    Summary

    "I'm scared that when I wake up, all of this will have been a dream," Shane murmured into Ilya's skin. "I never want to forget this day. These two weeks, really. I want to remember every second of it, even if it means staying up all night just to hear you breathe. I want to remember that this was all real."

    "You will sleep," Ilya insisted, pushing Shane's shoulder so that he could lie flat on his back. "Because I want to remember you sleeping beside me also. I do not want to remember you pulling an all-nighter and crashing your ugly car because you passed out while driving me to the airport."

    TL;DR — A documentation of Ilya's last 24 hours at the cottage through Shane's eyes, in which he reckons with the passage of time, the importance of scents, and the condition of his flannel.

    Summary

    Nothing’s wrong. It’s just that Shane Hollander’s standing here in his kitchen, barefoot and dressed in Ilya’s softest, ugliest clothes, ready to help him cook dinner. It’s just that, after nearly a decade, after so much pain and heartache and distance, Shane Hollander is here in Ilya’s kitchen, looking at him with such obvious love and care and worry. It’s just that, after everything Ilya’s done over the years to deter Shane from loving him, Shane’s stubbornly, doggedly refused to stop.

    It’s just that Ilya kept that stupid, ugly t-shirt—wore it by himself in his big empty house, wore it smoking on his balcony, wore it to sleep, packed it with him when he went back to Russia for his father’s funeral—because he thought that it might be the only bit of Shane he ever got to keep.

    And he was wrong. God, he’s never been more grateful to be wrong in his life.

    OR: Shane wears Ilya’s ugliest, most embarrassing t-shirt, and Ilya reacts like Moses at the burning bush.

    Summary

    After Shane comes out, the Metros become convinced he might be attracted to them.

    Shane corrects this assumption with devastating precision, accidentally describes Ilya Rozanov in the process, and somehow turns the entire locker room into a deranged pageant of heterosexual insecurity.
