    Summary

    A rough emergency landing of the Ottawa Centaurs' plane in Tampa, Florida makes national headlines.

    With Ilya's phone lost in the chaos, Shane has no way of finding out if Ilya is injured - or how injured. So he makes his way to Tampa.

    Or: The plane crash/incident in the long game but a rougher landing, more injuries (no significant/long-lasting harm), and Shane running to Tampa to see Ilya.

    Story and Chapter titles are lyrics of the song 'Sleepwalking' by All Time Low that gave me the inspiration for this fic!

    First half of the story will be Angsty hurt/comfort, second half will be the comfort part of hurt/comfort with a dose of crack.

    Summary

    Flight 771 shouldn't have been any different than any of the hundreds of other flights that Shane has taken over the course of his career, aside from the fact that it was taking him towards his lifelong dream—towards the Olympics.

    It shouldn't have been any different.

    BEND OVER, STAY DOWN.

    BEND OVER, STAY DOWN.

    BEND OVER, STAY DOWN.

    It is.

    Summary

    Her heart pounding in her chest, Alja stared at the four letters on her father’s broken screen.

    Илья. Ilya.

    She knew almost nothing about her father’s life— except for his brother. His successful, rich, yet good-for-nothing brother.

    When he sank the deepest, on those nights where stars didn’t quite shine, Alexei’s tongue loosened. And words gushed from his mouth, words he never remembered having spoken aloud.

    *

    OR

    in which Alja Rozanov is very similar to her uncle— not that she knows it.

    Summary

    “Don’t worry?”

    Shane’s hackles raise, because not long ago he’d read Ilya’s last words and felt his heart stop. And not long after that, Shane watched Ilya collapse, fade, and everything in his own body leaped to follow.

    Worry seems pretty appropriate, actually.

    “Shane,” and the way Ilya says his name, like it’s something precious, will never stop shaking Shane with the double-tap of his blood, rising to the wonder of it; it’ll never stop making Shane feel seen for every raving thought and fear and dread he’d spent his whole life hiding, like Ilya’s first language was Russian, but his mother tongue was Shane.

    “I mean only you don’t need to worry, it will all be fine,” Ilya says so gently, steeped in more love than Shane quite knows how to hold. “Is natural for me.”

    “Scaring the fuck out of me? Yeah,” the words pop out, like Shane's jittery heart knocks them past his lips without meaning to: “kinda starting to seem that way.”

    -

    A record-breaking blizzard meets the desperate need to see the love your life despite it—should be okay, right? Snow's natural for your husband, he'll be fine.

    (Or not.)

    Summary

    Shane Hollander isn’t good at understanding the unsaid, but 6 months of silence interrupted by the reminder he’s nothing but boring and fucking annoying is pretty easy to interpret.

    It’s over. He lets Ilya have him. Fuck him. And it was fun, and now it’s done. He’s lost the appeal when he gave it up. Message received, the player is done chasing.

    He’s going to throw up.

    ______

    Ilya Rozanov and his avoidant technique of “if I don’t touch or say anything, then I can’t make it worse” is used on a spiralling, self-deprecating, repressed homosexual overthinker with anxiety. It does make it worse.
