Summary
"Neil" looks at him, and Andrew feels seen in a way that should be impossible, like Neil is able to see what lives under the skin of Andrew Minyard. He stares, evaluates the danger, tensing momentarily, eyes flicking to the nearest door and then back to Andrew. Then he blinks, considering, and relaxes deliberately, like he has taken in all that Andrew is and has come to the conclusion that he is not a threat. Andrew feels his hackles rising. Andrew had been a threat long before he became Andrew.
Two facsimiles of humanity, trying to be real.

Summary
Cliopher takes a deep breath. The easy softness around Fitzroy’s eyes stills into watchfulness. He is so very afraid to disturb the equilibrium they have built and to peel open wounds already closed, but this is not just for himself. It is for Fitzroy. For them both.
A second breath.
“I think we should revisit the topic of sex,” he says, words clear, steady.

Summary
Ilya's hand continues its path up and down Shane's back, and Shane thinks again about how love is sometimes just this: a palm on the spine, moving in circles, waiting for you to come back to yourself. There is no promise of saving you—Ilya cannot save him, they both know this and are alright with it in their own ways—but there is a vow of staying, lingering in order to witness. Touching the bruise so that its pain triggers the memory that you are allowed to be touched.
Outside, the snow continues its work of erasure. Inside, Shane's breathing begins to even out, every limb recalling how to be a man at rest rather than an animal fawning and freezing. The trembling subsides, wave by wave, as if Ilya's hand is smoothing it out of him.
"Sleep, зайчик," Ilya says softly, his free hand coming to rest in Shane's hair. "I have you."
This is not true, Shane thinks, and it is also the only true thing.

recovery, shane learns, is not a straight line. to begin to understand something, you must first name it.

Summary
Shane loses his game to a blizzard and his boyfriend to a bad hit, all in the same night.
Snowed in with his parents in Montreal, he watches Ilya get stretchered off on live TV, and discovers that when your relationship is a secret, no one at the hospital thinks to call you.
In Ottawa, Ilya wakes up with broken bones, a serious concussion, and a neatly edited brain. The months where he was lonely and depressed and fighting with Shane? Gone. He’s mentally living in the soft, hopeful beginning of things—and the more everyone tiptoes around him, the more wrong it feels.
The Centaurs step up. The Hollanders dig in. Shane tries to convince himself that “temporary amnesia” is not the same thing as losing him.
They’re still together. They’re technically fine.

Summary
“Communication in the field is tricky, yes? Patronus is too complex for most to cast quickly. Not all experts like you, Hollander,” Rozanov added with a wink. Shane felt his face heat.
Rozanov had seen his Patronus on their first day in the field. It had started with a Ministry raid gone wrong, and ended in the waiting room at St. Mungo’s with the first of their many shouting matches, this one over the difference between a mallard and a loon.
“So—” Rozanov gestured to the ruined corridor. “We test rapid message system. Cast dictation spell to write a note very fast. Use right owls for the area to avoid detection.”
“Right.” Shane could definitely feel a headache starting. “And betting on where they’re going to shit all over the rug is..?”
“Covert operations test,” said Rozanov seriously. “Cannot risk leaving trace of surveillance activities, Hollander. Surely you know this.”
“I—” Shane broke off helplessly. Rozanov always managed to spout the most incredible bullshit while making it seem like Shane was the idiot somehow. “Can I speak to you in your office, please?”

Shane is finally ready to come out on his own terms in an emotional Instagram post about his relationship with Ilya...
The only problem is everyone thinks he was hacked.
To be fair, Ilya writing: No is true, I'm gay for Hollander, did not help.
