    Summary

    Shane wished that he and Ilya had woken up that morning in Saskatchewan in 2008. Before anyone knew who they were. Before they became numbers instead of men. Shane would have kissed him against the rusted sheet metal and the No Smoking sign. He wouldn't have wasted any moment in any timeline. He'd go back again and again, kiss him and beg for forgiveness. And when he had been through every possible iteration, he would find a way to go back, fall to Ilya's feet and beg for forgiveness one more time. Then he would look into a mirror and try to ask for his own. But he couldn't. And they wouldn't. This was the hand they had been dealt.

    Or: It's January, 2019 and Shane Hollander can see that the world's view of Rozanov is slowly killing the real Ilya. Roger Crowell orders them to be quiet and capitalise off the attention using Shane's golden image, which fans think is being ruined by association. Shane decides there is no better way to free Ilya now than to simply become the biggest PR nightmare the MLH has ever faced. Shane thinks it might even be fun.

    Summary

    “I think we need a plan.”

    “I thought we have a plan?” Ilya asked, gruffly, his brow furrowing in confusion.

    “I just mean…” Shane’s face was serious; his eyes were doing that puppy-dog thing that Ilya couldn’t resist, where they looked earnest and soft and serious all at once. "What if we didn’t wait to come out? Rather than waiting until we retire. Maybe, I don’t know, stopped hiding quite so much and just… let people figure it out, eventually.”


    Changing the Narrative, or; Hollander and Rozanov's Guide to a Gentle Take-Off

    Shane and Ilya are done hiding. Coming out, however, is another story. Between family, friends, fans, teammates, and a league still grappling with inclusivity, changing the narrative might just prove more complicated than they expected.

    Summary

    In hindsight, sending Stiles away to live with his Uncle in London, while a good idea on paper, may not have been the best decision that Sheriff Stilinski ever made.

    However, in his defense, how was he to know that his chaos-gremlin of a son would flourish and find a new calling?

    Or that it would take him into the very belly of Her Majesty's Secret Intelligence Service?

    He couldn't know. All he knew when he sent his son away, was that he came far too close to losing him. Everything that came after, was allowed - so long as Stiles survived.

    Even if it meant taking on a new name, a new territory to call his own, and a new vocation that would lead him into far more danger than he ever would've encountered in tiny little Beacon Hills.

    All the good sheriff ever asked was that his son survive.

    Thankfully, in time, he'd have some help with that. 00-help. Though whether that was a blessing or a curse, only time would tell.

    Summary

    Ilya and Shane have always played the long game.

    Stay quiet. Stay careful. Stay together, just not publicly. Not yet.

    In ten years, they’ll have everything they want.

    Then Ilya gets a call from Russia.

    Within days, their carefully planned future is replaced with something much more immediate: grief, guardianship, and a four-year-old girl who needs them now.

    Suddenly, “later” isn’t an option anymore.

    everything you’ve ever dreamed of disappearing when you wake up
