    Summary

    Galina makes it a point to remind Ilya that people aren’t mind readers, and unfortunately, if there’s something wrong, he has to actually communicate this. He's aware of this. He is. Even though it's always been so much easier said than done, even on a good day.

    But when the unthinkable happens, Shane ends up seriously injured, and Ilya can't bring himself to reckon with his role in it all, or how they'll move forward.

    Now it's all the more impossible to communicate the weight of his guilt, the feelings of inadequacy, and the all-consuming fear that Shane might not survive.

    Summary

    Yuna has been worried about Shane since the day she found out she was pregnant. He was quiet, prefered to play by himself or try to bribe stray cats into his arms to take home. Always alone.
    Shane wasn't like other children, she knew that. He was special in many ways, but seeing him by himself all the time hurt the large part of her that new no matter what he did, he would be an outcast. All she wanted was for her baby to have an easy time in this world, have someone to look out for him.

    A friend. God, all she wanted was for Shane was for him to have a friend, and with every birthday or missed milestone she grew more and more worried it wouldn't happen. Not without help.

    Then the Rozanovs' moved into the house next door.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander met Ilya Rozanov at the Ottawa ice rink when he was seven years old. It took exactly three lessons for little Ilya to annoy his way into being Shane's one and only friend. Together, they navigate hockey, school, teachers, girls, and their ever growing, all consuming crushes on each other.

    Or; What if Ilya moved to Canada when he was a child and grew up with Shane?

    Or or; What if Shane had the support that he lacked growing up?

    Summary

    “People aren’t either wicked or noble. They’re like chef’s salads, with good things and bad things chopped and mixed together.”

    Frank learns early how little it takes to shift the course of things, how easily a life can bend around pain, around silence, around the wrong kind of survival.

    Months later, Dr. Robby meets a boy he almost remembers, and can’t quite place why he doesn’t sit right.

    Summary

    "I don't care either way. Whatever happens, happens. Nobody's gonna miss me. She asked if I wanted her to take me back to my family, and I said I don’t got a family. So she called fuckass social services on my ass and now I'm here in Arkansas."

    "This is Oklahoma,"  Darry muttered.

    The kid rolled his eyes. "It's all the Midwest, ain't it?"

    In which the Curtis family open their home to an angry foster kid from New York in hopes that a little southern hospitality goes a long way.
