Summary
“I had this crush. This childhood crush, but it wasn’t a crush. It was never a crush. I loved him, Mom. And I still love him and it’s so… painful. I said that I never wanted to fall in love because it hurts. It hurts so much, to know that he’s there and I can’t-” Will’s voice falters once again.
“Darling-” Joyce’s voice breaks, and she clears her throat and begins again. “Will, you throw yourself into every single part of life and it makes me so happy. The love that you have, it’s not going anywhere. You don’t have to be ashamed of it, that's all I can ask for. Even through the hurt and the pain that comes from loving someone, I just want you to remember to not forget why you love them, and why you fell in love in the first place.”
Will’s face is still damp and tears still threaten to fall and yet, his mom’s words wash over him like the first drop of rain after a long summer’s day.
“Was it the swingset?”
Will’s breath catches. Of course she knows.
A fix-it fic of Will's coming out scene, with a secret eavesdropper.

Summary
So Shane Hollander is, how do you say in English, a dirty little thief. A clothing thief, to be precise. Ilya can't say he saw that coming, but he also can't pretend he's all that mad about it.
His shirt looks good on his Shane. On Shane. On Hollander.
Right. His shirt looks good on Hollander.

Summary
“How fast were you driving?” Shane asked.
Ilya groaned, rolling his eyes. “A normal speed.”
“You can’t have been driving a normal speed. I was driving at a normal speed, and you beat me here.”
“Yes, second time tonight I beat you.”
Shane glared at him, but went and opened his front door anyway. As soon as it clicked shut, Ilya was pressing him up against the wall, his mouth on Shane’s neck.

Summary
“Hey,” Shane said quickly, breathless. “It’s me.”
“...Hello, Hollander.” Rozanov’s voice was deep and solemn.
“Are you okay?”
A short laugh echoed down the phone. “What do you think?”
Shane cringed at himself. “Right, sorry. Stupid question.”
“Is fine.” Rozanov sighed. “I am okay, I suppose… I do not know.”
“I’m… I’m sorry.”
“Why? You are not the one who sold story.”
~~
The coach's son from Ilya's youth sells his story, and Ilya is left to pick up the pieces. Hollander helps more than he could have ever expected.

Summary
Ilya Rozanov has spent ten years circling Shane Hollander. Ten years of hotel rooms and secret phone calls. Ten years of pretending he doesn't feel it, doesn't need it, doesn't wake up reaching for someone who's already gone. Ten years convincing himself he's not good enough. That he's not worth it.
Then a plane needs to make an emergency landing near Montreal, and Yuna Hollander is on it.
So when Shane calls him from a bathroom floor, unable to breathe, Ilya stops pretending.
After five hundred miles of frozen highway, three and a half hours of driving like a man possessed, a hospital waiting room full of people who have every reason to hate him, and a boy who looks at him like he's something worth keeping, Ilya may have learned a thing or two about what it means to be loved—and to let himself love freely.

Summary
“What did you actually think?”
He can’t help it. He looks at Ilya. Ilya only stares at him. “I say that now, in hindsight. Back then, I wasn’t thinking. Not really. It would come to me in waves, the anxiety, the fear. Most of the time,” he says. “I was just…”
“Waiting for me to speak?” Ilya offers.
Shane shakes his head, “I was trying to make it to tomorrow with you alive.”
or,
Ilya and Shane work to find themselves, and each other, again after Ilya's suicide attempt.Series
