    Summary

    “On a full moon,” I start. I turn around, stupidly checking that there’s no one behind me, even if I know that I’m the only one who ever comes here. I wet my lips and call myself an idiot for giving in to Baz so easily before I continue. “If we get our entire body out of the water, then we…we can grow legs. Like humans. Just for one night.”
    “Have you ever tried?” Baz asks, breaking the silence.
    I could lie.
    I should lie.
    “Yes,” I murmur, my eyes darting to the water, as if I was betraying the sea by admitting it out loud. “I have…”

    Summary

    He gives her a new name. Anya.

    It’s not the name her mother called her as a pup, and it’s not the one her other family called her (when they spoke to her at all). It’s brand new, and from the very beginning she feels in her heart that it is right. Yes. She is Anya. Her Papa uses that magic only humans have to remake her whole world, and it is better than any world she knew before.

    -OR-

    Shane and Ilya’s love story, seen through the eyes of their beloved dog.

    Summary

    It happens in an instant.

    Over Ilya’s shoulder, Shane sees the doctor and Wiebe give each other a look, and in a sudden bout of impatient anxiety, Shane ends up saying the words that come to ruin everything.

    “Don’t touch me.”

    The effect is instantaneous. Ilya’s hands fly to his sides, and Shane gets a front row seat as Ilya’s heart breaks before his very eyes. Eyes dimming and lips trembling in slow, painful technicolor.

    It causes Shane’s heart to break, too, and he vows, immediately, never to see such a look cross his husband’s face again.

    OR Shane embarks on a mission to heal his husband’s heart, one PDA at a time.

    Summary

    Shane is in a post-game interview when his world stops.

    He’s just answered a question about Montreal’s offensive strategy going into the game. Clean passes, avoid penalties, draw defenders wide. It had worked and the Voyagers had beat Colorado soundly, 4-1. Shane had scored two of the goals and assisted on a third.

    Usually, Shane would be eager to boast about the win to Ilya. But ever since their fight- since Ilya told Shane to leave- winning feels hollow. Losing feels better, somehow. As if Shane deserves to lose after being so selfish. Ilya gave up everything for him- his home, his team, and to some extent- his happiness. Hockey. Ilya gave up hockey- good hockey- for Shane.

    A ripple goes through the room of reporters. Shane swears he hears the word ‘Ottawa’ and ‘crash’. But no one is paying attention to him anymore.

    “What’s going on?” he asks into the microphone, feeling strange at the role reversal. Usually, he’s the one being asked questions.

    No one answers. And this time he knows that he hears the word ‘Ottawa’ and ‘Centaurs’.

    ------------------------------------------

    Shane rushes to Ilya after the almost plane crash. Their secret is no longer a secret.
