    All timer - masterclass in form and style and so tender (like gentle, but also like a bruise), but so witty too

    Summary

    Afterwards, Hollander lays his head on Ilya’s chest like he has every intention of staying there. Hope has Ilya’s heart beating in his throat. Hollander must hear the elevated pulse.

    “I told Hayden I might not be back until morning.” The way Hollander says it makes it sound like a challenge.

    Ilya doesn’t want to talk about Hayden Pike in his bed. He is also going slack with relief.

    Hollander is not trying to leave. Ilya can keep him for a little longer.

    Summary

    "What I'm missing in the daytime, I think my dreams are giving back to me. If that makes sense."

    "No," Hayden says finally. "Sorry. I don't get it."

    Shane is dreaming about someone he doesn't recognise. Shane is grieving something he doesn't know. Those two things are connected, somehow.

    Ilya is stuck in an airport. Ilya is stuck. Ilya is-

    Summary

    There’s a sign in front of Shane. It says Welcome to Scott Hunter and Kip Grady’s Happily Ever After in a cursive font that makes Shane think of Etsy. Shane’s stomach churns. He briefly squeezes his empty ring finger. He feels, all at once, like he might cry. Instead, he swallows, and breathes, and pastes a smile on his face, and marches his ass down to Scott and Kip’s fucking wedding of the century.

    Summary

    Ilya is not going to do anything. He knows this. He's also standing very still.

    He thinks about his mother's arm, hanging over the side of the bed. He was twelve. He'd thought she was sleeping.

    He closes the cabinet.

    The face in the mirror is someone he recognizes in the way you recognize a city you lived in as a child: the basic geography is familiar, but you can't find anything you're looking for.

    -

    Or: A closer look at Ilya’s first year in Ottawa, set against his first in Boston—featuring a long-lost answering machine he claimed he’d never listen to, the family inevitably left behind when you move, and the mostly self-imposed pressure of loving a man as large and looming as the great Shane Hollander.
