    Summary

    After they came out, Shane was ready for people to be weird.

    It was weird with other guys in the league, weird with reporters, weird with angry fans who thought his relationship had tanked their fantasy teams and their sports betting parlays, weird with sponsors and their very enthusiastic pride campaign pitches, weird on all the social media that he avoided like the plague.

    What he hadn't expected was for things to be so fucking weird with other gay people.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    A really great look at the jarring reality of being queer, but not having the privilege of being part of queer culture.

    Summary

    "Hi, solnyshko.”
    The Russian pet name set a firework off inside Shane's mind as he heard it cooed from behind him. The intonation was just as he remembered, but the voice was much deeper.

    He turned and felt himself short circuit. It took every ounce of willpower to not let his jaw drop cartoonishly to the floor. Shane would recognize his individual features anywhere, even after 5 years. But it was as if someone had snapped their fingers and the smug, silly Russian boy who had been attached to Shane's hip for 3 summers was transformed into some sort of fucking Adonis right before his eyes.

    “Ilya-” was all Shane managed before strong arms were wrapped around his waist and lifting him off the ground in a greeting all too familiar from years ago.

     

    OR
    When Shane Hollander & Ilya Rozanov spent their summers as teens in an elite hockey camp, they quickly became inseparable friends. But they lose touch when Shane moves on as a prospect for the NHL and Ilya for the KHL.

    Years later, Montreal makes a bold move to take the hottest player in the KHL. After hearing of the Russian's reputation, the Montreal Captain is tasked with keeping his old best friend and new teammate out of trouble.

    Summary

    “I can always play poker,” Hollander says, far slower than he’d recited the stats. “What are you playing?”

    “Durak,” Ilya says when the others just look expectantly at him.

    After a beat, Hollander seems to muster up his courage. “Can I join?”


    Or: Five times people learn the still waters of one Shane Hollander hide a veritable card shark, and one time Ilya gets to see a different side.

    Summary

    It's been weeks since Arthur escaped the O'Driscolls, but he still can't sleep. Not without Charles nearby. Charles is going crazy. He can't bear being in love with his friend. Not when Arthur is in so plainly in love with this Mary woman. The confession could ruin their friendship. Or maybe not...

     

    “You’re leaving?”
    Takes a moment for Charles to look up from fiddling needlessly with Taima’s reins. To face Arthur. And speak. “Yeah.”
    “You can’t.”
    “Arthur.” He says it with a sigh. “You knew I was gonna leave eventually.”
    “But I—” I need you, he almost says. “I thought you was taking me with you.”
    Charles looks at him so fondly. “I can’t—"
    “Was you gonna say goodbye at least?” Arthur knows he sounds more wounded than angry. And he supposes he is.

    Buck
    >> What firefighter is in a meeting at, what, it’s 7pm your time, right?

    TK
    Not like that. <<
    NA meeting. <<

    Buck
    >> Oh.
    >> Sorry I didn’t know.

    He hesitates, but then thinks if he could tell one person what he was thinking, now it would probably be TK.

    >> I go to those sometimes too.

    -

    Or, 5 times Buck and TK helped each other through their addiction over the phone, and one time they celebrated.

    Summary

    They both know this is it. That beyond this barren landscape, whatever they found here will cease to exist.

    It was born here and it’ll die here, and Eddie will spend the rest of his life missing it, but he’s not allowed to take it with him. They have to bury it - dig six feet down and submerge it in the sun-scorched earth so she can remember it for them. So she can cradle it and keep it safe, where no one can ever touch it. Where no one can ever taint it.

     

    (Buck and Eddie meet in Afghanistan. It changes everything.)

    Summary

    In his mind he repeats, ‘Tell me you’re not miserable, tell me you’re not miserable,’ Like a terrible mantra, echoing and echoing until it reverberates off of the walls in his mind, the walls in his home. He wants to fall to his knees and clasp his hands together in prayer. He wants to beg, plead, cry, scream, until his voice is hoarse; tell me you’re not miserable, please.

    Or: Eddie finds himself in poetry and figures out what he wants.

    Summary

    “I'm gay.”

    He's looking at his feet, because he hasn't quite come to terms with the fact that he's saying this in a room where other people, strangers, can hear it.

    But this is still the first time he's said it this way: out loud, in a declarative sentence. Being nervous is fine. Frank said that being nervous is fine, and Buck just said he's proud, and the only thought Eddie has in his head is that it's embarrassing he can't raise his head and say it like a man, so clearly, he's going to need to hang on to other people's words for the time being, someone who isn't his dad trying to explain the ways Eddie's allowed to inhabit the world.

    He doesn't need to ask anyone's permission to be who he is. That's also a thing Frank said.

    in which eddie attends a self-empowerment group for gbtq men to supplement his therapy, and is empowered to: forgive himself, say "i'm gay" to his own reflection in the mirror, accidentally adopt an adult, make fried rice, and tell his straight best friend that he's in love with him. not necessarily in that order.

    Summary

    Arthur knows he's dying, can feel the unstoppable pull of it, feels the spirit appear behind him to take him along. And yet, he finds he does not want to die. There is so much that went wrong, so much he regrets and he wishes, with all his being, he could change it. Could at least ensure those that managed to get away really make it out alive.

    A second chance, he asks, begs, really. Just give me the chance to save them.

    The being behind him pauses and Arthur can't look away from the moment he's frozen in, staring at the dark mountainside, aching to see the sun rise just one more time.

    One chance, the spirit seems to whisper, voice satin soft. Make the most of it.

    Summary

    “Hey,” Evan said, raising his voice a little to be heard through the open window. “Why don't you send me a letter sometime? A little snail mail. You know my address, yeah?”

    Eddie laughed, throwing his head back, and waved him away. Evan would probably never see Eddie again, as much as he wished he would. What were the chances he'd actually write? Evan had been half joking, and no one even sent letters nowadays.

     

    Three weeks later, Evan opened his mailbox. Sitting there, mixed in with the bills and flyers, was a lightly crumpled envelope with an Army Post Office return address.

    “I don't know how to be something of that worth.” Sanji whispered.

    You who have traveled this sea and seen its enormity and been humbled. Jinbe thought of the Sun Pirates and the brands on their skin, replacing injustice with purpose, anger with compassion. You who gives and does not take. He wanted to cry.
