    Summary

    “You want to talk to people about me?” Shane asked quietly.

    There was something small and confused in the question. But Ilya was still furious and raw.

    “Well I would,” he sneered, “if there was anything about you that was fucking interesting to talk about! It would be nice to not be so fucking bored and miserable!”

    The second the words left his mouth, he watched the pain roll across Shane's features like a thousand fractures shattering through glass.

    Ilya had seen Shane nearly break ribs. He had seen him miss game-winning shots, take hits that left bruises blooming purple and black across his skin. He had never seen this.

    Shane closed his eyes for a long moment. He shook his head slightly, a tiny movement, then nodded once as if agreeing with something only he could hear. His face twisted briefly with a fresh wave of pain before he forced it to still.

    ---------

    What if Shane and Ilya don't make up so easily after the Boxing Day fight? The Centaur's plane never malfunctions, so Shane never proposes. Instead, Ilya gives him an ultimatum on coming out and going public. It backfires spectacularly.

    Summary

    This was Ryan’s first mistake—letting a curse that was permanently imprinted into his mind slip away from his consciousness when he heard a whisper telling him he was capable of finally living, in love and in freedom. His second mistake was letting a boy fill his mind so incessantly that he no longer had any room for fear. Although fear was the match to gasoline that created this torture, it was how they remembered to survive. Ensuring Naim’s survival was so integral to Ryan’s life that he seemed to forget he was surviving too.

    or

    Ryan and Naim navigate surviving with the curse, two years post canon.

    Summary

    This thing can wear his face.

    It can borrow his voice.

    It can knock on the door and call for Naim.

    But they don't know how Ryan walks.

    And they don't know that, given the choice between fear and each other, the boys chose each other.

    Again.

    And again.

    And again.
