    Summary

    Shane thought about sending the message, he really did. For a moment, he allowed himself to imagine what it would have been like for Ilya to flinch at the sound of his text, a ping from the other side of the room. Maybe he would pounce. Maybe he’d act slowly, putting out his cigarette, fingertips brushing the pool of vodka at the bottom of a glass before wiping it off, padding across the room to answer.

    OR

    Shane doesn't send the message after the NHL awards. Instead, he accidentally summons the 2024 version of himself to 2014. A fix-it where future Shane meddles in his past life.

    Summary

    The locker room was buzzing in a way Shane could feel right below the surface of his skin. Not quite progressed to a humming in his bones, but getting there. His body felt like a switchboard, with every nerve lit up. He could feel the weight of each strand of hair against his scalp. The pool of sweat starting to dry against his lower back in the way that always made him want to scrub his skin raw.

    or

    Shane learns the language for the things he’s experienced his whole life. It opens up his world but also leads him to grieve the life he could have had if he only knew the words sooner. At least he doesn’t have to navigate it alone.

    Summary

    It was a Friday when the video dropped.

    “What is happening?” He asked St Simon, who was holding his phone tight to his chest, his expression odd. “Someone has died?” 

    Across the room he could see Marlow moving slowly upright from where he had been doing floor stretches, his phone in his hand as well, his face pinched. 

    “It’s Hollander,” St Simon said. 

    The bottom of Ilya’s stomach fell out, closely followed by the rest of Ilya’s organs. His chest hurt so acutely that he thought he must be having a heart attack. 

    “Not dead,” St Simon added quickly, reaching out to grab Ilya’s shoulder when Ilya’s knees actually buckled. “Jesus, sorry. I should have - no it’s just -” 

    “Someone tell me what the fuck is going on,” Ilya snapped, “and everyone else shut up.” 

    Marlow reached him now, held his phone out to Ilya, open already to an article with a headline huge enough Ilya could easily make out the HOLLANDER blaring out of it even before his eyes focused and he took the phone from Marlow. 

    A video is posted online, for Shane it feels like a death sentence. For some parts of him, it is.
