Summary
“I’m sorry, buddy,” he says, “I should’ve known you weren’t feeling it.” Shane finally looks at him. He makes a low, unfamiliar sound, vibrating through the water. It is confused and searching, a sound Hayden doesn't hear from him often.
Somewhere deep in the facility, a heavy impact reverberates through the walls, metal groaning under the strain. Ilya. Hayden closes his eyes. Ilya is bigger, faster. And he wants to kill Shane.
//
Hayden thinks the new wild mer in the aquarium, Ilya, is trying to murder his best fish friend, Shane. Turns out he's got it all wrong, and murder is the last thing on their minds.Series

Summary
Ilya goes through maybe the worst twenty-four hours of his life.
Then he does it again.
Or: instead of Shane's canon injury, there's a time loop.

Summary
It was a Friday when the video dropped.
“What is happening?” He asked St Simon, who was holding his phone tight to his chest, his expression odd. “Someone has died?”
Across the room he could see Marlow moving slowly upright from where he had been doing floor stretches, his phone in his hand as well, his face pinched.
“It’s Hollander,” St Simon said.
The bottom of Ilya’s stomach fell out, closely followed by the rest of Ilya’s organs. His chest hurt so acutely that he thought he must be having a heart attack.
“Not dead,” St Simon added quickly, reaching out to grab Ilya’s shoulder when Ilya’s knees actually buckled. “Jesus, sorry. I should have - no it’s just -”
“Someone tell me what the fuck is going on,” Ilya snapped, “and everyone else shut up.”
Marlow reached him now, held his phone out to Ilya, open already to an article with a headline huge enough Ilya could easily make out the HOLLANDER blaring out of it even before his eyes focused and he took the phone from Marlow.
A video is posted online, for Shane it feels like a death sentence. For some parts of him, it is.

Summary
Shane knows it’s not a good time to have this conversation. He should wait until they’re not both tired from a stretch of tough games, until he’s not exhausted from having all the Centaurs over for the day. He should wait until he can’t feel anger simmering inside him and his shoulders aren’t tense. That’s probably why he doesn’t wait.
“Stop trying to make me be friends with Troy Barrett.”
