  1. Summary

    Alex and Olivia's relationship, beginning in Season 2 and continuing until after Season 18. Follows canon, with a specific interpretation and addition of scenes. Any canon after Season 18 is disregarded, because I had planned out what I wanted this to look like before Season 19 premiered.

    Summary

    “Can I ask you something?”

    There’s a flash of what looks like fear that crosses Ilya's face before he sits back, his posture slightly closed off as his arms cross in front of his chest. “Depends on what it is,” he says, eyes somewhat steely.

    She gets why people are intimidated by him on the ice.

    “Why Ottawa?” She knows it’s something everyone has been asking, but she feels like it’s a legitimate thing to ask. “I mean, I get maybe you’re not happy in Boston, but you could have gone anywhere.”

    “Not anywhere,” he says with an almost pout.

    “But almost anywhere.”

    He lets out a long breath of air through his nose. “I know it does not make sense, but it should not have to make sense to anyone but me.”

    Kate tilts her head to the side, appraising him from across the table. “That’s not an answer.”

    Ilya shrugs, but he holds her gaze steadily. “Maybe one day you will understand. But for now, know I am where I am supposed to be.”

    And who is she to argue with that?

    __

    Or, everyone asks 'why Ottawa?' Ilya's neighbor, Kate, just happens to figure it out first.

    Summary

    Rita’s reviewing the Kanagawa case when she says, “sheesh, this ‘Glass’ fella turned out to be a real piece of work, huh? And here I thought he was a nice guy. You know—“ She goes on to describe some guy her aunt Helen used to date who also qualified as ‘a real piece of work’ and while Juno can’t really see a connection between aunt Helen’s ex-boyfriend and Nureyev, he’s glad somebody’s agreeing with him.

    Nureyev is a piece of work. So why can’t Juno stop thinking about him?

    Or: a series of times Juno Steel thought about Peter Nureyev too long and too hard, followed by one time the two of them were very late to Buddy Aurinko's post-heist party.

    Summary

    They had a couple of months together, that's all. It's less time than Buck spent seeing some of his friends with benefits, far less time than Eddie had with Ana, nothing compared to the years of history Shannon brought with her when she came back into Eddie's life and stamped Buck out of it.

    A couple of months. Probably not enough time to fall in love.

    in which there is a breakup, a doorway, and four years of building a life.
