaotic

    Summary

    "SHANE-1, activate your introduction protocol."

    Shane's eyes focus on me. When he speaks, his voice is male, neutral, soft even, but with a slight synthetic quality. Not quite human but close enough to be disconcerting.

    "Hello, Mr. Rozanov," he says. "I am Synthetic Healthcare and Advanced Nursing Evaluation system. Or otherwise known simply as SHANE. My primary function is to assist with your medical care and daily living activities. I am here to help you."

    I look at Shane. He stands perfectly still on the charging pad, watching me with those unsettling brown eyes. There's no expression on his face. No indication of what he's thinking, if he's even thinking at all.

    "So.." I say finally, "What now?"

    "I am here to assist you," Shane says. "What do you need?"

    As the years pass, Ilya begins to lose pieces of himself. Shane remembers everything.

    Summary

    Shane knows about the sensitive spot behind Ilya’s ear. He knows how long it will take to walk from Montreal to Boston, until his feet are bloody. He knows what Ilya tastes like after he’s had a cup of coffee. He knows about all the women Ilya takes home. But Shane also knows Ilya talks in his sleep. These small intricacies of their love is what keeps Shane’s head above water. There’s only a hint of an ache when he hears Ilya’s name. Ilya kisses him and that ache is now more apparent. Ilya kisses him and he unravels. No one is to blame. It’s just the way these things go. But it wasn’t until that day in the locker room, when he heard the news, that he realized just how much he had to lose.

    or, Ilya is lured away by his own sadness. Shane goes after him.
