    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov has been owned by the agency since he was twelve years old. He has been trained, molded, shot, broken, and pumped full of experimental serums until they decided he was ready to face the world as Weapon 8-1R. Silence was beat into him, and he hasn’t spoken since he was a child. The first day he went on a mission, he stopped being a he. He started being an it. That was almost 50 years ago.

    Now, it’s scraping together a timeline from dates on dossiers when it’s let out of the cryogenic chamber and hoping to god it doesn’t die on one of their missions. It has to live for as long as they let it. It can’t let its family die.

    Weapon 8-1R is sent on a mission to eliminate an enemy threat: Shane Hollander. The mission starts like any other, but it quickly takes a turn for the worse. Now, the Weapon has to escape the compound, complete its mission, and return to the agency. But warm brown eyes draw it in, and maybe, maybe, there’s something other than nothing in its future. Maybe. If it’ll let itself believe.

    Summary

    A lot happens in 2021.

    Troy Barrett is settled. He's out, he's in love. He's playing hockey on a great team.

    From the inside, he watches as his captain is outed, gets married, and brings his husband, Shane Hollander, into the Centaurs' locker room. Things shift, a little at a time.

    New for the world, he thinks. New in front of the world.

    Summary

    I am happy.

    Ilya tells himself this every morning and every night. He tells himself this in the car on the way to see Galina. He tells himself this when Shane scores a hat trick against Montreal and kisses Ilya at center ice. He tells himself this when the Centaurs break the Presidents’ Trophy curse to win their first Cup ever.

    I am so, so happy, Ilya thinks, because maybe if he says it enough times, if he just wishes hard enough, it will finally be true.

    OR: The many faces of Ilya's depression over the years.

    Summary

    "Shane," Bood says firmly. And it sounds so wrong, because Bood never calls him Shane. Shane is always Hollzy. And Bood's voice is supposed to be loud and steady, not shaky. And Shane finally, finally becomes aware enough of his surroundings to feel the trembling of Bood's hands against his waist. "Shane, please. They're working on him. We need to give them space so they can—so they can make sure he's okay."

    "He's my husband," Shane chokes out, not quite managing to choke down the sob that's been building up long enough to boil over. Bood makes a similarly choked noise at that. "You need to let me go. He's my husband."

    Summary

    “You look terrible,” Shane says bluntly when he greets Ilya at the stairwell. “Are you hurting?”

    Ilya shrugs. He is hurting, actually. The adrenaline from the win wore off somewhere between his texts with Shane and the medic’s second consult. His face feels swollen and it hurts to speak when he says, “I am not wilting daisy, Hollander. I can handle getting hit at hockey game.”

    “Well, I’m glad you’re okay.”

    A strange pang hits Ilya’s chest then, unassuming and small. Ilya chooses to think nothing of it.
