    Summary

    Maybe before, Shane would get jealous. Jealous every time Ilya mentioned Svetlana even after he knew better, jealous of every tabloid photo of Ilya with yet another woman at some club. Not that Shane was ever looking. Not that Shane let himself think that he cared.

    Now, Shane cares a little too much. He cares so much, so wholly and so wildly sometimes that it scares him. He loves Ilya, and part of loving someone means trusting them too. Shane trusts Ilya with every fiber of his heart and his soul.

    Ilya’s hot new physical therapist, maybe not so much.

    -

    Or, Shane gets jealous. Maybe. Just a little.

    Summary

    There is an incessant pressure thrumming throughout Shane’s body. It's a tickling, almost burning sensation radiating from his fingers and toes. The pressure is most intense in his nailbeds, fingers and toes curling each time the feeling spikes. It doesn’t hurt. But it makes him want to hurt. It makes him want to scratch and hit and bite. Anything to get rid of, to mask, the feeling coursing through him.

    or

    Shane can feel his nails growing.

    Summary

    Her shoulders shake as she continues to cry, and Ilya sighs softly. “Come here, sweetheart.”

    He sits back, directing Mina's legs over his thighs so that he can wrap her up in a little ball, shielding her from the world. “I am so sorry, my sweet girl,” he murmurs. “Is okay. I have you.” He holds her to his chest, one arm curled around her back, the other around the tops of her shins.

    His heart aches in his chest at the sound of her sobbing and sniffles. He hates this. His perfect baby should never have to feel heartbreak, even if it’s a thing that every human experiences. He wishes he could shelter her from every kind of pain, as unrealistic as that may be.

    “You will be okay, my baby,” he whispers.

    - or, 5 times Shane and Ilya navigate their teenage daughter's emotions, plus 1 time she handles theirs

    Summary

    “Hey, listen, I know you keep denying that you have a girl here in Boston, but we both know you're lying. You've been seeing her for years. Why don't we text her? Maybe you can spend the night with her at her place or something.”

    Shane frowns. What's Hayden even talking about? “Don't have a girl,” he mumbles.

    “Shane,” Hayden says, his voice firmer now. “I’m gonna text Lily.”

    Shane's eyes widen at that name, only now understanding what Hayden's talking about. Because he might not have a girl in Boston, but-

    “No, you can't text Lily.”
    __________

    Shane gets drugged at a club. Ilya takes care of him.
