    Summary

    The brush off Shane received when he suggested Ilya try medication was hardly surprising to him. What he found shocking was that he had actually done it. Without telling Shane, no less. And if that wasn't startling enough, finding out the entire hockey community knew because of one ill-timed picture Cliff Marlow took practically knocked him off balance.

    “Who knew Rozanov would be the poster boy for Prozac?” Hayden muttered with a huff. “God, he’s gotta be floating on cloud nine with that dose. Normal people take like what, ten or twenty? Sixty must mean he was damn near suicidal.”

    “Probably,” JJ agreed, shrugging. “I wouldn’t know, I don’t need to medicate myself to cope with life.”

    “If he’s all doped up, how come he’s still always such an asshole?” one of the rookies questioned, earning a few laughs.

    Shane just felt sick to his stomach. And angry. At his team and Marlow and mostly at himself. Ilya had done exactly what he asked and now, he was getting mocked for taking care of himself. In what world was that fair?

    “Maybe that’s why he’s so aggressive on the ice,” another theorized. “He's trying to kill himself and take another player with him to make it look like an accident.”

    Summary

    When Hal accidentally causes Batman to break his favorite mug, it leads to an unexpected conversation where he discovers that Batman isn't quite as unshakable as he once thought.
    ---
    "Why does this mug mean so much to you?" he asked at last, his curiosity getting the better of him. "Seems like it would be easier to replace it with another mug. Something more tasteful."

    He looked ready to punch Hal after that comment. His mug might not be pretty, in fact, it was quite a mess by most people's standards. After all, it was bright red, green, and yellow, with little bird-shaped doodles drawn across it. But it was his favorite. It was an ugly, cheery mug which Bruce cherished more than anything else at the Watchtower. No one knew why.

    "I can't replace it," Bruce told him eventually. "Ever."

    "Why not?" Hal questioned. He knew he was pushing his luck, but he couldn't help but be curious about what could be so special about this mug that it made Batman of all people sentimental.

    Bruce hesitated before revealing the truth. "My son made it for me."

    Summary

    “Oh, just that Ilya and I have been fucking for, like, a decade.” Shane said, nonplussed.

    JJ’s jaw dropped. Hayden let out a weird, choking sound. Troy started laughing, but it also sounded like he was crying. Wyatt and Cliff looked at each other, huge smiles taking over their faces.

    “He’s who I had sex with this morning,” Shane continued, oblivious to the table’s reactions. “Twice.” He added cheerfully.

    ---

    It was supposed to be a casual night out with friends - until, JJ and Hayden show up, with Shane (his secret boyfriend).

    Shane is panicking, of course, so Ilya pours him some vodka, as an emergency option. This turns out to be a mistake. Lips get loose, and secrets are revealed.
