Summary
The advert he’d seen online the month before had seemed too good to be true; between his parents and his teammates asking when he’d settle down, Shane was tired. Tired of the constant match making, even as well intended as it was and tired of feeling like even this private aspect of his life was something performative; like there was nothing to his existence that was just for him.
He’d wanted an easy out, and Google had had the answers.
Utmost discretion. Blonde. Green eyes. Passable English.
After hours of research vetting the agency he’d selected, Shane had wired over the funds and crossed his fingers before immediately stress cleaning his already pristine house.

Summary
“Oh my.”
She can’t help it. There’s Shane, her baby, only he looks like a baby. Tousled hair, one hand rubbing sleepily at his face, he looks like he’s eight years old again. His other hand is hidden from her, held out at an awkward angle around the corner of the kitchen.
“Uhm. Mom, I found a boy in my room?” Shane says, clearly confused. “I think we’re friends, but- Are we having a sleepover? I never had a sleepover before, but-”
“Ah, no. Is not true-” comes a soft voice from around the corner. “Tell them-”
“They’re not gonna yell at you.” Shane grumps. “You tell them.”

Summary
"Come in.” the boy says impatiently, his Russian enviably flawless.
“Sorry.” Shane mutters back. He’s still working on his vocabulary, but years of listening to Ilya muttering in Russian whenever they were together has given him a pretty good ear for the accent.
“You speak Russian?” the boy demands in rapid Russian. “Do you know what’s going on? Where am I? Where’s my Mama? Who is this fucker?”
“Slowly, please. I am learning. Say it again, please.” Shane replies with deliberate care, stepping into the hotel room and closing the door. “And don’t say fucker.”

Summary
“What is the League saying?” Shane asks. He’s almost scared to find out, but they need to know what they’re dealing with here.
“They want you back, obviously. They don’t know why Rozanov hasn’t made any demands yet-”
And it’s ridiculous and so, so like his Mom to be disappointed in someone for being inefficient at kidnapping her son.
“I am thinking about it!” Ilya protests. “Has been only two hours!”

Summary
Ilya’s heart starts to race as he hurriedly shoves his hand inside the rumpled material. Ignoring the exuberant players and their daemons around him, Ilya’s fingertips have barely grazed soft feathers before he’s carefully scooping the tiny body of a sparrow out of his jersey.
“Evie, malysh.” he whispers, horrified.
Shane’s daemon, a tiny sparrow with a mottled mix of brown feathers, lies limp in his hand. She looks so tiny, so fragile like this, that Ilya can’t help but cup his hands protectively around her little body. Running the pad of his thumb gently along her head and back, he tries to coax her awake; though she shivers and pulls her wings back close to her body, she doesn’t wake up.
