Summary
Heat spread across Ilya's face. His mouth fell open slightly. He let out a short, stuttered laugh of disbelief. This couldn't- he was straight, he wasn't-
“Finally got you at your own game.” Shane's smirk widened to a smile, his hand clapping down on Ilya's shoulder to squeeze it slightly. For once in his life, Ilya was unable to find his voice.
“Damn.” Shane laughed, jostling him a bit. “If I had known this was all it took to get you to shut the fuck up, I would have started flirting back years ago.”
----
When old college friends Ilya and Shane show up to their mutual best friend's wedding, they are ready to fulfill their duties as bridesmen. Even after years of not seeing each other, they fall right back into their usual banter.
Ilya loves to flirt with Shane. Shane loves to tell him to fuck off. It's a running bit. Nothing more than a joke between two friends; because Shane is gay and Ilya is straight and it doesn't actually mean anything…until Shane finally decides to flirt back, and Ilya's world suddenly tilts on its axis.

Summary
Shane and Ilya are coming out this summer. First they need to convince the fans that being competitive doesn’t depend on hating each other at all, actually. With a little [a lot] of help from Harris Drover, it’s all going according to plan. [Well, except Ilya keeps saying that being public friends means they're now officially friends with benefits. Shane did not buy Ilya a ring to be demoted to friends with benefits.]
-----
The camera tracks Shane and Ilya as they race back up the ice. They cross the finish line in a blur of speed and round on Harris.“I don’t-,” Harris says, “It was so tight. Maybe we call it a draw?”
Ilya throws his arms up. “[Beep], is not a f-[beep]-ing draw, is-”
“Harris, what the [beep]?” Shane shouts, eyes wide. “What do-”
The two of them abruptly fall silent.
“Um, sorry, sorry.” Ilya shrugs.
Shane flushes. “Sorry, yeah, sorry Harris.”
“So I’m guessing,” says Harris, “you want a re-do?”
“Cannot be a tie,” Ilya says at the same time Shane says, “draws aren’t a real thing.”
Harris can’t help it. He bursts out laughing.

Summary
Rookie Roz has fucking nothing on the self-destructive bastard that spawns in the fall of 2016.
The demon that has swapped places with Cliff's best friend has one goal, and that is seemingly to kill the body it has stolen. The CGM app looks like a goddamn mountain range, and for the entire first two weeks after The Breakup Cliff is waking up several times a night to call Roz and get him to deal with the high or low that he’s trying to sleep through.
And then the notifications stop.
(Or, 4 times and ways someone helps Ilya manage his type one diabetes + 1 time the world finds out about it)
